Description
The death receptor CD95/Fas can be activated by immune cells to kill cancer cells. However, most siRNAs or shRNAs targeting either CD95 or CD95L induce DICE (Death Induced by CD95/CD95L Elimination), a form of cell death in which a combination of different cell death pathways are activated, that is selective for transformed cells, and that preferentially affects cancer stem cells. We now provide evidence that both CD95 and CD95L are part of a network of genes that contain sequences that when expressed as either siRNAs or shRNAs are toxic to cancer cells. They act through canonical RNAi by targeting the 3''UTRs of critical survival genes. We propose that these embedded toxic sequences are part of a conserved mechanism that regulates cell death, and we predict the existence of endogenous siRNAs, that when produced, induce cell death to regulate genome fidelity. Our data have implications for cancer therapy and the use of RNAi. Overall design: 293T (shL3 site deleted) cells were infected with either pTIP-shScr or pTIP-shL3 and following puromycin selection large RNAs were analyzed by deep sequencing 50 or 100hrs after addition of doxycycline/HeyA8 (shR6 site deleted) cells were infected with either pLKO-shScr or pLKO-shR6 and following puromycin selection large RNAs were analyzed by deep sequencing 50 or 100hrs after addition of selection.

Description
There is much controversy about the role of T-regulatory cells (Treg) in human colon cancer. High densities of tumor-infiltrating Treg can correlate with better or worse clinical outcomes depending on the sutdy. Treg have potent anti-inflammatory functions that have been shown to control cancer progression. However, Treg isolated from patient with colon cancer or in mouse models of polyposis do not have the ability to suppress inflammation and instead promote cancer. Gene expression was preformed to determine differences between Treg isolated from healthy mice and Treg isolated from polyp-ridden mice.

Description
A deficiency in cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) function in cystic fibrosis (CF) leads to chronic lung disease. However, the molecular mechanisms are not well understood and therapies that can help all patients remain elusive. CF is associated with abnormalities in fatty acids, ceramides and cholesterol, therefore we examined the impact of CFTR deficiency on lipid metabolism and pro-inflammatory signaling in airway epithelium using mass spectrometric, protein array and RNAseq analyses. We observed a striking imbalance in fatty acid and ceramide metabolism, associated with chronic oxidative stress under basal conditions in CF mouse lung and well differentiated bronchial epithelial cell cultures of CFTR knock out pig and CF patients. Cell autonomous features of all three CF models included high ratios of ω-6- to ω-3-polyunsaturated fatty acids and long- to very long- chain ceramide species (LCC/VLCC). The anti-oxidants glutathione (GSH) and deferoxamine partially corrected the lipid profile indicating that oxidative stress may promote the lipid abnormalities. CFTR-targeted modulators reduced the lipid imbalance and apparent oxidative stress, confirming the CFTR dependence of lipid ratios. RNA sequencing and protein array analysis revealed higher expression and shedding of cytokines and growth factors from CF epithelial cells compared to non-CF cells, consistent with sterile inflammation and tissue remodeling under basal conditions. Treatment with antioxidants or CFTR modulators that mimic the approved combination therapies, Orkambi and Trikafta, did not suppress the inflammatory phenotype. These results suggest that anti-inflammatory therapies may provide additional benefit for CF patients taking CFTR modulator drugs. Overall design: Here we report analysis of nine samples, three of Cf patient (BCF000174), homozygous for F508del CFTR, compared to two non-CF in triplicate each (P21, P11, ErasmusMC, Rotterdam, compared pairwise)

Bipolar disorder (BD) has an estimated heritability of about 80%. Different pathways and candidate genes may contribute to the pathogenesis of BD, but definite mechanisms are yet unresolved. In a previous study, we identified the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs4500567, located in the upstream region of Tetraspanin 8 (TSPAN8), to be associated with bipolar disorder (BD).

Description
Consumption of diets rich in fibers has been associated with several beneficial effects on gastrointestinal health. However, detailed studies on the molecular effects of fibers in colon are limited. In this study we investigated and compared the influence of five different fibers on the mucosal transcriptome, and luminal microbiota and SCFA concentrations in murine colon. Mice were fed diets enriched with fibers that differed in carbohydrate composition, namely inulin (IN), oligofructose (FOS), arabinoxylan (AX), guar gum (GG), resistant starch (RS) or a control diet (corn starch) for 10 days. Gene expression profiling revealed the regulation of specific, but also overlapping sets of epithelial genes by each fiber, which on a functional level were mainly linked to cell cycle and various metabolic pathways including fatty acid oxidation, tricarboxylic acid cycle, and electron transport chain. In addition, the transcription factor PPAR was predicted to be a prominent upstream regulator of these processes. Microbiota profiles were distinct per dietary fiber, but the fibers IN, FOS, AX and GG induced a common change in microbial groups. All dietary fibers, except resistant starch, increased SCFA concentrations but to a different extent. Multivariate data integration revealed strong correlations between the expression of genes involved in energy metabolism and the relative abundance of bacteria belonging to the group of Clostridium cluster XIVa, that are known butyrate producers. These findings illustrate the potential of multivariate data analysis to unravel simple relationships in complex systems.

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a common psychiatric condition of children with a prevalence of 5-10% worldwide. Up to 30% of adults with a history of childhood ADHD maintain symptoms in later life; these adult ADHD patients are severely impaired in social and professional life due to persistence of ADHD core symptoms like impulsivity, attention deficit and hyperactivity as well as frequently observed co-morbidities like alcohol and drug abuse, major depression, bipolar and personality disorders.
