Description
Characterized by striking metastatic propensity and chemoresistance, melanoma is among the most lethal cutaneous malignancies. The transcription factor ATF2 was shown to elicit oncogenic activities in melanoma, and its inhibition attenuates melanoma development. Here, a mouse model engineered to express a transcriptionally inactive form of Atf2 (Atf2?8,9) was found to be sufficient to induce nevi formation and, when crossed with BrafV600E animals, to promote melanoma development. The cross of Atf2?8,9 with BrafV600E;Pten-/- mice augmented pigmentation, tumorigenicity, and metastasis. Similar to mouse Atf2?8,9, the human ATF2 splice variant 5 enhanced growth and migration capacity of cultured melanoma and immortalized melanocytes. Induced Melan-A, CXCL9, S100A8, CCR7 expression, seen in Atf2?8,9-driven tumors associate with their enhanced pigmentation, immune infiltration and propensity to metastasize. Notably, elevated ATF2SV5 expression in melanoma specimens coincided with poor prognosis. The gain-of-function activity elicited by the truncated ATF2 form offers unexpected insight into mechanisms underlying melanoma development and progression. Overall design: Compared silencing of ATF2SV5 in H3A cells vs. silencing of ATF2WT via Ampliseq whole transcriptome analysis on the Ion Proton

Description
To investigate differential gene expression that might account for the differing glomerular phenotype of NPHS2-Cre +/+ mice when compared with wild-type control, including altered GBM thickness, loss of normal foot process morphology, and decrease in podocyte number, RNA sequencing analysis was performed on glomeruli extracted from both NPHS2-Cre +/+ and wild-type control mice. Overall design: Following isolation of glomeruli using Dynabeads from NPHS2-Cre +/+ and wild-type control mice (n=2 biological replicates per genotype, singly isolated), total RNA was extracted and RNA samples were submited for sample preparation and sequencing.

Description
Microarray analysis revealed that changes in genes expressions are brain region-dependent; expression of several genes are affected by point mutation L100P, which was verified by RT-PCR (Lcn2, Cyr61, Slc6a12, Slc40a1, Egr2), a few genes are affected by genotype and valproate (Dusp1 and Purb), suggesting their role in valproate-induced benificial effect on sensorimotor gaiting in Disc1-L100P mutant mice. The final conclusion will be drawn after series of RT-PCR confirmation.

Description
We sequenced mRNA from 12 samples extracted from mouse amygdala tissue to generate the first amygdala-specific murine transcriptome for germ-free mice (GF), conventionally raised controls (CON) and germ-free mice that have been colonized with normal microbiota from postnatal day 21 (exGF). Overall design: Equal amounts of RNA from two to three animals were pooled to yield 4 samples per group (CON, GF, and exGF). Pairwise comparisons for CONvsGF, CONvsexGF, GFvsexGF were performed using DESeq2.

Description
A "Cartes d'Identite des Tumeurs" (CIT) project from the french Ligue Nationale Contre le Cancer (<a href="http://cit.ligue-cancer.net" target="_blank">http://cit.ligue-cancer.net</a>). 104 samples; Affymetrix U133A micro-arrays.<br></br> <br></br> Ninety two patients with T-ALL were diagnosed and treated at Saint-Louis hospital, Paris. Seven patients were studied at diagnosis and relapse (total 99 T-ALL samples). There were 56 children (median age 9 years old; range 1 to 16), and 36 adults (median age 27; range 17 to 66). Informed consent was obtained from the patients and/or relatives. T-ALL diagnosis was based on morphological and immunophenotypical criteria using flow cytometry and an extended monoclonal antibody panel.<br></br> <br></br> Using a combination of molecular cytogenetic and large-scale expression analysis in human T-ALL, we identified and characterized a new recurrent chromosomal translocation, targeting the major homeobox gene cluster HOXA and the TCRB locus. Specific quantitative PCR analysis showed that the expression of the whole HOXA gene cluster was dramatically dysregulated in the HOXA-rearranged cases, and also in MLL and CALM-AF10-related T-ALL cases, strongly suggesting that HOXA genes are oncogenic in these leukemias. Inclusion of HOXA-translocated cases in a general molecular portrait of 92 T-ALL based on large-scale expression analysis shows that this rearrangement defines a new homogeneous subgroup, which shares common biological networks with the TLX1 and TLX3-related cases. Since T-ALLs derive from T-cell progenitors, expression profiles of the distinct T-ALL subgroups were analyzed with respect to those of normal human thymic sub-populations. Inappropriate utilization or perturbation of specific molecular networks involved in thymic differentiation was detected. Moreover, we found a significant association between T-ALL oncogenic subgroups and ectopic expression of a limited set of genes, including several developmental genes, namely HOXA, TLX1, TLX3, NKX3-1, SIX6 and TFAP2C. These data strongly support the view that the abnormal expression of developmental genes, including the prototypical homeobox genes HOXA, is critical in T-ALL oncogenesis.<br></br> <br></br> Project Leader: <br></br> FranC'ois Sigaux<br></br> Institut Universitaire d'Hematologie<br></br> Hopital Saint Louis, Paris, France<br></br> <br></br> Data submission:<br></br>Fabien Petel

Description
Despite advances in contemporary chemotherapeutic strategies, long term survival still remains elusive for patients with metastatic colorectal cancer. A better understanding of the molecular markers of drug sensitivity to match therapy with patient is needed to improve clinical outcomes. In this study, we used in vitro drug sensitivity data from the NCI-60 cell lines together with their Affymetrix microarray data to develop a gene expression signature to predict sensitivity to oxaliplatin. In order to validate our oxaliplatin sensitivity signature, Patient-Derived Colorectal Cancer Explants (PDCCEs) were developed in NOD-SCID mice from resected human colorectal tumors. Analysis of gene expression profiles found similarities between the PDCCEs and their parental human tumors, suggesting their utility to study drug sensitivity in vivo. The oxaliplatin sensitivity signature was then validated in vivo with response data from 14 PDCCEs treated with oxaliplatin and was found to have an accuracy of 92.9% (Sensitivity=87.5%; Specificity=100%). Our findings suggest that PDCCEs can be a novel source to study drug sensitivity in colorectal cancer. Furthermore, genomic-based analysis has the potential to be incorporated into future strategies to optimize individual therapy for patients with metastatic colorectal cancer.
