View SamplesChanges in gene expression profile of intestinal (ILEUM) Tumors from APCmin/+/VP16LXRa vs APCmin/+/VP16. The hypothesis tested in the present study was that LXRa overexpression influence cancer growth modulating lipid metabolism in cancer cells. Results provide the information that LXRa induces genes encoding proteins able to regulate cholesterol efflux.

View SamplesCaryopses of barley (Hordeum vulgare), like all other cereal seeds, are complex sink organs optimized for storage starch accumulation and embryo development. Their development from early stages after pollination to late stages of seed ripening has been studied in great detail. However, information on the caryopses diurnal adaptation to changes in light, temperature and alterations in phloem-supplied carbon and nitrogen remained unknown.

Diurnal regulation of RNA polymerase III transcription is under the control of both the feeding-fasting response and the circadian clock.

View SamplesRNA polymerase III (pol III) synthesizes short non-coding RNAs, many of which, including tRNAs, Rpph1 RNA, Rn5s rRNA, and Rmrp RNA, are essential for translation. Accordingly, pol III activity is tightly regulated with cell growth and proliferation by factors such as MYC, RB1, TRP53, and MAF1. MAF1 is a repressor of pol III transcription whose activity is controlled by phosphorylation; in particular, it is inactivated through phosphorylation by mTORC1 kinase, a sensor of nutrient availability. Pol III regulation is thus sensitive to environmental cues, yet a diurnal profile of pol III transcription activity is so far lacking. Here we document pol III occupancy of its target genes in mouse liver during the diurnal cycle and show that pol III occupancy rises before the onset of the night, stays high during the night, when mice normally ingest food and when translation is increased, and decreases in daytime. By comparing diurnal pol III occupancy in wild-type mice, arrhythmic mice owing to inactivation of the Arntl gene, mice fed at regular intervals during both night and day, and mice lacking the Maf1 gene, we show that whereas higher pol III occupancy during the night reflects a MAF1-dependent response to feeding, the rise of pol III occupancy before the onset of the night reflects a circadian clock-dependent response. Thus, pol III transcription during the diurnal cycle is regulated both in response to nutrients and by the circadian clock, which allows anticipatory pol III transcription.

View SamplesThe Arabidopsis thaliana transcription factor LATERAL ORGAN BOUNDARIES (LOB) is expressed in the boundary between the shoot apical meristem and initiating lateral organs. To identify genes regulated by LOB activity, we used an inducible 35S:LOB-GR line. This analysis identified genes that are differentially expressed in response to ectopic LOB activity.

View Samplesp63 mutations have been associated with several human hereditary disorders characterized by ectodermal dysplasia such as EEC syndrome, ADULT syndrome and AEC syndrome . The location and functional effects of the mutations that underlie these syndromes reveal a striking genotype-phenotype correlation. Unlike EEC and ADULT that result from missense mutations in the DNA-binding domain of p63, AEC is solely caused by missense mutations in the SAM domain of p63. We report a study on the TAp63a isoform, the first to be expressed during development of the embryonic epithelia, and on its naturally occurring Q540L mutant derived from an AEC patient. To assess the effects of the Q540L mutation, we generated stable cell lines expressing TAp63a wt, DeltaNp63 alpha or the TAp63 alpha-Q540L mutant protein and used them to systematically compare the cell growth regulatory activity of the mutant and wt p63 proteins and to generate, by microarray analysis, a comprehensive profile of differential gene expression. We found that the Q540L substitution impairs the transcriptional activity of TAp63a and causes misregulation of genes involved in the control of cell growth and epidermal differentiation.
The Hay Wells syndrome-derived TAp63alphaQ540L mutant has impaired transcriptional and cell growth regulatory activity.
