Affymetrix Arabidopsis ATH1 Genome Array (ath1121501)
Description
We compared the seedling transcription profiles to determine the effects of loss-of-function of the BRX gene of Arabidopsis. BRX is required for optimal root growth. We compared seedlings of a loss-of-function line (brx) with its control background (Sav-0). Because the loss-of-function line was derived from introgression, a brx line that was complemented by a transgenic wild type copy of BRX was also included as a control. This line (rescued brx) allows the identification of expression differences that are due to introgression drag. See Mouchel et al. 2004, Genes & Dev. Vol. 18, p. 700 for a detailed description. We also compared to response of the different genotypes to the application of the phytohormones brassinolide (BL) and indole acetic acid (IAA)

Description
Chromodomains are found in many regulators of chromatin structure. Most of them recognize methylated histones. Here, we investigate the role of the Corto chromodomain. This Drosophila melanogaster Enhancer of Polycomb and Trithorax is involved in both silencing and activation of gene expression. Overexpression of Corto chromodomain (CortoCD) in transgenic flies show that this domain is critical for Corto function and behaves as a chromatin-targeting module. Mass spectrometry analysis of peptides pulled down by CortoCD from nuclear extracts reveals that they correspond to nuclear ribosomal proteins (RPs). Notably, CortoCD binds with high affinity RPL12 tri-methylated on lysine 3 (RPL12K3me3) as demonstrated by real-time interaction analyses. Co-localization of Corto and RPL12 with active epigenetic marks on polytene chromosomes suggests that they are involved in fine-tuning transcription of genes located in open chromatin. Hence, pseudo-ribosomal complexes composed of various RPs might participate in regulation of gene expression in connection with chromatin regulators. RNA-seq analysis of wing imaginal discs overexpressing either Corto or RPL12 show that most deregulated genes are shared by both factors. Interestingly, these common targets are enriched in RP genes suggesting that Corto and RPL12 are involved in dynamic coordination of ribosome biogenesis. Overall design: To address the role of Corto and RPL12 in regulation of transcription, we deep-sequenced transcripts of wing imaginal discs from third instar larvae over-expressing either FH-cortoCD or RpL12-Myc under control of the wing-specific scalloped::Gal4 driver (sd::Gal4>UAS::FH-cortoCD or sd::Gal4>UAS::RpL12-Myc). Total RNA from FH-cortoCD or RpL12-Myc, the sd::Gal4/+ control or a w1118 reference line were isolated from pools of wing imaginal discs and subjected to RNA-seq on an Illumina high throughput sequencer.

Description
BRAF oncogene is mutated in ~50% of human cutaneous melanomas. The BRAF V600E mutation leads to constitutive activation of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway fuelling cancer growth. The inhibitors of BRAF V600E (BRAFi), lead to massive and high response rate. However, BRAFi-resistant cells that operate as a cellular reservoir for relapses severely limits the duration of the clinical response. The recent depiction of these resistant cells did not identify druggable targets to ensure long-term survival under BRAFi. Here, we identify the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) as a target to eradicate resistant cells. We show that BRAFi bind to AhR on a new site, named beta-pocket, and reprogram gene expression independently of its partner ARNT. beta-pocket activation induces a pigmentation signature, which is associated to BRAFi-induced cell death of sensitive BRAF V600E melanoma cells and tumour shrinkage. Intriguingly, in resistant cells, BRAFi does not induced a pigmentation signature since these cells display another AhR program; AhR-ARNT dependant. By this way, AhR directs several key BRAFi-resistant genes. At single cell level, this constitutive activation of AhR-ARNT is identified in rare cells before BRAFi-treatment of melanoma tumours and an enrichment of these alpha-cells is observed under BRAFi. Our data strongly suggest that an endogenous AhR ligand activates AhR-ARNT via the canonical AhR pocket (alpha-pocket), thus favouring BRAFi-resistant gene expression. Importantly, we identify the clinically compatible AhR antagonist, the resveratrol (RSV), able to abrogate the deleterious constitutive activation of AhR and to reduce the cellular reservoir for the relapse. Taken together, this work reveals that constitutive AhR signalling drives BRAFi resistance and constitutes a therapeutic target to achieve long-term patient survival under BRAFi. More broadly, the constitutive activation of AhR by endogenous ligands is in line with the ability of UV radiations to generate potent AhR ligands and to favour melanoma onset. Overall design: Total RNA isolated from 12 human melanoma cell lines (501Mel) after different treatments was subjected to multiplexed RNA-sequencing using Illumina NextSeq500 sequencing tehnology.

Description
During the course of adjuvant arthritis, maximal changes in gene expression were observed at the incubation phase. A major group of genes affected was related to immune activity. Tolerance induction by mycobacterial heat-shock protein 65 (Bhsp65), the disease-related antigen, caused upregulation of a large number of genes. These included immune activity genes as well as cell proliferation-related genes.
