Mutation or epigenetic silencing of the transcription factor C/EBP is observed in ~10% of patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). In both cases, a common global gene expression profile is observed, but down-stream targets relevant for leukemogenesis are not known. Here we identify Sox4 as a direct target of C/EBP whereby its expression is inversely correlated with C/EBP activity. Downregulation of Sox4 abrogated increased self-renewal of leukemic cells and restored their differentiation. Gene expression profiles of leukemia initiating cells (LICs) from both Sox4 overexpression and murine mutant C/EBP AML models clustered together, but differed from other types of AML. Our data demonstrate that Sox4 overexpression resulting from C/EBP inactivation contributes to the development of leukemias with a distinct LIC phenotype.
Sox4 is a key oncogenic target in C/EBPα mutant acute myeloid leukemia.

View SamplesMyosin IIa-deficient follicular B cells have a hyperactivated phenotype. To identify what pathways are regulated by myosin IIa, we performed RNA-seq of coding RNA on flow cytometry sorted follicular B cells from CD23Cre+Myh9fl/fl and CD23Cre+Myh9wt/fl mice. Overall design: B220+AA4.1-CD23+CD21lo follicular B cells were sorted from 3 CD23Cre+Myh9fl/fl and 3 CD23Cre+Myh9wt/fl mice and mRNA was isolated and sequenced.

View SamplesAccumulating evidence suggests that dysregulation of hypoxia-regulated transcriptional mechanisms is involved in development of chronic kidney diseases (CKD). However, it remains unclear how hypoxia-induced transcription factors (HIFs) and subsequent biological processes contribute to CKD development and progression. In our study, genome-wide expression profiles of more than 200 renal biopsies from patients with different CKD stages revealed significant correlation of HIF-target genes with eGFR in glomeruli and tubulointerstitium. These correlations were positive and negative and in part compartment-specific. Microarrays of proximal tubular cells and podocytes with stable HIF1 and/or HIF2 suppression displayed cell type-specific HIF1/HIF2-dependencies as well as dysregulation of several pathways. WGCNA analysis identified gene sets that were highly coregulated within modules. Characterization of the modules revealed common as well as cell group- and condition-specific pathways, GO-Terms and transcription factors. Gene expression analysis of the hypoxia-interconnected pathways in patients with different CKD stages revealed an increased dysregulation with loss of renal function. In conclusion, our data clearly point to a compartment- and cell type-specific dysregulation of hypoxia-associated gene transcripts and might help to improve the understanding of hypoxia, HIF dysregulation, and transcriptional program response in CKD.
