    Abstract Introduction: Atopic dermatitis (AD) is an allergic skin disease mediated by skin barrier impairment and IL-13-driven immune response. Activation of the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) has shown promise in early clinical trials for AD; however, the mechanism by which AHR partially ameliorates AD is not well known.
    Methods: Gene expression data from human biopsies were analyzed, and compared to gene expression from RNA-sequencing in our
    Results: The AHR target gene
    Discussion: Together, these data suggest that the AHR pathway is dysregulated in AD and that AHR modulates IL-13 downstream signaling in keratinocytes through genome-wide, transcriptional regulatory effects.

    Abstract Sleep is an evolutionarily conserved process that has been described in different animal systems. For insects, sleep characterization has been primarily achieved using behavioral and electrophysiological correlates in a few systems. Sleep in mosquitoes, which are important vectors of disease-causing pathogens, has not been directly examined. This is surprising as circadian rhythms, which have been well studied in mosquitoes, influence sleep in other systems. In this study, we characterized sleep in mosquitoes using body posture analysis and behavioral correlates, and quantified the effect of sleep deprivation on sleep rebound, host landing and blood-feeding propensity. Body and appendage position metrics revealed a clear distinction between the posture of mosquitoes in their putative sleep and awake states for multiple species, which correlated with a reduction in responsiveness to host cues. Sleep assessment informed by these posture analyses indicated significantly more sleep during periods of low activity. Night-time and daytime sleep deprivation resulting from the delivery of vibration stimuli induced sleep rebound in the subsequent phase in day and night active mosquitoes, respectively. Lastly, sleep deprivation suppressed host landing in both laboratory and field settings, and impaired blood feeding of a human host when mosquitoes would normally be active. These results suggest that quantifiable sleep states occur in mosquitoes and highlight the potential epidemiological importance of mosquito sleep.

    Abstract Noncoding genetic variation drives phenotypic diversity, but underlying mechanisms and affected cell types are incompletely understood. Here, investigation of effects of natural genetic variation on the epigenomes and transcriptomes of Kupffer cells derived from inbred mouse strains identified strain-specific environmental factors influencing Kupffer cell phenotypes, including leptin signaling in Kupffer cells from a steatohepatitis-resistant strain. Cell-autonomous and non-cell-autonomous effects of genetic variation were resolved by analysis of F1 hybrid mice and cells engrafted into an immunodeficient host. During homeostasis, non-cell-autonomous trans effects of genetic variation dominated control of Kupffer cells, while strain-specific responses to acute lipopolysaccharide injection were dominated by actions of cis-acting effects modifying response elements for lineage-determining and signal-dependent transcription factors. These findings demonstrate that epigenetic landscapes report on trans effects of genetic variation and serve as a resource for deeper analyses into genetic control of transcription in Kupffer cells and macrophages in vitro.
