Description
microRNAs, important regulators of cell proliferation and apoptosis, have been shown to be involved in the pathogenesis of acute myeloid leukemia in adulthood AML. However, comprehensive studies in AML of children and adolescents are missing so far. We investigated the miRNA expression profiles of different AML subtypes from 102 pediatric patients in comparison to CD34+ cells from healthy donors and adult AML patients, in order to identify differentially expressed miRNAs. Pediatric samples with core factor binding acute myeloid leukemia and promyelocytic leukemia could be distinguished from each other and MLL rearranged AML subtypes by 9 and 18 miRNAs, respectively. miR-126, -146a, -181a/b, -100, and miR-125b were identified as highest differentially expressed with marked difference of expression between pediatric and adulthood samples of the same cytogenetic subgroup. We next isolated the miRNA targeting complex from t(8;21) and t(15;17) cell line models and comprehensively identified bound miRNAs and targeted mRNAs by a newly devised immunoprecipitation assay followed by rapid microarray detection. Our findings indicate separate binding preferences for the four human Argonaute proteins. Subsequent bioinformatic analysis revealed a concerted action of different Ago proteins in the regulation of AML-relevant pathways, providing an experimental based database of miRNA-mRNA target interaction in Argonaute proteins.

Description
MyD88-independent signal transduction associated with Toll-like receptors (TLRs) 3 and TLR4 is mediated through the adapter protein TRIF (TIR-domain-containing adapter-inducing interferon-beta). It has been proposed that TLR signalling is important for the transcription of crucial inflammasome components like NLRP3, a process that has been termed "priming". In order to test whether TRIF signalling was required for the priming of inflammasome components, we performed a genome wide transcriptional analysis on wild-type and Trif-knockout bone marrow derived macrophages (BMMs) before and 1, 3 and 6 hours after phagocytosis of E. coli. These results indicated that TRIF was involved in the activation and not transcriptional priming of the NLRP3 inflammasome.

Description
Plant Homeo Domain (PHD) is a versatile chromatin reader/effector module which recognizes methylated, acetylated or unmodified histone substrates and regulates cellular gene expression programs. Although PHD domains shows selective epigenetic recognition of methylated, acetylated and unmodified histone substrates, there has been no previous report on its catalytic function regulating malignant transformation of cells. Here we report that PHD finger of UBR7 (Ubiquitin Protein Ligase E3 Component N-Recognin 7 (Putative)), in isolation or in context of full length protein, harbors E3 ubiquitin ligase activity towards monoubiquitination of histone H2B at lysine 120 . Knockdown of UBR7 in MCF10a and breast cancer cells decreased H2BK120ub both at the global levels and on specific genes. Conversely, overexpression of wild type, but not catalytic mutant, rescued H2BK120ub levels. Low UBR7 expression was associated with basal-like and triple negative breast cancers as well as showed poor expression in metastatic tumors. Consistently, UBR7 loss resulted in invasion properties, induced epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition and promoted metastasis. Conversely, ectopic expression of UBR7 reduced cell growth, invasion and tumor growth in mouse fat pad. Mechanistically, UBR7 reduced H2BK120ub gene body of cell-adhesion related genes as well as gene expression including on CDH4 gene. Importantly, rebuilding CDH4 levels rescued invasion phenotypes seen in UBR7-low cells. Collectively, our results establish that UBR7 PHD has novel H2B ubiquitin ligase activity and it suppresses tumor growth in basal-like breast cancers. Overall design: Triplicate total RNA profiles in Wild Type and UBR7-shRNA MCF10A Cell Line

Description
Purpose: Next-generation sequencing (NGS) has revolutionized systems-based analysis of cellular pathways. The goals of this study are to compare GBM transcriptome profiling (RNA-seq) after shRNA based knockdown of PRKAB1 and to compare gene expression by optimal high-throughput data analysis Overall design: Methods: Total RNA profiles of two GBM cells (scramble and PRKAB1 sh RNA treated) were generated by deep sequencing, in triplicate, using Illumina Hiseq 2000. The sequence reads that passed quality filters were analyzed at the transcript isoform level with two methods: Burrows–Wheeler Aligner (BWA) followed by ANOVA (ANOVA) and TopHat followed by Cufflinks. qRT–PCR validation was performed using SYBR Green assays

Description
Background: African Americans (AA) have more pronounced insulin resistance and higher insulin secretion than European Americans (Caucasians or CA) when matched for age, gender, and body mass index (BMI). We hypothesize that physiological differences (including insulin sensitivity [SI]) between CAs and AAs can be explained by co-regulated gene networks in tissues involved in glucose homeostasis. Methods: We performed integrative gene network analyses of transcriptomic data in subcutaneous adipose tissue of 99 CA and 37 AA subjects metabolically characterized as non-diabetic, with a range of SI and BMI values. Results: Transcripts negatively correlated with SI in only the CA or AA subjects were enriched for inflammatory response genes and integrin-signaling genes, respectively. A sub-network (module) with TYROBP as a hub enriched for genes involved in inflammatory response (corrected p= 1.7E-26) was negatively correlated with SI (r= -0.426, p= 4.95E-04) in CA subjects. SI was positively correlated with transcript modules enriched for mitochondrial metabolism in both groups. Several SI-associated co-expressed modules were enriched for genes differentially expressed between groups. Two modules involved in immune response to viral infections and function of adherens junction, are significantly correlated with SI only in CAs. Five modules involved in drug/intracellular transport and oxidoreductase activity, among other activities, are correlated with SI only in AAs. Furthermore, we identified driver genes of these race-specific SI-associated modules. Conclusions: SI-associated transcriptional networks that were deranged predominantly in one ethnic group may explain the distinctive physiological features of glucose homeostasis among AA subjects.

Description
Members of the CUG-BP, Elav-like family (CELF) regulate alternative splicing in the heart. In MHC-CELFdelta transgenic mice, CELF splicing activity is inhibited postnatally in heart muscle via expression of a nuclear dominant negative CELF protein under an a-myosin heavy chain promoter. MHC-CELFdelta mice develop dilated cardiomyopathy characterized by alternative splicing defects, enlarged hearts, and severe contractile dysfunction. In this study, gene expression profiles in the hearts of wild type, high- and low-expressing lines of MHC-CELFdelta mice were compared using microarrays. Gene ontology and pathway analyses identified contraction and calcium signaling as the most affected processes. Network analysis revealed that the serum response factor (SRF) network is highly affected. Downstream targets of SRF were up-regulated in MHC-CELFdelta mice compared to the wild type, suggesting an increase in SRF activity. Although SRF levels remained unchanged, known inhibitors of SRF activity were down-regulated. These results suggest a role for CELF-mediated alternative splicing in the regulation of contractile gene expression, achieved in part through modulating the activity of SRF, a key cardiac transcription factor.

Description
In the present study, to identify potential paracrine factor for the stromal regulation of E2-induced epithelial cell proliferation, we treated epithelial and stromal cell populations of mouse uterine primary co-culture with either oil or E2. Three independent RNA pools prepared for each population were then subjected to the Affymetrix gene chip analysis for the whole mouse genome transcripts. Our data revealed up-regulation of 119 genes and down-regulation of 28 genes in epithelial cell populations and up-regulation of 144 genes and down-regulation of 192 genes in stromal cell population.
