Description
Long-term memory formation in Drosophila melanogaster is an important neuronal function shaping the insect's behavioral repertoire by allowing an individual to modify behaviors on the basis of previous experiences. In conditioned courtship or courtship suppression, male flies that have been repeatedly rejected by mated females during courtship advances are less likely than na ve males to subsequently court another mated female. This long-term courtship suppression can last for several days after the initial rejection period. Although genes with known functions in many associative learning paradigms, including those that function in cyclic AMP signaling and RNA translocation, have been identified as playing critical roles in long-term conditioned courtship, it is clear that additional mechanisms also contribute. We have used RNA sequencing to identify differentially expressed genes and transcript isoforms between na ve males and males subjected to courtship-conditioning regimens that are sufficient for inducing long-term courtship suppression. Transcriptome analyses 24 hours after the training regimens revealed differentially expressed genes and transcript isoforms with predicted and known functions in nervous system development, chromatin biology, translation, cytoskeletal dynamics, and transcriptional regulation. A much larger number of differentially expressed transcript isoforms were identified, including genes previously implicated in associative memory and neuronal development, including fruitless, that may play functional roles in learning during courtship conditioning. Our results shed light on the complexity of the genetics that underlies this behavioral plasticity and reveal several new potential areas of inquiry for future studies.

Description
To uncover the gene expression alterations that occur during lung cancer progression, we interrogated the gene expression state of neoplastic cells at different stages of malignant progression. We initiated tumors in KrasLSL-G12D/+;p53flox/flox;R26LSL-tdTomato (KPT) mice with a pool of barcoded lentiviral-Cre vectors and purified Tomatopositive cancer cells away from the diverse and variable stromal cell populations. Five to nine months after tumor initiation, cancer cells were isolated from individual primary tumors and metastases using fluorescence-activated cell sorting. Sequencing of the barcode region of the integrated lentiviral vectors established primary tumor-metastasis and metastasis-metastasis relationships. Tumor barcoding allowed us to unequivocally distinguish non-metastatic primary tumors (TnonMet) from those primary tumors that had seeded metastases (TMet). We profiled 10 TnonMet samples as well as TMet and metastasis (Met) samples representing 12 metastatic events. To examine additional earlier stages of lung cancer development, we also analyzed premalignant cells from hyperplasias that develop in KPT mice shortly after tumor initiation (KPT-Early; KPT-E), as well as tumors from KrasG12D;R26LSL-tdTomato (KT) mice which rarely gain metastatic ability Overall design: This study includes 52 samples: 3 KP late samples, 3KPT early samples,10 non-metastatic primary tumors, 9 metastatic primary tumors, and 27 metastasis in different organs. total RNA was isolated and prepared for sequencing using the Ovation® RNA-Seq system and Illumina TruSeq DNA kit (v2) to generate 100bp paired end reads. Reads were aligned to mm10.

Description
Extracellular matrix interactions play essential roles in normal physiology and many pathological processes. Here, we report a novel screening platform capable of measuring phenotypic responses to combinations of ECM molecules. While the importance of ECM interactions in metastasis is well documented, systematic approaches to identify their roles in distinct stages of tumorigenesis have not been described. Using a genetic mouse model of lung adenocarcinoma, we measured the ECM-dependent adhesion of tumor-derived cells. Hierarchical clustering of adhesion profiles generated using this platform differentially segregated metastatic cell lines from primary tumor lines. Furthermore, we uncovered that metastatic cells selectively associate with fibronectin when in combination with galectin-3, galectin-8, or laminin. These interactions appear to be mediated in part by 31 integrin both in vitro and in vivo. We show that these galectins also correlate with human disease at both a transcriptional and histological level. Thus, our in vitro platform allowed us to interrogate the interactions of metastatic cells with their surrounding environment, and identified ECM and integrin interactions that could lead to therapeutic targets for metastasis prevention.

Description
One of sleep's putative functions is mediation of adaptation to waking experiences. Chronic stress is a common waking experience, however, which specific aspect of sleep is most responsive, and how sleep changes relate to behavioral disturbances and molecular correlates remain unknown. We quantified sleep, physical, endocrine, and behavioral variables, as well as the brain and blood transcriptome in mice exposed to 9 weeks of unpredictable chronic mild stress (UCMS). Comparing 46 phenotypical variables revealed that rapid-eye-movement sleep (REMS), corticosterone regulation, and coat state were most responsive to UCMS. REMS theta oscillations were enhanced, whereas delta oscillations in non-REMS were unaffected. Transcripts affected by UCMS in the prefrontal cortex, hippocampus, hypothalamus, and blood were associated with inflammatory and immune responses. A machine-learning approach controlling for unspecific UCMS effects identified transcriptomic predictor sets for REMS parameters that were enriched in 193 pathways, including some involved in stem cells, immune response, apoptosis, and survival. Only three pathways were enriched in predictor sets for non-REMS. Transcriptomic predictor sets for variation in REMS continuity and theta activity shared many pathways with corticosterone regulation, in particular pathways implicated in apoptosis and survival, including mitochondrial apoptotic machinery. Predictor sets for REMS, and anhedonia shared pathways involved in oxidative stress, cell proliferation, and apoptosis. These data identify REMS as a core and early element of the response to chronic stress, and identify apoptosis and survival pathways as a putative mechanism by which REMS may mediate the response to stressful waking experiences. Overall design: Study of transcriptomic changes in three stress- and sleep-related brain regions (prefrontal cortex, hippocampus, hypothalamus) and blood following 9 weeks of Unpredictable Chronic Mild Stress (UCMS) in mice.

Description
Tumorigenesis is a multistep process that results from the sequential accumulation of mutations in key oncogene and tumor-suppressor pathways. The quest to personalize cancer medicine based on targeting these underlying genetic abnormalities presupposes that sustained inactivation of tumor suppressors and activation of oncogenes are required for tumor maintenance. Mutations in the p53 tumor-suppressor pathway are a hallmark of cancer and significant efforts toward pharmaceutical reactivation of mutant p53 pathways are underway1-3. Here we show that restoration of p53 in established murine lung tumors leads to significant but incomplete tumor cell loss specifically in malignant adenocarcinomas but not in adenomas. Also, we define amplification of MAPK signaling as a critical determinant of malignant progression. The differential response to p53 restoration depends on activation of the Arf tumor suppressor downstream of hyperactive MAPK signaling. We propose that p53 naturally limits malignant progression by responding to increased oncogenic signaling, but is unresponsive to low levels of oncogene activity that are sufficient for early stages of lung tumor development. These data suggest that restoration of pathways important in tumor progression, as opposed to initiation, may lead to incomplete tumor regression due to the stage-heterogeneity of tumor cell populations.
