To investigate the role of the circadian clock gene Bmal1 in skeletal muscle, we compared the circadian transcriptomes of fast tibialis anterior (TA) and slow soleus (SOL) skeletal muscles from muscle-specific Bmal1 KO (mKO) and their control Cre- littermates (Ctrl).
Muscle insulin sensitivity and glucose metabolism are controlled by the intrinsic muscle clock.

View SamplesBefore birth B-cells develop in the fetal liver (FL). Here we show that Gli3 activity in the FL stroma is required for B-cell development. In the Gli3-deficient FL B-cell development was reduced at multiple stages, whereas the Sonic hedgehog (Shh)-deficient FL showed increased B-cell development, and Gli3 functioned to repress Shh transcription. Use of a transgenic Hedgehog (Hh)-reporter mouse showed that Shh signals directly to developing B-cells, and that Hh pathway activation was increased in developing B-cells from Gli3-deficient fetal liver. RNAsequencing confirmed that Hh-mediated transcription is increased in B-lineage cells from Gli3-deficient FL, and showed that these cells expressed reduced levels of B-lineage transcription factors and BCR/pre-BCR-signalling genes. We showed that expression of the master regulators of B-cell development, Ebf1 and Pax5, is reduced in developing B-cells from Gli3-deficient FL and increased in Shh-deficient FL, and that in vitro Shh-treatment or neutralisation can repress or induce their expression respectively. Overall design: Wildtype and Gli3 mutant (Gli3+/- and Gli3-/-) (n=2) embryonic day 17.5 fetal livers were sorted for CD19+B220+ cells. RNA extracted from these cells was sequenced to help understand the transcriptional changes governing B cell development in the Gli3 mutants.
The transcription factor Gli3 promotes B cell development in fetal liver through repression of Shh.

View SamplesInnate immune response is the first line of antiviral defense resulting, in most cases, in pathogen clearance with minimal clinical consequences. Viruses have developed diverse strategies to evade innate immune response and to ensure their survival. Using transmissible gastroenteritis virus (TGEV) as a model, we previously reported that accessory gene 7 counteracts host antiviral response by its association with the catalytic subunit of protein phosphatase 1 (PP1c). A transcriptomic analysis was performed to further investigate the effect of gene 7 absence on the host cell.

View SamplesCyanide is stoichiometrically produced as a co-product of the ethylene biosynthesis pathway, and it is detoxified by the b-cyanoalanine synthase enzyme. The molecular and phenotypical analysis of T-DNA insertional mutants of the mitochondrial b-cyanoalanine synthase CYS-C1 suggests that discrete accumulation of cyanide is not toxic for the plant and does not alter mitochondrial respiration rates, but does act as a strong inhibitor of root hair development. The cys-c1 null allele is defective in root hair formation and accumulates cyanide in root tissues. The root hair defect is phenocopied in wild type plants by the exogenous addition of cyanide to the growth medium and is reversed by the addition of hydroxocobalamin. Hydroxocobalamin not only recovers the root phenotype of the mutant, but also the formation of ROS at the initial step of the root hair tip. Transcriptional profile analysis of the cys-c1 mutant reveals that cyanide accumulation acts as a repressor signal for several genes encoding enzymes involved in cell wall rebuilding and the formation of the root hair tip, as well as genes involved in ethylene signaling and metabolism. Our results demonstrate that mitochondrial b-cyanoalanine synthase activity is essential to maintain a low level of cyanide for proper root hair development.
Mitochondrial beta-cyanoalanine synthase is essential for root hair formation in Arabidopsis thaliana.
