Description
Ventricular chambers are essential for the rhythmic contraction and relaxation that occurs in every hearbeat throughout life. Congenital abnormalities in ventricular chamber formation cause severe human heart defects. How the early trabecular meshwork of myocardial fibres forms and subsequently develops into mature chambers is still poorly understood. Here we show that Notch signalling first connects chamber endocardium and myocardium to sustain trabeculation and later coordinates ventricular patterning and compaction with coronary vessel development to give rise to the mature chamber via a temporal sequence of ligand signalling determined by the glycosyltransferase Manic Fringe (Mfng). The early endocardial expression of Mfng favours Dll4-Notch1 signalling, Which induces trabeculation in the developing ventricle.Ventricular maturation and compaction in turn require Mfng and Dll4 downregulation in the endocardium, Which allows myocardial Jag1- And Jag2- Signalling to Notch1 in this tissue.Timely and spatial perturbation of this signalling equilibrium severely disrupts heart chamber formation. Our results open a new research avenue into the pathogenesis of cardiomyopathies. Overall design: Dll4 and Notch1 conditional KOs using Nfact1 and/or Tie2 driven Cre expression: RNA was isolated from pooled whole hearts of 8 (Nfact1) or 9 (Tie2) E9.5 embryos per replicate. Dll4flox;Nfatc1-Cre and WT siblings (4 KO and 4 WT replicates), Notch1flox;Nfatc1-Cre and WT siblings (3 KO and 2 WT replicates), Dll4flox;Tie2-Cre and WT siblings (3 KO and 3 WT replicates). Jag1, Jag2 and Jag1Jag2 conditional KOs using cTnT driven Cre expression: RNA was isolated from pooled heart ventricles of 4 E15.5 embryos per replicate. Jag1flox;cTnT-Cre and WT siblings (3 KO and 3 WT replicates), Jag2flox;cTnT-Cre and WT siblings (3 KO and 2 WT replicates). Jag1flox;jag2flox;cTnT-Cre and WT siblings (3 KO and 2 WT replicates). MFng Gain Of Function using Tie2 driven Cre expression: RNA was isolated from pooled heart ventricles of 4 E15.5 embryos per replicate. MFng;Tie2-Cre and WT siblings (4 GOF and 4 WT replicates). For Dll4, Noth1 and Jag1 KOs, libraries were prepared using the standard Illumina TrueSeq RNASeq library preparation kit and sequenced in a GAIIx Illumina sequencer using a 75bp single end elongation protocol. For Jag2 and Jag1Jag2 KOs and MFng GOF libraries were prepared prepared using the NEBNext Ultra RNA Library Prep Kit for Illumina and sequenced in a HiSeq2500 Illumina sequencer using a 61bp single end elongation protocol

Description
Dioxygenases of the TET family impact genome functions by converting 5-methylcytosine in DNA to 5-hydroxymethylcytosine, but the individual contribution of the three family members to differentiation and function of myeloid cells is still incompletely understood. Using cells with a deletion in the Tet2 gene, we show that TET2 contributes to the regulation of mast cell differentiation, proliferation and effector functions. The differentiation defect observed in absence of TET2 could be however completely rescued or further exacerbated by modulating TET3 activity, and it was primarily linked to dysregulated expression of the C/EBP family of transcription factors. In contrast, hyper-proliferation induced by the lack of TET2 could not be modified by TET3. Together, our data indicate the existence of both overlapping and unique roles of individual TET proteins in regulating myeloid cell gene expression, proliferation and function. Overall design: Total mRNA of FACS-sorted Kit+ FceRIa+ populations of primary bone marrow-derived mast cells (BMMCs) from Tet2-/- and Tet2+/+ animals was extracted and subjected to multiparallel sequencing.

Description
Hox genes are required for the development of the intestinal caecum, a major organ of species eating plants. We have analysed the transcriptional regulation of Hoxd genes in caecal buds and show that they are controlled by a series of enhancers located in a gene desert telomeric to the HoxD cluster. The start site of two neighboring and opposite long non-coding RNAs, Hotdog and Twin of Hotdog, specifically transcribed in the caecum, contacts the expressed Hoxd genes in the framework of a topological domain, a large domain of interactions, which ensures a robust transcription of these genes during caecum budding. We show that hedgehogs have kept this regulatory potential despite the absence of caecum, suggesting that these enhancers are used in other developmental situations. In this context, we discuss some striking similarities between the caecum and the limb buds, suggesting the implementation of a common budding tool-kit. Overall design: Transcriptional activity at the HoxD locus in the murine developing gut at E13, Differential gene expression analysis along the murine developing gut

Genetic factors contribute to the development of ischemic stroke but their identity remains largely unknown. We tested the association with ischemic stroke of 210 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with pathways functionally related to stroke. We observed an association between the rs7956957 SNP in LRP1 and next performed microarrays analysis in healthy individuals to investigate possible associations of LRP genotypes with the expression of other genes.

Description
Parvin-beta is a focal adhesion protein downregulated in human breast cancer cells. Loss of Parvin-beta contributes to increased integrin-linked kinase activity, cell-matrix adhesion, and invasion through the extracellular matrix in vitro. The effect of ectopic Parvin-beta expression on the transcriptional profile of MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells, which normally do not express Parvin-beta was evaluated. Particular emphasis was placed upon propagating MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells in three-dimensional culture matrices. Gene expression profiles of vector control and Parvin-beta transfected MDA-MB-231 cells cultured on (A) monomeric type I collagen coated plastic, (B) embedded in a type I collagen gel, and (C) embedded in basement membrane (growth factor reduced Matrigel), were compared. Interestingly, Parvin-beta re-expression in MDA-MB-231 cells increased the mRNA expression, serine 82 phosphorylation (mediated by CDK9), and activity of the nuclear hormone receptor, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARgamma) and a concomitant increase in lipogenic gene expression as a downstream effector of PPARgamma. Importantly, Parvin-beta suppressed breast cancer growth in vivo with associated decreased proliferation. These data suggest that Parvin-beta might influence breast cancer progression..
