Description
Purpose: We have identified a new compound (1C8) that inhibits HIV-1 replication and that displays very low cellular toxicity. Here, we assess the molecular mechanisms of action of 1C8. Following transcription of the HIV-1 genome, its primary transcript is processed to produce dozens of distinct mRNAs through the alternative use of splice sites. Results: 1C8 decreases the activity of SRSF10, a cellular protein that controls the selection of splice sites in HIV-1 transcripts. 1C8 decreases the phosphorylation of SRSF10, and this change is associated with alterations in the interaction of SRSF10 with HIV-1 transcripts and factors that control splice site selection. Thus, 1C8 represents a novel compound with properties that are potentially useful for treating HIV-1 infection. Overall design: Examination of RNA-seq to investigate alternative splicing changes between control and 4 different concentrations of a drug that 1C8. 4 replicates were sequenced for each condition.

Affymetrix Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 Array (hgu133plus2)
Description
Gene expression profiling has been performed on motor cortex and spinal cord homogenates and of sporadic ALS cases and controls, to identify genes and pathways differentially expressed in ALS. More recent studies have combined the use of laser capture microdissection (LCM) with gene expression profiling to isolate the motor neurons from the surrounding cells, such as microglia and astrocytes, in order to determine those genes differentially expressed in the vulnerable cell population i.e. motor neuron.

Description
Previous studies in our laboratory demonstrated that the azurophil granule protease neutrophil elastase (NE) cleaves PML-RARA (PR), the fusion protein that initiates acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL). Further, NE deficiency reduces the penetrance of APL in a murine model of this disease. We therefore predicted that NE-mediated PR cleavage might be important for its ability to initiate APL. To test this hypothesis, we generated a mouse expressing NE-resistant PR. These mice developed APL indistinguishable from wild type PR, but with significantly reduced latency (median leukemia-free survival of 274 days versus 473 days for wild type PR, p<0.001). Resistance to proteolysis may increase the abundance of full length PR protein in early myeloid cells, and our previous data suggested that non-cleaved PR may be less toxic to early myeloid cells. Together, these effects appear to increase the leukemogenicity of NE-resistant PR, contrary to our previous prediction. We conclude that NE deficiency may reduce APL penetrance via indirect mechanisms that are still NE dependent.

Description
To better understand the pathogenesis of acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL, FAB M3 AML), we identified genes that are expressed differently in APL cells compared to other acute myeloid leukemia subtypes, and to normal promyelocytes. Comparative gene expression analysis of 14 M3, 62 other AML (M0, M1, M2 and M4) and 5 enriched normal promyelocyte samples revealed a signature of 1,121 genes that are specifically dysregulated in M3 samples relative to other AML, and that do not simply represent normal promyelocyte expression (M3-specific signature). We used a novel, high throughput digital platform (Nanostring's nCounter system) to evaluate a subset of the most significantly dysregulated genes in 30 AML samples; 33 of 37 evaluable gene expression patterns were validated. In an additional analysis, we selected only genes that are dysregulated in M3 both compared to other AML subtypes, and to purified normal CD34+ cells, promyelocytes, and/or neutrophils, thereby isolating a 478 gene "composite M3 dysregulome". Surprisingly, the expression of only a few of these genes was significantly altered in PR-9 cells after PML-RARA induction, suggesting that most of these genes are not direct targets of PML-RARA. Comparison of the M3-specific signature to our previously described murine APL dysregulome revealed 33 commonly dysregulated genes, including JUN, EGR1, and TNF. Collectively, these results suggest that PML-RARA initiates a transcriptional cascade which generates a unique downstream expression signature in both primary human and mouse APL cells.

Description
Engineering of genetically encoded calcium indicators predominantly focused on optimizing fluorescence changes, but effects of indicator expression on host organisms have largely not been addressed. Here, we report biocompatibility and wide-spread functional expression of the genetically encoded calcium indicator TN-XXL in a transgenic mouse model. To validate the model and to characterize potential effects of indicator expression we assessed both indicator function and a variety of host parameters such as anatomy, physiology, behavior and gene expression profiles in these mice. We also demonstrate the usefulness of primary cell types and organ explants prepared from these mice for imaging applications. While we do find mild signatures of indicator expression that may guide further indicator development the green indicator mice generated provide a well characterized resource of primary cells and tissues for in vitro and in vivo calcium imaging applications.
