Description
Reprogramming of cancer cell metabolism toward aerobic glycolysis, i.e. the Warburg effect, is a hallmark of cancer; according to current views, the rationale for selecting such energy-inefficient metabolism is the need to increase cellular biomass to sustain production of daughter cells and proliferation. In this view, metabolic reprogramming is considered as a simple phenotypic endpoint that occurs as a consequence of signal transduction mechanisms, including oncogene-driven nutrient uptake and metabolic rewiring. A newly emerging paradigm is instead that transcriptional networks and oncogenic signaling can also be regulated downstream of metabolic pathways, that assume causative roles in controlling cancer cell behavior, above and beyond their core biochemical function. To explore possible links between glucose metabolism and nuclear gene transcription we compared immortalized mammary epithelial cells (MCF10A) and metastatic breast cancer cells (MDA-MB-231) growing in high glucose or in the presence of a widely used inhibitor of glucose uptake / glucose metabolism, 2-deoxy-glucose (2DG).

Description
YAP1 (Yes-associated protein 1) and TAZ (transcriptional coactivator with PDZ-binding motif, or WWTR1) are nucleo-cytoplasmic shuttling proteins that can function in the nucleus as transcriptional coactivators. Their role in regulating gene transcription has been so far mainly investigated by overexpressing YAP1 or TAZ, while here we sought to determine which genes are regulated by endogenous levels of YAP/TAZ. To this end, we compared MCF10A cells transfected with a control non-targeting siRNA to cells transfected with two independent mixes of siRNA targeting both YAP and TAZ.

Description
In animals, the piRNA pathway preserves the integrity of gametic genomes, guarding them against the activity of mobile genetic elements. This innate immune mechanism relies on distinct genomic loci, termed piRNA clusters, to provide a molecular definition of transposons, enabling their discrimination from genes. piRNA clusters give rise to long, single-stranded precursors which are processed into primary piRNAs through an unknown mechanism. These can engage in an adaptive amplification loop, the ping-pong cycle, to optimize the content of small RNA populations via the generation of secondary piRNAs. Many proteins have been ascribed functions in either primary biogenesis or the ping-pong cycle, though for the most part the molecular functions of proteins implicated in these pathways remain obscure. Here, we link shutdown, a gene previously shown to be required for fertility in Drosophila, to the piRNA pathway. Analysis of knockdown phenotypes in both the germline and somatic compartments of the ovary demonstrate important roles for shutdown in both primary biogenesis and the ping-pong cycle. shutdown is a member of the FKBP family of immunophilins. Shu contains domains implicated in peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase activity and in the binding of HSP90-family chaperones, though the relevance of these domains to piRNA biogenesis is unknown. Overall design: Analysis of mRNA expression in Drosophila OSS cells transfected with GFP dsRNA. One sample and replicate, used to establish the OSS baseline transcriptome in the presence of exogenous RNAi activity.

Description
Combining RNAi in cultured cells and analysis of mutant animals, we probed roles of known piRNA pathway components in the initiation and effector phases of transposon silencing. Overall design: total RNA and RNA associated with Piwi was isolated and size-fractionated by PAGE into 19-29nt. These were processed and sequenced on Illumina Genome Analyzer II.

Description
Salivary glands or larval ovaries were isolated from transgenic flies expressing RNAi targeting Nautilus (control) or linker histone H1 using a Tub-Gal4 driver. Overall design: ~200 larvae were used to isolate salivary glands or ovaries, independently. Total RNA was isolated using Trizol reagent following manufacturer''s guidelines. Then 5 µg of total RNA was separated on a polyacrylamide gel, and 18-29 nt small RNAs were isolated for cloning.
