Description
Subclassification of lymphoid neoplasms is often based on the presumed cell of origin based on T and B progenitor gene expression and the effect of cell lineage on influencing functional characteristics such as aggression and self-renewal capacity is largely unknown, accounted for in part, by lack of experimental models to address these questions. Here, we have used transgenic zebrafish to create the first models of Myc-induced B-ALL and mixed phenotypic B/T-ALL, opening new avenues for studying the these leukemias in the zebrafish. Our work has utilized syngeneic strain zebrafish, limiting dilution cell transplantation, and the widely reported rag2-Myc transgenic model to provide new understanding of how strain differences can underlie leukemia onset in the zebrafish model. Even more importantly, our work now for the first time, has allowed assessment of cell lineage on dictating aggression and leukemia stem cell frequency independent of the underlying oncogenic driver. In total, our work uncoveres that T-ALLs are more aggressive and have higher numbers of leukemia stem cells when compared with B-ALL and mixed phenotypic ALL. Furthermore, analysis of our biphenotypic B/T-ALL suggests that B cell pathways lock cells in less aggressive and lower stem cell fates and are dominant in regulating these processes when T cell pathways are co-regulated within ALL cells. Overall design: The goal of our study is to determine the transcriptional profiles of high and low self-renewing capacity tumors. 20 samples total: 11 unique samples (9 samples with biological replicates), 6 high self-renewing tumors (>1% cells could initiate leukemia) and 5 low self-renewing tumors (<1% of cells could initiate leukemia).

Description
Mature NK and T-cell lymphomas are occasionally encountered in Asia but are very rare in Western populations. In part due to its rarity, little is known about this group of neoplasms, and despite being rather different disease entities, they are all treated similarly but with diverse clinical outcomes. Novel biomarkers (at both the genetic and protein levels) are needed to resolve diagnostic difficulties, improve prognostication and develop targeted therapies. To rectify this deficiency, we interrogated the transcriptome of several NK and mature T-cell lymphomas by whole-genome expression profiling for new markers that may further stratify this diverse group of conditions. Our initial efforts have identified a promising candidate marker that appears to differentiate NKTL lymphoma from other forms of T-cell neoplasms, and this finding has been validated by immunohistochemistry on archival material in a large number of patient cases.

Description
We used microfluidic single cell RNA-seq on adult isolated CC10-CreERT2 (negative) integrin beta4(pos) cells lung epithelial cells in order to determine the transcriptional profile of this putative progenitor population. Overall design: CC10-CreERT2 / tdTomato (negative) integrin beta4(pos) cells were isolated by FACS, as were Krt5-CreERT2 / tdTomato (positive) cells. These cells were pooled and loaded onto the Fluidigm C1 device.

Description
In adult cancers, epigenetic changes and aberrant splicing of the DNMT3B is commonly observed, and the pattern of gene methylation and expression has been shown to be modified by DNMT3B7, a truncated protein of DNMT3B. Much less is known about the mechanism of epigenetic changes in the pediatric cancer neuroblastoma. To investigate if aberrant DNMT3B transcripts alter DNA methylation, gene expression and tumor phenotype in neuroblastoma, we measured DNMT3B isoform expression in primary tumors and cell lines. Higher levels of DNMT3B7 were detected in differentiated ganglioneuroblastomas compared to undifferentiated neuroblastomas, suggesting that expression of DNMT3B7 may induce a less clinically aggressive tumor phenotype. To test this hypothesis, we investigated the effects of forced DNMT3B7 in neuroblastoma cells. We found that DNMT3B7 expression significantly inhibited neuroblastoma cell proliferation in vitro, and in neuroblastoma xenografts, DNMT3B7 decreased angiogenesis and tumor growth. DNMT3B7-positive cells had higher levels of total genomic methylation, and RNA-sequencing revealed a dramatic decrease in expression of FOS and JUN family members, AP1 complex components. Consistent with the established antagonistic relationship between AP1 expression and retinoic acid receptor activity, decreased proliferation and increased differentiation was seen in the DNMT3B7-expressing neuroblastoma cells following treatment with all trans retinoic acid (ATRA) compared to controls. Our results demonstrate that high levels of DNMT3B7 modify the epigenome in neuroblastoma cells, induce changes in gene expression, inhibit tumor growth, and increase sensitivity to ATRA. Further knowledge regarding mechanisms by which DNMT3B7 regulates gene methylation may ultimately lead to the development of therapeutic strategies that reverse the epigenetic aberrations that drive neuroblastoma pathogenesis. Overall design: DNMT3B7, a truncated DNMT3B isoform, was stably transfected into an N-type neuroblastoma cell line (LA1-55n) using a Tet-off inducible system. DNMT3B7 expressing cells were compared to vector control cells after 21 days of induction.

Description
Genome-wide transcriptional profiling showed that reducing gravity levels in the International Space Station (ISS) causes important alterations in Drosophila gene expression intimately linked to imposed spaceflight-related environmental constrains during Drosophila metamorphosis. However, simulation experiments on ground testing space-related environmental constraints, show differential responses. Curiously, although particular genes are not common in the different experiments, the same GO groups including a large multigene family related with behavior, stress response and organogenesis are over represented in them. A global and integrative analysis using the gene expression dynamics inspector (GEDI) self-organizing maps, reveals different degrees in the responses of the transcriptome when using different environmental conditions or microgravity/hypergravity simulation devices

Description
Skeletal muscle stem cells (MuSC), also called satellite cells, are indispensable for maintenance and regeneration of adult skeletal muscles. Yet, a comprehensive picture of the regulatory events controlling the fate of MuSC is missing. Here, we determine the proteome of MuSC to design a loss-of-function screen, and identify 120 genes important for MuSC function including the arginine methyltransferase Prmt5. MuSC-specific inactivation of Prmt5 in adult mice prevents expansion of MuSC, abolishes long-term MuSC maintenance and abrogates skeletal muscle regeneration. Interestingly, Prmt5 is dispensable for proliferation and differentiation of Pax7(+) myogenic progenitor cells during mouse embryonic development, indicating significant differences between embryonic and adult myogenesis. Mechanistic studies reveal that Prmt5 controls proliferation of adult MuSC by direct epigenetic silencing of the cell cycle inhibitor p21. We reason that Prmt5 generates a poised state that keeps MuSC in a standby mode, thus allowing rapid MuSC amplification under disease conditions. Overall design: RNA from cultured satellite cells on Ion torrent sequencer
