Affymetrix Human Gene 1.0 ST Array (hugene10st)
Description
Bladder cancer (BC) is a highly prevalent human disease in which Rb pathway inactivation and epigenetic alterations are common events. However, the connection between these two processes is still poorly understood. Here we show that the in vivo inactivation of all Rb family genes in the mouse urothelium is sufficient to initiate BC development. The characterization of the mouse tumors revealed multiple molecular features of human BC, including the activation of E2F transcription factor and subsequent Ezh2 expression, and the activation of several signaling pathways previously identified as highly relevant in urothelial tumors. Whole transcriptional characterizations of the mouse bladder tumors revealed a significant overlap with human BC samples, and a predominant role for Ezh2 in the downregulation of gene expression programs. Importantly, we determined that in human superficial BC patients, the increased tumor recurrence and progression in these recurrences is associated with increased E2F and Ezh2 expression and Ezh2-mediated gene expression repression. Collectively, our studies provide a genetically defined model for human high-grade superficial BC and demonstrate the existence of an Rb-E2F-Ezh2 axis in bladder whose disruption can promote tumor development.

Description
The prime focus of the current therapeutic strategy for Multiple Myeloma (MM) is an early and deep tumour burden reduction; this characterizes and defines the complete response (CR). To date, no description of the characteristics of the plasma cells (PC) prone to achieve CR has been reported. This study aimed at the molecular characterization of PC derived from MM patients who achieved CR after bortezomib-thalidomide-dexamethasone (VTD) first line therapy.

Description
Upon antigen recognition within peripheral lymphoid organs, B cells interact with T cells and other immune cells to transiently form morphological structures called germinal centers (GCs), which are required for B cells clonal expansion, immunoglobulin class switching, and affinity maturation. This process, known as the GC response, is an energetically demanding process that requires metabolic reprogramming of B cells. Here, we showed that the Ras-related guanosine triphosphate hydrolase (GTPase) R-Ras2 (also known as TC21) plays an essential, nonredundant, and B cellintrinsic role in the GC response. Both the conversion of B cells into GC B cells and their expansion were impaired in mice lacking R-Ras2, but not in those lacking a highly-related R-Ras subfamily member or both the classic H-Ras and N-Ras GTPases. In the absence of R-Ras2, activated B cells did not increase oxidative phosphorylation or aerobic glycolysis. We showed that R-Ras2 was an effector of both the B cell receptor (BCR) and CD40 and that, in its absence, B cells exhibited impaired activation of the PI3K-Akt-mTORC1 pathway, reduced mitochondrial DNA replication, and decreased expression of genes involved in glucose metabolism. Because most human B cell lymphomas originate from GC B cells or B cells that have undergone the GC response, our data suggests that R-Ras2 may also regulate metabolism in B cell malignancies.

Description
We report the role of SmE1 protein in the control of Arabidopsis development and tolerance to abiotic stresses. SmE1 controls gene expression reprogramming at the post-transcriptional level by promoting the splicing of pre-mRNA. This function is selectively achieve over selected transcripts depending on the stimulus nature. Overall design: Transcriptomic profiling through RNAseq of Col-0 and sme1-1 plants under control conditions or exposed to low temperatures (4ºC, 24h)

Description
The indisputable role of epigenetics in cancer and the fact that epigenetic alterations can be reversed have favored development of epigenetic drugs. In this study, we have design and synthesize potent novel, selective and reversible chemical probes that simultaneously inhibit the G9a and DNMTs methyltransferase activity. In vitro treatment of hematological neoplasia (Acute Myeloid Leukemia-AML, Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia-ALL and Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma-DLBCL) with the lead compound CM-272, inhibited cell proliferation and promoted apoptosis, inducing interferon stimulated genes and immunogenic cell death. CM-272 significantly prolonged survival of AML, ALL and DLBCL xenogeneic models. Our results represent the discovery of first-in-class dual inhibitors of G9a/DNMTs and establish this chemical series, as a promising therapeutic tool for unmet needs in hematological tumors.

CD4 T cells can differentiate into a hetergenous population of effector T cells. A population of cytotoxic CD4 T cells can be generated against influenza challenge, however identifying these cells have been challenging. The expression of NKG2A/C/E on CD4 T cells identifies CD4 T cells with cytotoxic potential thus allowing further characterization of this subset of CD4 effector cells.
