Description
Next-generation sequencing (NGS) has revolutionized systems-based analysis of gene expression. The goals of this study are to compare the different transcripts between control or RBM3 knockdown in the neural stem cells when the maternal hypothermia was induced. Overall design: Methods: the in utero electroporation was employed to introduce the RBM3 knockdown plasimds or control plasmids into the E13 embryonic cortex. and then the GFP+ Neural stem cell isolated from E15 mice by using FACS. RNA used for global transcriptome analysis were extracted from these GFP+ neural stem cells and sequenced by Hiseq 2500. Significantly differentially expressed genes were identified when we compared Normalized Reads Count between groups with p < 0.05 and |Log2FoldChange| > 1.

Description
The Dcp2 and Nudt16 Nudix hydrolases, are mRNA decapping enzymes that preferentially modulate stability of a subset of mRNAs. Here we report Nudt3 is a third Nudix protein that possess mRNA decapping activity in cells and is a modulator of cell migration in MCF-7 breast cancer cells. Genome-wide analysis of Nudt3 compromised cells identified increases in mRNAs involved in cell motility including integrin ß6, lipocalin-2 and fibronectin. The increase in mRNA levels was dependent on Nudt3 decapping activity where integrin ß6 and lipocalin-2 were modulated directly through mRNA stability, while fibronectin was indirectly controlled. Moreover, increased cell migration observed in Nudt3 depleted cells was mediated through the extracellular integrin ß6 and fibronectin protein nexus. We conclude, Nudt3 is an mRNA decapping enzyme that orchestrates expression of a subset of mRNAs to modulate cell migration and further substantiates the existence of multiple decapping enzymes functioning in distinct cellular pathways in mammals. Overall design: Stably transformed MCF-7 cell lines constitutively expressing either a short hairpin RNA (shRNA) directed against Nudt3 (Nudt3KD) or a non-targeted control shRNA (ConKD) were used, with three replicate cultures used per group (n=3).

Description
RAS oncogenic mutations are common in human cancers, but RAS proteins have been difficult to target. We sought to identify pharmacological agents to block the RAS oncogenic signaling by a distinct mechanism. Since the biological activity of RAS proteins rely upon lipid modifications and RAS regulates lipid metabolisms in cancer cells, we screened a bioactive lipid library using a RAS specific cell viability assay. We report the discovery of a new class of inhibitors for RAS transformation. Compounds in the class represented by endocannabinoid N-arachidonoyl dopamine (NADA) can induce cell oncosis, independent of its ability to engage cannabinoid receptors. Further analyses show that NADA is more active in inhibiting the NRAS transformation and signaling than that of KRAS4B. Mechanistically, NADA blocks the plasma membrane translocation of NRAS, but not that of KRAS4B. In addition, NADA inhibits the plasma membrane translocation and neoplastic transformation of oncogenic KRAS4A. Interestingly, NADA also redistributes the cytoplasmic NRAS to the Golgi apparatus in a palmitoylation-dependent manner. The results indicate that NADA inhibits NRAS and KRAS4A plasma membrane translocation by targeting a novel molecular process. The new findings would help to develop novel targeted therapies for a broad range of human cancers.

Description
Mutations in MSX1 cause craniofacial developmental defects, including tooth agenesis, in humans and mice. Previous studies suggest that Msx1 activates Bmp4 expression in the developing tooth mesenchyme to drive early tooth organogenesis. Whereas Msx1-/- mice exhibit developmental arrest of all tooth germs at the bud stage, however, mice with neural crest-specific inactivation of Bmp4 (Bmp4ncko/ncko), which lack Bmp4 expression in the developing tooth mesenchyme, showed developmental arrest of only mandibular molars. We recently demonstrated that deletion of Osr2, which encodes a zinc finger transcription factor expressed in a lingual-to-buccal gradient in the developing tooth bud mesenchyme, rescued molar tooth morphogenesis in both Msx1-/- and Bmp4ncko/ncko mice. In this study, through RNA-seq analyses of the developing tooth mesenchyme in mutant and wildtype embryos, we found that Msx1 and Osr2 have opposite effects on expression of several secreted Wnt antagonists in the tooth bud mesenchyme. Remarkably, both Dkk2 and Sfrp2 exhibit Osr2-dependent preferential expression on the lingual side of the tooth bud mesenchyme and expression of both genes was up-regulated and expanded into the tooth bud mesenchyme in Msx1-/- and Bmp4ncko/ncko mutant embryos. We show that pharmacological activation of canonical Wnt signaling by either lithium chloride (LiCl) treatment or by inhibition of Dkk in utero was sufficient to rescue mandibular molar tooth morphogenesis in Bmp4ncko/ncko mice. Furthermore, whereas inhibition of Dkk alone was insufficient to rescue tooth morphogenesis in Msx1-/- mice, pharmacological inhibition of Dkk in combination with genetic inactivation of Sfrp2 and Sfrp3 rescued maxillary molar morphogenesis in Msx1-/- mice. Together, these data reveal a novel mechanism that the Bmp4-Msx1 pathway drives tooth organogenesis by activating Wnt signaling via regulation of the secreted Wnt antagonists. Overall design: E14 mouse embryos tooth germs were micro-dissceted by LCM, mandibular molar and maxillary molar were seperated, 3 pairs of control and mutant samples were pooled for the RNA extraction

Description
Tumor ecosystems are composed of multiple cell types that communicate by ligand-receptor interactions. Targeting ligand-receptor interactions, for instance with immune check-point inhibitors, can provide significant benefit for patients. However, our knowledge of which interactions occur in a tumor and how these interactions affect outcome is still limited. We present an approach to characterize communication by ligand-receptor interactions across all cell types in a microenvironment using single-cell RNA sequencing. We apply this approach to identify and compare ligand-receptor interactions present in six syngeneic mouse tumor models. To identify interactions potentially associated with outcome, we regress interactions against phenotypic measurements of tumor growth rate. In addition, we quantify ligand-receptor interactions between T-cell subsets and their relation to immune infiltration using a publicly available human melanoma data-set. Overall, this approach provides a tool for studying cell-cell interactions, their variability across tumors, and their relationship to outcome. Overall design: We used three different types of immuno-competent inbred mouse strains: BALB/c, and A/J z. All animals enrolled in our study were 6-8 weeks old female mice that were housed in vivarium under specific pathogen free conditions in cages of up to 5 animals and receiving special rodent diet (Teklad). We implanted two mice for each syngeneic model resulting in a total of 12 samples. Each mouse tumor was harvested when the tumor size reached 100 – 200 mm3. Each sample was minced and digested with reagents from Mouse Tumor Dissociation Kit (Miltenyi) according to the manufacturer's instructions. Cells were resuspended at 2x105 cells/mL in PBS-0.04% BSA. Each sample was processed individually and run in technical duplicates. For each sample (except CT26 and MC-38) one replicate was enriched for CD45 positive cells. Live CD45 positive cells were sorted with BD Aria after staining with FITC-CD45 (Biolegend) and 7-AAD. Single cell suspensions of all samples were resuspended in PBS-0.04% BSA at 5x105 cells/mL and barcoded with a 10x Chromium Controller (10x Genomics). In total, this procedure resulted in 24 samples.
