Description
In animal gonads, 23-30nt long PIWI interacting RNAs (piRNAs) guarantee genome integrity by guiding the sequence specific silencing of selfish genetic elements such as transposons. Two major branches of piRNA biogenesis, namely primary processing and ping-pong amplification, feed into the PIWI clade of Argonaute proteins. Despite our conceptual understanding of piRNA biogenesis, major gaps exist in the mechanistic understanding of the underlying molecular processes as well as in the knowledge of the involved players. Here, we demonstrate an essential role for the female sterility gene shutdown in the piRNA pathway. Shutdown, an evolutionarily conserved co-chaperone of the immunophilin class is the first piRNA biogenesis factor that is essential for all primary and secondary piRNA populations in Drosophila. Based on these findings, we define distinct groups of piRNA biogenesis factors and reveal the core concept of how PIWI family proteins are hard-wired into piRNA biogenesis processes. Overall design: small-RNA libraries from 2 control samples and 7 knock-down samples of D. mel. ovaries and 2 small-RNA profiles from Piwi IP and Aub IP from OSCs.

Description
It is often overlooked that human ESCs are generated from in vitro cultured, often surplus/discard, embryos considered unsuitable for transfer in infertility clinics. In vitro culture of preimplantation embryos has been associated with a number of perturbations, including ultrastructure, gene expression, metabolism and post-transfer development. We report here the transcriptional profiles characteristic of ESC lines generated from either in vitro cultured or in vivo derived embryos.

Description
Lacciac Acid A was indentified as an inhibitor of DMNT1. MCF-7 cells were treated with Lacciac Acid A (200 uM) for 5 days. Changes in gene expression were identified by using Affymetrix Human gene ST1.0 arrays. We used microarrays to determine global changes in gene expression upon treatment with Lacciac Acid A an inhibitor of DMNT1.
Publication Title
Laccaic acid A is a direct, DNA-competitive inhibitor of DNA methyltransferase 1.

Description
In Drosophila, PIWI proteins and bound PIWI interacting RNAs (piRNAs) form the core of a small RNA mediated defense system against selfish genetic elements. Within germline cells piRNAs are processed from piRNA clusters and transposons to be loaded into Piwi/Aubergine/AGO3 and a subset of piRNAs undergoes target dependent amplification. In contrast, gonadal somatic support cells express only Piwi, lack signs of piRNA amplification and exhibit primary piRNA biogenesis from piRNA clusters. Neither piRNA processing/loading nor Piwi mediated target silencing is understood at the genetic, cellular or molecular level. We developed an in vivo RNAi assay for the somatic piRNA pathway and identified the RNA helicase Armitage, the Tudor domain containing RNA helicase Yb and the putative nuclease Zucchini as essential factors for primary piRNA biogenesis. Lack of any of these proteins leads to transposon de-silencing, to a collapse in piRNA levels and to a failure in Piwi nuclear accumulation. We show that Armitage and Yb interact physically and co-localize in cytoplasmic Yb-bodies, which flank P-bodies. Loss of Zucchini leads to an accumulation of Piwi and Armitage in Yb-bodies indicating that Yb-bodies are sites of primary piRNA biogenesis. Overall design: small RNA libraries were prepared from Piwi immuno-precipitates of five different genotypes

Description
Aging is a complex process characterized by a progressive decline in physiological integrity that leads to impaired cellular and tissue function. Adult stem cells play a critical role in organismal health and aging. Their age-related deterioration contributes to a reduced homeostatic and regenerative capacity. Notably, most studies of stem cell aging focus on the mechanisms of replicative aging in stem cells with high cellular turnover. Yet, the therapeutic potential of stem cells with low cellular turnover, such as adipose-derived stem cells (ASC), is increasingly recognized as potentially superior. The mechanism of aging in low turnover stem cells is thought to differ from those with high turnover and to more closely reflect chronological aging. The latter, however, is exceedingly difficult to study in slowly replicating primary human stem cells and thus remains poorly understood. Here, we employ our unique model of chronological aging in primary human ASCs to examine genome-wide transcriptional networks in early chronological aging using RNA-seq analyses. Our findings demonstrate that the transcriptome of aging ASCs is more stable than that of age-matched fibroblasts. Limited transcriptional modifications in aging ASCs reveal more active transcriptional profiles of cell cycle genes and translation initiation genes when compared with aging differentiated cells. Accordingly, nascent protein synthesis, measured by incorporation of op-puromycin, is increased in ASCs from older individuals, concurrent with a decreased phosphorylation at ser-51 of eIF2, a mechanism of inhibiting translation initiation. A shortened G1 phase observed in the old ASCs could be linked to the increased protein synthesis activity, potentially resulting in more active cell proliferation. This effect, however, is not detected in aging fibroblasts. The altered regulation of cell cycle in aging ASCs could allow a more active cell proliferation to meet an increase demand to preserve tissue and organ functions. These observations are consistent with data supporting the maintenance of ASC integrity in aging human adipose tissue and reveal early chronological aging mechanisms in ASCs that are inherently different from other cell types.

Description
We examined the transcriptional changes modulated by KDM1A inhibitor NCD-38 by performing global transcriptome analysis. Glioma Stem Cells (GSC10) were treated with either vehicle or NCD-38 for 24 h and the isolated RNA was utilized for RNA-seq analysis. Our results demonstrated that NCD-38 modulated several genes that are involved in unfolded protein response, endoplasmic reticulum stress pathway and NRF-2 mediated oxidative stress response. Overall design: Total RNA was isolated from the GSC10 cells that were treated with vehicle or NCD-38 for 24 hours. Illumina TruSeq RNA Sample Preparation was performed following manufacturer''s protocol. Samples were run on an Illumina HiSeq 2000 in duplicate. The combined raw reads were aligned to UCSC hg19 and genes were annotated by Tophat. Genes were annotated and quantified by HTSeq-DESeq pipeline.
