Description
We generated RNA-seq data to measure transcriptional profiles of twenty hPSC-derived NSC populations, representing distinct regions of the developing human hindbrain and rostral cervical spinal cord. These cells are differentiated using a protocol that induces collinear activation of region-specific HOX genes during exposure to FGF8 and Wnt signaling (Lippmann et al, 2015 PMID:25843047). By transitioning to media containing retinoic acid after varying durations of Wnt signaling, NSCs are generated with unique rostrocaudal identities that uniformly express the neuroectodermal marker Pax6 and form N-cadherin+ rosette structures in vitro. Overall design: The data consist of RNA-seq measurements taken from hPSC-derived NSCs that were exposed to CHIR99021 for differents amount of time (2-72hr) prior to retinoic acid treatment. Each time point is represented in triplicate, with the exception of 48 hours, for which one replicate (48_B1) was filtered due to excessive zero-count genes.

Description
Epigenetic alterations appear to modulate Myc signaling. We investigated the role of the histone demethylase JMJD2B in Myc-mediated neuroblastoma pathogenesis. We demonstrate that Myc physically interacts with and recruits this epigenetic modifier, which removes repressive H3K9 methyl marks from Myc-target genes. JMJD2B regulates neuroblastoma proliferation and, together with MYCN amplification, identifies a subgroup of poor prognosis patients. We identify a novel histone demethylase inhibitor, ciclopirox, which targets JMJD2B and, consequently, Myc signaling, thereby inhibiting neuroblastoma proliferation and inducing differentiation. In xenograft studies, genetic and pharmacologic inhibition of JMJD2B resulted in significant tumor growth restriction. Our findings provide insight into epigenetic regulation of Myc via histone methylation and proof-of-concept for pharmacologic inhibition of histone demethylases to target Myc signaling in cancer.

Description
The regulation of necrotic death and its relevance in anti-cancer therapy are largely unknown. Here we have investigated the pro-apoptotic and pro-necrotic activities of two ubiquitin-proteasome system inhibitors (UPSIs): bortezomib and G5. The present study points out that the glioblastoma cell lines U87MG and T98G are useful models to study the susceptibility to apoptosis and necrosis in response to UPSIs. U87MG cells are resistant to apoptosis induced by bortezomib and G5 but susceptible to necrosis induced by G5. On the opposite T98G cells are susceptible to apoptosis induced by both inhibitors but show some resistance to G5-induced necrosis. By comparing the transcriptional profiles of the two cell lines, we have found that the resistance to G5-induced necrosis could arise from differences in glutathione synthesis/utilization and in the microenvironment. In particular collagen IV, which is highly expressed in T98G cells, and fibronectin, whose adhesive function is counteracted by tenascin-C in U87MG cells, can restrain the necrotic response to G5. Collectively, our results provide an initial characterization of the molecular signals governing cell death by necrosis in glioblastoma cell lines.

Description
The deposition of unconjugated bilirubin (UCB) in selected regions of the brain results in irreversible neuronal damage, or Bilirubin Encephalopathy (BE). Although UCB impairs a large number of cellular functions, the basic mechanisms of neurotoxicity have not yet been fully clarified. While cells can accumulate UCB by passive diffusion, cell protection may involve multiple mechanisms including the extrusion of the pigment as well as pro-survival homeostatic responses that are still unknown. The effects of UCB treatment to SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cell line were examined by high density oligonucleotide microarrays. 230 genes were induced after 24 hours. A Gene Ontology (GO) analysis showed that a large group of UCB-induced genes were components of the ER stress response. Independent experimental validation of molecular events crucial for the ER stress response is presented. The results show that UCB exposure induces ER stress response as major intracellular homeostatic response in neuroblastoma cells in vitro. Our finding may provide valuable information for new therapeutic strategies in the treatment of BE.
