Project description:The aim of the study was to investigate whether the trefoil peptide genes, in concerted action with a miRNA regulatory network, were contributing to nutritional maintrenance. Using a Tff2 knock-out mouse model, 48 specific miRNAs were noted to be significantly deregulated when compared to the wild type strain.

Project description:Hemagglutinin of the influenza virus is the main external glycoprotein. This very immunogenic protein is the target of the most anti-influenza vaccines. DNA vaccines are new alternative to conventional inactivated ones. Four DNA vaccines were tested. Each tested variant was based on the pCI vector with nucleotide sequence encoding hemagglutinin from A/swan/Poland/305-135V08/2006 (H5N1, clade 2.2). In K3/pCI, GK/pCI and HAneo/pCI the different optimization algorithms of hemagglutinin encoding sequence without amino acids change were tested. In 3NF/pCI the NFkappaB binding sites flanking the expression cassette were included in order to improve the nuclear transfer. Comparative transcriptome analysis of mice vaccinated the following vaccine HAneo/pCI,K3/pCI, GK/pCI or 3NF/pCI versus empty vector demonstrated minor changes in genes expression pattern. Most genes were expressed on the similar level in the vaccinated individuals and in the control mice. Small number of genes in particular variants showed the expression different than in the control mice. In general, the identified genes with the changed expression included some genes involved in metabolic processes and none of them seem to induce any undesirable pathways nor disease.

Project description:Introgressed variants from other species can be an important source of genetic variation because they may arise rapidly, can include multiple mutations on a single haplotype, and have often been pretested by selection in the species of origin. Although introgressed alleles are generally deleterious, several studies have reported introgression as the source of adaptive alleles-including the rodenticide-resistant variant of Vkorc1 that introgressed from Mus spretus into European populations of Mus musculus domesticus. Here, we conducted bidirectional genome scans to characterize introgressed regions into one wild population of M. spretus from Spain and three wild populations of M. m. domesticus from France, Germany, and Iran. Despite the fact that these species show considerable intrinsic postzygotic reproductive isolation, introgression was observed in all individuals, including in the M. musculus reference genome (GRCm38). Mus spretus individuals had a greater proportion of introgression compared with M. m. domesticus, and within M. m. domesticus, the proportion of introgression decreased with geographic distance from the area of sympatry. Introgression was observed on all autosomes for both species, but not on the X-chromosome in M. m. domesticus, consistent with known X-linked hybrid sterility and inviability genes that have been mapped to the M. spretus X-chromosome. Tract lengths were generally short with a few outliers of up to 2.7 Mb. Interestingly, the longest introgressed tracts were in olfactory receptor regions, and introgressed tracts were significantly enriched for olfactory receptor genes in both species, suggesting that introgression may be a source of functional novelty even between species with high barriers to gene flow.

Project description:BTLA agonist attenuates Th17 inflammation in a mouse model of steroid-resistant asthma
| PRJNA1197973 | ENA
Project description:Asthma is the most common chronic respiratory disease. Asthma that cannot be well controlled by steroid treatment is called steroid-resistant asthma. Steroid-resistant asthma accounts for only 5% of all asthma cases, but it accounts for 80% of asthma healthcare costs. Nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae (NTHi), as a Gram-negative bacterium, can release outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) and transfer biomolecules to host cells and the external environment by carrying lipopolysaccharides, proteins, peptidoglycans, outer membrane proteins, cell wall components, proteins, nucleic acids, ion metabolites, and signaling molecules. Thus, it plays a role in obtaining nutrition, stress, toxin delivery, adhesion, host immune surveillance evasion, and host immune response regulation. It becomes an essential way in bacterial pathogenesis. To further clarify whether NTHi OMVs could be inhaled to induce steroid-resistant asthma, we isolated and purified NTHi OMVs. In vivo experiments showed that NTHi OMVs could be inhaled and enter airway epithelial cells. Cosensitization with OVA induces steroid-resistant asthma in mice. Furthermore, through high-throughput sequencing, we found that the NTHi OMVs and OVA co-sensitized mice had significantly enriched inflammatory and immune-related signaling pathways, and the transcription and secretion of IL-1β were increased was the potential cause of SRA.

Project description:The heterogeneity of asthma has prompted attempts at classifications based on clinical phenotypes and cluster designations. Although helpful, reliance on clinical parameters fails to address fundamental issues resulting in specific phenotypes, in particular, steroid-resistant (SR) asthma. Limited data are available defining the mechanisms or pathways (endotypes) causing the failure of inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) in SR asthmatics. Unlike CD4+ T cells, both human and mouse CD8+ T cells fail to undergo apoptosis in the presence of corticosteroids (CS) positioning them as unique effector cells. Whole transcriptome analyses of peripheral CD8+ T cells from steroid-sensitive or steroid-resistant asthmatics or healthy controls on days 0 and 8 were performed.

Project description:Translational research is commonly performed in the C57B6/J mouse strain, chosen for its genetic homogeneity and phenotypic uniformity. Here, we evaluate the suitability of the white-footed deer mouse (Peromyscus leucopus) as a model organism for aging research, offering a comparative analysis against C57B6/J and diversity outbred (DO) Mus musculus strains. Our study includes comparisons of body composition, skeletal muscle function, and cardiovascular parameters, shedding light on potential applications and limitations of P. leucopus in aging studies. Notably, P. leucopus exhibits distinct body composition characteristics, emphasizing reduced muscle force exertion and a unique metabolism, particularly in fat mass. Cardiovascular assessments showed changes in arterial stiffness, challenging conventional assumptions and highlighting the need for a nuanced interpretation of aging-related phenotypes. Our study also highlights inherent challenges associated with maintaining and phenotyping P. leucopus cohorts. Behavioral considerations, including anxiety-induced responses during handling and phenotyping assessment, pose obstacles in acquiring meaningful data. Moreover, the unique anatomy of P. leucopus necessitates careful adaptation of protocols designed for Mus musculus. While showcasing potential benefits, further extensive analyses across broader age ranges and larger cohorts are necessary to establish the reliability of P. leucopus as a robust and translatable model for aging studies.
