- Affymetrix Human Gene 1.0 ST Array (hugene10st)
Description
Gene expression profile (GEP) was analyzed in bone marrow (BM) samples from patients with leukemia or leukemic phase of lymphoma at different time points following aspiration. Among numerous changes in GEP evolved over time a discrete subset of > 60 genes exhibited prompt and sustained switch in expression consistently. Similar results were discovered recently in BM samples from patients with multiple myeloma (GSE36036). GEP was also examined in peripheral blood as well as in BM samples depleted of red blood cells (=WBC) and in cultured cells from some of the patients.

Description
Background: Here, the role of a-ketoglutarate (aKG) in the epi-metabolic control of DNA demethylation has been investigated in therapeutically relevant cardiac mesenchymal cells (CMSCs) isolated from controls and type 2 diabetes donors. Methods & results: Quantitative global analysis, methylated and hydroxymethylated DNA sequencing and gene specific GC methylation detection revealed an accumulation of 5mC, 5hmC and 5fC in the genomic DNA of human CMSCs isolated from diabetic (D) donors (D-CMSCs). Whole heart genomic DNA analysis revealed iterative oxidative cytosine modification accumulation in mice exposed to high fat diet (HFD), injected with streptozotocin (STZ) or both in combination (STZ-HFD). In this context, untargeted and targeted metabolomics indicated an intracellular reduction of aKG synthesis in D-CMSCs and in the whole heart of HFD mice. This observation was paralleled by a compromised thymine DNA glycosylase (TDG) and ten eleven translocation protein 1 (TET1) association and function with TET1 relocating out of the nucleus. Molecular dynamics and mutational analyses showed that aKG binds TDG on Arg275 providing an enzymatic allosteric activation. As a consequence, the enzyme significantly increased its capacity to remove G/T nucleotide mismatched or 5fC. Accordingly, an exogenous source of aKG restored the DNA demethylation cycle by promoting TDG function, TET1 nuclear localization and TET/TDG association. TDG inactivation by CRISPR/Cas9 knockout or TET/TDG siRNA knockdown induced 5fC accumulation thus partially mimicking the diabetic epigenetic landscape in cells of non- diabetic origin. The novel compound (S)-2-[(2,6-dichlorobenzoyl)amino]succinic acid (AA6), identified as an inhibitor of aKG-dehydrogenase, increased the aKG level in D- CMSCs and in the heart of HFD mice eliciting DNA demethylation, glucose uptake and insulin response. Conclusions: In this report we established that diabetes may epigenetically modify and compromise function of therapeutically relevant cardiac mesenchymal cells. Restoring the epi-metabolic control of DNA demethylation cycle promises beneficial effects on cells compromised by environmental metabolic changes. Overall design: Human primary cardiac mesenchymal cells (CMSC) from 7 diabetic (D) and 7 non-diabetic (ND) donors were analyzed after few rounds of ex vivo expansion. RNA was isolated and sequenced.

Description
The rate of RNA Polymerase II (RNAPII) elongation has an important role in the control of Alternative splicing (AS); however, the in vivo consequences of an altered elongation rate are unknown. Here, we generated mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs) knocked-in for a slow elongating form of RNAPII. We show that a reduced transcriptional elongation rate results in early embryonic lethality in mice and impairs the differentiation of ESCs into the neural lineage. This is accompanied by changes in splicing and in gene expression in ESCs and along the pathway of neuronal differentiation. In particular, we found a crucial role for RNAPII elongation rate in transcription and splicing of long neuronal genes involved in synapse signaling. The impact of the kinetic coupling of RNAPII elongation rate with AS is more predominant in ESC-differentiated neurons than in pluripotent cells. Our results demonstrate the requirement for an appropriate transcriptional elongation rate to ensure proper gene expression and to regulate AS during development. Overall design: 4sURDB-Seq mouse wt and homozygous Polr2a[R749H] mutant embryonic stem cells in triplicates.

Description
Some aspects of the gene expression-based classification method were robust because the gliomasphere cultures retained their classification over many passages, and IDH1 mutant gliomaspheres were all proneural. While gene expression of a subset of gliomasphere cultures was more like the parent tumor than any other tumor, gliomaspheres did not always harbor the same classification as their parent tumor. Classification was not associated with whether a sphere culture was derived from primary or recurrent GBM or associated with the presence of EGFR amplification or rearrangement. Unsupervised clustering of gliomasphere gene expression distinguished 2 general categories (mesenchymal and nonmesenchymal), while multidimensional scaling distinguished 3 main groups and a fourth minor group. Unbiased approaches revealed that PI3Kinase, protein kinase A, mTOR, ERK, Integrin, and beta-catenin pathways were associated with in vitro measures of proliferation and sphere formation. Associating gene expression with gliomasphere phenotypes and patient outcome, we identified genes not previously associated with GBM: PTGR1, which suppresses proliferation, and EFEMP2 and LGALS8, which promote cell proliferation.

Description
Background: microRNAs (miRNAs) are approximately 21 nucleotide non-coding transcripts capable of regulating gene expression. The most widely studied mechanism of regulation involves binding of the miRNA to a target mRNA, usually in its 3 untranslated region (UTR). As a result, translation of the target mRNA is inhibited and sometimes the mRNA itself can be de-stabilized. The inhibitory effects of miRNAs have been linked to many diverse cellular processes including malignant proliferation and apoptosis, development and differentiation, metabolic processes and neural plasticity. We asked whether endogenous fluctuations in a set of mRNA and miRNA profiles contain correlated changes that are statistically distinguishable from the many other fluctuations in the data set.

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) continues to have the lowest survival rates of all leukemias. Therefore, new therapeutic strategies are urgently needed to improve clinical outcomes for AML patients. Here, we report a novel role for Wilms’ tumor 1-associated protein (WTAP) in pathogenesis of AML. We have performed RNA-Seq in K562 cells with knockdown of WTAP to ascertain which genes it regulates. Overall design: We have 2 replicates of total RNA for K562 cells and 2 replicates with WTAP knocked down

Description
Cdh1 regulates not only mitotic phase and G1 phase, but also G2 checkpoint under irradiation-induced DNA damage. Despite several reports indicating its potential as tumor suppressor, how Cdh1 affects tumorigenesis or tumor progression and its clinical implementation has yet to be evaluated. Considering the pivotal role of Cdh1 on DNA repair, we hypothesized that Cdh1 loss also causes fragility of tumor cells to DNA damage under oncogenic stress or chemotherapy. To test this hypothesis, we established a Cdh1 gene-trapped B cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) mouse model. Cdh1-deficient B-ALL mice survived longer than Cdh1-intact group, with higher susceptibility to DNA damage. Consistently, reverse phase protein array-based analysis of more than 200 human adult B-ALL samples showed that low Cdh1 was associated with high complete remission rates and long remission durations. Furthermore, the clinical benefit with lower Cdh1 expression diminished after relapse, supported by mouse experiments showing that secondary/tertiary transplants of Cdh1-deficient B-ALL cells developed more progressive/resistant disease than Cdh1-intact group. This indicated that prolonged inactivation of Cdh1 eventually develops resistant clones. Our results collectively demonstrated that Cdh1 is a potential predictive biomarker of B-ALL chemosensitivity, but also alerting that synthetic lethality by targeting DNA repair system may eventually induce resistant disease due to genetic instability.
