Transcriptome analysis following Bcl6 induction (24h doxycycline) in mouse ES-cell-derived cortical progenitors (differentiation day 12) shows that Bcl6 promotes a neurogenic transcription program and represses selective genes of the main proliferative pathways. Overall design: RNA-seq screen for Bcl6-elicited gene expression changes in in vitro cortical progenitors (n=4)

Description
Despite intense investigation of intrinsic and extrinsic factors that regulate pluripotency, the process of initial fate commitment of embryonic stem (ES) cells is still poorly understood. Here, we used a genome wide shRNA screen in mouse ES cells to identify genes that are essential for initiation of differentiation. Knockdown of the scaffolding protein Mek binding protein 1 (Mp1, also known as Lamtor3, Map2k1ip1) stimulated self-renewal of ES cells, blocked differentiation and promoted proliferation. Fibroblast growth factor 4 (FGF4) signaling is required for initial fate commitment of ES cells. Knockdown of Mp1 inhibited FGF4-induced differentiation but did not alter FGF4 driven proliferation. This uncoupling of differentiation and proliferation was also observed when oncogenic Ras isoforms were over expressed in ES cells. Knockdown of Mp1 redirected FGF4 signaling from differentiation towards pluripotency and upregulated the pluripotency-related genes Esrrb, Rex1, Tcl1 and Sox2.

Description
The earliest stages of Huntington’s disease are marked by changes in gene expression that are caused in an indirect and poorly understood manner by polyglutamine expansions in the huntingtin protein (HTT). To explore the hypothesis DNA methylation may be altered in cells expressing mutated HTT, we use reduced-representation bisulfite sequencing (RRBS) to map sites of DNA methylation in cells carrying either wild-type or mutant HTT. We find that a large fraction of the genes that change in expression in the presence of mutant huntingtin demonstrate significant changes in DNA methylation. Regions with low CpG content, which have previously been shown to undergo methylation changes in response to neuronal activity, are disproportionately affected. Based on the sequence of regions that change in methylation, we identify AP-1 and SOX2 as transcriptional regulators associated with DNA methylation changes, and we confirm these hypotheses using genome-wide chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP-Seq). Our findings suggest new mechanisms for the effects of polyglutamine-expanded HTT. These results also raise important questions about the potential effects of changes in DNA methylation on neurogenesis and at later stages, cognitive decline in Huntington’s patients. Overall design: mRNA-seq in STHdhQ7/Q7 and STHdhQ111/Q111 cells

Liver plays a profound role in the acute phase response (APR) observed in the early phase of acute bovine mastitis caused by Escherichia coli (E. coli). To gain an insight into the genes and pathways involved in hepatic APR of dairy cows we performed a global gene expression analysis of liver tissue sampled at different time points before and after intra-mammary (IM) exposure to E. coli lipopolysaccharide (LPS) treatment.

Description
NeuroD1 encodes a basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor involved in the development of neural and endocrine structures. NeuroD1 mRNA is highly abundant in the adult mammalian pineal gland and exhibits a developmental expression pattern similar to the retina. This is consistent with the common evolutionary origin of pinealocytes and retinal photoreceptors. Pinealocytes and retinal photoreceptors express a shared set of phototransduction genes and submammalian pinealocytes are photosensitive. In contrast to the retina, the pineal gland is a relatively homogeneous structure, composed 95% of pinealocytes. This makes the pineal gland a particularly useful model for understanding photoreceptor cell biology. The loss of NeuroD1 in the retina results in progressive photoreceptor degeneration and the molecular mechanisms underlying this retinal degeneration phenotype remain unknown. Similarly, the role that NeuroD1 plays in the pineal gland is unknown.

NeuroD1 is required for survival of photoreceptors but not pinealocytes: results from targeted gene deletion studies.

Description
Regulatory T cells (Treg) are common in the tumor microenvironment in both human pancreatic cancer and in genetically engineered mouse models of the disease. Previous studies in orthotopic syngeneic models of pancreatic cancer -recapitulated in our own data- indicated that Treg depletion results CD8+ T cell-mediated tumor regression. In human patients and in mouse models, regulatory T cells accumulate during the onset of Pancreatic Intraepithelial Neoplasia (PanIN), the earliest steps of carcinogenesis. We thus generated a genetic model to investigate the role of regulatory T cells during the onset of pancreatic carcinogenesis. Unexpectedly, depletion of Tregs during early stages of carcinogenesis led to accelerated tumor progression. Overall design: We are using KC;Foxp3DTR mice generated by crossing KC (Ptf1a-Cre;LSL-KrasG12D) with Foxp3DTR (B6.129(Cg)-Foxp3tm3(DTR/GFP)Ayr/J, Jackson Laboratory). We depleted Foxp3-expressing Tregs by Diphtheria Toxin (DT) injection to determine the requirement of Tregs during oncogenic Kras induced Pancreatic Intraepithelial Neoplasia (PanIN) formation and maintenance. To investigate the mechanisms underlying the tumor-promoting effect of Treg depletion in KC; Foxp3DTR mice we performed RNA sequencing (RNAseq) for myeloid cells (DAPI-EpCAM-CD45+CD11b+) flow-sorted from KC and KC; Foxp3DTR pancreata.

Description
Maternal smoking has a severe negative effect on all stages of pregnancy that in consequence impairs fetal growth and development. Tobacco smoke-related defects are well established at the clinical level; however, little is known about molecular mechanisms underlying these pathological conditions. We thus employed a genomic approach to determine transcriptome alterations induced by maternal smoking in pregnancy. We assayed gene expression profiles in peripheral blood (M) leukocytes and placentas (PL) of pregnant smokers and those without significant exposure, and in cord blood (D) leukocytes of their babies. Comparative analyses defined significant deregulation of 193 genes in M cells, 329 genes in placentas, and 49 genes in D cells of smokers. These genes were mainly involved in xenobiotic metabolism, oxidative stress, inflammation, immunity, hematopoiesis, trophoblast differentiation, and vascularization. Functional annotation of the deregulated genes outlined processes and pathways affected by tobacco smoke. In smoker newborns, we identified several deregulated pathways associated with autoimmune diseases. The study demonstrates a limited ability of placenta to modulate toxic effects of maternal tobacco use at the gene expression level.

Description
Expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) analyses were conducted separately on the glomerular and tubular portions of healthy human kidney samples obtained from subjects of European descent. Overall design: We aimed to define genotype driven gene expression changes in the glomerular and tubular compartments of human kidneys, identifying genetic variants (eVariants) that influence the expression of genes (eGenes). Later, we integrated this information with genotype and phenotype association studies (GWAS) to identify genes for which expression in the kidney shows differences in patients with GWAS variants.
