Description
T4 and T5 neurons are components of the neuronal circuit for motion vision in flies. To identify genes involved in neuronal computation of T4 and T5 neurons, we perfomed transcriptome analysis. Nuclei of T4 and T5 neurons were immunoprecipitated, total RNA was harvested and used for mRNA-seq with Illumina technology. In two biological replicates, we mapped 154 and 119 million reads to D. melanogaster genome. mRNA-seq provided information about expression levels of 17,468 annotated transcripts in the T4 and T5 neurons. Overall design: Cell type – specific transcriptome analysis of the RNA isolated from immunoprecipitated nuclei, performed in two biological replicates

Description
RNA seq analyses were performed in granulosa cells (GCs) collected from gonadotropin treated ESR2 mutant rats. Data obtained from a null mutant with Esr2 exon 3 deletion (?3) and another DNA binding domain (DBD) mutant with exon 4 deletion (?4) were compared to that of wildtype (WT) rats. The raw data were analyzed using CLC genomics workbench. High quality RNA-sequencing reads were aligned to the Rattus norvegicus genome. Differentially expressed genes in ?3 or ?4 Esr2-mutant GCs were identified based on the following criteria: FDR p-Value =0.05 and an absolute fold change of 2. Fewer differentially expressed genes were identified in ?3 compared to the ?4 mutant group. As both of the mutant groups demonstrated a common phenotype of ovulation failure, differentially expressed genes common to both in ?3 and ?4 mutant rats were emphasized and further analyzed in the companion article “ESR2 regulates granulosa cell genes essential for follicle maturation and ovulation” (Khristi et al., 2018).

Description
The Iroquois homeodomain transcription factor gene IRX3 is highly expressed in the developing nervous system, limb buds and heart. In adults, expression levels specify risk of obesity. We now report a significant functional role for IRX3 in human acute leukemia. While transcript levels are very low in normal human bone marrow cell populations, high level IRX3 expression is observed in ~30% of patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), ~50% of patients with T-acute lymphoblastic leukemia and ~20% of patients with B-acute lymphoblastic leukemia, typically in association with high levels of HOXA9. Expression of IRX3 alone was sufficient to immortalise murine bone marrow stem and progenitor cells, and induce T- and B-lineage leukemias in vivo with incomplete penetrance. IRX3 knockdown induced terminal differentiation of AML cells. Combined IRX3 and Hoxa9 expression in murine bone marrow stem and progenitor cells substantially enhanced the morphologic and phenotypic differentiation block of the resulting AMLs by comparison with Hoxa9-only leukemias, through suppression of a myelomonocytic program. Likewise, in cases of primary human AML, high IRX3 expression is associated with reduced myelomonocytic differentiation. Thus, tissue-inappropriate derepression of IRX3 modulates the cellular consequences of HOX gene expression to enhance differentiation block in human AML. Overall design: Murine acute myeloid leukemias - 3 samples from separate mice with AML initiated by HOXA9 and 3 samples from separate mice with AML initiated by HOXA9 and IRX3 coexpression

Description
It It is known that functional maturation of the small intestine occurring during the weaning period is facilitated by glucocorticoids (such as hydrocortisone, HC) including the increased expression of digestive hydrolases. However, the molecular mechanism(s) are not well understood, particularly in human gut. Here we report a microarray analysis of HC- induced changes in gene expression in H4 (a human fetal small intestinal epithelial cell line well-characterized in numerous previous studies). This study identified a large number of HC-affected genes, some involved in metabolism, cell cycle regulation, cell polarity, tight junction formation, and interactions with extracellular matrices. These effects could play an important role in HC-mediated enterocyte maturation in vivo and in vitro.

Description
To elucidate the mechanisms by which Nrf2 regulates cell growth, we performed global gene expression profiling of A549 lung cancer cells with knockdown of Nrf2. Gene networks associated with carbohydrate metabolism and drug metabolism were significantly downregulated in Nrf2-depleted A549 cells. Gene Set Enrichment Analysis revealed significant enrichment of genes associated with carbohydrate catabolic processes, positive regulation of metabolic processes, PPP, and arachidonic acid metabolism. In summary, this analysis revealed that Nrf2 positively regulates transcription of genes that play key roles in central carbon metabolism.

Description
Elevated levels of androgen receptor (AR) in prostate cancer confer resistance to current antiandrogens and play a causal role in disease progression due to persistent target gene activation. Through pharmacologic and genetic approaches, we show that half of all direct AR target genes, including TMPRSS2, the primary driver of ETS fusion transcripts in 70 percent of human prostate cancers, require histone deacetylase (HDAC) activity for transcriptional activation by AR. Surprisingly, the HDAC3-NCoR complex, which typically functions to repress gene expression by nuclear receptors, is required for AR target gene activation. Prostate cancer cells treated with HDAC inhibitors have reduced AR protein levels, but we show that the mechanism of blockade of AR activity is through failure to assemble a coactivator/RNA polymerase II complex after AR binds to the enhancers of target genes. Failed complex assembly is associated with a phase shift in the cyclical wave of AR recruitment that typically occurs in response to ligand treatment. HDAC inhibitors retain the ability to block AR activity in hormone refractory prostate cancer models and therefore merit clinical investigation in this setting. HDAC-regulated AR target genes defined here can serve as biomarkers to ensure sufficient levels of HDAC inhibition.
