Description
Constitutive Wnt activation upon loss of Adenoma polyposis coli (APC) acts as main driver of colorectal cancers (CRC). Targeting Wnt signaling has proven difficult because the pathway is crucial for homeostasis and stem cell renewal. To distinguish oncogenic from physiologic Wnt activity, we have performed comprehensive transcriptome and proteome profiling in human colon organoids. Culture in the presence or absence of exogenous ligand allowed us to discriminate receptor-mediated signaling from the effects of CRISPR/Cas9 induced APC loss. We could catalogue two non-overlapping molecular signatures that were stable at distinct levels of stimulation. Newly identified markers for normal colon stem/progenitor cells and adenomas were validated by immunohistochemistry and flow cytometry. We found that oncogenic Wnt signals are associated with good prognosis in tumors of the consensus molecular subtype 2 (CMS2). In contrast, receptor-mediated signaling was linked to CMS4 tumors and poor prognosis. Together, our data represent a valuable resource for biomarkers that allow more precise stratification of Wnt responses in CRC. Overall design: Culturing normal and CRISPR/Cas9 engineered APC mutant isogenic organoid lines in the presence or absence of Wnt-stimulation, followed by transcriptome and proteome profiling allowed for the stratification of physiologic and oncogenic Wnt responses.

Description
The tumor microenvironment plays a critical role in cancer progression, but the precise mechanisms by which stromal cells influence the tumor epithelium are poorly understood. The signaling adapter p62 has been implicated as a positive regulator of epithelial tumorigenesis; however, its role in the stroma is unknown. We show here that p62 levels are reduced in the stroma of several tumors. Also, orthotopic and organotypic studies demonstrate that the loss of p62 in the tumor microenvironment or stromal fibroblasts resulted in increased tumorigenesis of epithelial prostate cancer cells. The mechanism involves the regulation of cellular redox through an mTORC1/c-Myc pathway of stromal glucose and amino acid metabolism. Inhibition of the pathway by p62 deficiency results in increased stromal IL-6 production, which is required for tumor promotion in the epithelial compartment. Thus, p62 is an anti-inflammatory tumor suppressor that acts through modulation of metabolism in the tumor stroma.

Description
Transcriptional profiles are increasingly used to investigate the severity, subtype and pathogenesis of disease. We now describe whole blood RNA signatures and local and systemic immune mediator levels in a large cohort of adults hospitalised with influenza from which extensive clinical and investigational data was obtained. Signatures reflecting interferon-related antiviral pathways were common up to day 4 of symptoms in cases not requiring mechanical ventilatory support; in those needing mechanical ventilation, an inflammatory, activated neutrophil and cell stress/death (bacterial) pattern was seen, even early after disease onset. Identifiable bacterial co-infection was not necessary for this bacterial signature but could enhance its development while attenuating the early viral signature. Our findings emphasise the importance of timing and severity in the interpretation of transcriptomic profiles and soluble mediator levels, and identify specific patterns of immune activation that may enable the development of novel diagnostics and therapeutics

Description
mRNA and microRNA expression was examined in global cellular fractions and in RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC)-immunoprecipitated cell fractions in cultured primary human astrocytes (ScienCell) and in cultured human U-87 MG astrocytoma cells (ATCC). ABSTRACT: Background: GW/P bodies are cytoplasmic ribonucleoprotein-rich foci that are involved in microRNA (miRNA)-mediated messenger RNA (mRNA) silencing and degradation. These mRNA regulatory functions within GW/P bodies are mediated by GW182 and its binding partner hAgo2 when bound to miRNA within the RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC). Although miRNAs and mRNAs are known to be localized to RISC in a variety of cells, to date no published study has examined the profile of specific miRNA and mRNA targeted to the RISC. Methodology/Principle Findings: In this study, RISC mRNA and miRNA components were profiled by microarray analysis of human U-87 astrocytoma cells and primary human astrocytes with total RNA extracted from the RISC as well as the global cellular fractions. The novel findings of this study were fourfold: (1) miRNAs are highly enriched in primary astrocyte RISC compared to U-87 astrocytoma RISC, (2) astrocytoma cells and primary astrocytes each contain unique RISC miRNA profiles as compared to their respective cellular miRNA profiles, (3) miR-195, 10b, 29b, 19b, 34a and 455-3p were upregulated and miR-181b was downregulated in U-87 astrocytoma RISC as compared to primary astrocyte RISC, and (4) RISC contain mostly downregulated mRNAs in primary astrocytes and U-87 astrocytoma cells. Conclusions/Significance: We show that in U-87 astrocytoma cells, miR-34a and miR-195 were upregulated in RISC suggesting an oncogenic role for these miRNAs. Three miR34a-targeted mRNAs and two miR-195-targeted mRNAs were downregulated. One miR-195-targeted mRNA was upregulated. Biological pathway analysis of RISC mRNA components suggests that the RISC plays a pivotal role in cancer, inflammatory disease, immunological disease, the cell cycle, cellular movement and numerous cell signaling pathways. This study points to the importance of the RISC and ultimately GW/P body composition and function and in miRNA and mRNA deregulation in astrocytoma cells and possibly for other brain tumors.

Description
We generated knock-in mice expressing GFP under the control of the endogenous GIP (Glucose-dependent Insulinotropic Polypeptide) promoter that enable the isolation of a purified population of small intestine K cells. Using RNA-Seq, we comprehensively characterized the transcriptomes of GIP-GFP cells as well as the entire enteroendocrine lineage derived from Neurogenin3 (Ngn3)-expressing progenitors. Overall design: We interrogated the whole transcriptome of FACS-isolated small intestine GIPGFP cells using high-throughput mRNA sequencing. We also obtained the global gene expression patterns of the entire enteroendocrine cell lineage as well as the non-enteroendocrine cell population, comprising enterocytes, goblet cells and Paneth cells. To achieve this, small intestine epithelial cells from male mice resulting from the breeding of Neurogenin3 (Ngn3)-Cre mice with ROSA26-LoxP-STOP-LoxP-tomato indicator mice were isolated based on Tomato fluorescence and negative staining for CD45. Due to the small cell numbers, we constructed each of the three RNA-Seq libraries (GIPGFP, Ngn3TOMATO, and Ngn3-) using a pool of equal amounts of individual RNA samples without RNA amplification.

Description
Barley stripe mosaic virus-induced gene silencing (BSMV-VIGS) was used to identify significant new genes in the regulation of host innate immunity. This experiment was designed to uncover significant changes in Bln1 (Contig12219_at)-silenced plants relative to empty vector and buffer treated controls. Five independent biological replications of a split-plot experimental design were conducted with replications as blocks, treatment with Blumeria graminis f. sp. hordei (Bgh) as the whole-plot factor, and all combinations of genotype (Mla13 and Mla9) and VIGS treatment [Buffer control (mock), BSMV:00 (empty vector), and BSMV:Bln1248] as the split-plot factor for a total of 60 GeneChip hybridizations. Ten seedlings were used as a split-plot experimental unit for each combination of replication, Bgh treatment, genotype, and VIGS treatment. Plants were grown in a controlled 20C glasshouse prior to VIGS treatment. Twelve days after VIGS treatment, half of the plants in each replication were challenged with the compatible Bgh isolate 5874. Top halves of 5 of the 10 seedling third leaves (about 10 cm) from each split-plot experimental unit were harvested into liquid N2 at 32 hours after inoculation (HAI) - the timepoint with the highest differential Bln1 transcript accumulation (Meng et al. 2009), and after initial establishment of the perihaustorial interface (Caldo et al. 2004). The remaining 5 leaves were used to record infection phenotype 7 days later. RNA was isolated for GeneChip hybridization from the 32-HAI samples. ****[PLEXdb(http://www.plexdb.org) has submitted this series at GEO on behalf of the original contributor, Yan Meng.
