Description
Alas2 gene encodes the rate-limiting enzyme in heme biosynthesis. CRISPR/Cas9-mediated ablation of two Alas2 intronic cis-elements strongly reduced GATA-1-induced Alas2 transcription, heme biosynthesis, and GATA-1 regulation of other vital constituents of the erythroid cell transcriptome. Bypassing Alas2 function in Alas2 cis-element-mutant (double mutant) cells by providing its catalytic product 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) rescued heme biosynthesis and the GATA-1-dependent genetic network. We discovered a GATA factor- and heme-dependent circuit that establishes the erythroid cell transcriptome. Overall design: G1E-ER-GATA-1 WT and double mutant cells were examined. Untreated WT, beta-estradiol-treated WT, beta-estradiol-treated double-mutant, and beta-estradiol/5-ALA-treated double-mutant cells were subjected to RNA-seq.

Description
Background: High density lipoprotein (HDL) protects the artery wall by removing cholesterol from lipid-laden macrophages. However, recent evidence suggests that it might also inhibit atherogenesis by combating inflammation. Methods and Results: To identify potential anti-inflammatory mechanisms, we challenged macrophages with lipopolysaccharide (LPS), an inflammatory microbial ligand for Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4). HDL inhibited the expression of 33% (301 of 911) of the genes normally induced by LPS, microarray analysis revealed. One of its major targets was the type I interferon response pathway, a family of potent viral immunoregulators controlled by TLR4 and the TRAM/TRIF signaling pathway. Unexpectedly, HDLs ability to inhibit gene expression was independent of cellular cholesterol stores. Moreover, it was unaffected by downregulation of two ATP-binding cassette transporters, ABCA1 and ABCG1, that promote cholesterol efflux. To examine the pathways potential in vivo relevance, we used mice deficient in apolipoprotein (apo) A-I, HDLs major protein. After infection with Salmonella (a Gram-negative bacterium that expresses LPS), apoA-Ideficient mice had 6-fold higher plasma levels of interferon-beta-a key regulator of the type I interferon response than did wild-type mice. Conclusions: HDL inhibits a subset of LPS-stimulated macrophage genes that regulate the type I interferon response, and its action is independent of sterol metabolism. These findings raise the possibility that regulation of macrophage genes by HDL might link innate immunity and cardioprotection.

Description
The current studies show that JMJD1A is phosphorylated at S265 by protein kinase A (PKA), and this is pivotal to activate expression of the b1-adrenergic receptor gene (Adrb1) and downstream targets including Ucp1. Phosphorylation of JMJD1A increases its interaction with the SWI/SNF nucleosome remodeling complex and DNA-bound PPARg. This complex conferred b-adrenergic-induced JMJD1A recruitment to target sites throughout the genome. Phospho-JMJD1A also facilitated long-range chromatin looping to recruit PPARg-bound distal-enhancers, SWI/SNF, and RNA polymerase close to the Adrb1 locus to activate transcription. Mutation of the PKA-phosphorylation site on JMJD1A abolished interactions with SWI/SNF without affecting demethylase activity suggesting the two functions are independent of each other. Our results show that JMJD1A demethylase is also a signal-sensing scaffold that regulates cAMP-responsive transcription via interactions with SWI/SNF and hormone stimulated higher-order chromatin conformational changes.

Description
Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) are now recognized as a heterogeneous population in self-renewing and differentiation capabilities. However, fundamental mechanisms governing the heterogeneity remain uncertain. We here show that special AT-rich sequence-binding protein 1 (SATB1), a global chromatin organizer, is involved in the mechanisms. Analyzing hematological lineage-restricted SATB1 knock out mice proved that SATB1 is indispensable for both self-renewal and normal differentiation of adult HSCs. Using SATB1/Tomato knock-in mice, we subdivided HSCs according to SATB1 intensity. Culture experiments and RNA-sequencing revealed essential differences between SATB1- and SATB1+ HSCs regarding lineage potential. Overall design: Total RNAs isolated from SATB1- and SATB1+ CD150+ Flt3- LSK cells were applied for RNA-sequencing, and then amount of change of each genetic expression in SATB1+ HSCs compared with SATB1- HSCs were calculated.

Description
To explore functionally crucial tumor-suppressive (TS)-miRNAs in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), we performed integrative function- and expression-based screenings of TS-miRNAs in six HCC cell lines. The screenings identified seven miRNAs, which showed growth-suppressive activities through the overexpression of each miRNA and were endogenously downregulated in HCC cell lines. Further expression analyses using a large panel of HCC cell lines and primary tumors demonstrated four miRNAs, miR-101, -195, -378 and -497, as candidate TS-miRNAs frequently silenced in HCCs. Among them, two clustered miRNAs miR-195 and miR-497 showed significant growth-suppressive activity with induction of G1 arrest. Comprehensive exploration of their targets using Argonute2-immunoprecipitation-deep-sequencing (Ago2-IP-seq) and genome-wide expression profiling after their overexpression, successfully identified a set of cell-cycle regulators, including CCNE1, CDC25A, CCND3, CDK4, and BTRC. Our results suggest the molecular pathway regulating cell cycle progression to be integrally altered by downregulation of miR-195 and miR-497 expression, leading to aberrant cell proliferation in hepatocarcinogenesis. Identification of miR-195 and miR-497 target genes by sequencing Ago2-binding mRNAs and total mRNAs of miR-195 or miR-497 overexpressed, or non-treated Hep G2 cell. Overall design: Deep sequencing of RNAs in Ago2-IP fraction and mRNAs extracted from miR-195 or miR-497 overexpressed, or non-treated Hep G2 cell.

Description
By comprehensive screening of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) over mouse heart development, we have identified Tbx5 upstream antisense RNA (Tbx5ua). In order to understand its function, we produced Tbx5ua knock down ES cells by inserting triple bovine polyadenylation signal to the second exon of Tbx5ua. From the ES cells we made chimeric mouse embryos via tetraploid complementation assay. We conducted RNA-seq analysis on the WT and KD heart ventricles at E9.5 to further elucidate the lncRNA's molecular functions. Overall design: Single-end RNA-seq of total RNAs extracted from the ventricles of tetraploid chimeric mice generated from wildtype or Tbx5ua knockdown B6J ES cells

Description
Fibroadenomas are the most common benign breast tumors in women under 30. Unlike their malignant counterparts, relatively molecular profiling has been done on fibroadenomas. Here we performed gene expression profiling on ten fibroadenomas in order to better characterize these tumors. Through targeted amplicon sequencing, we have found that six of these tumors have MED12 mutations. We show that the MED12 mutations, among others, are associated with activated estrogen signaling, as well as increased invasiveness through upregulation of ECM remodelling genes.
