Description
Soybean (Glycine max) seeds are an important source of seed storage compounds, including protein, oil, and sugar used for food, feed, chemical, and biofuel production. We assessed detailed temporal transcriptional and metabolic changes in developing soybean embryos to gain a systems biology view of developmental and metabolic changes and to identify potential targets for metabolic engineering. Two major developmental and metabolic transitions were captured enabling identification of potential metabolic engineering targets specific to seed filling and to desiccation. The first transition involved a switch between different types of metabolism in dividing and elongating cells. The second transition involved the onset of maturation and desiccation tolerance during seed filling and a switch from photoheterotrophic to heterotrophic metabolism. Clustering analyses of metabolite and transcript data revealed clusters of functionally related metabolites and transcripts active in these different developmental and metabolic programs. The gene clusters provide a resource to generate predictions about the associations and interactions of unknown regulators with their targets based on guilt-by-association relationships. The inferred regulators also represent potential targets for future metabolic engineering of relevant pathways and steps in central carbon and nitrogen metabolism in soybean embryos and drought and desiccation tolerance in plants. Overall design: Total mRNA profiles of 10 time course samples of Soybean developing embryos with three replicates per sample were generated by deep sequencing, using Illumina HiSeq 2000

Description
The goal of the study was to understand whether mitochondrial-driven epigenetic changes regulate gene expression. Mitochondrial metabolism has been implicated in epigenetics but the extent to which this impacts gene expression is unclear. Here we show that loss of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) results in locus-specific alterations in histone acetylation, DNA methylation and expression of a subset of genes. Most of these changes are rescued by restoring mitochondrial electron transport in a way that maintains the oxidative tricarboxylic acid cycle, but not reactive oxygen species or ATP production, or by modulating the mitochondrial pool of acetyl-CoA. Changes in acetyl-CoA and histone acetylation precede overt mitochondrial dysfunction and significant changes in gene expression and DNA methylation. This suggests that acetyl-CoA levels signal mitochondrial status to the nucleus. Differentially expressed genes with altered histone marks or DNA methylation regulate amino acid degradation, which likely compensates for the changes in acetyl-CoA and one carbon metabolism. These have the potential to further affect methylation reactions, redox control and nucleotide levels. These results illustrate the extent to which mitochondria impact cell physiology through epigenetic remodeling.

Description
Here we describe three new small-molecule activators of BMP signaling found by high throughput screening of a library of ~600,000 small molecules. Using a cell-based luciferase assay in the BMP4-responsive human cervical carcinoma clonal cell line, C33A-2D2, we identified three compounds with similar chemotypes, each ventralized zebrafish embryos and stimulated increased expression of the Bmp target genes, bmp2b and szl. Because these compounds ventralize zebrafish embryos, we have termed them ventromorphins. As expected for a BMP pathway activator, they induce the differentiation of C2C12 myoblasts to osteoblasts. Affymetrix RNA analysis confirmed the differentiation results and showed that ventromorphin treatments elicits a genetic response similar to BMP-4 treatment. Unlike isoliquiritigenin (SJ000286273), a flavone that maximally activates the pathway after 24 hours of treatment, all three ventromorphins induced SMAD1/5/8 phosphorylation within 30 minutes of treatment and achieved peak activity at 30 minutes or 1 hour, indicating that their direct responses are consistent with activated BMP signaling.

Description
The transition to lactation challenges dairy cows metabolically. Immune dysfunction and infectious disease risk is the hallmark of this transition period. Transcriptome data of PBMC shows differentially expressed pathways postpartum. Metabolically stressed cows show upregulation of innate immune pathways and inflammation. Overall design: Gene expression profiling of PMBCs from 6 dairy cows, each sampled 21 days prepartum and 7 days postpartum. Three cows (H1-3) showed signs of increased metabolic stress (by other assays) relative to the other three cows (L1-3).
Publication Title
The degree of postpartum metabolic challenge in dairy cows is associated with peripheral blood mononuclear cell transcriptome changes of the innate immune system.

Description
Small molecule inhibitors of the bromodomain and extraterminal (BET) family of proteins are in clinical trials for a variety of cancers, but patient selection strategies are limited. This is due in part to the heterogeneity of response following BET inhibition (BETi), which includes differentiation, senescence, and cell death in subsets of cancer cell lines. To elucidate the dominant features defining response to BETi, we carried out phenotypic and gene expression analysis of both treatment naïve cell lines and engineered tolerant lines. We found that both de novo and acquired tolerance to BET inhibition are driven by the robustness of the apoptotic response and that genetic or pharmacological manipulation of the apoptotic signaling network can modify the phenotypic response to BETi. We further identify that ordered expression of the apoptotic genes BCL2, BCL2L1, and BAD significantly predicts response to BETi. Our findings highlight the role of the apoptotic network in response to BETi, providing a molecular basis for patient stratification and combination therapies. Overall design: Gene expression profiling of A375 melanoma cells or NOMO-1 AML cells treated with DMSO or the BET inhibitor, CPI203. Also, gene expression profiling of the respective derived BETi-tolerant cells treated with DMSO or CPI203.

Description
The carcinogenic potential of chemicals is currently evaluated with rodent life-time bioassays, which are time consuming, and expensive with respect to cost, number of animals and amount of compound required. For insight into early mechanisms of non-genotoxoc carcinogenesis and for identification of potential early biomarkers of non-genotoxic carcinogenesis, groups of rats were treated with a range of known non-genotoxic carcinogens for a period of 14, 28, or 90 days, and liver tissue was harvested for expression profiling. Control groups were treated with appropriate vehicles.

Description
Conventional notion regards the action of non-genotoxic carcinogens (NGC) an autonomous process largely confined to parenchymal cells. Here we aim to elucidate the role of the hepatic mesenchyme for the action of two prototypical NGC, phenobarbital (PB), an anti-epileptic drug, and cyproterone acetate (CPA) a gestagen used in contraceptive pills.
