Description
Defects in mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation complexes, altered bioenergetics and metabolic shift are often seen in cancers. Here we show a role for the dysfunction of electron transport chain component, cytochrome c oxidase (CcO) in cancer progression. We show that genetic silencing of the CcO complex by shRNA expression and loss of CcO activity in multiple cell types from the mouse and human sources resulted in metabolic shift to glycolysis, loss of anchorage dependent growth and acquired invasive phenotypes. Disruption of CcO complex caused loss of transmembrane potential and induction of Ca2+/Calcineurin-mediated retrograde signaling. Propagation of this signaling, includes activation of PI3-kinase, IGF1R and Akt, Ca2+ sensitive transcription factors and also, TGF1, MMP16, periostin that are involved in oncogenic progression. Whole genome expression analysis showed up regulation of genes involved in cell signaling, extracellular matrix interactions, cell morphogenesis, cell motility and migration. The transcription profiles reveal extensive similarity to retrograde signaling initiated by partial mtDNA depletion, though distinct differences are observed in signaling induced by CcO dysfunction. The possible CcO dysfunction as a biomarker for cancer progression was supported by data showing that esophageal tumors from human patients show reduced CcO subunits IVi1 and Vb in regions that were previously shown to be hypoxic core of the tumors. Our results show that mitochondrial electron transport chain defect initiates a retrograde signaling. These results suggest that a defect in CcO complex can potentially induce tumor progression.

Description
To gain insight into the changes in gene expression pattern upon Ebola infection, CD45+/+ (100% protein level) and CD45+/- (62% protein level) mice were challenged with mouse adapted Ebola virus. At time-points day 0, 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11 and 13, spleen tissue was harvested and splenocytes isolated. Total RNA was isolated for mRNA expression analysis. The mouse genome 430 2.0 array (Affymetrix, Inc.), which consists of over 39,000 genes in a single array, was used. Based on gene expression patterns, the variable genes were grouped into sixteen clusters. Each cluster contained genes associated with cellular immune processes, signaling, cell-cycle, complement coagulation cascade, biosynthesis/metabolism, ubiquitous genes involved in several cascades, and genes of unknown function. Interestingly, gene expression in clusters 2 and 3 were significantly downregulated by day 1 following EBOV challenge in CD45100% mice. In contrast, at day 1 following EBOV infection, the CD45 62% mice maintained gene expression patterns similar to day 0. The differences in gene expression patterns between the CD45 100% and CD45 62% splenocytes were less apparent at day 3 following infection and by days 5 and 7 they became very similar. At day 9, when wild-type mice had succumbed to the disease, the pattern in CD45 62% mice remained similar to the day 7 patterns of CD45 100% and CD45 62% mice. The pattern at days 11 and 13 in the CD45 62% mice had returned to that of day 0 CD45 100% or CD45 62% mice. These results suggested that in CD45 100% mice, subversion of the cell transcriptional machinery during the early stages of EBOV infection (day 1) might represent a major factor leading to death of the mice. In CD45 62% mice, early control of gene regulation likely provided the appropriate antiviral responses leading to regulated inflammation, immune co-stimulation, and survival.

Description
Sexual differentiation in zebrafish is complex. Although zebrafish sex determination is primarily genetic, hormonal and environmental factors can influence sexual development. 17 alpha-methyltestosterone (MT), a synthetic androgen, induces female-to-male sex reversal in zebrafish. MT treatment is routinely used in aquaculture for production of all-male populations. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying 17 alpha-methyltestosterone induced gonad masculinisation in fish are poorly understood.In this study, we analysed gonad transcriptomes of zebrafish treated with 17 alpha-methyltestosterone during gonadal development (from 20 dpf to 40 dpf and 60 dpf) and compared them with testis and ovary transcriptomes of untreated zebrafish. These data improve our understanding of the role of androgens in teleost sex differentiation.

Description
RNA-seq was used to assess mRNA transcript abundance in wild type and fra2? S. cerevisiae (BY4741) cells treated with 2-(6-benzyl-2-pyridyl)quinazoline (BPQ) and CuSO4. BPQ potentiates copper toxicity and in yeast, in common with other organisms, a major cause of copper toxicity is damage of iron-sulphur clusters. Iron sensing within yeast relies on mitochondrial iron-sulphur cluster biosynthesis and therefore treatment with BPQ and copper can be used to mimic iron deficiency. Fra2 is known to be a key component of the iron sensing mechanism; however, this mechanism can operate, to an extent, independently of Fra2. BPQ (+CuSO4) treatment was used with the aim of probing the regulation of the iron regulon of S. cerevisiae and the role of Fra2 in the suppression of the low iron response. This study has uncovered nine new Cth2 target-transcripts, plus a new Aft1 target-gene and paralogous non-target. Fra2 dominates basal repression of the iron regulon in iron-replete cultures, however, Fra2-independent control of the iron regulon is also observed with CTH2 appearing to be atypically Fra2-dependent. Transcripts from untreated and CuSO4 treated cells were included as controls. Overall design: Three independent biological replicates were analysed for each condition (BPQ and CuSO4 treated wild type and fra2? cells, CuSO4 treated wild type and fra2? cells and untreated wild type and fra2? cells)

Description
Antigen receptor gene recombination requires stochastic, monoallelic choice of a single variable gene in each lymphocyte progenitor. However, how this occurs remains unknown. Herein, we report that prior to V? to J? gene recombination, Ig? alleles reside within spatially different nuclear niches defined by elongating RNA Polymerase II (e-Pol II) and cyclin D3 complexes assembled on the nuclear matrix. Upon cell cycle exit, and cyclin D3 downregulation, only the V? allele in the more constrained e-Pol II niche was transcribed. Chromatin modeling and single cell RNA-seq revealed that the nuclear niche favored V? flanking CTCF sites, thus shaping the transcribed repertoire. Furthermore, multiple contiguous V?s oriented away from CTCF sites were preferentially transcribed. Cyclin D3 also repressed monoallelic protocadherin and olfactory genes. These studies of Ig? reveal a general mechanism by which regulated, stochastic chromatin loop capture by fixed e-Pol II complexes generates diversity and couples cell cycle exit to monogenic choice. Overall design: Bulk and Single Cell RNA-seq of B6 x CAST F1 hybrid small pre-B cells and bulk RNA-seq of Ccnd3-/- pro-B cells

Description
Deep sequencing has revealed that epigenetic modifiers are the most mutated genes in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Thus, elucidating epigenetic dysregulation in AML is crucial to understand disease mechanisms. Here, we demonstrate that Metal Response Element Binding Transcription Factor 2/Polycomblike 2 (MTF2/PCL2) plays a fundamental role in the Polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2) and that its loss elicits an altered epigenetic state underlying refractory AML. Unbiased systems analyses identified the loss of MTF2-PRC2 repression of MDM2 as central to, and therefore a biomarker for, refractory AML. Thus, immature MTF2- deficient CD34+CD38- cells overexpress MDM2, thereby inhibiting p53 that leads to chemoresistance due to defects in cell cycle regulation and apoptosis. Targeting this dysregulated signaling pathway by MTF2 overexpression or MDM2 inhibitors sensitized refractory patient leukemic cells to induction chemotherapeutics and prevented relapse in AML patient-derived xenograft (PDX) mice. Therefore, we have uncovered a direct epigenetic mechanism by which MTF2 functions as a tumor suppressor required for AML chemotherapeutic sensitivity and identified a potential therapeutic strategy to treat refractory AML. Overall design: Fold change analysis between treatment and control

Here we show that oral creatine (Cr) supplementation leads to increased life span in mice. Treated mice showed improved neurobehavioral performance, decreased accumulation of the aging pigment lipofuscin and upregulation of anti-aging genes in brain. As Cr is virtually free of adverse effects, it may be a promising food supplement for healthy aging in man.
