Description
In this study, the prognostic properties of miR-205 expression levels are investigated in a well-documented prostate cancer cohort. We show that miR-205 is correlated to shortened overall survival, significantly dividing the PCa patients into high and low risk groups. Furthermore, miR-205 is shown to inversely correlate to occurrence of metastases. In situ hybridization is also performed, demonstrating high miR-205 expression in the basal cells of benign prostate tissue glands. A RIP-Chip assay using an AGO2 antibody was implemented and the miR-205 targets identified were found to be enriched in MAPK/ERK, Toll-like receptor and IL-6 signaling pathways. We also found individual targets involved in cancer and androgen receptor signaling. Ectopic levels of miR-205 are shown to decrease the level of androgen receptor both at the mRNA and protein levels in prostate cancer cell lines. This is further corroborated in the prostate cancer cohort were miR-205 expression levels in the prostatic tissues are found to inversely correlate to assessment of androgen receptor (AR) immunostaining and to serum levels of PSA, a protein regulated by AR signaling. The level of miR-205 is also found to be significantly lower in castration resistant prostate cancer patients than in hormone nave patients. Our data indicates that miR-205 is regulated by androgens and act by different mechanisms in androgen depleted settings, e.g. giving opposite effects on adhesion. Taken together these findings imply that miR-205 might have therapeutic potential especially for the castration resistant and currently untreatable form of prostate cancer.

Description
Previous lineage analyses have shown that retinal progenitor cells (RPCs) are multipotent throughout development, and expression profiling studies have shown a great deal of molecular heterogeneity among RPCs. To determine if the molecular heterogeneity predicts that an RPC will produce particular types of progeny, clonal lineage analysis was used to investigate the progeny of a subset of RPCs, those that express the basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factor, Olig2. In contrast to the large and complex set of clones generated by viral marking of random embryonic RPCs, the embryonic Olig2+ RPCs underwent terminal divisions, producing small clones with primarily two of the five cell types being made by the pool of RPCs at that time. The embryonically produced cell types made by Olig2+ RPCs were cone photoreceptors and horizontal cell (HC) interneurons. Moreover, the embryonic Olig2+ RPC did not make the later Olig2+ RPC. The later, postnatal Olig2+ RPCs also made terminal divisions, which were biased towards production of rod photoreceptors and amacrine cell (AC) interneurons. These data indicate that the multipotent progenitor pool is made up of distinctive types of RPCs, which have biases towards producing subsets of retinal neurons in a terminal division, with the types of neurons produced varying over time. This strategy is similar to that of the developing Drosophila melanogaster ventral nerve cord, with the Olig2+ cells behaving as ganglion mother cells.

Description
Myelin-reactive T cells have been identified in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) and healthy subjects with comparable frequencies, but the contribution of these autoreactive T cells to disease pathology remains unknown. A total of 13,324 T cell libraries generated from blood of 23 patients and 22 healthy controls were interrogated for reactivity to myelin antigens. Libraries derived from CCR6+ myelin-reactive T cells from patients with MS exhibited significantly enhanced production of IFN-?, IL-17, and GM-CSF compared to healthy controls. Single-cell clones isolated by MHC/peptide tetramers from CCR6+ T cell libraries also secreted more pro-inflammatory cytokines while clones isolated from controls secreted more IL-10. The transcriptomes of myelin-specific CCR6+ T cells from patients with MS were distinct from those derived from healthy controls, and of note, were enriched in Th17-induced experimental autoimmune encephalitis (EAE) gene signatures and gene signatures derived from Th17 cells isolated other human autoimmune diseases. These data, although not casual, imply that functional differences between antigen specific T cells from MS and healthy controls is fundamental to disease development and support the notion that IL-10 production from myelin-reactive T cells may act to limit disease progression, or even pathogenesis. Overall design: Four conditions of purified T cells with between 3 and 5 replicates per condition

Description
Lymphoblastoid cell lines (LCLs), originally collected as renewable sources of DNA, are now being used as a model system to study genotype-phenotype relationships in human cells. These cell lines have been used to search for genetic variants that are associated with drug response as well as with more basic cellular traits such as RNA levels. In setting out to extend such studies by searching for genetic variants contributing to drug response, we observed that phenotypes in LCLs were, in our lab and others, significantly affected by experimental confounders (i.e. in vitro growth rate, metabolic state, and relative levels of the Epstein-Barr virus used to transform the cells). As we did not find any SNPs associated with genome-wide significance to drug response, we evaluated whether incorporating RNA expression levels (and eQTLs) in the analysis could increase power to detect such effects. As previously shown, cis-acting eQTLs were detectable for a sizeable fraction of RNAs and baseline levels of many RNAs predicted response to several drugs. However, we found only limited evidence that SNPs influenced drug response through their effect on expression of RNA. Efforts to use LCLs to map genes underlying cellular traits will require great care to control experimental confounders, unbiased methods for integrating and interpreting such multi-dimensional data, and much larger sample sizes than have been applied to date.
