Description
Nrf2 is an important therapeutic target as activation of this pathway detoxifies harmful insults and reduces oxidative stress. However, the role of Nrf2 in cancer biology is controversial. Protection against oxidative stress and inflammation can confer a survival advantage to tumor cells, leading to a poor prognosis, and constitutive activation of Nrf2 has been detected in numerous tumors. In our study, we examined the role of two clinically relevant classes of Nrf2 activators, the synthetic triterpenoids (CDDO-Im and CDDO-Me) and dimethyl fumarate (DMF) in lung cancer.
Publication Title
Dimethyl fumarate and the oleanane triterpenoids, CDDO-imidazolide and CDDO-methyl ester, both activate the Nrf2 pathway but have opposite effects in the A/J model of lung carcinogenesis.

Description
Colorectal cancer cells with TP53 mutation are highly resistant to chemotherapeutics. In order to identify potential chemo-resistance signatures, here; we explored the global gene expression profiles of drug resistant colorectal cancer cell line SW480 upon Floxuridine (FdUrd) treatment using Illumina Human HT-12 v4.0 Expression Beadchip Array. Further, significantly altered genes were subjected to the pathway analysis in GeneCodis3 and crucial signaling pathways were found to be enriched. Upon further functional validations, these pathways could be targeted to enhance therapy in human cancers harboring mutant p53.

Description
The transcription factor Meis1 is preferentially expressed in hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) and over-expressed in certain leukemias. However, the functions of Meis1 in hematopoiesis remain largely unknown. Using inducible knock-out mice, we found that Meis1 is required for the maintenance of hematopoiesis under stress and over long term while steady-state hematopoiesis was sustained in the absence of Meis1. Bone marrow cells of Meis1 deficient mice showed reduced colony formation, contained significantly fewer numbers of long- term HSCs and these Meis1-deficient HSCs exhibited loss of quiescence. Further, we found that Meis1 deletion led to the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in HSCs and decreased expression of genes implicated in hypoxia response. Finally, ROS scavenging by N-acetyl cysteine or stabilization of hypoxia-signaling by knockdown of the VHL protein led to reversal of the effects of Meis1-deletion. Taken together, these results demonstrate that Meis1 protects and preserves HSCs by restricting oxidative metabolism.

Description
APE1 regulates a vast majority of genes by acting as a transcriptional co-activator or as a co-repressor. It is overexpressed in diverse cancer tissues and is associated with their drug resistance. It is essential for cell proliferation. APE1 is post-translationally acetylated by HAT p300 at its N-terminal Lys 6 and 7 residues. We examined APE1 and its acetylation-dependent gene expression profile of lung cancer cells which would contribute to sustained proliferation of lung cancer cells.

Description
The pathogenesis of MLL-fusion gene leukemias has been linked to upregulated expression of HOX genes and of the HOX-cofactor Meis1.The functions of the HOX/MEIS1 complex in leukemia however remain unclear. Here, we used inducible MEIS1-knockout mice coupled with MLL-AF9 knockin mice to decipher the role of MEIS1 in leukemia. We found that MEIS1 was critically required for established leukemia. Further, MEIS1 loss led to increased oxygen flux and apoptosis, while hypoxia reversed these effects. Finally, we identify HLF as a downstream mediator of MEIS1 in leukemia. Overexpression of HLF prevents oxygen flux and rescues the leukemia phenotype in MEIS1-deficient cells. Thus, the oncogenic effects of MEIS1 are at least partly mediated by an HLF-driven hypoxic state. Overall design: Mouse bone marrow MLL-AF9 knockin cells of conditional Meis1f/f or control genotypes were treated with vehicle or 1000 nM of 4-hydroxy tamoxifen for 24 hours in IMDM with 10% FBA and 10 ng/ml of murine GM-CSF, IL-3, IL-6, SCF. RNA was isolated from treated cells and submitted to gene expression and sequencing core of Cincinnati Children''s Hospital & Medical Center. A total of four samples were included, and two groups were assisgned. Comparison comprises mRNA expression profile of vehicle and 4-OHT treatment in control cells versus Meis1-deleted cells.

Description
Cancer cells must evade immune responses at distant sites to establish metastases. The lung is a frequent site for metastasis. We hypothesized that lung-specific immunoregulatory mechanisms create an immunologically permissive environment for tumor colonization. We found that T cell-intrinsic expression of the oxygen-sensing prolyl-hydroxylase (PHD) proteins is required to maintain local tolerance against innocuous antigens in the lung, but powerfully licenses colonization by circulating tumor cells. PHD proteins limit pulmonary type helper (Th)-1 responses, promote CD4+-regulatory T (Treg) cell induction, and restrain CD8+ T cell effector function. Tumor colonization is accompanied by PHD protein-dependent induction of pulmonary Treg cells and suppression of IFN-g-dependent tumor clearance. T cell-intrinsic deletion or pharmacological inhibition of PHD proteins limits tumor colonization of the lung and improves the efficacy of adoptive cell transfer immunotherapy. Collectively, PHD proteins function in T cells to coordinate distinct immunoregulatory programs within the lung that are permissive to cancer metastasis. Overall design: RNA expression was measured by RNA-Seq at day 4 following stimulation of naïve FACS-sorted CD4+ T cells with anti-CD3 and anti-CD28 antibodies in the presence of indicated doses of TGF-b. Gene expression was analysed separately in control Cd4Cre (WT) and Egln1fl/fl Egln2fl/fl Egln3fl/fl Cd4Cre (tKO) cells, or in cells treated with the pharmacological PHD inhibitor dimethyloxaloylglycine (DMOG) and control vehicle-treated cells.

Description
To better elucidate epigenetic mechanisms that correlate with the dynamic gene expression program observed after T cell activation, we investigated the genomic landscape of histone modifications in antigen-experienced CD8+ T cells. Using a ChIP-Seq approach coupled with global gene expression profiling, we generated genome-wide histone H3 lysine 4 (H3K4me3) and H3 lysine 27 (H3K27me3) trimethylation maps in distinct subsets of CD8+ T cells-nave, stem cell memory, central memory, and effector memory-to gain insight into how histone architecture is remodeled during the differentiation of activated T cells. We show that H3K4me3 histone modifications are associated with activation of genes, while H3K27me3 is negatively correlated with gene expression at canonical loci and enhancers regions associated with T cell metabolism, effector function, and memory. Our results also reveal histone modifications and gene expression signatures that distinguish the recently identified stem cell memory T cell from other antigen-experienced CD8+ T cell subsets. Taken together, our results suggest that antigen-experienced T cells may undergo chromatin remodeling in a progressive fashion that may have implications for our understanding of peripheral T cell ontogeny and the formation of immunological memory.
