Description
Expression levels of the RNA-binding protein Quaking (QKI) are low in monocytes of early, human atherosclerotic lesions, but abundant in macrophages of advanced plaques. Specific depletion of QKI protein impaired monocyte adhesion, migration, differentiation into macrophages, and foam cell formation in vitro and in vivo. RNA-seq and microarray analysis of human monocyte and macrophage transcriptomes, including those of a unique QKI haploinsufficient patient, revealed striking changes in QKI-dependent mRNA levels and splicing of RNA transcripts. Overall design: RNA-seq analysis of primary monocytes and macrophages from a QKI haploinsufficient patient and their (control) sibling.
Publication Title
Quaking promotes monocyte differentiation into pro-atherogenic macrophages by controlling pre-mRNA splicing and gene expression.

- Affymetrix Yeast Genome 2.0 Array (yeast2)
Description
When grown on solid substrates, different microorganisms often form colonies with very specific morphologies. Whereas the pioneers of microbiology often used colony morphology to discriminate between species and strains, the phenomenon has not received much recent attention. In this study, we use a genome-wide assay in the model yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae to identify all genes that affect colony morphology. We show that several major signaling cascades, including the MAPK, TORC, SNF1 and RIM101 pathways play a role, indicating that morphological changes are a reaction to changing environments. Other genes that affect colony morphology are involved in protein sorting and epigenetic regulation. Interestingly, the screen reveals only few genes that are likely to play a direct role in establishing colony morphology, one notable exception being FLO11, a gene encoding a cell-surface adhesin that has already been implicated in colony morphology, biofilm formation, and invasive and pseudohyphal growth. Using a series of modified promoters to tune FLO11 expression, we confirm the central role of Flo11 and show that differences in FLO11 expression result in distinct colony morphologies. Together, our results provide a first comprehensive looks at the complex genetic network that underlies the diversity in the morphologies of yeast colonies.

Description
Whether inflammatory macrophages can adopt features of the tissue resident niche and what mechanisms mediate phenotypic conversion remain unclear. In this study, we show by cell surface phenotyping, as well as by RNA-Seq transcriptional profiling and ATAC-Seq open chromatin regions profiling, that inflammatory monocyte can adopt a tissue resident phenotype, which is also accompanied by re-programming of the transcriptional profiles and remodeling of the open chromatin landscape. The conversion process is dependent on Vitamin A, suggesting that Vitamin A deficiency may lead to the failure to resolve inflammation, as inflammatory macrophages accumulate without adopting a tissue residency phenotype. Overall design: Monocyte-derived (N=3), tissue converted (N=3) and tissue resident (N=3) mouse peritoneal macrophages were FACS-sorted for RNASeq and ATACSeq.
Publication Title
Vitamin A mediates conversion of monocyte-derived macrophages into tissue-resident macrophages during alternative activation.

Description
In acute myeloid leukemia (AML), leukemia stem cells (LSCs) play a central role in disease progression and recurrence due to their intrinsic capacity for self-renewal and chemotherapy resistance. Whereas epigenetic regulation balances normal blood stem cell self-renewal and fate decisions, mutation and dysregulation of epigenetic modifiers are now considered fundamental to leukemia initiation and progression. Alterations in miRNA function represent a non-canonical epigenetic mechanism influencing malignant hematopoiesis; however, the function of miRNA in LSC remains undetermined. Here we show that miRNA profiling of fractionated AML populations defines an LSC-specific signature that is highly predictive of patient survival. Gain-of-function genetic analysis demonstrated that miR-126 restrained cell cycle progression, prevented LSC differentiation, and increased LSC self-renewal. miR-126 promoted chemo-resistance, preserving LSC quiescence in part through suppression of the G0-to-G1 gatekeeper, CDK3. Thus, in AML, miRNAs influence patient outcome through post-transcriptional regulation of stemness programs in LSC.

- Affymetrix Arabidopsis ATH1 Genome Array (ath1121501)
Description
In rice (Oryza sativa L.), the haplotype at the multigenic SUBMERGENCE 1 (SUB1) locus determines survival of prolonged submergence. SUB1 encodes two or three group VII Ethylene Response Factor (ERF) family transcription factors, SUB1A, SUB1B and SUB1C. A highly submergence-inducible SUB1A allele is present in lines that are submergence tolerant. This gene is the determinant of submergence tolerance. Here, the heterologous ectopic expression of rice SUB1A and SUB1C in Arabidopsis thaliana was employed to assess the transcriptional network mobilized by ectopic expression of SUB1A and SUB1C.

Description
Proliferation of neoplastic plasma cells within the bone marrow leads to reduced oxygen availability. In response to hypoxia, the transcription factor hypoxia-inducible factor-2alpha (HIF-2) is activated and stabilised. We hypothesise that activation of HIF-2 is a central driver of multiple myeloma disease progression, leading to the induction of transcription of genes associated with angiogenesis, osteoclast activation and cell migration. In this study we assessed the affects of HIF-2 overexpression on gene expression in the human myeloma cell line LP-1.
