Affymetrix Mouse Genome 430 2.0 Array (mouse4302)
Description
Rod-derived Cone Viability Factor is a trophic factor of the thioredoxins family that promotes the survival of cone photoreceptors. It is encoded by the nucleoredoxin-like gene 1 Nxnl1 which also encodes by alternative splicing for RdCVFL, for a thioredoxin enzyme that interacts with the protein TAU. The role of thioredoxins in the defense mechanism against oxidation led us to examine the retinal phenotype of the Nxnl1-/- mouse after photo-oxidative stress.

Description
We used microarrays to detail the global gene expression signature of PDAC and to identify distinct up- and down-regulated transcripts in these tumors compared to control pancreas. We also established from this dataset the metabolic signature of PDAC in order to define new metabolic therapeutic target for pancreatic cancer.

Description
Serum and glucocorticoid-induced kinase 1 (SGK1) regulates blood pressure and has been implicated in inflammation and fibrosis. We have tested whether increased SGK1 activity potentiates mineralocorticoid/NaCl-induced hypertension and kidney injury. To that end we have used a transgenic mouse model with increased SGK1 activity (Tg.sgk1).

The recent interest in the role of bone marrow derived endothelial progenitor cells in the benefits of estrogen on cardiovascular health brought us to evaluate if estrogen could affect cardiac repair more broadly by regulating biological processes involved in the functional organization of the bone marrow stem cell niche.

Description
Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) is an incurable disease with poor prognosis. At this moment, therapeutic options are limited to chemotherapy and no targeted agent has reached the clinical setting. Bromodomain and extraterminal (BET) inhibitors are a new family of compounds that inhibit bromodomain containing proteins affecting the expression of transcription factors (TFs), therefore modifying the expression of relevant oncogenic genes.

Description
Leishmania (L.) are obligated intracellular protozoan parasites that develop electively in macrophages. These cells that are acting as a safe shelter for the pathogens but also as their ultimate killer, making them the alpha and the omega during leishmaniasis diseases. Macrophages are able to secrete a remarkably diverse set of regulators known to influence the physiological functions and differentiation of neighboring cells to trigger an adaptive immune response of protective Th1-type cells, whereas parasites have developed a wide range of mechanisms to circumvent the hosts immune responses. Most of our understanding of this host-parasite conflict, in the context of macrophage invasion by L. major metacyclic promastigotes, has been gleaned from studies investigating the macrophage responses at late and unique time points after infection.

Description
Numerous studies have shown that resistance to oxidative stress is crucial to stay healthy and to reduce the adverse effects of aging. Accordingly, nutritional interventions using antioxidant food-grade compounds or food products are currently an interesting option to help improve health and quality of life in the elderly. Live lactic acid bacteria (LAB) administered in food, such as probiotics, may be good antioxidant candidates. Nevertheless, information about LAB-induced oxidative stress protection is scarce. To identify and characterize new potential antioxidant probiotic strains, we have developed a new functional screening method using the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans as host. C. elegans were fed on different LAB strains (78 in total) and nematode viability was assessed after oxidative stress (3mM and 5mM H2O2). One strain, identified as Lactobacillus rhamnosus CNCM I-3690, protected worms by increasing their viability by 30% and, also, increased average worm lifespan by 20%. We performed a transcriptomic analysis of C. elegans fed with this strain and showed that increased lifespan is correlated with differential expression of the DAF-16/insulin-like pathway, which is highly conserved in humans.

We aim to identify miR-1a/miR-206 and miR-133 targets by CLIP-Seq. C2C12 cells were transfected with anti-miRNA oligos or a control oligo before CLIP. The ultimate goal is to test if mRNAs are able to exert titration over microRNAs.

Description
Vaccine adjuvants enhance adaptive immunity to co-administered antigens. Whereas the modes of action are multiple, the activation of antigen-presenting cells (APC) like dendritic cells by adjuvants is a prerequisite. Detection of microbial signals by innate sensors like Toll-like receptors (TLR) is a major mechanism of APC activation. Most candidate or licensed vaccines assume that adjuvant activity of TLR agonists depends on direct effect on APCs. This study addressed whether TLR stimulation of non-hematopoietic cells could contribute to the adjuvant effect. Nasal administration of flagellin enhanced Tcell- and antibody-mediated immunity to co-administered antigens in a TLR5-dependent but inflammasome-independent manner. We found that lung radioresistant cells were sufficient to promote immunity, thereby suggesting that direct TLR5-mediated APC stimulation is dispensable to adjuvant activity. Consistent with this, radioresistant compartment is essential to stimulate the swift TLR5-dependent transcription. The transcriptional response was restricted to the epithelial compartment and was associated to the production of a narrow set of mediators including the chemokine CCL20, known to promote APC recruitment in mucosal tissues. Besides, flagellin was rapidly degraded in lower airways and was not transported into lung parenchyma or peripheral tissues. This study therefore suggests an unexpected mechanism for how TLR agonists act as adjuvant and how epithelium is instrumental to sense and integrate microbial signals to promote adaptive immunity. In conclusion, the immune-enhancing effect of adjuvants on epithelial cells can be harnessed for improving vaccines.
