Affymetrix Yeast Genome 2.0 Array (yeast2)
Description
Previous results suggest that Bmh might inhibit the activity of the transcription factor Adr1 after binding to Adr1-dependent promoters. In a strain lacking the two major histone deacetylases, Hda1 and Rpd3 (hdac), Adr1 is bound to its target promoters recruiting what appears to be an inactive RNA ploymerase II preinitiation complex (PIC). To determine whether Bmh activity inhibits this inactive PIC and the generality of this effect on glucose-repressed gene expression, the mRNA profiles of wild type, bmh mutant, hdac mutant, and bmh hdac mutant cells grown in high glucose medium were compared.

- Affymetrix Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 Array (hgu133plus2)
Description
The accumulation of unfolded or misfolded proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) results in the condition called ER stress which induces the unfolded protein response (UPR) which is a complex cellular process that includes changes in expression of many genes. Failure to restore homeostasis in the ER is associated with human diseases. To identify the underlying changes in gene expression in response to ER stress, we induced ER stress in human B-cells and then measured gene expression at 10 time-points. We followed up those results by studying cells from 60 unrelated people. We rediscovered genes that were known to play a role in ER stress response and uncovered several thousand genes that are not known to be involved. Two of these are VLDLR and INHBE which showed significant increase in expression following ER stress in B-cells and

Description
A "Cartes d'Identite des Tumeurs" (CIT) project from the french Ligue Nationale Contre le Cancer (<a href="http://cit.ligue-cancer.net" target="_blank">http://cit.ligue-cancer.net</a>). 104 samples; Affymetrix U133A micro-arrays.<br></br> <br></br> Ninety two patients with T-ALL were diagnosed and treated at Saint-Louis hospital, Paris. Seven patients were studied at diagnosis and relapse (total 99 T-ALL samples). There were 56 children (median age 9 years old; range 1 to 16), and 36 adults (median age 27; range 17 to 66). Informed consent was obtained from the patients and/or relatives. T-ALL diagnosis was based on morphological and immunophenotypical criteria using flow cytometry and an extended monoclonal antibody panel.<br></br> <br></br> Using a combination of molecular cytogenetic and large-scale expression analysis in human T-ALL, we identified and characterized a new recurrent chromosomal translocation, targeting the major homeobox gene cluster HOXA and the TCRB locus. Specific quantitative PCR analysis showed that the expression of the whole HOXA gene cluster was dramatically dysregulated in the HOXA-rearranged cases, and also in MLL and CALM-AF10-related T-ALL cases, strongly suggesting that HOXA genes are oncogenic in these leukemias. Inclusion of HOXA-translocated cases in a general molecular portrait of 92 T-ALL based on large-scale expression analysis shows that this rearrangement defines a new homogeneous subgroup, which shares common biological networks with the TLX1 and TLX3-related cases. Since T-ALLs derive from T-cell progenitors, expression profiles of the distinct T-ALL subgroups were analyzed with respect to those of normal human thymic sub-populations. Inappropriate utilization or perturbation of specific molecular networks involved in thymic differentiation was detected. Moreover, we found a significant association between T-ALL oncogenic subgroups and ectopic expression of a limited set of genes, including several developmental genes, namely HOXA, TLX1, TLX3, NKX3-1, SIX6 and TFAP2C. These data strongly support the view that the abnormal expression of developmental genes, including the prototypical homeobox genes HOXA, is critical in T-ALL oncogenesis.<br></br> <br></br> Project Leader: <br></br> FranC'ois Sigaux<br></br> Institut Universitaire d'Hematologie<br></br> Hopital Saint Louis, Paris, France<br></br> <br></br> Data submission:<br></br>Fabien Petel

Description
Plexiform neurofibroma is a major contributor to morbidity in Neurofibromatosis type I (NF1) patients. Macrophages and mast cells infiltrate neurofibroma, and data from mouse models implicate these leukocytes in neurofibroma development. Anti-inflammatory therapy targeting these cell populations has been suggested as a means to prevent neurofibroma development. Here, we compare gene expression in inflamed nerves from NF1 models which invariably form neurofibroma to those with inflammation driven by EGFR overexpression which rarely progresses to neurofibroma. We find that the chemokine Cxcl10 is uniquely up-regulated in NF1 mice that invariably develop neurofibroma. Global deletion of the CXCL10 receptor, Cxcr3, prevented neurofibroma development in these neurofibroma-prone mice. Cxcr3 expression localized to T cells and dendritic cells (DCs) in both inflamed nerves and neurofibromas. These data support a heretofore unappreciated role for T cells/DCs in neurofibroma initiation. Overall design: To identify cell populations associated with Cxcl10 expression, we utilized a single-cell RNA-Seq (scRNA-Seq) data set collected from 2-month Dhh-Cre;Nf1 fl/fl nerve/DRG using the 10x Genomics Chromium platform.

Description
The goal of this experiment was to investigate the molecular mechanism of how Set-beta regulates neurite growth. Set-betas subcellular localization is regulated by posttranslational modifications. We found that Set-beta suppresses neurite growth of purified postnatal rat retinal ganglion cell (RGC) primary neurons when it is overexpressed in the nucleus, whereas recruiting Set-beta to cellular membrane by fusing myr-tag to its N-terminus promotes neurite growth. Here, we transfected purified by immunopanning postnatal rat RGC with wild-type Set-beta which localizes to the nucleus, myr-Set-beta which is recruited to cellular membranes, and mCherry control, and analyzed with microarrays Set-betas subcellular localization-dependent effects on gene expression. We found that wild-type Set- regulated expression of significantly more genes than myr-Set-, consistent with wild-type Set-s nuclear localization and previously described roles in regulating transcription. These data reveal potential downstream gene effectors regulating neurite growth, and specific candidate genes could be validated and tested in future experiments.

Description
Tristetraprolin (TTP, encoded by Zfp36) regulates the mRNA stability of several important cytokines. Due to the critical role of this RNA-binding protein in the control of inflammation, TTP deficiency leads to the spontaneous development of a complex inflammatory syndrome. So far, this phenotype has been largely attributed to dysregulated production of TNF and IL-23 by myeloid cells such as macrophages or dendritic cells. Here, we generated mice with conditional deletion of TTP in keratinocytes. These mice developed exacerbated inflammation in the imiquimod-induced psoriasis model. Furthermore, these mice progressively developed a spontaneous pathology with systemic inflammation, psoriatic-like skin lesions and dactylitis. Finally, we provide evidence that keratinocyte-derived TNF productin drives the different pathological features. In summary, these findings expand current views on the initiation of psoriasis and related arthritis by revealing the keratinocyte-intrinsic role of TTP.
