Description
We profiled basal and bicuculline+4-AP inducible mRNA expression in cultured mouse hippocampal neurons with or without viral shRNA mediated knockdown of Kdm6b Overall design: We harvested mRNA from neurons under four conditions (pLKO vector/treatment control, pLKO vector/3hr bicuculline+4AP, Kdm6b knockdown/treatment control,Kdm6b knockdown/3hr bicuculline+4AP). Libraries were generated and used for RNA sequencing.

Description
Proliferation of neoplastic plasma cells within the bone marrow leads to reduced oxygen availability. In response to hypoxia, the transcription factor hypoxia-inducible factor-2alpha (HIF-2) is activated and stabilised. We hypothesise that activation of HIF-2 is a central driver of multiple myeloma disease progression, leading to the induction of transcription of genes associated with angiogenesis, osteoclast activation and cell migration. In this study we assessed the affects of HIF-2 overexpression on gene expression in the human myeloma cell line LP-1.

Description
Pericytes derived from skin dermis can substantially enhance the short-term tissue-regenerative capacity of human epidermal cells already committed to differentiation; they also display both phenotypic and functional properties of mesenchymal stem cells. In this microarray analysis, we compared the gene expression profile of dermal pericytes to that of the remaining dermal cells of neonatal human foreskin.
Publication Title
A role for pericytes as microenvironmental regulators of human skin tissue regeneration.

Description
cJun is a transcription factor activated by phosphorylation by SAPK/JNK MAP kinase pathway that has been linked to atherosclerosis. Adenovirus mediated gene transfer of a dominant negative form of cJun in C57BL/6 mice increased greatly the apolipoprotein E (ApoE) mRNA and plasma apoE levels and induced dyslipidmia, characterized by increased plasma cholesterol, triglyceride and VLDL levels and accumulation of discoidal HDL particles. Unexpectedly, infection of ApoE-/- mice with adenovirus expressing dn-cJun reduced by 50% plasma cholesterol, suggesting that the dn-cJun affected other genes that control plamsa cholesterol. To determine the molecular pathways implicated in this process we performed whole genome expression profiling using total RNA from the liver of infected ApoE-/- mice.

Description
In order to define the transcriptional network functionally regulated by Pax8 as well as infer its direct targets, we performed RNAi to knock-down Pax8 gene in FRTL-5 thyroid cells. Expression data from three independent silencing experiments were analyzed by microarray technology unraveling 2815 genes differentially expressed between silenced cells and controls. Of these, 1421 genes were down-regulated and 1394 genes were up-regulated 72hrs after Pax8 silencing.
Publication Title
Identification of novel Pax8 targets in FRTL-5 thyroid cells by gene silencing and expression microarray analysis.

Description
CCAR2 is a nuclear protein recently emerged as a pivotal player of the DNA damage response since it has been found involved in both apoptosis induction and DNA repair. Differently, its role in tumorigenesis and cancer progression is still elusive. In our studies we found that CCAR2 depletion impairs the proliferation of human cancer cell lines, but leaves unaffected the growth of normal immortalized cells. To better investigate this point we performed a genome wide gene expression analyses in U2OS and BJ-hTERT depleted of CCAR2 and we found that loss of this protein causes the deregulation of genes implicated in the AKT pathway specifically in U2OS cells, but not in BJ-hTERT. In accordance with these results we found a reduction in AKT activation in all the tested cancer cell lines depleted of CCAR2, but not in the normal ones. The defective activation of AKT is caused by the upregulation of TRB3 gene in cancer cells depleted of CCAR2 and finally results in the reduction of GSK3 phosphorylation, prevention of G1/S transition and inhibition of cancer cell growth.

Description
Multiple myeloma is largely incurable, despite development of therapies that target myeloma cell-intrinsic pathways. Disease relapse is thought to originate from dormant myeloma cells, localized in specialized niches, which resist therapy and re-populate the tumor. However, little is known about the niche, and how it exerts cell-extrinsic control over myeloma cell dormancy and re-activation. In this study we track individual myeloma cells by intravital imaging as they colonize the endosteal niche, enter a dormant state and subsequently become activated to form colonies. We demonstrate that dormancy is a reversible state which is switched on by engagement with bone lining cells or osteoblasts, and switched off by osteoclasts remodeling the endosteal niche. Dormant myeloma cells are resistant to chemotherapy targeting dividing cells. The demonstration that the endosteal niche is pivotal in controlling myeloma cell dormancy highlights the potential for targeting cell-extrinsic mechanisms to overcome cell-intrinsic drug resistance and prevent disease relapse.

Osteoclasts control reactivation of dormant myeloma cells by remodelling the endosteal niche.
