Description
Microcephaly and medulloblastoma result from mutations that compromise genomic stability. We report that Atr, which is mutated in the microcephalic disorder Seckel syndrome, is required to maintain chromosomal integrity during postnatal cerebellar neurogenesis. Atr deletion in cerebellar granule neuron progenitors (CGNPs) induced proliferation-associated DNA damage, p53 activation, apoptosis, and cerebellar hypoplasia. Co-deletions of either Bax and Bak or p53 prevented apoptosis in Atr-deleted CGNPs, but failed to fully rescue cerebellar growth. Atr-deficient CGNPs showed impaired cell cycle checkpoint function and continued to proliferate, accumulating chromosomal abnormalities. RNA-Seq demonstrated that the transcriptional response to Atr-deficient proliferation was p53-driven. Acute Atr inhibition in vivo by nanoparticle-formulated VE-822 reproduced the disruptions seen with Atr deletion. Our data show that p53-driven apoptosis and senescence, and non-apoptotic cell death redundantly limit growth in Atr-deficient progenitors. These overlapping mechanisms that suppress growth in Atr-disrupted CGNPs may be exploited for treatment of CGNP-derived medulloblastoma using Atr inhibition. Overall design: RNA-Seq on total RNA from P3 mouse cerebella of Math1-Cre;Atr-loxP/loxP;Bax-loxP/loxP;Bak--/- (n=5), Math1-Cre;Bax-loxP/loxP;Bak--/- (n=4), Math1-Cre;Atr-loxP/loxP;p53-loxP/loxP (n=5), and Math1-Cre;p53-loxP/loxP (n=3), all run in 2 lanes

Description
We identified a congenic mouse with an introgressed region from the A/J donor inbred strain on an inbred C57BL/6J background that showed a reduced locomotor stimulant response to methamphetamine. We conducted microarray analysis of the striatum from drug-naive female and male mice that were 6-9 weeks old. The congenic region is on chromosome 11 and spans approximately 84-96 Mb. There were two groups of mice used in the analysis: B6 control mice versus congenic mice. Congenic mice were collapsed across heterozygous and homozygous genotypes.

Description
The combination of JQ1 and Vemurafenib acted synergistically in BRAF-mutant cell lines, resulting in marked apoptosis in vitro, with up-regulation of pro-apoptotic proteins. In vivo, combination treatment suppressed tumor growth and significantly improved survival compared to either drug alone. RNA sequencing of tumor tissues revealed almost four thousand genes that were uniquely modulated by the combination, with several anti-apoptotic genes significantly down-regulated. Overall design: 16 samples analyzed from 8 mice (each mouse was bearing two tumors, one on each flank) in 4 treatment groups (control, vemurafenib alone, JQ1 alone, JQ1+vemurafenib)

Description
Malignant carcinomas that recur following therapy are typically de-differentiated and multi-drug resistant (MDR). De-differentiated cancer cells acquire MDR by upregulating reactive oxygen species (ROS)-scavenging enzymes and drug efflux pumps, but how these genes are upregulated in response to de-differentiation is not known. Here, we examine this question by using global transcriptional profiling to identify ROS-induced genes that are already upregulated in de-differentiated cells, even in the absence of oxidative damage.

De-differentiation confers multidrug resistance via noncanonical PERK-Nrf2 signaling.

Description
Epidemiological studies provide strong evidence that consumption of cruciferous vegetables, such as broccoli, can significantly reduce the risk of developing cancers. Sulforaphane (SFN), a phytochemical derived from cruciferous vegetables, induces anti-proliferative and pro-apoptotic responses in prostate cancer cells, but not in normal prostate cells. The mechanisms responsible for these specific chemopreventive properties remain unclear. We utilized RNA sequencing to test the hypothesis that SFN modifies the expression of genes that are critical in prostate cancer progression. Normal prostate epithelial cells, and androgen-dependent and androgen-independent prostate cancer cells were treated with 15 µM SFN and the transcriptome was determined at 6 and 24 hour time points. SFN altered the expression of ~3,000 genes in each cell line and the response was highly dynamic over time. SFN influenced the expression of genes in functional groups and pathways that are critical in cancer including cell cycle, apoptosis and angiogenesis, but the specific effects of SFN differed depending on the state of cancer progression. Network analysis suggested that a transcription factor that is overexpressed in many cancers, Specificity protein 1 (Sp1), is a major mediator of SFN-induced changes in gene expression. Nuclear Sp1 protein was significantly decreased by 24 hour SFN treatment in prostate cancer cells, while a related transcription factor, Sp3 protein was only modestly decreased in androgen-independent prostate cancer cells. Overall, the data show that SFN significantly affects gene expression in normal and cancer cells, with key targets in chemopreventive processes, making it a promising dietary anti-cancer agent.

Description
Gene-expression in siRNA treated U2OS and hTERT-RPE1 cells showed that CASP8AP2, NPAT and HINFP do not regulate expression of each other, and do not have any common target genes, except histones. Most histone genes are downregulated in U2OS cells following loss of CASP8AP2, NPAT or HINFP. In normal cells, highly-expressed histone genes were downregulated, albeit less than in tumor cells following loss of CASP8AP2. The p53 target genes were upregulated relatively late, clearly after the changes in expression of histone genes were observed.
