Project description:Neuronal Wwox overexpression using CRISPRa in Drosophila melanogaster also expressing human AB42 can rescue amyloid related phenotypes. To understand how this may occur we performed bulk transcriptomics on day 14 heads from the same genotypes: 1) Control gRNA + lacZ expression control, 2) Control gRNA + amyloid, 3) Wwox gRNA + LacZ control, 4) Wwox gRNA + amyloid.

Project description:In a genetic screen we identified that glial knockdown of small wing (sl) impacts engulfment of dying neurons. To understand the roles of glial sl further, we performed bulk transcriptomics. Here we extracted RNA from pooled Drosophila heads after sl knockdown using the repo-GAL4 driver and compared gene expression to an RNAi control.

Project description:Yorkshire pigs were divergently selected for residual feed intake (RFI) for 8 generations. Pigs with low RFI have reduced feed intake. Based on the resource allocation theory, we hypothesize that these low RFI pigs might have compromised immune response to immune stimulation. To test this hypothesis, twenty eight gilts of initial body weight (BW) of 63 4 kg from pigs selected for low RFI and high RFI were randomly selected for the ISU RFI selection project and utilized in two replicates (14 pigs/replicate) for this study. All pigs were housed in individual metabolism pens, had free access to water and were fed a corn-soy-based diet twice daily, and feed restricted (1.5 kg/day) as previously described. After a 9-day adaptation period pigs were randomly assigned within line to either a control (n = 6, three pigs per line) or lipopolysaccharide (LPS) challenge (n = 8, 4 pigs per line) group. Pigs in the challenge group were then repeatedly challenged with an intramuscular injection of 30, 36, 39, and 42 g/kg BW of LPS from E. coli O5:B5 (sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO) dissolved in saline solution at time points 0, 48, 96, and 144 hours post initial injection (hpi) to compensate for LPS tolerance after initial injection, respectively, while animals in the control group were injected with an equivalent volume of saline solution at the equivalent time points. Rectal temperatures of individual pigs were measured immediately before the initial injection (serving as baseline, called 0 hpi for convenience), and 2, 4, 6, and 24 hpi, and 0, 4, 24 hours after each subsequent injection for all pigs. Blood samples were collected from the jugular vein into TempusTM Blood RNA tubes (Life Technologies, Grand Island, NY) for long-term storage at -80 C, EDTA tubes (BD, Franklin Lakes, NJ) for CBC tests and serum tubes for cytokine assays at 0, 2, 6, 24 and 168 hpi. At 168 hpi, all pigs were euthanized via barbiturate overdose, exsanguinated and tissue samples including the longissimus dorsi muscle, liver, spleen, and ileum were isolated, cleaned an frozen for later use. This study only focused on samples and data collected for the first 24 hours. Total RNA was extracted from the 32 blood samples of the treatment group in Replicate 2, collected at 0, 2, 6, and 24 hpi, by using preserved blood RNA purification kit I (Norgen Biotek Corp, Thorold, Ontario) per manufacturers instruction. On-column DNA digestion was performed as described using DNase I (Qiagen, Valencia, CA). Globin transcripts (HBB and HBA) were depleted by following an RNase H-mediated method. The quantity and integrity of the RNA were monitored by using Nanodrop 2000 (Thermo Scientific, Waltham, MA) and Bioanalyzer 2100 (Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, CA) before and after globin depletion. The efficiency of globin depletion of each sample was checked by conventional RT-qPCR with -actin and GAPDH as the internal controls. Globin depletion efficiencies for all RNA samples were above 85%.

Project description:Broad-spectrum antibiotics are frequently prescribed to children. The period of early-childhood represents a time where the developing microbiota may be more sensitive to environmental perturbations, which thus might have long-lasting host consequences. We hypothesized that even a single early-life broad-spectrum antibiotic course at a therapeutic dose (PAT) leads to durable alterations in both the gut microbiota and host immunity. In C57BL/6 mice, a single early-life tylosin (macrolide) course markedly altered the intestinal microbiome, and affected specific intestinal T-cell populations and secretory IgA expression, but PAT-exposed adult dams had minimal immunologic alterations. No immunological effects were detected in PAT-exposed germ-free animals; indicating that microbiota are required for the observed activities. Together these results indicate the impact of a single therapeutic early-life antibiotic course altering the microbiota and modulating host immune phenotypes that persist long after exposure has ceased.

Project description:Here we asked whether the single early-life (pup day of life P5-P10) antibiotic pulse was sufficient to enhance Type-1 Diabetes (T1D) in Non Obese Diabetic (NOD) mice. Two sets of experimental samples were analyzed for changes in intestinal pathway expression using the NOD mouse model and Pulsed Antibiotic Therapy (PAT). NODPAT sought to describe the intestinal changes related to early life PAT treatment while the RESTORE experiment sought to restore an antibiotic-perturbed host and measure the intestinal expression changes over time. We provide evidence that maternal microbiota provides partial restoration of both the altered pup microbiota and its immunological phenotypes.

Project description:Background: Inducing apoptosis of autoreactive lymphocytes is part of the therapeutic strategy for Crohn’s disease (CD) patients. Failure to respond to medical therapies upon inflammatory bowel disease could result from insufficient apoptosis. To date there are no useful molecular factors for the prediction of clinical relapse. Study Aims: Characterization of the BCL-2 family-related risk of therapy resistance and verifying its usefulness as parameter for the prediction of clinical relapse could be helpful in deciding which medical therapy to recommend. The project is directly targeted to develop rapidly therapeutic improvement for patients with IBD. A long-term goal is the development of new therapeutic options for the treatment of IBD via a physiologic homeostasis and turnover of lymphocytes. Study Design: We propose to characterize the BCL-2 family-related risk of therapy resistance and its usefulness as parameter for the prediction of clinical relapse upon medical therapy. Samples will be used for next generation sequencing, qPCR, WB, immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence. The hypothesis is considered confirmed if expression of BCL-2 family members in human peripheral blood is significantly changed between patient groups and correlates with the number of lymphocyte subpopulations.

Project description:How allopolyploids are able not only to cope but profit from their condition is a question that remain elusive, but of great importance within the wide context of successful hybrid polyploid evolution. One outstanding example of successful allopolyploidy is the endemic Iberian S. alburnoides fish complex. Previously, based on the evaluation of 7 genes, it was reported that the transcription levels between diploid and triploid hybrid S. alburnoides were similar. If this phenomenon would occur on a full genomic scale, a wide functional diploidization could be related to the success of polyploids. We generated RNA-seq data from whole juvenile fish and from an adult tissue, to perform the first comparative quantitative transcriptomic analysis between ploidy levels of a vertebrate allopolyploid. We found 64% in juvenilesM-b full body samples and 44% in liver samples of similar expression between diploid and triploid hybrids, and those genes are mostly involved in processes of basal biological maintenance of the cells. Yet, respectively only 29% and 15% of transcripts presented accurate dosage compensation. Therefore, an exact functional diploidization of the triploid genome does not occur, but globally a significant down regulation of gene expression in triploids was observed. We find that for those genes which show similar expression levels in diploids and triploids, expression in triploids is not globally strictly proportional to gene dosage nor is it set to a perfect diploid level. This quantitative flexibility of expression may be a strong contributor to overcome the 'genomic shock', and be an immediate evolutionary advantage of allopolyploids. Genotypes: Squalius alburnoides is an allopolyploid cyprinid, resulting from interspecific hybridization between females of Squalius pyrenaicus (P genome) and males of a now extinct species related to Anaecypris hispanica (A genome). S. alburnoides natural populations arecomposed of animals of different ploidy levels and genomic constitutions (different genotypes). The predominant S. alburnoides complex intervenients in the Iberian Peninsula southern rivers are the hybrid triploid PAA, diploid PA, the parental-like diploid AA and the parental species S. pyrenaicus PP.
