Project description:Dataset of QSM exposure experiments with Myxococcus xanthus and Cystobacter ferrugineus exposed to a panel of acylhomoserine lactones and the quinolone signal HHQ
Project description:Here, in this study we systematically examined the patterns of DNA methylation and hydroxy-methylation with its functional implications in gene regulation for the cultured TK6 lymphoblastoid cells upon exposure to micro-gravity conditions. theThe results reported here indicate that simulated microgravity alters methylation patterns in a limited way and subsequently the expression of genes involved in stress response like ATF3, FBXO17, MAP3K13 and VCL in TK6 cells.

Project description:We investigated hepatic mRNA profiles of female mice exposed to 0.162 mg Printex 90 carbon black nanoparticles by single intra-tracheal instillation. We examined responses to this dose 1, 3 and 28 days after exposure, alongside respective controls. We show that genes part of the 3-hydroxy-3-methyl-glutaryl-CoA reductase pathway to be up-regulated by exposure to Printex 90.
Project description:Adult myelination is recognized as essential for brain function and response to injury and yet, its molecular understanding is mostly inferred from developmental studies. In this study, we identify DNA hydroxy-methylation, an epigenetic mark catalyzed by Ten-Eleven translocation (TET) enzymes, as necessary for adult, but not for developmental, myelin formation. While hydroxy-methylation and high levels of TET1 were detected in young adult mice during myelin regeneration after lysolecithin-induced demyelination, this process was defective in older mice. Lineage specific ablation of the enzyme Tet1 (but not of Tet2) recapitulated the age-related decline of TET1 and inefficient remyelination, without impacting developmental myelination. Genome-wide DNA hydroxy-methylation profiling of adult progenitors and mature oligodendrocytes, identified solute carriers regulating neuronal-glial communication as gene targets, whose expression was dramatically decreased in mutants and in older mice. We conclude that TET1-mediated hydroxy-methylation is critical for adult myelination in response to injury.
