Description
The Mediator complex allows communication between transcription factors and RNA polymerase II (RNAPII). CDK8, the kinase found in some variants of Mediator, has been characterized mostly as a transcriptional repressor. Recently, CDK8 was demonstrated to be a potent oncoprotein. Here we show that CDK8 is predominantly a positive regulator of gene expression within the serum response network, as it is required for expression of several members of the AP-1 and EGR family of oncogenic transcription factors (e.g. FOS, JUN, EGR1-3). Mechanistic studies demonstrate that CDK8 is not required for recruitment of RNAPII and promoter escape at these loci. Instead, CDK8 depletion leads to the appearance of slower elongation complexes carrying hypophosphorylated RNAPII. We show that CDK8-Mediator regulates precise steps in the assembly of a functional elongation complex, including the recruitment of P-TEFb and BRD4, but is dispensable for recruitment of SPT5 and FACT. Furthermore, CDK8-Mediator specifically interacts with P-TEFb. Thus, we uncovered a novel role for CDK8 in transcriptional regulation that may contribute to its oncogenic effects.

- Affymetrix Mouse Genome 430 2.0 Array (mouse4302)
Description
Most vertebrate organs are composed of epithelium surrounded by support and stromal tissues formed from mesenchyme cells, which are not generally thought to form organized progenitor pools. Here we use clonal cell labeling with multicolor reporters to characterize individual mesenchymal progenitors in the developing mouse lung. We observe a diversity of mesenchymal progenitor populations with different locations, movements, and lineage boundaries. Airway smooth muscle (ASM) progenitors map exclusively to mesenchyme ahead of budding airways. Progenitors recruited from these tip pools differentiate into ASM around airway stalks; flanking stalk mesenchyme can be induced to form an ASM niche by a lateral bud or by an airway tip plus focal Wnt signal. Thus, mesenchymal progenitors can be organized into localized and carefully controlled domains that rival epithelial progenitor niches in regulatory sophistication.

Description
Notch activation is instrumental in the development of most T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) cases, yet Notch mutations alone are not sufficient to recapitulate the full human disease in animal models. We here found that Notch1 activation at the fetal liver (FL) stage expanded the hematopoietic progenitor population and conferred it transplantable leukemic-initiating capacity. However, leukemogenesis and leukemic-initiating cell capacity induced by Notch1 was critically dependent on the levels of ß-Catenin in both FL and adult bone marrow contexts. In addition, inhibition of ß-Catenin compromised survival and proliferation of human T-ALL cell lines carrying activated Notch1. By transcriptome analyses, we identified the MYC pathway as a crucial element downstream of ß-Catenin in these T-ALL cells and demonstrate that the MYC 3'' enhancer required ß-Catenin and Notch1 recruitment to induce transcription. Finally, PKF115-584 treatment prevented and partially reverted leukemogenesis induced by active Notch1. Overall design: Four T-ALL cell lines (RPMI8402, HPB-ALL, Jurkat, CCRF-CEM) were treated with DMSO (control) or PKF115-584 (310nM) for 3hrs. Gene expression changes were measured with Cufflinks comparing the 4 control with the 4 treated samples.

Description
Arabidopsis plants growing under diurnal conditions were transferred to cold of approximately one day duration, starting at different times of the day. All comparisons are of unreplicated pairs and are thus not designed to identify cold-responsive gens in isolation but are rather to supplement existing publicly available data. The overall aim was to use a diverse set of experiments to see which factors have the greatest influence on the identity of cold-responsive genes.

Description
To address the neglected possibility for global mRNA changes in microarray experiments we developed a simple method to generate external controls for Affymetrix microarrays to allow these platforms to measure absolute mRNA expression at the global level. We used publicly available data to select probesets that never detect endogenous transcripts, and used PCR and IVT to generate synthetic mRNAs corresponding to them. After quality control and testing, these control transcripts were spiked into total RNA samples from plants before and after 24 h of cold treatment. Due to changes in the proportion of mRNA, these data reveal intensity-dependent bias in expression estimates based on standard all-gene normalizations. When not accounted for, this leads to false classification of the differential expression for thousands of genes.

Description
We have generated a mouse model for tumor initiation carrying a mutation in APC and lacking IKKa in intestinal epithelial cells. IKKa-deficient intestinal cells primarily failed to generate adenomas, and the few adenomas arising in this background displayed a significant reduction in cell proliferation. Using an in vitro model for intestinal tumoroids (derived from adenoma initiating cells), we have performed RNA sequencing of wild type and IKKa-deficient intestinal tumoroids. This has demonstrated that epithelial IKKa controls transcription of stem cell-related genes and genes associated with proliferation and apoptosis. Overall design: RNA sequencing of IKKa WT and KO tumoroids, done in triplicates
Publication Title
IKKα is required in the intestinal epithelial cells for tumour stemness.

Description
Variant late-infantile (vLINCL) and juvenile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (JNCL) share clinical and pathological features, including lysosomal accumulation of mitochondrial ATP synthase subunit c, but the unrelated CLN6 and CLN3 genes may initiate disease via similar or distinct cellular processes. To gain insight into the NCL pathways, we established murine wild-type and vLINCL CbCln6nclf cerebellar cells and compared them to wild-type and JNCL CbCln3ex7/8 cerebellar cells. CbCln6nclf/nclf cells and CbCln3ex7/8/ex7/8 cells both displayed abnormally elongated mitochondria and reduced cellular ATP levels and, as cells aged to confluence, exhibited accumulation of subunit c protein in Lamp 1-positive organelles. However, at sub-confluence, endoplasmic reticulum PDI immunostain was decreased only in CbCln6nclf/nclf cells, while fluid-phase endocytosis and LysoTracker labeled vesicles were decreased in both CbCln6nclf/nclf and CbCln3ex7/8/ex7/8 cells, though only the latter cells exhibited abnormal vesicle subcellular distribution. Furthermore, unbiased gene expression analyses revealed only partial overlap in the cerebellar cell genes and pathways that were altered by the Cln3ex7/8 and Cln6nclf mutations. Thus, these data support the hypothesis that vLINCL and JNCL mutations trigger distinct processes that converge on a shared pathway, which is responsible for proper subunit c protein turnover and neuronal cell survival.
