View SamplesMicroarray analysis and quantitative real-time PCR revealed that TB40E infection of DCs led to changes of the gene expression pattern. A variety of pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines (CXCL10, CXCL11, CCL5), TLR3 and genes whose products function downstream of the TLR3 signalling pathway (e.g. IFN-, IFN-) were significantly upregulated.
Toll-like receptor 3 has no critical role during early immune response of human monocyte-derived dendritic cells after infection with the human cytomegalovirus strain TB40E.

View SamplesHeterochromatin-protein 1 (HP1) is a functionally diverse family of proteins. In particular, Drosophila dHP1c forms a complex with the transcription factors WOC and ROW (dHP1EU) that localizes at euchromatin and regulates gene expression.

View SamplesTranscriptional regulation by chromatin is a highly dynamic process directed through the recruitment and coordinated action of epigenetic modifiers and readers of these modifications. Using an unbiased proteomic approach to find interactors of H3K36me3, a modification enriched on active chromatin, here we identify PWWP2A and HDAC2 among the top interactors. PWWP2A and its paralog PWWP2B form a stable complex with NuRD subunits MTA1/2/3:HDAC1/2:RBBP4/7, but not with MBD2/3, p66a/ß, and CHD3/4. PWWP2A competes with MBD3 for binding to MTA1, thus defining a new variant NuRD complex that is mutually exclusive with the MBD2/3-containing NuRD. In mESCs, PWWP2A/B is most enriched at highly transcribed genes. Loss of PWWP2A/B leads to increases in histone acetylation predominantly at highly expressed genes, accompanied by decreases in Pol II elongation. Collectively, these findings suggest a role for PWWP2A/B in regulating transcription through the fine-tuning of histone acetylation dynamics at actively transcribed genes. Overall design: In order to explore the influence of PWWP2A/B on nascent transcription, we isolated the 4sU-labelled nascent transcripts, followed by deep sequencing. Three cell lines, E14, PWWP2A KO, and PWWP2A/B double knockout, and three biological replicates.
A variant NuRD complex containing PWWP2A/B excludes MBD2/3 to regulate transcription at active genes.

View SamplesDC-SIGN is a C-type lectin expressed by dendritic cells (DCs) that binds HIV-1, sequestering it within multivesicular bodies to facilitate transmission to CD4+ T cells. Here we characterize the molecular basis of signalling through DC-SIGN by large-scale gene expression profiling and phosphoproteome analysis. Solitary DC-SIGN activation leads to a phenotypically disparate transcriptional program from Toll-like receptor (TLR) triggering with downregulation of MHC II, CD86, and interferon response genes and with induction of the TLR negative regulator ATF3. Phosphoproteome analysis reveals DC-SIGN signals through the leukemia-associated Rho guanine nucleotide exchange factor (LARG) to induce Rho activity. This LARG activation also occurs on DC HIV exposure and is required for effective HIV viral synapse formation. Taken together HIV mediated DC-SIGN signalling provides a mechanism by which HIV evades the immune response yet induces viral spread.
Activation of the lectin DC-SIGN induces an immature dendritic cell phenotype triggering Rho-GTPase activity required for HIV-1 replication.

View SamplesAnaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) is expressed in around 60% of glioblastomas and conveys tumorigenic function. Therefore, ALK inhibitory strategies with alectinib were investigated in glioblastoma cells. We demonstrated that alectinib inhibited proliferation and clonogenicity of ALK expressing glioblastoma initiating cells, whereas cells without ALK expression or after ALK depletion via knockdown showed primary resistance against alectinib. The aim of this analysis was to investigate molecular mechanisms of alectinib mediated treatment effects in the ALK expressing S24 cells, which represent a primary glioblastoma cell culture, and after knockdown of ALK.
cMyc and ERK activity are associated with resistance to ALK inhibitory treatment in glioblastoma.
