Description
Stem and progenitor cells maintain the tissue they reside in for life by regulating the balance between proliferation and differentiation. How this is done is not well understood. Here, we report that the human exosome maintains progenitor cell function. The expression of several subunits of the exosome were found to be enriched in epidermal progenitor cells, which were required to retain proliferative capacity and to prevent premature differentiation. Loss of PM/Scl-75 also known as EXOSC9, a key subunit of the exosome complex, resulted in loss of cells from the progenitor cell compartment, premature differentiation, and loss of epidermal tissue. EXOSC9 promotes self-renewal and prevents premature differentiation by maintaining transcript levels of a transcription factor necessary for epidermal differentiation, GRHL3, at low levels through mRNA degradation. These data demonstrate that control of differentiation specific transcription factors through mRNA degradation is required for progenitor cell maintenance in mammalian tissue.

Description
Alternative splicing of pre-mRNA is a prominent mechanism to generate protein diversity, yet its regulation is poorly understood. Here, we demonstrate a direct role for histone modifications in alternative splicing. We find distinctive histone modification signatures which correlate with splicing outcome in a set of human genes. Modulation of histone modifications causes splice site switching. The mechanism for histone-mediated splice site selection involves a histone mark which is read by a chromatin protein, which in turn recruits a splicing regulator. These results outline an adaptor system for reading of histone marks by the pre-mRNA splicing machinery. Overall design: To obtain an estimate of how many PTB-dependent alternative splicing events are regulated by SET2/MRG15-mediated recruitment of PTB, we carried out a genomewide comparative analysis of alternative splicing in hMSC cells depleted of either SETD2, MRG15 or PTB using specific siRNAs, or mock-depleted using a control siRNA.

Description
Primary skin fibroblasts from HGPS patients and an age-matched control wild-type individuals were challenged in a standard transformation assay by retroviral introduction of TERT (T), V12-HRAS (R) and SV40 large and small T antigens (S). TERT-Immortalized cell lines from the same sources were also generated.

Description
HGPS is a rare premature ageing disease, caused by a mutation in the LMNA gene, which activates a cryptic splice site, resulting in the production of a mutant lamin A isoform, called progerin. Sporadic usage of the same cryptic splice site has been observed with normal physiological aging. As it is unknown how HGPS causes premature ageing defects, we set out to determine the gene signature of both young healthy individuals, old healthy individuals, as well as HGPS patients.

Description
The ability to detect and isolate bGL1-22/LGL1specific human type II NKT cells allowed us to compare the global gene expression profiles of these cells with type I NKT cells using microarray analysis. Principal component analysis revealed that the gene expression profile signature for bGL1-22 and LGL1-specific T cells both before and after activation with anti-CD3/CD28 beads is distinct from that of type I NKT cells.

Transcriptome profiling of radial glia, intermediate progenitors, and cortical neurons in WT and Prdm16 conditional knock-out (cKO) mouse (Emx1Ires-Cre; Prdm16flox/flox) at embryonic day 15.5. Overall design: Sorting of PAX6+ radial glia, TBR2+ intermediate progenitors and Pax6-TBR2- neurons from WT and Prdm16 cKO embryonic cerebral cortex was followed by library preparation and RNA-seq of 4 biological replicates per cell type and genotype.

Description
Expression profiling of isolated populations of prepachytene spermatocytes (LP), pachytene spermatocytes (RP) and spermatids (ST) from PWD and B6 was performed to study the genome wide variation in gene expression between two mouse subspecies. To evaluate the transcriptional difference between B6 and PWD in during meiosis, we compared their transcriptomes in sorted populations of pre-pachytene primary spermatocytes (Leptonema, Zygotene and Pachytene), pachytene spermatocytes (Mid-late pachytene and diplotene) and spermatids.
