Description
Androgen receptor (AR) signaling is a distinctive feature of prostate cancer (PC) and represents the major therapeutic target for the treatment of metastatic disease. Though highly effective, AR antagonism has the potential to generate tumors that bypass a functional requirement for AR activity. We show here that a phenotypic shift has occurred in metastatic PCs with the emer-gence of a double-negative AR-null neuroendocrine-null phenotype that is notable for MAPK and FGF pathway activity. To identify mechanisms capable of sustaining PC survival, we gener-ated a model system designated AR program-independent prostate cancer (APIPC) which re-sists AR-targeted therapeutics, lacks neuroendocrine features, expresses high levels of FGF8 and the ID1 oncogene, and activates MAPK signaling. Pharmacological blockade of MAPK or FGF signaling inhibited APIPC tumor growth, supporting FGF/MAPK as a therapeutic avenue for treating AR-null PC. Overall design: RNA sequencing of human prostate tumor cell lines using the Illumina TruSeq Library prep and sequenced on Illumina HiSeq 2500.

Description
Hdac3 is an important target of HDAC inhibitors used in the treatment of cutaneous T cell lymphoma. In order to gain an understanding of Hdac3 function in T cells,we deleted Hdac3 from early mouse thymocytes using LCK-Cre. Hdac3 deletion resulted in a loss of single positive thymocytes due to a defect in positive selection at the double positive (DP) stage of thymocyte development. To better characterize this defect, we sorted the DP1 and DP2 populations to for gene expression profiling. Overall design: Total RNA was extracted from DP1 (GFP+CD4+CD8+CD5loTCRblo) or DP2 (GFP+CD4+CD8+CD5hiTCRbint) thymocytes isolated by FACS from Hdac3+/+ or Hdac3F/F LCK-Cre+ animals. Libraries were constructed from rRNA-depleted total RNA pools to identify altered gene expression in DP populations following Hdac3 deletion.

Description
The scaffold attachment factors SAFB1 and SAFB2 are paralogs, which are involved in cell cycle regulation, apoptosis, differentiation, and stress response. They have been shown to function as estrogen receptor co-repressors, and there is evidence for a role in breast tumorigenesis. To identify their endogenous target genes in MCF-7 breast cancer cells, we utilized gene expression array analysis, which was set up in a two-by-four design, with vehicle and estrogen treatment, and control, SAFB1, SAFB2, and SAFB1/SAFB2 siRNA as variables. Using custom chips containing 1.5 kb upstream regulatory region, we identified 541 SAFB1/SAFB2 binding sites in promoters of known genes, with significant enrichment on chromosome 1 and 6. Gene expression analysis revealed that the majority of target genes were induced in the absence of SAFB1 or SAFB2, and less were repressed. In contrast to SAFB2, which shared most of its target genes with SAFB1, SAFB1 had many unique target genes, most of them involved in regulation of the immune system. A subsequent analysis of the estrogen treatment group revealed that twelve percent of estrogen-regulated genes were dependent on SAFB1, with the majority being estrogen-repressed genes. These were primarily genes involved in apoptosis, such as BBC3, NEDD9, and OPG. Thus, this study confirms SAFB1/SAFB2s primary role as co-repressors, and also uncovers a previously unknown role for SAFB1 in regulation of immune genes, and in estrogen-mediated repression of genes.

Description
Atherosclerosis is a transmural chronic inflammatory condition of small and large arteries that is associated with adaptive immune responses at all disease stages. However, impacts of adaptive immune reactions on clinically apparent atherosclerosis such as intima lesion (plaque) rupture, thrombosis, myocardial infarction, and aneurysm largely remain to be identified. It is increasingly recognized that leukocyte infiltrates in plaque, media, and adventitia are distinct but their specific roles have not been defined. To map these infiltrates, we employed laser capture microdissection (LCM) to isolate the three arterial wall laminae using apoE-/- mouse aorta as a model. RNA from LCM-separated tissues was extracted and large scale whole genome expression microarrays were prepared. We observed that the quality of the resulting gene expression maps was compromised by tissue RNA carried over from adjacent laminae during LCM. To account for these flaws, we established quality controls and algorithms to improve the predictive power of LCM-derived microarray data. Our approach creates robust transcriptome atlases of normal and atherosclerotic aorta. Assessing LCM transcriptomes for immunity-related mRNAs indicated markedly distinctive gene expression patterns in the three laminae of the atherosclerotic aorta. These mouse mRNA expression data banks can now be mined to address a wide range of questions in cardiovascular biology.

Description
Advances in pluripotent stem cell and reprogramming technologies have given hope of generating hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) in culture. To succeed, greater understanding of the self-renewing HSC during human development is required. We discovered that glycophosphatidylinositol-anchored surface protein GPI-80 (Vanin 2) defines a distinct subpopulation of human fetal hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPC) with self-renewal ability. CD34+CD90+CD38-GPI-80+ HSPC were the sole population that maintained proliferative potential and undifferentiated state in bone marrow stroma co-culture, and engrafted in immunodeficient mice. GPI-80 expression also enabled tracking of HSC migration between human fetal hematopoietic niches. The most highly enriched surface protein in GPI-80+ HSPC as compared to their progeny was Integrin alpha-M (ITGAM), which in leukocytes cooperates with GPI-80 to support migration. Knockdown of either GPI-80 or ITGAM was sufficient to perturb undifferentiated HSPC in stroma co-culture. These findings indicate that human fetal HSC utilize common mechanisms with leukocytes for cell-cell interactions governing HSC self-renewal.
