Description
Here we show that platinum-resistant ovarian cancer cells also show reduced cholesterol biosynthesis, and mostly rely on uptake of exogenous cholesterol for their needs. Expression of FDPS and OSC, enzymes involved in cholesterol synthesis, are decreased both in drug-resistant cells and upon TRAP1 silencing, whereas the expression of LDL receptor, the main mediator of extracellular cholesterol uptake, is increased. Strikingly, treatment with different statins to inhibit cholesterol synthesis reduces cisplatin-induced apoptosis, whereas silencing of LIPG, an enzyme involved in lipid metabolism, increases sensitivity to the drug.

The conserved multi-subunit Ccr4-Not complex regulates gene expression in diverse ways. In this work, we characterize the suppression of temperature sensitivity associated with a mutation in the gene encoding the scaffold subunit of the Ccr4-Not complex, NOT1, by the deletion of SPT3.

Description
Approximately 75% of the human genome is transcribed, the majority of which does not encode protein. However, most noncoding RNA (ncRNA) is rapidly degraded after transcription, and relatively few have established functions, questioning the significance of this observation. Here we show that esBAF, a SWI/SNF family nucleosome remodeling factor, suppresses transcription of ncRNAs from approximately 57,000 nucleosome-depleted regions (NDRs) throughout the genome of mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs). We show that esBAF functions both to keep NDRs nucleosome-free and to promote elevated nucleosome occupancy adjacent to NDRs. Reduction of adjacent nucleosome occupancy upon esBAF depletion is strongly correlated with ncRNA expression, suggesting that flanking nucleosomes form a barrier to pervasive transcription. Upon forcing nucleosome occupancy near an NDR using a nucleosome-positioning sequence, we find that esBAF is no longer required to silence transcription. These data reveal a novel role for esBAF in suppressing pervasive transcription from open chromatin regions in ESCs. Overall design: Examine nucleosome occupancy (MNase-Seq) and transcript production (CapSeq and RNA-Seq) in EGFP KD and Smarca4 KD ESCs

Description
In the central nervous system (CNS), the microRNAs (miRNAs), small endogenous RNAs exerting a negative post-transcriptional regulation on mRNAs, are involved in major functions, such as neurogenesis, and synaptic plasticity. Moreover, they are essential to define the specific transcriptome of the tissues and cell types. However, few studies were performed to determine the miRNome of the different structures of the rat CNS, even through rat is a major model in neuroscience. We determined the miRNome profile of the hippocampus, the cortex, the striatum, the spinal cord and the olfactory bulb, by small RNA-Seq. We found a total of 365 known miRNAs' and 90 novel miRNAs expressed in the CNS of the rat. Novel miRNAs seemed to be important in defining structure-specific miRNomes. Differential analysis showed that several miRNAs were specifically enriched/depleted in these CNS structures. Then, we correlated miRNAs' expression with the expression of their mRNA targets by mRNA-Seq. This analysis suggests that the transcriptomic identity of each structure is regulated by specific miRNAs. Altogether, these results suggest the critical role played by these enriched/depleted miRNAs in the functional identities of CNS structures. Overall design: miRNA and mRNA profile of 5 structures of the central nervous system of rat, for each structurewe analyzed three biological replicates

Description
Yin Yang 1 (YY1) is a multifunctional zinc-finger-containing transcription factor that plays crucial roles in numerous biological processes by selectively activating or repressing transcription, depending upon promoter contextual differences and specific protein interactions. In mice, Yy1 null mutants die early in gestation while Yy1 hypomorphs die at birth from lung defects. We studied how the epithelial-specific inactivation of Yy1 impacts on lung development. The Yy1 mutation in lung epithelium resulted in neonatal death due to respiratory failure. It impaired tracheal cartilage formation, altered cell differentiation, abrogated lung branching, and caused airway dilation similar to those seen in human congenital cystic lung diseases. The cystic lung phenotype in Yy1 mutants can be explained by the reduced expression of Shh in lung endoderm, a transcriptional target of YY1, and the subsequent derepression of mesenchymal Fgf10 expression. Accordingly, SHH supplementation partially rescued the lung phenotype in vitro. Analysis of human lung tissues revealed decreased YY1 expression in children with pleuropulmonary blastoma (PPB), a rare pediatric lung tumor arising during fetal development and associated with DICER1 mutations. No evidence for a potential genetic interplay between murine Dicer and Yy1 genes during lung morphogenesis was observed. However, the cystic lung phenotype resulting from the epithelial inactivation of Dicer function mimics the Yy1 lung malformations with similar changes in Shh and Fgf10 expression. Together, our data demonstrate the critical requirement for YY1 in lung morphogenesis and identify Yy1 mutant mice as a potential model for studying the genetic basis of PPB.

Description
Diminishing potential to replace damaged tissues is a hallmark for ageing of somatic stem cells, but the mechanisms leading to ageing remain elusive. We present a proteome-wide atlas of age-associated alterations in human haematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HPCs) along with five other cell types that constitute the bone marrow niche. For each, the abundance of a large fraction of the ~12,000 proteins identified was assessed in a cohort of healthy human subjects from different age. As the HPCs became older, pathways in central carbon metabolism exhibited features reminiscent of the Warburg effect where glycolytic intermediates are rerouted towards anabolism. Simultaneously, altered abundance of early regulators of HPC differentiation revealed a reduced functionality and a bias towards myeloid differentiation at the expense of lymphoid development. Ageing caused significant alterations in the bone marrow niche too, such as functionality of the pathways involved in HPC homing and lineage differentiation. The data represents a valuable resource for further in-depth mechanistic analyses, and for validation of knowledge gained from animal models. Overall design: RNA-seq samples extracted from human bone marrow, from 6 cell populations (HPC, LYM, MON, ERP, GRA, MSC). Technical replicates are included for each donor and cell type. Technical replicates were produced by making independent libraries from the same RNA.
