Description
Currently there is no method available to predict response to farnesyltransferase inhibitors (FTI). We analyzed gene expression profiles from the bone marrow of patients from a phase 2 study of the FTI tipifarnib, in older adults with previously untreated acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The RASGRP1:APTX gene expression ratio was found to predict response to tipifarnib with the greatest accuracy. This two-gene ratio was validated by quantitative PCR (QPCR) in the newly diagnosed AML cohort. We further demonstrated that this classifier could predict response to tipifarnib in an independent set of 54 samples from relapsed or refractory AML, with a negative predictive value (NPV) and positive predictive value (PPV) of 92% and 28%, respectively (odds ratio of 4.4). The classifier also predicted for improved overall survival (154 vs 56 days, p = 0.0001), which was shown to be independent of other prognostic factors including a previously described gene expression classifier predictive of overall survival. Therefore, these data indicate that a two-gene expression assay may have utility in categorizing a population of AML patients who are more likely to respond to tipifarnib.

Illumina HiSeq 2000
Description
Purpose: the goal of this study is to investigate the consequences of USP3 deletion on gene expression in mouse LSK hematopoietic progenitors and in splenic B cells Methods: mRNA profiles of 8 weeks-old wild-type (WT) and ubiquitin specific protease 3 knockout (Usp3-/-) mice were generated by deep sequencing, in duplicate, using Illumina Hiseq2000. The sequence reads that passed quality filters were mapped with TopHat and the gene expressions were calculated using HTSeq-count. qRT–PCR validation was performed using SYBR Green assays Results: We assigned about 8-16 million reads per sample uniquely to a gene of the mouse reference genome (mm9). We identified 23,429 genes in the LSKs, naive B cells and activate B cells of WT and USP3-/- mice using TopHat in combination with HTSeq-count. Comparison of the RNAseq data from LSK with naive or activated B cells show that both the wt and the Usp3-/- LSKs largely exibited a gene expression profile that is specific for wt LSK and distinct from B cells (as supported by statistical significant difference between the transciptional profile of LSK versus naive or activated B cells, p value<0.0001 by Student t test). Comparison of normalized gene expression data for Wt LSKs versus naive B cells of one representative experiment shows Pearson coefficient of r=0.874, and R2=0.763. Distinct LSK-specific expressed genes (such as the MlI receptor and the Kit receptor) and B cells specific genes (such as the MS4A1/CD20 and Spi-B transcription factors) are identified. Expression of a set of 19 genes was assessed by RT-qPCR in three independent LSK mRNA per each genotype. qRT-PCR and the RNA-seq normalized expression data for these genes had a good linear relationship, validating the RNAseq analysis. Comparison of normalized gene expression data for Usp3-/- versus Wt LSK show Pearson coefficient r=0.986; R2=0.9738), naive B cells (Pearson coefficient r=0.987, R2=0.974) and LPS activated B cells (Pearson coefficient r=0.991, R2=0.983). RT-qPCR of a subset of hematopoietic stem cell genes, including Mlp2, ENg, Tek and Fdzl3, show no significant difference beteewn wt and Usp3-/- LSK cells. Less than 100 genes showed differential expression (up or down regulated) between the Wt and Usp3-/- LSK, with a fold change =1.5 and p value <0.05. Conclusions: Our results represent the first detailed analyis of the consequences of USP3 deletion on gene expression in hematopoietic populations such as LSKs progenitors and B cells by genome wide expression profiling in wt and Usp3-/- mice. RNAseq of two freshly isolated biological replicas of sorted LSKs from 8 weeks old Usp3-/- animals showed a very limited number of genes either slighly up or down regulated (<100 out of about 25.000) in Usp3-/- LSKs, none of which are reported to be directly involved in hematopoietic stem cell maintenance or to be linked to premature differentiation. We confirmed that Usp3-/- and wt LSKs express hematopoietic stem cell-specific genes to a similar extent. We conclude that young adult hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (LSKs) perpetuated a stable gene expression program regardless of the homozygous deletion of USP3. Overall design: mRNA profiles of 8 weeks-old wild type (WT) and Usp3-/- mice were generated by deep sequencing, in duplicate, using Illumina Hiseq2000. For each experiment wt n=4, Usp3-/- n=4 mice were analized. FACS sorted cells from from individual animals were pooled and subjected to deep sequencing. Cells were: LSK (Lin- Sca1+ cKit+) from bone marrow, sorted naive B cells from spleens (CD19+) and activated B cells harvested and FACS sorted after 4 days stimulation with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in culture.

Description
Organoids derived from human pluripotent stem cells recapitulate the early three-dimensional organization of human brain, but whether they establish the epigenomic and transcriptional programs essential for brain development is unknown. We compared epigenomic and gene regulatory features in cerebral organoids and human fetal brain, using genome-wide, base resolution DNA methylome and transcriptome sequencing. Transcriptomic dynamics in organoids faithfully modeled gene expression trajectories in early-to-mid human fetal brains. We found that early non-CG methylation accumulation at super-enhancers in both fetal brain and organoids marks forthcoming transcriptional repression in the fully developed brain. 74% of 35,627 demethylated regions identified during organoid differentiation overlapped with fetal brain regulatory elements. Interestingly, pericentromeric repeats showed widespread demethylation in multiple types of in vitro human neural differentiation models but not in fetal brain. Our study reveals that organoids recapitulate many epigenomic features of mid-fetal human brain and also identified novel non-CG methylation signatures of brain development.

Description
A phase I trial of a SRC kinase Inhibitor, dasatinib, in combination with paclitaxel and carboplatin in patients with advanced or recurrent ovarian cancer. Background: We conducted a phase I study of dasatinib, an oral SRC tyrosine kinase inhibitor, in combination with paclitaxel and carboplatin in advanced and recurrent epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). Methods: The primary objective was to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD). Secondary objectives included toxicity, response rate (RR), pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics. Based on the 3+3 design, cohorts of 3-6 pts received paclitaxel 175 mg/m2 and carboplatin AUC 6 every three weeks with escalating doses of dasatinib (100, 120, 150 mg daily), followed by an 8 patient expansion cohort. Results: Twenty patients were enrolled between 06/07 and 12/09. The median age was 61 yrs (42-82) with a median of 2 prior regimens (0-6), and 71% had platinum-sensitive disease. There were 3-6 pts in each cohort, and 8 in the expansion cohort. Pharmacokinetics were observed over the first 2 cycles of therapy. One DLT was observed in the 100 mg dasatinib cohort (grade 3 myalgia. Other toxicities in all cycles included neutropenia (95% grade 3-4), thrombocytopenia (35% grade 3-4), and fatigue (10% grade 3). The RR was 45% (complete responses, 3/18(17%); partial responses, 5/18(28%)) and 56% (10/18) had stable disease. The PFS6-month actuarial estimate was 86%. The median PFS and OS were 7.8 and 16.2 months, respectively. Conclusions: Due to the high incidence of myelosuppression with subsequent cycles the recommended phase II dose is 150 mg daily of dasatinib in combination with paclitaxel and carboplatin. The combination was safe with evidence of clinical activity in advanced EOC.

Description
Thymic lymphomas develop spontaneously in LN3 mice. As for T-ALL in general, ex vivo LN3 lymphoma cells require stromal support to remain viable in culture. We found that primary stromal cells from thymic lymphomas, but not from wild-type thymi, support ex vivo lymphoma survival. By FACS sorting stromal populations, we identified dendritic cells in the tumor microenvironment as the cells capable of supporting lymphoma survival.

Description
Developmental transitions can be described in terms of morphology and individual genes expression patterns, but also in terms of global transcriptional and epigenetic changes. Most of the large-scale studies of such transitions, however, have only been possible in synchronized cell culture systems. Here we generate a cell type specific transcriptome of an adult stem-cell lineage in the Arabidopsis leaf using RNA sequencing and microarrays. RNA profiles of stomatal entry, commitment, and differentiating cells, as well as of mature stomata and the entire aerial epidermis give a comprehensive view of the developmental progression.
