Description
BEAS-2B cells have been treated with low doses (20g/ml) of CSC for 4 months. As negative control BEAS-2B cells were treated with DMSO (the CSC solvent). Non-treated cells were cultivated in parallel.

Description
The study seeks to identify the epigenetic changes caused by exposure of to cigarette smoke condensate. To this goal human bronchial epithelial cells, BEAS-2B, were treated with 5-aza-2deoxycitidine and trychostatin A (5AzaC/TSA) subsequent to a chronic exposure (1 month) to cigarette smoke condensate (CSC). As negative control served BEAS-2B cells that were untreated or treated with CSC/DMSO for one month without the subsequent application of 5Aza/TSA.

Description
Liver plays a profound role in the acute phase response (APR) observed in the early phase of acute bovine mastitis caused by Escherichia coli (E. coli). To gain an insight into the genes and pathways involved in hepatic APR of dairy cows we performed a global gene expression analysis of liver tissue sampled at different time points before and after intra-mammary (IM) exposure to E. coli lipopolysaccharide (LPS) treatment.

Description
Staphylococcus aureus causes a spectrum of human infection. Diagnostic delays and uncertainty lead to treatment delays and inappropriate antibiotic use. A growing literature suggests the hosts inflammatory response to the pathogen represents a potential tool to improve upon current diagnostics. The hypothesis of this study is that the host responds differently to S. aureus than to E. coli infection in a quantifiable way, providing a new diagnostic avenue. This study uses Bayesian sparse factor modeling and penalized binary regression to define peripheral blood gene-expression classifiers of murine and human S. aureus infection. The murine-derived classifier distinguished S. aureus infection from healthy controls and Escherichia coli-infected mice across a range of conditions (mouse and bacterial strain, time post infection) and was validated in outbred mice (AUC>0.97). A S. aureus classifier derived from a cohort of 95 human subjects distinguished S. aureus blood stream infection (BSI) from healthy subjects (AUC 0.99) and E. coli BSI (AUC 0.82). Murine and human responses to S. aureus infection share common biological pathways, allowing the murine model to classify S. aureus BSI in humans (AUC 0.84). Both murine and human S. aureus classifiers were validated in an independent human cohort (AUC 0.95 and 0.94, respectively). The approach described here lends insight into the conserved and disparate pathways utilized by mice and humans in response to these infections. Furthermore, this study advances our understanding of S. aureus infection; the host response to it; and identifies new diagnostic and therapeutic avenues.

Description
Recent observations about how cells sense amino acids have argued for preeminent roles of mTOR and the stress kinase GCN2 in allowing cells to estimate their amino acid needs. Here we used models of programmed immune microenvironments where helper T cells have to sense how much amino acids are available to engage in antigen-fueled proliferation. Contrary to current models, T cells activate mTOR in the competency phase of the cell cycle regardless of amino acid amounts, GCN2 or surface TCR. Instead, we found T cells use an amino acid sensing system to target IL-2-induced STAT5 phosphorylation at the restriction point of cell cycle commitment. mTOR activity is subsequently reduced and specifically connected to SREBP activation. T cells can be pushed into cycle by increasing IL-2 even when no amino acids are available. Collectively, our studies reveal helper T cells use sequential and distinct pathways to measure local amino acid concentrations.

Description
Integrins facilitate intercellular movement and communication. Unlike the promiscuous activities of many integrins, 6 integrin is restricted to epithelia and partners exclusively with integrin V to modulate acute lung injury (ALI). Given that ALI is a complication of respiratory infection, we used mice lacking 6 integrin (6 KO) to probe the role of the epithelial layer in controlling the lung microenvironment during infection. We found 6 KO mice were protected from disease caused by influenza and Sendai virus infections. They were also protected from disease caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae infection alone and after prior influenza virus infection, the co-infection representing an often-lethal condition in humans. Resistance in the absence of epithelial 6 integrin was caused by intrinsic priming of the lung microenvironment by type I interferons through a mechanism involving transforming growth factor- regulation. Expression of 6 on epithelia suppresses the production of interferons, providing an advantage to the pathogen. Acute inhibition of 6 function may therefore provide a means to improve outcomes in lung microbial infections.

Description
A total of 332 genes were identified which modified their expression in a dose-dependent manner upon exposure to doxycycline. The more represented cellular pathways included all mitochondrial genes, the endoplasmic reticulum stress response, integrins and extracellular matrix components, and growth factors. Overall design: Examination of 4 different doses of doxycycline in ten human pterygium samples.
