Description
p21-activated kinases (Paks) play an important role in oncogenic signaling pathways, and have therefore been considered as potential therapeutic targets in various cancers. Most studies of Pak function employ loss of function methods such as gene knock-out or knock-down, but these approaches result in loss of both the enzymatic and scaffolding properties of these proteins, and thus may not reflect the effects of small molecule inhibitors that block catalytic function. In this study we use a new transgenic mouse model in which a specific peptide inhibitor of Group I Paks (Pak1, -2, and -3) is conditionally expressed in response to Cre recombinase. Using this model, we show that inhibition of endogenous Pak function impedes the transition of adenoma to carcinoma in an Apc-driven mouse model of colorectal cancer. These effects are mediated by inhibition of Wnt signaling through reduced ß-catenin activity as well as suppression of an epithelial-mesenchymal transition program mediated by miR-200 and Snai1. These results highlight the potential therapeutic role of Pak1 inhibitors in colorectal cancer and suggest new therapeutic strategies in this disease. Overall design: We generated a targeted transgenic mouse carrying a conditionally activated PID allele at the Rosa26 locus, and showed that expression of this allele effectively inhibited the activity of Group I Paks in vivo. To assess the global molecular effects of Pak inhibition in Apc-null CRC cells, we next explored the effect of repressing Pak activity on transcription. Total RNA was extracted from PID+ and PID- cells and RNA-sequencing was preformed, followed by pathway analysis and qPCR validation for selected mRNAs.

Description
As recently reported by our group, we performed miRNA and gene expression profiling of CD34+ hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs) isolated from 42 PMF patient samples compared with 31 healthy controls. Integrative analysis of these profiles by means of Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA) allowed the identification of several aberrantly regulated miRNA-mRNA target pairs organized in interaction networks. In particular, our results highlighted the up-regulation of miR-494-3p in CD34+ cells from PMF patients (Norfo R et al, Blood, 2014). Interestingly, among the most upregulated miRNAs, miR-494-3p emerges as being associated to the highest number of downregulated target mRNAs. In order to understand the biological role of miR-494-3p during the hematopoietic commitment and differentiation, we overexpressed this miRNA in cord blood (CB) derived-CD34+ cells. Cells were electroporated with either miR-494-3p miRNA mimic (mimic miR-494) or a negative control mimic (mimic Neg CTR). qRT-PCR confirmed miR-494-3p overexpression 24h and 4 days after transfection (RQ SEM, 512.60 137.37, p<.01, and 20.63 3.03, p<.01, respectively).

Description
To functionally characterize the role of miR-17 family in HCC, lentiviral vector-based miR inhibitor TuD was used to inhibit miR-17 family of microRNAs in HepG2 and SK-Hep1 HCC cell lines Overall design: Methods: HepG2 and SK-Hep1 HCC cell lines were acquired from American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) and miR-17 TuD or NC TuD expressing lines were generated. mRNA profiling of miR-17 TuD or NC TuD expressing samples was performed using Illumina NGS. Total RNA was extracted as per manufacturer’s instructions (RNeasy kit, Qiagen). RNA quality was assessed using BioAnalyzer (Agilent). mRNA expression profiles were determined using next-generation sequencing (NGS) on the Illumina HiSeq 2000 platform producing 50bp paired-end reads. Bowtie/TopHat suites were used to align the reads to mouse genome or transcriptome and RSEM were used to quantify gene abundances. Gene level counts were then normalized with the R/Bioconductor package limma using the voom/variance stabilization method.

Description
Increasing evidence suggests that defective RNA processing contributes to the development of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). This may be especially true for ALS caused by a repeat expansion in C9orf72 (c9ALS), in which the accumulation of RNA foci and dipeptide-repeat proteins are expected to modify RNA metabolism. We report extensive alternative splicing (AS) and alternative polyadenylation (APA) defects in the cerebellum of c9ALS cases (8,224 AS, 1,437 APA), including changes in ALS-associated genes (e.g. ATXN2 and FUS), and cases of sporadic ALS (sALS; 2,229 AS, 716 APA). Furthermore, hnRNPH and other RNA-binding proteins are predicted as potential regulators of cassette exon AS events for both c9ALS and sALS. Co-expression and gene-association network analyses of gene expression and AS data revealed divergent pathways associated with c9ALS and sALS. Overall design: Examination transcriptiome profiles in c9orf72-associated ALS, sporadic ALS and healthy control

Description
We studied the synaptic activity-regulated gene expression response in the human genetic background using cultured human iPSC-derived (hiPSCd) neuronal networks and networks of hiPSCd neurons mixed with mouse primary neurons. Our results confirm that genetic changes affect the synaptic activity-regulated gene program, proposing a functional mechanism how they have driven evolution of human cognitive abilities. Overall design: We compared RNA profiles of untreated hiPSCd neurons and hiPSCd neurons treated with bicuculline and 4-aminopyridine for 1 or 4 hours. Samples were collected from hiPSCd neuron-only cultures and from co-cultures of hiPSCd neurons and mouse primary hippocampal neurons.
