Description
The Arabidopsis thaliana NAC domain transcription factor, VASCULAR-RELATED NAC-DOMAIN7 (VND7), acts as a key regulator of xylem vessel differentiation. In order to identify direct target genes of VND7, we performed global transcriptome analysis using Arabidopsis transgenic lines in which VND7 activity could be induced post-translationally. This analysis identified 63 putative direct target genes of VND7, which encode a broad range of proteins, such as transcription factors, IRREGULAR XYLEM proteins and proteolytic enzymes, known to be closely associated with xylem vessel formation. Recombinant VND7 protein binds to several promoter sequences present in candidate direct target genes: specifically, in the promoter of XYLEM CYSTEINE PEPTIDASE1, two distinct regions were demonstrated to be responsible for VND7 binding. We also found that expression of VND7 restores secondary cell wall formation in the fiber cells of inflorescence stems of nst1nst3 double mutants, as well as expression of NAC SECONDARY WALL THICKENING PROMOTING FACTOR3 (NST3, however, the vessel-type secondary wall deposition was observed only as a result of VND7 expression. These findings indicated that VND7 upregulates, directly and/or indirectly, many genes involved in a wide range of processes in xylem vessel differentiation, and that its target genes are partially different from those of NSTs.

Description
Innate immune responses are important in combating various microbes during the early phases of infection. Natural killer (NK) cells are innate lymphocytes that, unlike T and B lymphocytes, do not express antigen receptors but rapidly exhibit cytotoxic activities against virus infected cells and produce various cytokines1,2. We report here a new type of innate lymphocyte present in a novel lymphoid structure associated with adipose tissues in the peritoneal cavity. These cells do not express lineage (Lin) markers but express c-Kit, Sca-1, IL-7R and IL-33R. Similar lymphoid clusters were found in both human and mouse mesentery and we term this tissue FALC for fat-associated lymphoid cluster. FALC Lin-c-Kit+Sca-1+ cells are distinct from lymphoid progenitors3 and lymphoid tissue inducer (LTi) cells4. These cells proliferate in response to IL-2 and produce large amounts of Th2 cytokines such as IL-5, IL-6 and IL-13. IL-5 and IL-6 regulate B cell antibody production and self-renewal of B1 cells5-7. Indeed, FALC Lin-c-Kit+Sca-1+ cells support the self-renewal of B1 cells and enhance IgA production. IL-5 and IL-13 mediate allergic inflammation and protection against helminth infection8,9. Upon helminth infection and in response to IL-33, FALC Lin-c-Kit+Sca-1+ cells produce large amounts of IL-13, which leads to goblet cell hyperplasia, a critical step for helminth expulsion. In mice devoid of FALC Lin-c-Kit+Sca-1+ cells such goblet cell hyperplasia was not induced. Thus, FALC Lin-c-Kit+Sca-1+ cells are Th2-type innate lymphocytes and we propose that these cells be called natural helper cells.

Description
There is an urgent need for developing more effective therapies for aggressive hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Guadecitabine (SGI-110) is a second-generation DNA methyltransferase inhibitor (DNMTi) currently in clinical trials for HCC and shows greater stability and performance over first generation DNMTis. The aim of this study is to identify potential therapeutic targets of SGI-110 for clinical trials.

Description
R1R2R3-Myb proteins represent an evolutionarily conserved class of Myb family proteins important for cell cycle regulation and differentiation in eukaryotic cells. In plants, this class of Myb proteins are believed to play important roles in cell cycle regulation through transcriptional regulation of G2/M phase-specific genes by binding to common cis-elements, called MSA elements. In Arabidopsis thaliana, MYB3R1 and MYB3R4 act as transcriptional activators and positively regulate cytokinesis by activating transcription of KNOLLE, which encodes a cytokinesis-specific syntaxin. Here, we show that the double mutation myb3r1 myb3r4 causes pleiotropic developmental defects, some of which are due to deficiency of KNOLLE whereas other are not, suggesting multiple target genes are involved. Consistently, microarray analysis of the double mutant revealed altered expression of many genes, among which G2/M-specific genes showed significant overrepresentation of the MSA motif and a strong tendency to be down-regulated by the double mutation. Our results demonstrate, on a genome-wide level, the importance of the MYB3R-MSA pathway for regulating G2/M-specific transcription. In addition, MYB3R1 and MYB3R4 may have diverse roles during plant development by regulating G2/M-specific genes with various functions, as well as genes possibly unrelated to the cell cycle.

Description
Gene expression profiles in this submission were part of an integrative DNA methylation and gene expression integrative study. The goal of this study was to determine whether DNA methylation patterns were disrupted in small airway epithelia of patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) compared to airways from subjects with normal lung function. No subject has cancer or asthma at time of collection. Corresponding DNA methylation profiles for these subjects can be found at GSE55454.

Description
Temporal and spatial regulation of cell division is central for generating multicellular organs with predictable sizes and shapes. However, it remains largely unclear how genes with mitotic functions are transcriptionally regulated during organogenesis in plants. Here, we showed that a group of R1R2R3-Myb transcription factors are responsible for developmentally controlled downregulation of variety of mitotic genes in Arabidopsis. Loss of their functions resulted in elevated expression of mitotic genes in quiescent cells including those underwent terminal differentiation. Concomitantly, their mutations enhanced cell division activities in various aspects of plant development, generating organs with increased sizes and irregular architectures. In addition, we showed that this type of R1R2R3-Myb proteins are required for oscillated expression of G2/M-specfiic genes, most likely by inhibiting transcription outside of G2/M in the cell cycle. Our finding uncovered a novel plant-specific mechanism in which scheduled expression of G2/M-specific genes may require their global repression both in the cell cycle and during development.
