Description
Equine herpesvirus 1 (EHV-1) is the causative agent of a number of equine pathological states, including severe disease of the central nervous system, respiratory infections, and abortion storms. Our results showed that intranasal immunization with CpG-B oligodeoxynucleotides (ODN) protects CBA mice from lethal EHV-1 challenge. IFN-γ and seven interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs) were upregulated 39.4- to 260.3-fold at 8 h postchallenge in the lungs of RacL11-challenged mice that had been immunized with CpG-B ODN. Treatment with 20 ng/ml of IFN-γ reduced EHV-1 yield by 100-fold in MH-S at 4 days post-VZV infection compared to that of untreated cells. However, IFN-γ reduced virus yield by only 2-fold in and mouse fibroblast L-M cells. To identify IFN-γ-stimulated genes that inhibit EHV-1 replication, Affymetrix microarray analyses were performed with IFN-γ-treated MH-S and L-M cells. In MH-S cells, IFN-γ upregulated 551 genes and down-regulated 136 genes as compared to those of untreated cells. In L-M cells, IFN-γ upregulated 225 genes and downregulated 2 genes. Nine genes associated with innate immune response were significantly upregulated only in MH-S cells. Five antiviral ISGs MX1, SAMHD1, NAMPT, TREX1, and DDX60 were upregulated 3.2- to 18.1-fold only in MH-S cells. These results suggest that CpG-B ODN may be used as a prophylactic agent in horses.

Description
MicroRNA regulates protein expression of cells by repressing translation of specific target messenger transcripts. Loss of the neuron specific microRNA miR-128 in Dopamine D1-receptor expressing neurons in the murine striatum (D1-MSNs) lead to increased neuronal excitability, locomotor hyperactivity and fatal epilepsy.

Description
Mammalian microRNAs (miRNAs) are emerging as key regulators of the development and function of the immune system. Here, we report a strong but transient induction of miR-155 in mouse bone marrow after injection of bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) correlated with granulocyte/monocyte (GM) expansion. Demonstrating the sufficiency of miR-155 to drive GM expansion, enforced expression in mouse bone marrow cells caused GM proliferation in a manner reminiscent of LPS treatment. However, the mir-155-induced GM populations displayed pathological features characteristic of myeloid neoplasia. Extending possible relevance to human disease, miR-155 was overexpressed in the bone marrow of patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Furthermore, miR-155 repressed a subset of genes implicated in hematopoietic development and disease. These data implicate miR-155 as a contributor to physiological GM expansion during inflammation and to certain pathological features associated with AML, emphasizing the importance of proper miR-155 regulation in developing myeloid cells during times of inflammatory stress.

Description
Polymorphisms in the interleukin-4 receptor chain (IL-4R) have been linked to asthma incidence and severity, but a causal relationship has remained uncertain. In particular, a glutamine to arginine substitution at position 576 (Q576R) of IL-4R has been associated with severe asthma, especially in African Americans. We show that mice carrying the Q576R polymorphism exhibited intense allergen-induced airway inflammation and remodeling. The Q576R polymorphism did not affect proximal signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) 6 activation, but synergized with STAT6 in a gene target and tissue-specific manner to mediate heightened expression of a subset of IL-4 and IL-13responsive genes involved in allergic inflammation. Our findings indicate that the Q576R polymorphism directly promotes asthma in carrier populations by selectively augmenting IL-4Rdependent signaling.
