Description
The purpose of this study was to analyze the genomic signatures and profiles of skin from ichthyosis (various subtypes) vs. healthy patients. The analysis strategy was to study differentially expressed genes common to the ichthyosis shared phenotype, as well as individual ichthyosis subtypes, and compare and contrast to the genomic profiles of atopic dermatitis and psoriasis.

Description
p65-/-Ras cells show delayed tumor formation in SCID mice. However, after prolonged latency, tumor formation was observed from these mice. To understand the changes of NF-kB regulated genes before and after tumor formation, RNA from p65+/+Ras, p65+/+RasTumor, p65-/-Ras, p65-/-RasTumor cells were isolated and microarray were performed.

Description
The development of the epidermis, a stratified squamous epithelium, is dependent on the regulated differentiation of keratinocytes. Differentiation begins with the initiation of stratification, a process tightly controlled through proper gene expression. AP-2 is expressed in skin and previous research suggested a pathway where p63 gene induction results in increased expression of AP-2 which in turn is responsible for induction of K14. This study uses a conditional gene ablation model to further explore the role of AP-2 in skin development. Mice deficient for AP-2 exhibited delayed expression of p63, K14, and K1, key genes required for development and differentiation of the epidermis. In addition, microarray analysis of E16.5 skin revealed delayed expression of additional late epidermal differentiation genes: filaggrin, repetin and secreted Ly6/Plaur domain containing 1, in mutant mice. The genetic delay in skin development was further confirmed by a functional delay in the formation of an epidermal barrier. These results document an important role for AP-2 in skin development, and reveal the existence of regulatory factors that can compensate for AP-2 in its absence.

Description
Zebrafish of two different age groups (12 and 36 months) were treated with low amounts of rotenone (mild stress) and compared to untreated zebrafish. Two different durations were used (3 and 8 weeks). Illumina sequencing (HiSeq2000) was applied to generate 50bp single-end reads. Jena Centre for Systems Biology of Ageing - JenAge (www.jenage.de) Overall design: 68 sample: 3 tissues (brain, liver, skin); 2 age groups (12 and 36 months); controls and rotenone treated samples; 2-6 biological replicates for each group

Description
The goal of this project was to characterize DCs from lymphopenic mice, like RAG (recombination activated gene) deficient mice and to examine the influence of mature B and T cells on the antigen presenting ability of splenic cDCs. We demonstrate how cellular cross-talk can shape the character and function of cDCs. Lymphopenic conditions, where splenic cDCs have to develop and differentiate, drastically change their character and their ability to cross-present soluble antigen.

Description
DREAM (downstream regulatory element antagonist modulator) is a Ca2+-binding protein that binds DNA and represses transcription in a Ca2+-dependent manner. Previous studies have shown a role for DREAM in cerebellar function regulating the expression of the sodium/calcium exchanger3 (NCX3) in cerebellar granules to control Ca2+ homeostasis and survival of these neurons. To achieve a more global view of the genes regulated by DREAM in the cerebellum, we performed a genome-wide analysis in transgenic cerebellum expressing a Ca2+-insensitive/CREB-independent dominant active mutant DREAM (daDREAM). Our results indicate that DREAM is a major transcription factor in the cerebellum that regulates genes important for cerebellar development.

Description
Unlike human hearts, zebrafish hearts efficiently regenerate after injury. Regeneration is driven by the strong proliferation response of its cardiomyocytes to injury. In this study, we show that active telomerase is required for cardiomyocyte proliferation and full organ recovery, supporting the potential of telomerase therapy as a means of stimulating cell proliferation upon myocardial infarction. Overall design: Heart transcriptomes of WT and telomerase defective adult zebrafish animals were profiled by RNASeq, in control conditions and 3 days after heart cryoinjury.

Description
Deregulated intracellular Ca2+ homeostasis underlies synaptic dysfunction and is a common feature in neurodegenerative processes, including Huntington's disease (HD). DREAM/calsenilin/KChIP-3 is a multifunctional Ca2+ binding protein that controls the expression level and/or the activity of several proteins related to Ca2+ homeostasis, neuronal excitability and neuronal survival. We found that expression of endogenous DREAM (DRE antagonist modulator) is reduced in the striatum of R6 mice, in STHdh-Q111/111 knock in striatal neurons and in HD patients. DREAM down regulation in R6 striatum occurs early after birth, well before the onset of motor coordination impairment, and could be part of an endogenous mechanism of neuroprotection, since i) R6/2 mice hemizygous for the DREAM gene (R6/2xDREAM+/-) showed delayed onset of locomotor impairment and prolonged lifespan, ii) motor impairment after chronic administration of 3-NPA was reduced in DREAM knockout mice and enhanced in daDREAM transgenic mice and, iii) lentiviral-mediated DREAM expression in STHdh-Q111/111 knock in cells sensitizes them to oxidative stress. Transcriptomic analysis showed that changes in gene expression in R6/2 striatum were notably reduced in R6/2xDREAM+/- striatum. Chronic administration of repaglinide, a molecule able to bind to DREAM in vitro and to accelerate its clearance in vivo, delayed the onset of motor dysfunction, reduced striatal loss and prolonged the lifespan in R6/2 mice. Furthermore, exposure to repaglinide protected STHdh-Q111/111 knock in striatal neurons sensitized to oxidative stress by lentiviral-mediated DREAM overexpression. Thus, genetic and pharmacological evidences disclose a role for DREAM silencing in early neuroprotective mechanisms in HD.
