View SamplesIn the adult mouse, distinct morphological and transcriptional differences separate stomach from intestinal epithelium. Remarkably, the epithelial boundary between these two organs is literally one cell thick. This discrete junction is established suddenly and precisely at embryonic day (E) 16.5, by sharpening a previously diffuse intermediate zone. In the present study, we define the dynamic transcriptome of stomach, pylorus and intestinal tissues between E14.5 and E16.5. We show that establishment of this boundary is concomitant with the induction of over a thousand genes in intestinal epithelium, and these gene products provide intestinal character. Hence, we call this process intestinalization. We identify specific transcription factors (Hnf4g, Creb3l3 and Tcfec) and examine signaling pathways (Hedgehog and Wnt) that may play a role in this process. Finally, we define a unique expression domain at the pylorus itself and detect novel pylorus-specific patterns for the transcription factor Gata3 and the secreted protein nephrocan.

View SamplesmiRNAs are small non-coding RNAs that inhibit translation and promote mRNA decay. The levels of mature miRNAs are the result of different rates of transcription, processing, and turnover. The non-canonical polymerase Gld2 has been implicated in the stabilization of miR-122 possibly by catalyzing 3’ monoadenylation, however, there is little evidence that this relationship is one of cause and effect. Here, we biochemically characterize Gld2 involvement in miRNA monoadenylation and its effect on miRNA stability. We find that Gld2 directly monoadenylates and stabilizes specific miRNA populations in human fibroblasts and that sensitivity to monoadenylation-induced stability depends on nucleotides in the miRNA 3‘ end. These results establish a novel mechanism of miRNA stability and resulting post-transcriptional gene regulation. Overall design: Sequencing of miRNAs to assess amount and 3'' end monoadenylation state upon Gld2 knock-down.

View SamplesMucinous tubular and spindle cell carcinoma (MTSCC) is a relatively rare subtype of renal cell carcinoma with distinctive morphologic and cytogenetic features. Here we carry out whole exome and transcriptome sequencing of a multi-institutional cohort of MTSCC (n=22). We demonstrate the presence of either biallelic loss of Hippo pathway tumor suppressor genes (TSGs) and/or evidence of alteration of Hippo pathway genes in 85% of samples. PTPN14 (31%) and NF2 (22%) were the most commonly implicated Hippo pathway genes while other genes such as SAV1 and HIPK2 were also involved in a mutually exclusive fashion. Mutations in the context of recurrent chromosomal losses amounted to bi-allelic alterations in these TSGs. As a read-out of Hippo pathway inactivation, a majority of cases (90%) exhibited increased nuclear YAP1 protein expression. To identify transcriptional targets of the Hippo pathway in kidney we performed PTPN14 knockdown followed by RNA-seq in 2 kidney cancer cell lines (CAKI-1 and A-704) and a normal kidney epithelial cell line (HK-2). PTPN14 siRNAs were first functionally validated in a MCF-7 TEAD reporter luciferase stable cell line. Both siRNAs showed comparable knockdown efficiency and significantly increased luciferase reporter activity. In 2 of the kidney cell lines PTPN14 knockdown increased cell proliferation compared to non-target controls. While we observed excellent correlation between genes dysregulated by either PTPN14 or LATS1 knockdown within each cell line (HK2, CAKI-1 and A704), the overlap across the 3 cell lines was only 23 genes. Further, these 23 genes did not show concordant differential expression in MTSCC tumors. Overall, these results illustrate the marked tissue specificity of Hippo pathway targets.Finally, taken together, nearly all cases of MTSCC exhibit some evidence of Hippo pathway dysregulation. Overall design: Cell lines (CAKI-1, HK2 or A704) were either transfected with 2 independent siRNAs or non-target controls. Forty eight hours post transcription total RNA was isolated and subjected to RNA-seq analysis
