    Type I Interferons and the Development of Impaired Vascular Function and Repair in Human and Murine Lupus by Seth G Thacker A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Immunology) in The University of Michigan 2011 Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Mariana J. Kaplan, Chair Professor David A. Fox Professor Alisa E. Koch Professor Matthias Kretzler Professor Nicholas W. Lukacs Associate Professor Daniel T. Eitzman © Seth G Thacker 2011 Sharon, this work is dedicated to you. This achievement is as much yours as it is mine. Your support through all six years of this Ph.D. process has been incredible. You put up with my countless miscalculations on when I would finish experiments, and still managed to make me and our kids feel loved and special. Without you this would have no meaning. Sharon, you are the safe harbor in my life. ii Acknowledgments I have been exceptionally fortunate in my time here at the University of Michigan. I have been able to interact with so many supportive people over the years. I would like to express my thanks and admiration for my mentor. Mariana has taught me so much about writing, experimental design and being a successful scientist in general. I could never have made it here without her help. I would also like to thank Mike Denny. He had a hand in the beginning of all of my projects in one way or another, and was always quick and eager to help in whatever way he could. He really made my first year in the lab successful.

Onset of antiviral and inflammatory responses to viral pathogens necessitates the regulated spatiotemporal recruitment of signaling adapters, kinases and transcriptional proteins to the mitochondrial antiviral signaling protein (MAVS). We previously demonstrated that the serine/threonine kinase IKKε is recruited to the C-terminal region of MAVS following Sendai or vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) infection, mediated by Lys63-linked polyubiquitination of MAVS at Lys500, resulting in inhibition of downstream IFN signaling (Paz et al, Mol Cell Biol, 2009). In this study, we demonstrate that C-terminus of MAVS harbors a novel TRAF3-binding site in the aa450- 468 region of MAVS.

We utilized an informatics-based approach to develop a transcriptional signature of β-cell GA stress using existing RNA sequencing and microarray datasets generated using human islets from donors with diabetes and islets where type 1(T1D) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) had been modeled ex vivo. To narrow our results to GA-specific genes, we applied a filter set of 1,030 genes accepted as GA associated.

Mice lacking p63 exhibit severe developmental defects such as limb truncations, abnormal skin, and absence of hair follicles, teeth, and mammary glands. Germline missense mutations of p63 have been shown to be responsible for several human developmental syndromes including SHFM, EEC and ADULT syndromes and are associated with anomalies in the development of organs of epithelial origin.
