Description
To study the effect of structural changes on expression, we assessed gene expression in genomic disorder mouse models. Both a microdeletion and its reciprocal microduplication mapping to mouse chromosome 11 (MMU11), which model the rearrangements present in Smith-Magenis (SMS) and Potocki-Lupski (PTLS) syndromes patients, respectively, have been engineered. We profiled the transcriptome of five different tissues affected in human patients in mice with 1n (Deletion/+), 2n (+/+), 3n (Duplication/+) and uniallelic 2n (Deletion/Duplication) copies of the same region in an identical genetic background. The most differentially expressed transcripts between the four studied genotypes were ranked. A highly significant propensity, are mapping to the engineered SMS/PTLS interval in the different tissues. A statistically significant overrepresentation of the genes mapping to the flanks of the engineered interval was also found in the top-ranked differentially expressed genes. A phenomenon efficient across multiple cell lineages and that extends along the entire length of the chromosome, tens of megabases from the breakpoints. These long-range effects are unidirectional and uncoupled from the number of copies of the copy number variation (CNV) genes. Thus, our results suggest that the assortment of genes mapping to a chromosome is not random. They also indicate that a structural change at a given position of the human genome may cause the same perturbation in particular pathways regardless of gene dosage. An issue that should be considered in appreciating the contribution of this class of variation to phenotypic features.

Description
The identification of the most appropriate T-cell subset to ensure optimal persistence and anti-tumor activity is a major goal of cancer immunotherapy. We identified a novel post-mitotic CD45RA+CD62L+ T cell subpopulation (TTN), generated in vitro upon activation of nave T (TN) cells with beads conjugated to anti-CD3 and anti-CD28 antibodies. This cell population is highly proliferative, produces low levels of IFNg and cytotoxic molecules, and requires IL-7 and IL-15 for in vitro expansion.

Description
How cells acquire their fate is a fundamental question in both developmental and regenerative biology. Multipotent progenitors undergo gradual cell fate restriction in response to temporal and positional cues from the microenvironment, the nature of which is far from being clear. In the case of the lymphatic system, venous endothelial cells are thought to give rise to lymphatic vessels, through a process of trans-differentiation. Upon expression of a set of transcription factors, venous cells acquire a lymphatic fate, and bud out to generate the lymphatic vasculature. In this work we challenge this view and show that while lymphatic endothelial cells (LECs) do arise in the Cardinal Vein (CV), they do so from a previously uncharacterized pool of multipotent angioblasts. Using lymphatic-specific transgenic zebrafish, in combination with endothelial photoconvertible reporters, and long-term live imaging, we demonstrate that these multipotent angioblasts can generate not only lymphatic, but also arterious, and venous fates. We further reveal that the underlying endoderm serves as a source of Wnt5b, which acts as a lymphatic inductive signal, promoting the angioblast-to-lymphatic transition. Moreover, Wnt5b induced lymphatic specification in human embryonic stem cells- derived vascular progenitors, suggesting that this process is evolutionary conserved. Our results uncover a novel mechanism of lymphatic vessel formation, whereby multipotent angioblasts and not venous endothelial cells give rise to the lymphatic endothelium, and provide the first characterization of their inductive niche. More broadly, our findings highlight the CV as a plastic and heterogeneous structure containing different cell populations, analogous to the hematopoietic niche in the aortic floor. Overall design: Following Kaede photoconversion of dorsal or ventral halves of the PCV in Tg(fli1:gal4;uasKaede) embryos at 24 hpf, 6Â embryos per group were used for FACS isolation of Kaede photconverted (red) ECs.

Description
The nuclear hormone receptor, estrogen receptor-alpha (ER), and MAP kinases both play key roles in hormone-dependent cancers, yet their interplay and the integration of their signaling inputs remain poorly understood. In these studies, we document that estrogen-occupied ER activates and interacts with ERK2, a downstream effector in the MAPK pathway, resulting in ERK2 and ER colocalization at chromatin binding sites across the genome of breast cancer cells.

Description
Post-translational modifications, such as poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation (PARylation), regulate chromatin-modifying enzymes, ultimately affecting gene expression. This study explores the role of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) on global gene expression in a lymphoblastoid B cell line. We found that inhibition of PARP catalytic activity with olaparib resulted in global gene deregulation, affecting approximately 11% of genes expressed. Gene ontology analysis revealed that PARP could exert these effects through transcription factors and chromatin-remodeling enzymes, including the Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2) member EZH2. EZH2 mediates the trimethylation of histone H3 at lysine 27 (H3K27me3), a modification associated with chromatin compaction and gene silencing. Both pharmacological inhibition of PARP and knockdown of PARP1 induced the expression of EZH2 that resulted in increased global H3K27me3. Chromatin immunoprecipitation confirmed that PARP1 inhibition led to H3K27me3 deposition at EZH2-target genes, which resulted in gene silencing. Moreover, increased EZH2 expression is attributed to occupancy loss of the transcription repressor E2F4 at the EZH2 promoter following PARP inhibition. Together, these data show that PARP plays an important role in global gene regulation and identifies for the first time a direct role of PARP1 in regulating the expression and function of EZH2. Overall design: Examination of the effect of PARP inhibition on global gene expression in LCLs cell lines. mRNA profiles of LCLs cells lines treated at different time points with olaparib were generated by deep sequencing, in triplicate, using Illumina GAIIx.

Description
Plasma cell differentiation involves coordinated changes in gene expression and functional properties of B cells. Here, we study the role of Mzb1, a Grp94 co-chaperone that is expressed in marginal zone (MZ) B cells and during the terminal differentiation of B cells to antibody-secreting cells (ASCs). By analyzing Mzb1 -/- Prdm1 +/gfp mice, we find that Mzb1 is specifically required for the differentiation and function of ASCs in a T cell-independent immune response. We find that Mzb1-deficiency mimics, in part, the phenotype of Blimp1 deficiency, including the impaired secretion of IgM and the deregulation of Blimp1 target genes. In addition, we find that Mzb1 -/- plasmablasts show a reduced activation of b1 integrin, which contributes to the impaired plasmablast differentiation and migration of ASCs to the bone marrow. Thus, Mzb1 function is required for multiple aspects of plasma cell differentiation. Overall design: Splenic B cells were purified from Mzb1 +/+ Prdm1 +/gfp and Mzb1 -/- Prdm1 +/gfp mice using anti-B220 magnetic beads and cultured in the presence of 25ug/ml LPS. After 4 days, undifferentiated CD138 - Blimp - B cell blasts (Activated B Cells), CD138 - Blimp + (Pre-PB cells), and CD138 + Blimp + (PB cells) were isolated with FACSAria (Becton Dickinson) sort.

Description
An increasingly common method for predicting gene activity is genome-wide chromatin immunoprecipitation of ‘active’ chromatin modifications followed by massively parallel sequencing (ChIP-seq). Using a novel ChIP-seq quantification method (cRPKM), we tested the power of such ChIP-seq strategies to predict relative protein and RNA levels at the pre-pro-B and pro-B differentiation stages in early B cell lymphopoiesis. Using a multi-omics approach that compares promoter chromatin status (ChIP-seq; published in GSE:21978) with ongoing active transcription (GRO-seq; published in GSE:40173), steady state mRNA (RNA-seq), inferred mRNA stability, and relative proteome abundance measurements (iTRAQ), we demonstrate that active chromatin modifications at promoters are a good indicator of transcription and steady state mRNA levels. Moreover, we found that promoters with active chromatin modifications exclusively in one of these cell states frequently predicted differentially expressed proteins. However, we found that many genes whose promoters have non-differential but active chromatin modifications also displayed changes in expression of their cognate proteins. This large class of developmentally and differentially regulated proteins that was uncoupled from chromatin status used mostly post-transcriptional mechanisms. Interestingly, the most differentially expressed protein in our B-cell development system, 2410004B18Rik, was regulated by a post-transcriptional mechanism, which further analyses indicated was mediated by an identified miRNA. These data provide a striking example of how our integrated multi-omics data set can be useful in uncovering regulatory mechanisms. Overall design: Total RNA from mouse pre-pro-B and pro-B cells, depleted of rRNA and small RNAs, was sequenced using a strand specific, single end sequencing strategy.
