Description
Upon illumination, etiolated seedlings experience a transition from heterotrophic to photoautotrophic growth. During this process, the tetrapyrrole biosynthesis pathway provides chlorophyll for photosynthesis. This pathway has to be tightly controlled to prevent the accumulation of photoreactive metabolites and to provide stoichiometric amounts of chlorophyll for its incorporation into photosynthetic protein complexes. Therefore, plants have evolved regulatory mechanisms to synchronize the biosynthesis of chlorophyll and chlorophyll-binding proteins. Two phytochrome-interacting factors (PIF1 and PIF3) and the DELLA proteins, which are controlled by the gibberellin pathway, are key regulators of this process. Here, we show that impairment of TARGET OF RAPAMYCIN (TOR) activity in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana), either by mutation of the TOR complex component RAPTOR1B or by treatment with TOR inhibitors, leads to a significantly reduced accumulation of the photoreactive chlorophyll precursor protochlorophyllide in darkness but an increased greening rate of etiolated seedlings after exposure to light. Detailed profiling of metabolic, transcriptomic, and physiological parameters revealed that the TOR-repressed lines not only grow slower, they grow in a nutrient-saving mode, which allows them to resist longer periods of low nutrient availability. Our results also indicated that RAPTOR1B acts upstream of the gibberellin-DELLA pathway and its mutation complements the repressed greening phenotype of pif1 and pif3 after etiolation.

Description
A catalytic role has been proposed in neoplastic angiogenesis and cancer progression for bone marrow-derived endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs). However, in preclinical and clinical studies the quantitative role of marrow-derived EPCs in cancer vascularization was found to be extremely variable. Adipose tissue represents an attractive source of autologous adult stem cells due to its abundance and surgical accessibility. CD34+cells from Lipotransfer aspirates (LAs) of patients undergoing breast reconstruction after breast cancer surgery were compared with CD34+ cells from Leucapheresis of normal subjects.
Publication Title
The white adipose tissue used in lipotransfer procedures is a rich reservoir of CD34+ progenitors able to promote cancer progression.

Here we show that hematopoietic transcription factors Scl, Lmo2, Runx1 and Bmi1 can convert a developmentally-distant lineage (fibroblasts) into induced hematopoietic progenitors (iHPs). We analyzed transcriptomic data for cell undergoing the transdifferentiation process at several time-points of the process.

Description
Roquin proteins are required to preclude spontaneous T cell activation and aberrant T follicular helper (Tfh) or T helper 17 (Th17) differentiation. Here, we show that deletion of Roquin encoding alleles in regulatory T cells (Tregs) also caused the activation of conventional T cells. These Tregs exhibited a follicular Treg phenotype, CD25 downregulation and could not protect from colitis. Mechanistically, Roquin was required for full expression and activity of Pten and Foxo1, two essential signaling molecules in Tregs and effector T cells. Roquin upregulated Pten by interfering with miR-17~92 binding to an overlapping cis-element in the Pten 3' UTR and downregulated the Foxo1-specific E3 ubiquitin ligase Itch. Loss of Roquin enhanced mTOR signaling and global protein synthesis, while inhibition of PI3K or mTOR in Roquin-deficient CD4+ T cells corrected increased Tfh and Th17 differentiation. Thereby, the control of PI3K-mTOR signaling by Roquin prevents autoimmunity through T cell-intrinsic and Treg-mediated regulation. Overall design: Examination of transcriptome and ribosome occupancy in MEF and T cells upon Roquin expression and inhibition. Examination of Roquin binding sites in the mouse transcriptome of MEF cells. Examination of transcriptome in CD25+ and CD25- Treg cells from WT and Roquin DKO mice.

Description
10 adult participants of dose group 3x10^6 pfu, and 10 participants of dose group 20x10^6 pfu. Reads were aligned to the human reference assembly (GRCh38.p7) using STAR software (v2.4.2a; option ''--quantMode GeneCounts''). Gene annotation was obtained from Ensembl (release 79, ensemble.org). VOOM+Limma analysis (R software, version 3.2.2) was used to assess differential gene expression at each post-vaccination day (d1, d3 and d7) against baseline (d0). Next, we intergreted gene expression data and antibody response using an sPLS algorithm, in order to down-select genes correlating with multivariate antibody responses at days 28, 54, 84,180. Overall design: 56 samples from D0, D1, D3 and D7 were analysed. Data from samples with low RIN (RIN <8, 17 samples), low RNA or library concentration (2 samples), missing samples (5 samples) were set to missing.

Description
Despite the role of the estrogen receptor alpha (ERalpha) pathway as a key growth driver for breast cells, the phenotypic consequence of exogenous introduction of ERalpha into ERalpha-negative cells paradoxically has been growth inhibition. We map the binding profiles of ERalpha and its interacting transcription factors (TFs), FOXA1 and GATA3 in MCF-7 breast carcinoma cells. We observe that these three TFs form a functional enhanceosome and cooperatively modulate the transcriptional networks previously ascribed to ERalpha alone. We demonstrate that these enhanceosome occupied sites are associated with optimal enhancer characteristics with highest p300 coactivator recruitment, RNA Pol II occupancy, and chromatin opening. The enhancesome binding sites appear to regulate the genes driving core ERalpha function. Most importantly, we show that the transfection of all three TFs was necessary to reprogramme the ERalpha-negative MDA-MB-231 and BT-459 cells to restore the estrogen responsive growth and to transcriptionally resemble the estrogen treated ERalpha-positive MCF-7 cells. Cumulatively, these results suggest that all the enhanceosome components comprising ERalpha, FOXA1 and GATA3 are necessary for the full repertoire of cancer associated effects of the ERalpha.

Description
Acute liver injury is a critical life-threatening event. Common causes are infections, intoxication, and ischemic conditions. The cytokine Interleukin 22 (IL-22) has been implicated in this process. However, the role of IL-22 during acute liver damage is controversial, since both protective and pathogenic properties have been reported. IL-22 binding protein (IL-22BP, IL-22Ra2), a soluble endogenous inhibitor of IL-22, is able to regulate IL-22 activity, and thus might explain some of the controversial findings. Since the role of IL-22BP in liver injury is unknown, we used Il22bp deficient mice and mouse models for acute liver damage to address this point. We found that Il22bp deficient mice were more susceptible to ischemia- and acetaminophen- induced liver damage. Deficiency of Il22bp caused increased hepatic damage and delayed liver regeneration. Using an unbiased approach, we found that IL-22, if uncontrolled in Il22bp deficient mice, induced Cxcl10 expression by hepatocytes, thereby recruiting inflammatory CD11b+Ly6C+ monocytes into the liver upon liver damage. Accordingly, neutralization of Cxcl10 reversed the increased disease susceptibility of Il22bp deficient mice. In conclusion, our data suggest dual functions of IL-22 in acute liver damage, and highlight the need to control IL-22 activity via IL-22BP. Overall design: RNA sequencing of RNA isolated from liver tissue from mice that underwent liver reperfusion treatment (IR) or sham surgery, in triplicate for three genotypes (Wt, Il22-/- and Il22bp-/-).
