Description
Polycomb-mediated gene repression plays an important role in adult stem cell maintenance. We knocked out (using the inducible AhCre-LoxP system) Polycomb genes Eed and Ezh2 in the intestine for 6 weeks, after which crypts - the small intestinal stem cell zone - were harvested and RNA sequenced. We found Wnt, Notch and cell cycle pathways to be affected in Eed knockout (KO) but not Ezh2 KO crypts. Direct targets of Eed were determined by comparing this data with ChIP-sequencing. Overall design: Small intestinal crypt mRNA profiles of 6 weeks-induced 12 weeks old Eed KO, Ezh2 KO and WT mice (all triplicates) as well as 10 days-induced Eed KO and WT organoids (duplicates) were generated by RNA sequencing over two runs and using IlluminaHiseq2000 and Hiseq2500.

Description
Since the discovery of induced pluripotent stem cells there has been intense interest in understanding the mechanisms that allow a somatic cell to be reprogrammed back to a pluripotent state. Several groups have studied the alterations in gene expression that occur as somatic cells modify their genome to that of an embryonic stem cell. Underpinning many of the gene expression changes are modifications to the epigenetic profile of the associated chromatin. We have used a large-scale shRNA screen to identify epigenetic modifiers that act as barriers to reprogramming. We have uncovered an important role for TRIM28 in cells resisting transition between somatic and pluripotent states. TRIM28 achieves this by maintaining the H3K9me3 repressed state and keeping endogenous retroviruses silenced. We propose that knockdown of TRIM28 during reprogramming results in more plastic H3K9me3 domains, dysregulation of genes nearby H3K9me3 marks, and up regulation of endogenous retroviruses, thus facilitating the transition through reprogramming. Overall design: Gene expression profiling using high through put sequencing at day 7 of Oct4, Sox2, Klf4 and cMyc (OSKM) expression in mouse embryonic fibroblasts with or without Trim28 / Setdb1 knockdown

Description
Dietary fatty acids have myriads of effects on human health and disease. Many of these effects are likely achieved by altering expression of genes. Several transcription factors have been shown to be responsive to fatty acids, including SREBP-1c, NF-kB, RXRs, LXRs, FXR, HNF4, and PPARs. However, the relative importance of these transcription factors in regulation of gene expression by dietary fatty acids remains unclear. Here, we take advantage of a unique experimental design using synthetic triglycerides composed of one single fatty acid in combination with gene expression profiling to examine the acute effects of individual dietary fatty acids on hepatic gene expression in mice. The dietary interventions were performed in parallel in wild-type and PPAR-/- mice, enabling the determination of the specific contribution of PPAR. Depending on chain length and degree of saturation, dietary fatty acids caused a statistically significant change in expression of over 400 genes. Surprisingly, the far majority of genes regulated by dietary fatty acids in wild-type mice were unaltered in mice lacking PPAR, indicating PPAR-dependent regulation. We conclude that the effects of dietary fatty acids on hepatic gene expression are almost entirely mediated by PPAR, indicating that PPAR dominates fatty acid-dependent gene regulation in liver.

Description
Neuroblastomas are tumors of the developing peripheral sympathetic nervous system, which originates from the neural crest. Twenty percent of neuroblastomas show amplification of the MYCN oncogene, which correlates with poor prognosis. The MYCN transcription factor can activate and repress gene expression. To broaden our insight in the spectrum of genes down-regulated by MYCN, we generated gene expression profiles of the neuroblastoma cell lines SHEP-21N and SKNAS-NmycER, in which MYCN activity can be regulated. In this study, we show that MYCN suppresses the expression of Dickkopf-1 (DKK1) in both cell lines. DKK1 is a potent inhibitor of the wnt/beta-catenin signalling cascade, which is known to function in neural crest cell migration. We generated a DKK1 inducible cell line, IMR32-DKK1, which showed impaired proliferation upon DKK1 expression. Surprisingly, DKK1 expression did not inhibit the canonical wnt/beta-catenin signalling, suggesting a role of DKK1 in an alternative route of the wnt pathway. Gene expression profiling of two IMR32-DKK1 clones showed that only a few genes, amongst which SYNPO2, were up-regulated by DKK1. SYNPO2 encodes an actin-binding protein and was previously found to inhibit proliferation and invasiveness of prostate cancer cells. These results suggest that MYCN might stimulate cell proliferation by inhibiting the expression of DKK1. DKK1 might exert part of its growth suppressive effect by induction of SYNPO2 expression.

Description
The innate immune system is the organisms first line of defense against pathogens. Pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) are responsible for sensing the presence of pathogen-associated molecules. The prototypic PRRs, the membrane-bound receptors of the Toll-like receptor (TLR) family, recognize pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) and initiate an innate immune response through signaling pathways that depend on the adaptor molecules MyD88 and TRIF. Deciphering the differences in the complex signaling events that lead to pathogen recognition and initiation of the correct response remains challenging. Here we report the discovery of temporal changes in the protein signaling components involved in innate immunity. Using an integrated strategy combining unbiased proteomics, transcriptomics and macrophage stimulations with three different PAMPs, we identified differences in signaling between individual TLRs and revealed specifics of pathway regulation at the protein level.

Description
The post-transcriptional fate of messenger RNAs (mRNAs) is largely dictated by their 3'' untranslated regions (3''UTRs), which are defined by cleavage and polyadenylation (CPA) of pre-mRNAs. We used poly(A)-position profiling by sequencing (3P-Seq) to map poly(A) sites at eight developmental stages and tissues in the zebrafish. Analysis of over 60 million 3P-Seq reads substantially increased and improved existing 3''UTR annotations, resulting in confidently identified 3''UTRs for more than 78.79% of the annotated protein-coding genes in zebrafish. Most zebrafish genes undergo alternative CPA with more than a thousand genes using different dominant 3''UTRs at different stages. 3''UTRs tend to be shortest in the ovaries and longest in the brain. Isoforms with some of the shortest 3''UTRs are highly expressed in the ovary yet absent in the maternally contributed RNAs of the embryo, perhaps because their 3''UTRs are too short to accommodate a uridine-rich motif required for stability of the maternal mRNA. At two hours post-fertilization, thousands of unique poly(A) sites appear at locations lacking a typical polyadenylation signal, which suggests a wave of widespread cytoplasmic polyadenylation of mRNA degradation intermediates. Our insights into the identities, formation, and evolution of zebrafish 3''UTRs provide a resource for studying gene regulation during vertebrate development. Overall design: 3P-Seq was used to map the 3'' ends of protein-coding genes in the zebrafish genome
