Description
EGR3 expression is upregulated in human prostate cancer compared to normal prostate tissue and is associated with absence of relapse, while low EGR3 expression in tumors is predicitive of disease relapse (Pio et al., PLOS One 2013; 8(1):e54096). However the function of EGR3 in prostate cancer is unknown. Human prostate cancer cells M12 containing high levels of EGR3 were used for shRNA-mediated silencing of EGR3. Gene expression analysis of EGR3 knockdown cells reveals a role in inflammation and the existence of a crosstalk with the NFkB pathway.

Description
The anthracycline, doxorubicin (Dox), is widely used in oncology, but it may it may cause a cardiomyopathy which has dismal prognosis and cannot be effectively prevented. The secretome of multipotent human amniotic fluid-derived stem cells (hAFS) has previously been demonstrated to reduce ischemic cardiac damage. Here, it is shown that the hAFS conditioned medium (hAFS-CM) antagonizes senescence and apoptosis of cardiomyocytes and cardiac progenitor cells, two major features of Dox cardiotoxicity. Mechanistic studies with primary mouse neonatal cardiomyocytes reveal that hAFS-CM inhibition of Dox-elicited senescence and apoptosis is paralleled by decreased DNA damage and is associated with nuclear translocation of NF-kB and upregulation of a set of genes controlled by NF-kB, namely Il6 and Cxcl1, which promote cardiomyocyte survival, and Cyp1b1 and Abcb1, which encode for proteins involved in Dox metabolism and efflux, respectively. The PI3K/Akt signaling cascade, upstream of NF-kB, is potently activated by the hAFS-CM and pre-treatment with a PI3K inhibitor abrogates NF-kB accumulation into the nucleus, modulation of its target genes, and prevention of Dox-initiated senescence and apoptosis in response to the hAFS-CM. This work may lay the ground for the development of a stem cell-based paracrine therapy of chemotherapy-related cardiotoxicity.

Description
Depending on the tumor type IB kinase (IKK) can act as tumor promoter or tumor suppressor in various malignancies. Here we demonstrate a key function of IKK in the suppression of a tumoricidal microenvironment during intestinal carcinogenesis. Mice deficient in IKK kinase activity are largely protected from intestinal tumor development that is dependent on the enhanced recruitment of IFN expressing M1-like myeloid cells. In IKK mutant mice M1-like polarization is not controlled in a cell autonomous manner but depends rather on the interplay of both IKK mutant tumor epithelia and immune cells.

IKKα promotes intestinal tumorigenesis by limiting recruitment of M1-like polarized myeloid cells.

Description
Primordial germ cells (PGCs), the embryonic precursors of eggs and sperm, are a unique model for identifying and studying regulatory mechanisms in singly migrating cells. From their time of specification to eventual colonization of the gonad, mouse PGCs traverse through and interact with many different cell types, including epithelial cells and mesenchymal tissues. Work in drosophila and zebrafish have identified many genes and signaling pathways involved in PGC migration, but little is known about this process in mammals.
Publication Title
Discrete somatic niches coordinate proliferation and migration of primordial germ cells via Wnt signaling.

Description
The import of nuclear transcribed RNAs into mitochondria is an emerging area that presents tremendous opportunity to develop human metabolic therapeutics. However, our knowledge base is quite limited. Much remains to be discovered regarding specific RNA localization and mechanisms of import. In order to identify novel RNAs imported into mitochondria, all RNAs within the mitochondria were characterized using next generation sequencing technology. Several nuclear transcribed RNAs were found within mitochondrial RNA samples, including nuclear ribosomal RNAs, gamma satellite RNA and VL30 retroelement RNA. The presence of these RNAs within mitochondria coupled with RNA sequencing data (RNAseq) from other laboratories investigating mitochondrial RNA processing, lead us to hypothesize that nuclease treatment of mitoplasts is insufficient for removing contaminating cytoplasmic RNAs. In contrast to traditional methodology, mitochondrial import was evaluated by qRT-PCR after stepwise removal of the outer mitochondrial membrane and subsequent lysis of mitochondria. This allowed identification of RNAs lost from the mitochondria with the same kinetics as mtDNA-transcribed RNAs. This approach provided an improved evaluation of nuclear RNA enrichment within mitochondrial membranes in order to characterize nuclease protection and mitochondrial import and identify false-positive detection errors. qRT-PCR results confirmed the presence of VL30 retroelement RNA within mitochondria and question the hypothesis that the RNA component of RNase P is imported. These results illustrate a reliable approach for evaluating the presence of RNAs within mitochondria and open new avenues of investigation relating to mitochondrial RNA biology and in targeting mitochondrial based therapeutics. Overall design: RNA isolated from purified mitoplasts was sequenced on an Illumina Genome Analyzer IIx

Description
SV40 large T antigen (TAg) contributes to cell transformation, in part, by targeting two well characterized tumor suppressors, pRb and p53. TAg expression affects the transcriptional circuits controlled by Rb and by p53. We have performed a microarray analysis to examine the global change in gene expression induced by wild-type TAg and TAg-mutants, in an effort to link changes in gene expression to specific transforming functions. For this analysis we have used MEFs expressing TAg or infected by SV40. Our analysis indicates that TAg can induce interferon-stimulated genes in MEFs and that this induction depends upon the LXCXE motif and p53 binding.

Description
Focal adhesion kinase (FAK) is a non-receptor tyrosine kinase that plays an important role in proliferation, motility, adhesion, invasion, angiogenesis, and survival signaling. Focal adhesion kinase has been shown to be overexpressed in many types of tumors, including breast cancer at early stages of tumorigenesis. To study the biological role of FAK in breast tumorigenesis, we used FAKsiRNA to down-regulate FAK in MCF-7 cell lines.
