We examined skin biopsies from a diverse cohort of 23 SSc patients (including lesional forearm and non-lesional back samples) by RNA-seq. Metagenomic filtering and annotation was performed using the Integrated Metagenomic Sequencing Analysis (IMSA). Associations between microbiome composition and gene expression were analyzed using single-sample gene set enrichment analysis (ssGSEA).

View SamplesEstrogens have been shown to elicit anti-cancer effects against estrogen receptor alpha (ER)-positive breast cancer. We sought to determine the underlying mechanism of therapeutic response. Response to estrogen treatment was assessed in ER+ breast cancer models of anti-estrogen resistant disease: WHIM16 patient-derived xenografts, C7-2-HI and C4-HI murine mammary adenocarcinomas, and long-term estrogen-deprived MCF-7 cells.

View SamplesMicroenvironmental secreted factor screening revealed cytokines that modulate drug sensitivity in ER+ breast cancer cells. BMP4 was a top hit that is not normally expressed in ER+ breast cancer, and was found to enhance efficacy of anti-estrogens and CDK4/6i in anti-estrogen-sensitive and -resistant ER+ breast cancer cells. The anti-cancer effects of BMP4 were mediated by ALK3 and canonical BMP pathway signaling, leading to downstream p21 induction and cell cycle arrest. The clinical relevance of this phenotype was confirmed in analyses of 3 cohorts of patients with ER+ breast cancer, highlighting BMP4 pathway activation as a potential therapeutic opportunity in ER+ breast cancer.

View SamplesThe cysteine-rich PLAC8 domain occurs in proteins found in the majority of Eukaryotes. PLAC8-containing proteins play important yet diverse roles in different organisms, such as control of cell proliferation in animals and plants or heavy metals resistance in plants and fungi. For example, Onzin from Mus musculus is a key regulator of cell proliferation, whereas FCR1 from the ascomycete Oidiodendron maius is involved in cadmium resistance. We compared these two PLAC8-containing proteins by heterologous expression in the PLAC8-free yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae in order to identify possible common functions. When expressed in yeast, both Onzin and FCR1 improved yeast cadmium resistance, reduced cadmium-induced DNA mutagenesis, localized in the nucleus and induced similar transcriptional changes. Our results support the hypothesis of a common ancestral function of the PLAC8 domain that may link Fe-S cluster biogenesis, iron homeostasis and the control of DNA damage, thus opening new perspectives to understand the role of this protein domain in the cellular biology of eukaryotes.

View SamplesThe transcriptional response of Arabidopsis thaliana cell suspensions following treatment with the stress hormone methyl jasmonate (MeJA) was monitored over time 16 hours after subcultivation. Three time points were included: 30 minutes, 2 hours and 6 hours after elicitation with 50µm MeJA or DMSO as a control.
