Project description:New antifungal drugs are urgently needed due to the currently limited selection, the emergence of drug resistance, and the toxicity of several commonly used drugs. To identify drug leads, we screened small molecules using a Saccharomyces reporter bioassay in which the yeast heterologously expresses Hik1, a group III hybrid histidine kinase (HHK) from Magnaporthe grisea. Group III HHKs are integral in fungal cell physiology, and highly conserved throughout this kingdom; they are absent in mammals, making them an attractive drug target. Our screen identified compounds 13 and 33, which showed robust activity against numerous fungal genera including Candida, Cryptococcus and molds such as Aspergillus and Rhizopus. Drug-resistant Candida from patients were also highly susceptible to compounds 13 and 33. While the compounds do not act directly on HHKs, microarray analysis showed that compound 13 induced transcripts associated with oxidative stress, and compound 33, transcripts linked with heavy metal stress. Both compounds were highly active against Candida biofilm, in vitro and in vivo, and exerted synergy with fluconazole, which was inactive alone. Thus, we identified potent, broad-spectrum antifungal drug leads from a small molecule screen using a high-throughput, yeast reporter bioassay. Two-color experimental design testing the effects of 2 antifungal compounds (13 and 33) after 0, 20, 40 60 min. In the referred publication, the t=20, 40, 60 data was normalized against the t=0 data

Project description:Pluripotent stem cells can be induced from somatic cells, providing an unlimited cell resource for regenerative medicine. However, genetic manipulation and difficult-to-manufacture strategies used in reprogramming limit their clinical applications. Here, we show pluripotency can be induced from mouse somatic cells by specific small-molecule compounds. The completely chemically-induced pluripotent stem cells (CiPSCs) can be stably maintained in embryonic stem cell (ESC) culture medium and resemble ESCs in terms of their gene expression profiles, epigenetic status, and potential for differentiation and germline transmission. These findings suggest that exogenous master genes are dispensable for cell fate reprogramming and pave the way for the clinical application of somatic reprogramming techniques. Chemicals' acronym: V, VPA; C, CHIR; 6, 616452; T, tranylcypromine; F, FSK; Z, DZNep; P, PGE2; R, RG108; S, SRT1720; M, 2-Me-5HT; D, D4476; B, Sodium butyrate. mRNA expression analysis of mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs), GFP- cells, GFP+ clusters,GFP+ colonies, embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and CiPSCs by RNA sequencing.

Project description:Little is known about the early transcriptional events in innate immune signaling in immature and tolerogenic monocyte-derived dendritic cells (DCs), the professional antigen-presenting cells of our immune system. TLR ligands usually induce a proinflammatory transcriptional response, whereas IL10 and/or dexamethasone induce a more tolerogenic phenotype. We used Affymetrix microarrays to obtain detailed information underlying pro- and anti-inflammatory transcriptional responsesand transcriptional networks in DCs

TLR ligands usually induce a proinflammatory transcriptional response, whereas IL10 and/or dexamethasone induce a more tolerogenic phenotype. We used Affymetrix microarrays to obtain detailed information underlying pro- and anti-inflammatory transcriptional responsesand transcriptional networks in DCs A pilot experiment was performed in which monocyte-derived DCs were either treated with TLR4 ligand LPS, or IL10 and dexamethason. Furthermore, IL10/dexamethason treated cells were also stimulated with LPS for an additional 6 hr. All samples were then subjected to global gene expression analysis using Affymetrix technology.
