Description
14-3-3 proteins facilitate cytoplasmic-nuclear shuttling of transcription factors.Adipocyte differentiation requires the function of critical transcription factors to drive the development of a mature adipocyte. The aim of the study was to investigate if 14-3-3? is required for the adipogenic transcriptional program. Overall design: Examination of the transcriptome in siCon- and si14-3-3?-transfected 3T3-L1 cells undergoing differentiation at t=0, 24, and 48 hours.

Description
Due to inherent differences in adipcoyte size between wildtype and knockout animals, we sought to examine if the decrease in adipocyte size was due to differences in the transcriptome and more specifcially, adipogenic genes. Overall design: Examination of the transcriptome in wildtype (WT) and knockout (KO) gonadal white adipose tissue from adult mice

Description
NR4A1 (Nur77, TR3) is an orphan nuclear receptor that is overexpressed in pancreatic cancer cells and tumors and exhibits pro-oncogenic activity. Knockdown of NR4A1 by RNA interference (siNR4A1) in Panc1 cells and analysis of the proteome resulted in induction of several markers of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress including glucose-related protein 78 (GRP78), CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein-homologous protein (CHOP), activating transcription factor-3 (ATF-3) and AFT-6. These effects were accompanied by induction of apoptosis and similar results were observed after treatment of pancreatic cancer cells with the known inactivator of NR4A1, 1,1-bis(3-indolyl)-1-(p-hydroxyphenyl)methane (DIM-C-pPhOH). Both siNR4A1 (transfected) and DIM-C-pPhOH also induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) and induction of ROS and ER stress by these agents was attenuated after cotreatment with antioxidants. Transfection of Panc1 cells with siNR4A1 follow by analysis of gene expression by arrays identified ROS metabolism genes regulated by NR4A1. Knockdown of one of these genes, thioredoxin domain containing 5 (TXNDC5) also resulted in induction of ROS and ER stress demonstrating that NR4A1 regulates levels of ER stress and ROS in pancreatic cancer cells to facilitate cell proliferation and survival. Inactivation of this receptor by siNR4A1 or DIM-C-pPhOH decreases TXNDC5 resulting in activation of ROS/ER stress and pro-apoptotic pathways and represents a novel pathway for inducing cell death in pancreatic cancer cells.

Description
Myc expression cooperates with Rb1 and Trp53 loss in mouse lungs to generate rapid, aggressive, highly metastatic and neuroendocrine-low tumors that are similar to human variant subset of SCLC with high NEUROD1 expression. Targeted drug screening reveals that mouse and human MYC-driven SCLC are vulnerable to Aurora kinase inhibition in combination with chemotherapy in vivo. Overall design: Tumor formation is induced by infecting the conditional Rb1 fl/fl; Trp53 fl/fl, LSL-Myc (T58A) and Rb1 fl/fl; Trp53 fl/fl, p130 fl/fl GEMMs with adenoviruses with Cgrp promoter driving Cre recombinase. The tumors were macro-dissected from lungs. RNA was extracted from fresh or flash frozen tumors and subjected to single end RNA sequencing.

Description
Correlative controls (influences of one organ over another organ) of seeds over maternal growth are one of the most obvious phenotypic expressions of the trade-off between growth and reproduction. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms are largely unknown. Here, we characterize the physiological and molecular effects of correlative inhibition by seeds on Arabidopsis thaliana inflorescences, i.e. global proliferative arrest (GPA) during which all maternal growth ceases upon the production of a given number of seeds. We use laser-assisted microdissection and RNA-seq or Affymetrix GeneChip hybridizations to compare sterile growing, fertile growing and fertile arrested meristems or whole inflorescences. In shoot tissues, we detected the induction of stress- and senescence-related gene expression upon fruit production and GPA, and a drop in chlorophyll levels - suggestive of altered source-sink relationships between vegetative shoot and reproductive tissues. Levels of shoot reactive oxygen species, however, strongly decreased upon GPA - a phenomenon that is associated with bud dormancy in some perennials. Indeed, gene expression changes in arrested apical inflorescences after fruit removal resembled changes observed in axillary buds following release from apical dominance. This suggests that GPA represents a form of bud dormancy, and that dominance is gradually transferred from growing inflorescences to maturing seeds - allowing offspring control over maternal resources, simultaneously restricting offspring number.

Description
Sepsis is a clinical syndrome that can be caused by bacteria or fungi. Early knowledge on the nature of the causative agent is a prerequisite for targeted anti-microbial therapy. Besides currently used detection methods like blood culture and PCR-based assays, the analysis of the transcriptional response of the host to infecting organisms holds great promise. In this study, we aim to examine the transcriptional footprint of infections caused by the bacterial pathogens Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli and the fungal pathogens Candida albicans and Aspergillus fumigatus in a human whole-blood model. Moreover, we use the expression information to build a random forest classifier to determine if the pathogen is bacterial, fungal or neither of the two. After normalizing the transcription intensities using stably expressed reference genes, we filtered the gene set for biomarkers of bacterial or fungal blood infections. This selection is based on differential expression and an additional gene relevance measure. In this way, we identified 38 biomarker genes, including IL6, SOCS3, and IRG1 which were already associated to sepsis by other studies. Using these genes, we trained the classifier and assessed its performance. It yielded a 96% accuracy (sensitivities >93%, specificities >97%) for a 10-fold stratified cross-validation and a 92% accuracy (sensitivities and specificities >83%) for an additional dataset comprising Cryptococcus neoformans infections. Furthermore, the noise-robustness of the classifier suggests high rates of correct class predictions on datasets of new species. In conclusion, this genome-wide approach demonstrates an effective feature selection process in combination with the construction of a well-performing classification model. Further analyses of genes with pathogen-dependent expression patterns can provide insights into the systemic host responses, which may lead to new anti-microbial therapeutic advances.
