Description
EKLF is a Krppel-like transcription factor identified as a transcriptional activator and chromatin modifier in erythroid cells. EKLF-deficient (Eklf -/-) mice die at day 14.5 of gestation from severe anemia. In this study, we demonstrate that early progenitor cells fail to undergo terminal erythroid differention in Eklf -/- embryos. To discover potential EKLF target genes responsible for the failure of erythropoiesis, transcriptional profiling was performed with RNA from wild type and Eklf -/- early erythroid progenitor cells. These analyses identified significant perturbation of a network of genes involved in cell cycle regulation, with the critical regulator of the cell cycle, E2f2, at a hub. E2f2 mRNA and protein levels were markedly decreased in Eklf -/- early erythroid progenitor cells, which showed a delay in the G1-to-S-phase transition. Chromatin immunoprecipitation analysis demonstrated EKLF occupancy at the proximal E2f2 promoter in vivo. Consistent with the role of EKLF as a chromatin modifier, EKLF binding-sites in the E2f2 promoter were located in a region of EKLF-dependent DNase I sensitivity in early erythroid progenitor cells. We propose a model in which EKLF-dependent activation and modification of the E2f2 locus is required for cell cycle progression preceding terminal erythroid differentiation.
Publication Title

Description
Purpose: The phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) pathway is fundamental for cell proliferation and survival and is frequently altered and activated in neoplasia, including carcinomas of the lung. In this study we investigated the potential of targeting the catalytic class IA PI3K isoforms in small cell lung cancer (SCLC), which is the most aggressive of all lung cancer types. Experimental Design: The expression of PI3K isoforms in patient specimens was analyzed. The effects on SCLC cell survival and downstream signaling were determined following PI3K isoform inhibition by selective inhibitors or down-regulation by small interfering RNA. Results: Over-expression of the PI3K isoforms p110 and p110 was shown by immunohistochemistry in primary SCLC tissue samples. Targeting the PI3K p110 with RNA interference (RNAi) or selective pharmacological inhibitors resulted in strongly affected cell proliferation of SCLC cells in vitro and in vivo, while targeting p110 was less effective. Inhibition of p110 also resulted in increased apoptosis and autophagy, which was accompanied by decreased phosphorylation of Akt and components of the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway, such as the ribosomal S6 protein, and the eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E-binding protein 1 (4E-BP1). A DNA microarray analysis revealed that p110 inhibition profoundly affected the balance of pro- and anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 family proteins. Finally, p110 inhibition led to impaired SCLC tumor formation and vascularization in vivo. Conclusion: Together our data demonstrate the key involvement of the PI3K isoform p110 in multiple tumor-promoting processes in SCLC.

Description
To understand which genes acts downstream AtHB1 affecting hypocotyl growth in Arabidopsis thaliana, we performed transcriptional profiles of 4-day-old seedlings grown in a short-day regime comparing wild-type with athb1-1 mutant plants. These results show that some of the AtHB1-regulated genes modulate cell elongation, particularly cell wall composition and elongation, or encode proteins that serve as a source of carbon, nitrogen, and sulfur for early seedling growth. Overall design: RNA-Seq data for 4-day-old wild-type (Col-0) and athb1-1 mutant seedlings grown under short-day conditions. Biological triplicates were performed for each genotype analyzed.

Affymetrix Mouse Genome 430 2.0 Array (mouse4302)
Description
We generated human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) from trisomy 21 (T21) and euploid patient tissues with and without GATA1 mutations causing exclusive expression of truncated GATA1, termed GATA1short (GATA1s). Transcriptome analysis comparing expression levels of genes in GATA1s vs. wtGATA1-expressing progenitors demonstrated that GATA1s impairs erythropoiesis and enhances megakaryopoiesis and myelopoiesis in both T21 and euploid contexts in the iPSC-model system.

Description
We transduced mouse Gata1- megakaryocyte-erythroid progenitors with MIGRI-GFP vector expressing GATA1fl or GATA1s cDNAs. GFP-positive cells expressing one of the two isoforms of GATA1 were isolated by FACS 42 hours following transduction and used for microarray transcriptome analysis. At this time point, there was no apparent difference in the cell surface phenotypes between GATA1fl and GATA1s-expressing cells. Transcriptome data for G1ME/GATA1fl at 42h were deposited previously under GSE14980 (GSM374049, GSM374050, GSM374051), whereas G1ME/GATA1s at 42h are deposited here.

Description
Medulloblastoma (MB) is the most common malignant brain tumor in children, among whom overexpression or amplification of MYC oncogenes has been associated with poor clinical outcome. Although the MYC functions during normal development and oncogenesis in various systems have been extensively investigated, the transcriptional targets mediating MYC effects in MB are still elusive. Their identification and roles during MB onset and progression are important and will ultimately suggest novel potential therapeutic targets. cDNA microarray analysis was used to compare the effects of overexpressing and silencing MYC on the transcriptome of a MB-derived cell line. We identified 209 genes with potential relevance to MYC-dependent cellular responses in MB. Among the MYC-responsive genes, we found members of the bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling pathway, which plays a crucial role during the development of the cerebellum. In particular, the cytokine gene BMP7 was identified as a direct target of MYC in MB cells. Similar to the effect induced by BMP7 silencing by siRNA, the use of a small-molecule inhibitor of the BMP/SMAD signaling pathway reduced cell viability in a panel of MB cells. Altogether, our findings indicate that high MYC levels drive BMP7 expression in MB to induce pro-survival and pro-proliferative cellular pathways. This observation suggests that targeting the BMP/SMAD pathway may be a new therapeutic concept for the treatment of childhood MB.
