Description
Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have appeared to be involved in the most diverse cellular processes through multiple mechanisms. Here we describe a previously uncharacterized human lncRNA, CONCR (cohesion regulator noncoding RNA), transcriptionally activated by MYC, which is upregulated in multiple cancer types. The expression of CONCR is cell cycle-regulated, and it is required for cell cycle progression and DNA replication. Moreover, cells depleted of CONCR show severe defects in sister chromatid cohesion, suggesting an essential role for CONCR in cohesion establishment during cell division. CONCR interacts with and regulates the activity of DDX11, a DNA-dependent ATPase and helicase involved in DNA replication. These findings suggest a novel mechanism of action for CONCR in the modulation of DDX11 enzymatic activity, unveiling the direct involvement of a lncRNA in the establishment of sister chromatid cohesion.

Description
Transient expression of two factors, or from Oct4 alone, resulted in efficient generation of human iPSCs. The reprogramming strategy described revealed a potential transcriptional signature for human iPSCs yet retaining the gene expression of donor cells in human reprogrammed cells free of viral and transgene interference.

Description
We report the application of high-throughput sequencing to performed the p53 regulated trancriptome in HCT116 colon cancer cells treated with the DNA damage 5FU. To study the direct targets of p53 we performed ChIP-seq to deterrmined the p53 biding sites and associated with the expression levels. With this study we identified the new genomic regions regulated by p53 and with special attention in those regions that are significally expressed by DNA damage and and are non- coding.

Description
Despite widespread knowledge that bone marrow-resident breast cancer cells (BMRCs) affect tumor progression, signaling mechanisms of BMRCs implicated in maintaining long-term dormancy have not been characterized. To overcome these hurdles, we developed a novel experimental model of tumor dormancy employing circulating tumor cells (CTCs) derived from metastatic breast cancer patients (de novo CTCs), transplanted them in immunocompromised mice, and re-isolated these cells from xenografted mice bone marrow (ex vivo BMRCs) and blood (ex vivo CTCs) to perform downstream transcriptomic analyses.

Description
It has been recently shown that the transcription factor p53 induces the expression of multiple lincRNAs. However, relatively little is known about the role that lincRNAs play in this pathway. Here we characterize a lincRNA named PINT (p53 Induced Noncoding Transcript). We show that PINT is a ubiquitously expressed lincRNA that is finely regulated by p53. In mouse cells, PINT promotes cell proliferation and survival by regulating the expression of genes of TGF-beta, MAPK and p53 pathways. PINT is a nuclear lincRNA that directly interacts with Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2), being required for PRC2 targeting of specific genes for repression. Furthermore, PINT functional activity is dependent on PRC2 expression, representing a connection between the p53 pathway and epigenetic regulation by PRC2. We have also identified PINT human ortholog (hPINT), which presents suggestive analogies with the mouse lincRNA. hPINT is similarly regulated by p53, and its expression correlates significantly with the same cellular pathways as the mouse ortholog, including the p53 pathway. Interestingly, hPINT is significantly downregulated in colon cancer, representing a novel tumor suppressor candidate. Our results not only help our understanding of the role of p53 and lincRNAs in cancer, but also contribute to the open debate regarding the utility of mouse models for the study of lincRNAs.

Description
PIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) are a novel class of small ncRNAs initially isolated from germ line cells; although recent studies report that they are expressed also in somatic cells. To elucidate the role of piRNAs in somatic cells, in particular from breast cancer, we performed the first extensive next generation sequencing expression analysis of small RNA transcriptomes of hormone responsive breast cancer cell lines in different culture conditions. In addition, to understand the behavior of piRNAs with respect to miRNAs in breast tumor tissues, small RNA sequence data set available in Gene Expression Omnibus (GSE39162) database was used. Results led to the identification of ~100 and ~150 human piRNAs in the breast cancerous cell lines and tumors respectively, several of which differentially expressed in cell lines under different experimental conditions tested or in response to ERß and in tumor tissues. Western blotting and Q-PCR analysis also revealed the presence in breast cell lines of PIWIL (PIWI Like) subfamily members proteins encoded in the human genome (PIWIL2/HILI and PIWIL4/HIWI2) and of other components of the piRNA biogenesis pathways, suggesting that this might indeed be functional in somatic cells. These results show that piRNAs are expressed in human somatic cells, in particular in cancer, where their expression is influenced by neoplastic transformation, growth conditions and estrogen receptor beta. More important, we demonstrate for the first time a distinct pattern of piRNAs expression in cancerous vs normal breast tissues, which suggests a potential role of these epigenetic modulators in mammary carcinogenesis and maintenance of the cancer cell phenotype. Overall design: In addition, to understand the behavior of piRNAs with respect to miRNAs in breast tumor tissues, small RNA sequence data set available in Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO; GSM957192 TAX577740T ,GSM957194 TAX577740N, GSM957195 TAX577453T, GSM957197 TAX577453N, GSM957198 TAX577745T, GSM957200 TAX577745N, GSM957201 TAX577579T, GSM957203 TAX577579N) was used.
