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.

  • 4-6 Weeks Old Female C57BL/6 Mice Obtained from Jackson Labs Were Used for Cell Isolation
    Methods Mice: 4-6 weeks old female C57BL/6 mice obtained from Jackson labs were used for cell isolation. Female Foxp3-IRES-GFP reporter mice (1), backcrossed to B6/C57 background for 10 generations, were used for the isolation of naïve CD4 and naïve CD8 cells for the RNAseq experiments. The mice were housed in pathogen-free animal facility in the La Jolla Institute for Allergy and Immunology and were used according to protocols approved by the Institutional Animal Care and use Committee. Preparation of cells: Subsets of thymocytes were isolated by cell sorting as previously described (2), after cell surface staining using CD4 (GK1.5), CD8 (53-6.7), CD3ε (145- 2C11), CD24 (M1/69) (all from Biolegend). DP cells: CD4+CD8 int/hi; CD4 SP cells: CD4CD3 hi, CD24 int/lo; CD8 SP cells: CD8 int/hi CD4 CD3 hi, CD24 int/lo (Fig S2). Peripheral subsets were isolated after pooling spleen and lymph nodes. T cells were enriched by negative isolation using Dynabeads (Dynabeads untouched mouse T cells, 11413D, Invitrogen). After surface staining for CD4 (GK1.5), CD8 (53-6.7), CD62L (MEL-14), CD25 (PC61) and CD44 (IM7), naïve CD4+CD62L hiCD25-CD44lo and naïve CD8+CD62L hiCD25-CD44lo were obtained by sorting (BD FACS Aria). Additionally, for the RNAseq experiments, CD4 and CD8 naïve cells were isolated by sorting T cells from the Foxp3- IRES-GFP mice: CD4+CD62LhiCD25–CD44lo GFP(FOXP3)– and CD8+CD62LhiCD25– CD44lo GFP(FOXP3)– (antibodies were from Biolegend). In some cases, naïve CD4 cells were cultured in vitro under Th1 or Th2 polarizing conditions (3, 4).

In vivo, LV-10 cells do not cause graft-versus-host disease while mediating graft-versus-leukemia effect against adult acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Since pediatric AML (pAML) and adult AML are different on a genetic and epigenetic level, we investigate herein whether LV-10 cells also efficiently kill pAML cells. We show that the majority of primary pAML are killed by LV-10 cells, with different levels of sensitivity to killing. Transcriptionally, pAML sensitive to LV-10 killing expressed a myeloid maturation signature.

  • Structure of the Archaeal Head-Tailed Virus HSTV-1 Completes the HK97 Fold Story

Butcherb,1 aDepartment of Biosciences and bInstitute of Biotechnology, University of Helsinki, FI-00014, Helsinki, Finland; and cDepartment of Biological Sciences, Pittsburgh Bacteriophage Institute, University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, PA 15260 Edited by Michael G. Rossmann, Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN, and approved May 13, 2013 (received for review March 16, 2013) It has been proposed that viruses can be divided into a small number particles are most likely nanocompartments for enzyme storage, of structure-based viral lineages. One of these lineages is exemplified not viruses because they contain no nucleic acids (24, 25). by bacterial virus Hong Kong 97 (HK97), which represents the head- To date, only approximately 30 high-resolution protein struc- tailed dsDNA bacteriophages. Seemingly similar viruses also infect tures from archaeal viruses have been determined, and only 5 are archaea. Here we demonstrate using genomic analysis, electron MCPs. However, none come from head-tailed viruses (26). All cryomicroscopy, and image reconstruction that the major coat protein known archaeal head-tailed viruses infect either extreme halophiles fold of newly isolated archaeal Haloarcula sinaiiensis tailed virus 1 or anaerobic methanogens belonging to the phylum Euryarchaeota has the canonical coat protein fold of HK97. Although it has been (20). Here we set out to screen a previously isolated group of anticipated previously, this is physical evidence that bacterial and haloarchaeal head-tailed viruses (19) to find a suitable candidate archaeal head-tailed viruses share a common architectural principle.
