Description
How genomic information is selectively utilized to direct spatial and temporal gene expression patterns during differentiation remains to be elucidated but it is clear that regulated changes in higher-order genomic architecture plays a fundamental role. Specifically, long range interactions within and between chromosomes and the position of chromosome territories in the nucleus are controlled by TADs and LADs respectively, but the relationship between these genomic organizers remains poorly understood Overall design: We analyzed the large-scale spatial reorganization of chromatin by generating matched Hi-C and nuclear lamin-chromatin contact datasets throughout a dual adipose/neuronal induction of human primary adipose stem cells. We have mapped Hi-C (TADs) and lamin-associated domains (LADs) in multiple steps during adipose stem cell differentiation to characterize the spatial and temporal link between genomic architecture and gene expression. We identify a new level of 4D genomic organization involving a long-range clustering of individual TADs or TAD pairs into TAD cliques. LADs appear to regulate their formation. (ASCs). We unveil a lineage-specific dynamic assembly and disassembly of repressive cliques of linearly non-contiguous TADs, and a time course-coupled relationship between TAD clique size and lamina association. Our findings reveal a new level of developmental genome organization and provide an overview of large-scale changes in the 4D nucleome during lineage-specific differentiation.

Description
During neonatal development, skeletal muscle grows dramatically by myonuclei accretion to existing fibers and hypertophic growth of fibers with protein synthesis. Overall design: To understand molecular mechanism underlying neonatal muscle growth, we used RNAseq to profile the global program of gene expressions especially involved in myoblast fusion, migration, and muscle fiber growth by itself. We used two biological replicates for each time point.

Description
We show that numerous miRNAs are transcriptionally up-regulated in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) tumors compared with unaffected thyroid tissue. Among the predicted target genes of the three most upregulated miRNAs (miRs 221, 222 and 146b), only less than 15% showed significant downexpression in transcript level between tumor and unaffected tissue. The KIT gene which is known to be downregulated by miRNAs 221 and 222 displayed dramatic loss of transcript and protein in those tumors that had abundant mir-221, mir-222, and mir-146b transcript.

Description
Papillary thyroid cancers (PTC) that invade into local structures are associated with a poor prognosis, but the mechanisms for PTC invasion are incompletely defined limiting the development of new therapies. To characterize biological processes involved in PTC invasion, we analyzed the gene expression profiles of microscopically dissected intratumoral samples from central and invasive regions of seven widely invasive PTCs and normal thyroid tissue by oligonucleotide microarray and performed confirmatory expression and functional studies. In comparison to the central regions of primary PTCs, the invasive fronts overexpressed TGFbeta, NFkappaB and integrin pathway members, and regulators of small G-proteins and CDC42. Moreover, reduced levels of mRNAs encoding proteins involved in cell-cell adhesion and communication were identified, consistent with epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT). To confirm that aggressive PTCs were characterized by EMT, 35 additional PTCs were examined for expression of vimentin, a hallmark of EMT. Overexpression of vimentin was associated with PTC invasion and nodal metastasis. Functional, in vitro studies demonstrated that vimentin was required for the development and maintenance of both a mesenchymal morphology and invasiveness in thyroid cancer cells. We conclude that EMT is a common mechanism of PTC invasion and that vimentin regulates thyroid cancer EMT in vitro.

Description
The majority of NK cells (~90%) are phenotypically characterized as CD56dimCD16+, while the remaining are CD56brightCD16-. The cytotoxic CD56dimCD16+ NK subset expresses higher levels of chemokine receptors, and therefore is preferentially recruited to sites of inflammation. Encounters between CD56dimCD16+ NK cells with target cells and locally secreted inflammatory cytokines synergize to induce activation of this subset, leading to dramatically increased cytotoxic activity against target cells and abundant pro-inflammatory cytokine production often equivalent to that of the CD56brightCD16- population. The early recruitment of activation of CD56dimCD16+ NK cells to sites of inflammation raises many important questions regarding the potential immune functions of these cells that extend beyond their cytotoxic capabilities. This study has sought to elucidate the genetic profile of activated CD56dimCD16+ NK cells via a series of laboratory-based approaches coupled with a bioinformatics persective.
