Description
A number of inhibitors of chemokine CCL2 and its receptor CCR2 are in development and may find application for treating a range of inflammatory conditions, including autoimmune and viral arthritides. Herein we sought to determine the effect of CCR2 deficiency on arthritis caused by an arthritogenic alphavirus, Chikungunya virus.

Description
Methylation at 5-cytosine (5-mC) is a fundamental epigenetic DNA modification associated recently with cardiac disease. In contrast, the role of 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5-hmC) – 5-mC's oxidation product – is unknown in the context of the heart. Here, we assess the hydroxymethylome in embryonic, neonatal, adult and hypertrophic mouse cardiomyocytes, showing that dynamic modulation of hydroxymethylated DNA is associated with specific transcriptional networks during heart development and failure. DNA hydroxymethylation marks gene bodies of highly expressed genes and distal regulatory regions with enhanced activity. Pathological hypertrophy is characterized by a partial shift towards a fetal-like distribution pattern. We further demonstrate a regulatory function of TET2 and provide evidence that the expression of key cardiac genes, such as Myh7 is modulated by TET2-mediated 5-hmC deposition on the gene body and at enhancers in cardiac cells. We thus provide the first genome-wide analysis of 5-hmC in the cardiomyocyte, and establish the role of this epigenetic modification in heart development and disease Overall design: Profiling of the transcriptome of embryonic, neonatal, adult, 1 week hypertrophic cardiomyocytes, sh-control and sh-TET2 cardiomyocytes. Two biological replicates were profiled for each cell type.

Description
A significant proportion of patients with oestrogen receptor (ER) positive breast cancers (BC) develop resistance to endocrine treatments (ET) and relapse with metastatic disease. Bone is the most common metastatic site in ER+ patients, however bone metastases are technically challenging to biopsy and analyse. Difficulties concern both tumour tissue acquisition and techniques for analysis and RNA extractions. Patient-derived xenografts (PDX) of BC bone metastases have not been reported yet. For the first time we established PDX models from bone metastatic biopsies of patients progressing on ET and treated by vertebroplasty. PDX models were analysed at transcriptomic level and compared to patient’s early primary tumours to identify new therapeutic targets associated with endocrine resistance in the metastatic setting.

Description
Heterochromatin protein 1a (HP1a) is a chromatin associated protein that has been well studied in many model organisms, such as Drosophila, where it is a determining factor for classical heterochromatin. HP1a is associated with the two histone methyltransferases SETDB1 and Su(var)3-9, which mediate H3K9 methylation marks and participate in the establishment and spreading of HP1a enriched chromatin. While HP1a is generally regarded as a factor that represses gene transcription, several reports have linked HP1a binding to active genes, and in some cases, it has been shown to stimulate transcriptional activity. To clarify the function of HP1a in transcription regulation and its association with Su(var)3-9, SETDB1 and the chromosome 4 specific protein POF, we conducted genome-wide expression studies and combined the results with available binding data in Drosophila melanogaster. The results suggested that HP1a has a repressing function on chromosome 4, where it preferentially targets non-ubiquitously expressed genes (NUEGs), and a stimulating function in pericentromeric regions. Further, we showed that the effects of SETDB1 and Su(var)3-9 are similar to HP1a, and on chromosome 4, Su(var)3-9, SETDB1 and HP1a target the same genes. In contrast, transposons are repressed by HP1a and Su(var)3-9 but are un-affected by SETDB1 and POF. In addition, we found that the binding level and expression effects of HP1a are affected by gene length. Our results indicate that genes have adapted to be properly expressed in their local chromatin environment.

Description
Human mesenchymal stem cells or multipotent stromal cells (MSCs) are of interest for clinical therapy, in part because of their capacity for proliferation and differentiation. However, results from clinical trials and in vitro models have been variable, possibly due to MSC heterogeneity and a lack of standardization between MSC in vitro expansion protocols. Here we defined changes in MSCs during expansion in vitro. In low density cultures, MSCs expand through distinct lag, exponential growth and stationary phases. We assayed cultures of passage 2 human MSCs from three donors at low density (50 cells/cm2) at about 5% confluence on Day 2 and after the cultures had expanded to about 70% confluence on Day 7. On Day 2 genes involved in cell division were up-regulated. On Day 7 genes for cell development were up-regulated. The variations between three donors were less than the variation within the expansion of MSCs from a single donor. The microarray data for selected genes were confirmed by real-time PCR, ELISA and FACScan. About 50% of cells at Day 2 were in S-phase compared to 10% at Day 7. The results demonstrated major differences in early and late stage cultures of MSCs that should be considered in using the cells in experiments and clinical applications.
