Description
RNA seq analyses were performed in granulosa cells (GCs) collected from gonadotropin treated ESR2 mutant rats. Data obtained from a null mutant with Esr2 exon 3 deletion (?3) and another DNA binding domain (DBD) mutant with exon 4 deletion (?4) were compared to that of wildtype (WT) rats. The raw data were analyzed using CLC genomics workbench. High quality RNA-sequencing reads were aligned to the Rattus norvegicus genome. Differentially expressed genes in ?3 or ?4 Esr2-mutant GCs were identified based on the following criteria: FDR p-Value =0.05 and an absolute fold change of 2. Fewer differentially expressed genes were identified in ?3 compared to the ?4 mutant group. As both of the mutant groups demonstrated a common phenotype of ovulation failure, differentially expressed genes common to both in ?3 and ?4 mutant rats were emphasized and further analyzed in the companion article “ESR2 regulates granulosa cell genes essential for follicle maturation and ovulation” (Khristi et al., 2018).

Description
The Iroquois homeodomain transcription factor gene IRX3 is highly expressed in the developing nervous system, limb buds and heart. In adults, expression levels specify risk of obesity. We now report a significant functional role for IRX3 in human acute leukemia. While transcript levels are very low in normal human bone marrow cell populations, high level IRX3 expression is observed in ~30% of patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), ~50% of patients with T-acute lymphoblastic leukemia and ~20% of patients with B-acute lymphoblastic leukemia, typically in association with high levels of HOXA9. Expression of IRX3 alone was sufficient to immortalise murine bone marrow stem and progenitor cells, and induce T- and B-lineage leukemias in vivo with incomplete penetrance. IRX3 knockdown induced terminal differentiation of AML cells. Combined IRX3 and Hoxa9 expression in murine bone marrow stem and progenitor cells substantially enhanced the morphologic and phenotypic differentiation block of the resulting AMLs by comparison with Hoxa9-only leukemias, through suppression of a myelomonocytic program. Likewise, in cases of primary human AML, high IRX3 expression is associated with reduced myelomonocytic differentiation. Thus, tissue-inappropriate derepression of IRX3 modulates the cellular consequences of HOX gene expression to enhance differentiation block in human AML. Overall design: Murine acute myeloid leukemias - 3 samples from separate mice with AML initiated by HOXA9 and 3 samples from separate mice with AML initiated by HOXA9 and IRX3 coexpression

Description
To elucidate the mechanisms by which Nrf2 regulates cell growth, we performed global gene expression profiling of A549 lung cancer cells with knockdown of Nrf2. Gene networks associated with carbohydrate metabolism and drug metabolism were significantly downregulated in Nrf2-depleted A549 cells. Gene Set Enrichment Analysis revealed significant enrichment of genes associated with carbohydrate catabolic processes, positive regulation of metabolic processes, PPP, and arachidonic acid metabolism. In summary, this analysis revealed that Nrf2 positively regulates transcription of genes that play key roles in central carbon metabolism.

Description
It It is known that functional maturation of the small intestine occurring during the weaning period is facilitated by glucocorticoids (such as hydrocortisone, HC) including the increased expression of digestive hydrolases. However, the molecular mechanism(s) are not well understood, particularly in human gut. Here we report a microarray analysis of HC- induced changes in gene expression in H4 (a human fetal small intestinal epithelial cell line well-characterized in numerous previous studies). This study identified a large number of HC-affected genes, some involved in metabolism, cell cycle regulation, cell polarity, tight junction formation, and interactions with extracellular matrices. These effects could play an important role in HC-mediated enterocyte maturation in vivo and in vitro.

Description
Huntingtons Disease (HD) is an inherited neurodegenerative disease caused by a glutamine repeat expansion in huntingtin protein. Transcriptional deregulation and altered energy metabolism have been implicated in HD pathogenesis. We report here that mutant huntingtin causes disruption of mitochondrial function by inhibiting expression of PGC-1a, a transcriptional coactivator that regulates several metabolic processes including mitochondrial biogenesis and respiration. Mutant huntingtin represses PGC-1a gene transcription by associating with the promoter and interfering with the CREB/TAF4-dependent transcriptional pathway critical for the regulation of PGC-1a gene expression. Crossbreeding of PGC-1a knockout mice with HD knock-in mice leads to increased neurodegeneration of striatal neurons and motor abnormalities in the HD mice. Importantly, expression of PGC-1a partially reverses the toxic effects of mutant huntingtin in cultured striatal neurons. Moreover, lentiviral-mediated delivery of PGC-1a in the striatum provides neuroprotection in the transgenic HD mice. These studies suggest a key role for PGC-1a in the control of energy metabolism in the early stages of HD pathogenesis.

Description
Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), a class of fatty acids found in beef and dairy products, has been shown to inhibit tumorigenesis in a variety of cancer model systems. Based on previously well-documented anti-tumor activity of CLA in rodent models of breast cancer, a pilot study was initiated to examine the effect of dietary CLA in a well-established transgenic model of breast cancer. Western blots were performed for the detection of AKT, c-Src, ERK1/2, and Cdc24. CLA significantly increased tumor burden (p<0.1) independent of an increase in oncogenic signaling. Mammary gland whole mounts indicated a loss of mammary adipose and extensive epithelial expansion in CLA-treated animals. Microarray analysis indicated a significant reduction in cytoskeletal related genes with at least a two-fold decrease in five out of six CLA-fed animals compared to untreated controls. Reduction of Cdc42, a key regulator of cell adhesion and cytoskeletal arrangements, was confirmed at the protein level by western blot (p<0.01). These findings suggest that dietary CLA may advance the malignant phenotype by promoting a loss of cell polarity and adhesion in the mammary gland epithelium. This action may have serious clinical implications for a subset high-risk population and warrants further investigation.

Description
In our studies we were searching for the new factors engaged in mitochondrial nucleic acids metabolism under stress conditions in humans. Quantitative proteomic approach revealed C6orf203 protein as a potential new factor engaged in response to perturbed mitochondrial gene expression. We showed that C6orf203 is a mitochondrial RNA binding protein which is able to rescue diminished mitochondrial transcription in stress conditions. Overall design: The dataset corresponds to RNAseq studies and comprises experiment performed in triplicate. The aim of this study was to examine the influence of C6orf203 silencing on mitochondrial transcriptome. To this end we engineered two stable cell lines with the use of human 293 Flp-In T-Rex cells as parental. First cell line inducible expressed miRNAs silencing endogenous copy of C6orf203 gene while second one expressed additionally transgenic version of FLAG-tagged C6orf203 which contained silent mutations causing insensitivity to miRNA. We also analyzed RNA isolated from parental 293 Flp-In T-Rex cells. RNAseq libraries were prepared with the use of strand-specific library preparation procedures. RNAs were random fragmented and reverse transcribed using random oligomers as primers (dUTP-based protocol, see PMID: 29590189, PMID: 22609201; this pipeline enables analysis of RNAs (> ~100 nucleotides)). RNA was isolated from unfractionated cells using TRI-Reagent. Before preparation of the libraries total RNA was subjected to depletion of nuclear-encoded rRNAs (Ribo-Zero rRNA Removal Kit (Human/Mouse/Rat), Epicenter). Libraries were sequenced with the help of Illumina sequencing platform.
