Description
Background: It has been shown previously that administration of Francisella tularensis (Ft) LVS lipopolysaccharide (LPS) protects mice against subsequent challenge with Ft LVS and blunts the pro-inflammatory cytokine response.
Publication Title
Modulation of hepatic PPAR expression during Ft LVS LPS-induced protection from Francisella tularensis LVS infection.

Description
C57Bl/6 wild-type and STAT6 KO mice were used to study PPARg and IL-4 signaling. Bone marrow of 3 mice per group was isolated and differentiated to macrophages with M-CSF (20 ng/ml). 20 ng/ml IL-4 was used to induce alternative macrophage activation and 1 uM Rosiglitazone (RSG) was used to activate PPARg. From each mouse 4 samples were generated: 1. M-CSF, 2. M-CSF+RSG, 3. IL-4 and 4. IL-4+RSG. All compounds were added throughout the whole differentiation process, and frech media was added every other day. Control cells were treated with vehicle (DMSO:ethanol). After 10 days, RNA was isolated and gene expression profiles were analyzed using Mouse Genome 430 2.0 microarrays from Affymetrix.

Description
SMRT (silencing mediator of retinoid and thyroid hormone receptors) is recruited by numerous transcription factors to mediate lineage and signal dependent transcriptional repression. We generated a knock-in mutation in the receptor interaction domain (RID) of SMRT (SMRTmRID) that solely disrupts its interaction with nuclear hormone receptors. SMRTmRID-derived 3T3-MEFs display a dramatically increased adipogenic capacity and accelerated differentiation rate. We measured global gene expression in wild-type versus SMRTmRID-derived 3T3-MEFs in the undifferentiated state to examine which pathways were altered. Our results demonstrate that SMRT-RID dependent repression is a key determinant of the adipogenic set point.
Publication Title
SMRT repression of nuclear receptors controls the adipogenic set point and metabolic homeostasis.

Description
Endothelium in embryonic hematopoietic tissues generates hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells; however, it is unknown how its unique potential is specified. We show that transcription factor Scl/Tal1 is essential for both establishing the hematopoietic transcriptional program in hemogenic endothelium and preventing its misspecification to a cardiomyogenic fate. Scl-/- embryos activated a cardiac transcriptional program in yolk sac endothelium, leading to the emergence of CD31+Pdgfr+ cardiogenic precursors that generated spontaneously beating cardiomyocytes. Ectopic cardiogenesis was also observed in Scl-/- hearts, where the disorganized endocardium precociously differentiated into cardiomyocytes. Induction of mosaic deletion of Scl in Sclfl/flRosa26Cre-ERT2 embryos revealed a cell-intrinsic, temporal requirement for Scl to prevent cardiomyogenesis from endothelium. Scl-/- endothelium also upregulated the expression of Wnt antagonists, which promoted rapid cardiomyocyte differentiation of ectopic cardiogenic cells. These results reveal unexpected plasticity in embryonic endothelium such that loss of a single master regulator can induce ectopic cardiomyogenesis from endothelial cells.

Scl represses cardiomyogenesis in prospective hemogenic endothelium and endocardium.

Description
An important question for the use of the mouse as a model for studying human disease is the degree of functional conservation of genetic control pathways from human to mouse. The human placenta and mouse placenta show structural similarities but there has been no systematic attempt to assess their molecular similarities or differences. We built a comprehensive database of protein and microarray data for the highly vascular exchange region micro-dissected from the human and mouse placenta near-term. Abnormalities in this region are associated with two of the most common and serious complications of human pregnancy, maternal preeclampsia (PE) and fetal intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), each disorder affecting ~5% of all pregnancies.
Publication Title
Comparative systems biology of human and mouse as a tool to guide the modeling of human placental pathology.

Description
The TP53 transcription factor is frequently mutated at later stages of epithelial cancers, indicating a possible role in their invasion and metastasis. Importantly, in most cases rather than a simple loss of function p53 mutation, point mutations of p53 accumulate at the protein level and may have dominant negative functions. This study analyses gene expression differences between mice harbouring p53 mutation who do and do not develop metastasis.
Publication Title
Targeting the LOX/hypoxia axis reverses many of the features that make pancreatic cancer deadly: inhibition of LOX abrogates metastasis and enhances drug efficacy.

Description
miR-92 enhances c-Myc induced apoptosis. In the R26MER/MER mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs), a switchable variant of Myc, MycERT2, was knocked into the genomic region downstream of the constitutive Rosa26 promoter, allowing acute activation of c-Myc by 4-OHT-induced nuclear translocation. This in vitro system nicely recapitulates c-Myc-induced apoptosis, as activated MycERT2 induces strong p53-dependent apoptosis in response to serum starvation. Enforced miR-92 expression in three independent R26MER/MER MEF lines significantly enhanced Myc-induced apoptosis.
Publication Title
A component of the mir-17-92 polycistronic oncomir promotes oncogene-dependent apoptosis.
