Description
Bacterial genotoxins, produced by several Gram-negative bacteria, induce DNA damage in the target cells. While the responses induced in the host cells have been extensively studied in vitro, the role of the genotoxins as effectors during the course of acute and chronic infections remains poorly characterized.To address this issue, we assessed the effects of the Salmonella enterica genotoxin, known as typhoid toxin, in in vivo models of murine chronic infections. Immunocompetent mice were chronically infected with isogenic S. enterica, serovar Typhimurium (S. Typhimurium) strains, encoding either a functional (MC71-TT) or an inactive (MC71-DcdtB) typhoid toxin.

Description
Hippo signalling has been implicated as a key regulator of tissue regeneration. In the intestine, ex vivo organoid cultures model aspects of crypt epithelial regeneration. Therefore in order to uncover the Yap regulated transcriptional programs during crypt regeneration we performed RNA-sequencing of Yap wt and Yap deficient organoids, as well as organoids inducibly expressing Yap. Overall design: Yap loss of function organoids were harvested from Yapfl/fl;VillinCre mice (Yap-/-). In addition, we developed Yap overexpressing organoids by generating a doxycycline-inducible wild-type Yap transgenic line under the control of a Cre driven reverse tetracycline transactivator (rtTA), referred to here as YapTg. Organoids were seeded on day 0 from whole crypts isolated from Yap+/D, YapD/D, YapTg mice and cultured for 24 hours at which time they were harvested for transcriptome analysis by RNAseq.

Description
Myelination is essential for nervous system function. Schwann cells interact with neurons and with the basal lamina to sort and myelinate axons, using known receptors and signaling pathways. In contrast, the transcriptional control of axonal sorting and the role of mechano-transduction in myelination are largely unknown. Yap and Taz are effectors of the Hippo pathway that integrate chemical and mechanical signals in cells. Here, we describe a previously unknown role for the Hippo pathway in myelination. Using conditional mutagenesis in mice we show that Taz is required in Schwann cells for radial sorting and myelination. Yap is redundant with Taz as ablation of both Yap and Taz abolishes radial sorting. Yap/Taz regulate Schwann cell proliferation and transcription of basal lamina receptors, both necessary for proper radial sorting of axons, and subsequent myelination. These data link transcriptional effectors of the Hippo pathway and of mechanotransduction to myelin formation in Schwann cells. Overall design: 3 cKO and 3 control wild-type mice

Description
Decreased mitochondrial mass and function in muscle of diabetic patients is associated with low PGC-1alpha, a transcriptional coactivator of the mitochondrial gene program. To investigate whether reduced PGC-1alpha and oxidative capacity in muscle directly contributes to age-related glucose intolerance, we compared the genetic signatures and metabolic profiles of aging mice lacking muscle PGC-1alpha. Microarray analysis revealed that a significant proportion of PGC-1alpha-dependent changes in gene expression overlapped with age-associated effects, and aging muscle and muscle lacking PGC-1alpha shared gene signatures of impaired electron transport chain activity and TGFbeta signalling.

Description
Gene regulatory networks that govern hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) and leukemiainitiating cells (L-IC) are deeply entangled. Thus, the discovery of compounds that target L-IC while sparing HSC is an attractive but difficult endeavor. Presently, most drug discovery approaches fail to counter-screen compounds against normal hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPC) to assess therapeutic index. Here, we present a combined in vitro and in vivo strategy to identify compounds specific to L-IC in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). A high-throughput screen of 4000 compounds on novel leukemia cell lines derived from human experimental leukemogenesis models yielded 80 hits, of which most were toxic to normal HSPC. Of the 10 compounds that passed this initial filter, we chose to characterize a single compound, kinetic riboside (KR), on AML L-IC and HSPC. KR demonstrated comparable efficacy to standard therapies against 63 primary AMLs. In vitro, KR effectively targeted the L-IC-enriched CD34+CD38- AML fraction, while sparing normal HSPC enriched fractions, although these effects were mitigated on HSC assayed in vivo, and highlights the importance of in vivo L-IC and HSC assays to measure function. Overall, we provide a novel approach to screen large drug libraries for the discovery of anti-L-IC compounds for human leukemias.

Description
The weekly turnover of the intestinal epithelium is driven by multipotent, Lgr5+, crypt base columnar cells (CBCs). In response to injury, however, Lgr5+ cells are lost but then re-emerge and are required for successful recovery. How these resurgent Lgr5+ stem cells arise is unclear. We transcriptionally profiled single cells from regenerating intestinal epithelia and identified a unique cell type we term the revival stem cell (rSC). rSCs are mutually exclusive to CBCs and are distinguished by elevated expression of cell survival and DNA repair genes. In homeostasis, rSCs are extremely rare, but nevertheless give rise to all the major cell types of the intestine including crypt-villus axes. After damage rSCs display a 20-fold, Yap-dependent, transient expansion, reconstitute the Lgr5+ CBC compartment and are required to regenerate a functional intestine. These studies define a unique stem cell phenotype that is mobilized by damage to reconstitute the intestinal epithelium. Overall design: Examination of regenerating mouse intestinal epithelium.
