Project description:To explore the biological changes of keratinocytes in condyloma acuminata (CA) warts, we performed mRNA and lncRNA expression profiling of keratinocytes from normal skins and warts of condyloma acuminata patients to compare the gene expression.

Project description:To systematically understand how the circadian clock and the nutrient-driven rhythm integrate to regulate SREBP1 activity, we evaluated genome-wide the binding of SREBP1 to its targets along the day in wild-type (WT) C57BL/6mice. The recruitment of SREBP1 to the DNA showed a highly circadian behaviour, with a maximum during the fed status. However, the temporal expression of SREBP1 targets was not always synchronized with its binding. In particular, a different phase of expression was observed for SREBP1 target genes depending on their function, suggesting the involvement of other transcription factors in their regulation. The proper temporal expression pattern of these genes was dramatically changed in Bmal1KO mice upon time-restricted feeding, in spite of the rhythmic, although slightly delayed, binding of SREBP1. Our results show that besides the nutrient-driven regulation of SREBP1 nuclear translocation, a second layer of modulation of SREBP1 transcriptional activity exists and is strongly dependent from the circadian core clock. This system allows to fine tune the expression timing of SREBP1 target genes, thus helping to temporally separate the different physiological processes in which these genes are involved. 6 samples examined, 6 SREBP1 samples, as well as 6 Polr2b and 6 input samples from GEO series GSE35788 CycliX Consortium was a contributor to this submission.
Project description:The physiology and cellular mechanisms of the dinoflagellate symbionts of cnidarians, the Symbiodiniaceae, change as a response to symbiosis, nutrient availability, and their surrounding microhabitat, but the underlying processes are poorly understood. Here, we employed liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry-based proteomics to elucidate the changes associated with the symbiotic and nutritional states of Breviolum minutum, a native symbiont of the sea anemone Exaiptasia diaphana. Both symbiosis and nutritional state had significant impacts on the B. minutum proteome. B. minutum in hospite showed increased abundance of proteins that are involved in phosphoinositol manipulation (e.g., glycerophosphoinositol permease 1 and phosphatidylinositol phosphatase), potentially as a means of interpartner signalling to prevent host phagosomal maturation. Proteins involved in carbon concentration and fixation (e.g. carbonic anhydrase, V-type ATPase) and nitrogen assimilation (e.g. glutamine synthase) were upregulated in ex hospite B. minutum, possibly due to nitrogen limitation by host in hospite and a lack of host carbon concentration mechanisms when ex hospite, respectively. Photosystem proteins increased in abundance at high nutrient levels, as were proteins involved in antioxidant mechanisms (e.g. superoxide dismutase, glutathione s-transferase). Proteins involved in iron metabolism was also affected by nutrient state, indicating increased iron demand and uptake in low nutrient treatments. These results provide better insight on the cellular mechanisms of symbiosis and provides potential target pathways for investigating a functional cnidarian-dinoflagellate symbiosis.
Project description:Immune tolerance is involved physiologically in pregnancy and disrupted in autoimmunity, organ rejection, and graft-versus-host disease (GvHD). In transplantation setting, operational tolerance has been inferred in patients who develop tolerance without a need for immunosuppressants. However, mechanisms underlying operational tolerance in Humans are poorly understood. Using two cohorts of patients who underwent an allo-HSCT from HLA-identical siblings, we used multi-omics approach to decipher immune landscape associated with tolerance in recipients and their related donors. We analyzed two cohorts of patients, one monocentric from Saint Louis hospital (cohort 1, n=41) and one multicenric from the national Cryostem consortium biological collection (cohort 2, n=69). We proceed to deep immunophenotyping of peripheral blood mononuclear cell using mass cytometry, RNA sequencing analysis and metabolomics profiling of plasma in both recipients and related donors. The aim of this study is to determine the evolution of immune landscape after allogeneic HSCT by comparison with healthy donors, and to identify specific biological mechanism associated with immune tolerance in patients.
