Description
We report an applicaton of small RNA sequencing using high throughput next generation sequencing to identify the small RNA content of cell lines. By sequencing over 30 million reads we could identify a new class of small RNAs previousy observed with tiling arrays and mapping to promoter regions of coding genes. We also identified a large number of small RNAs corresponding to internal exons of coding genes. By using different enzymatic treatments and immunoprecipitation experiments, we have determined that both the promoter associated small RNAs as well as ones within the body of the genes bear 5'' cap structures. Overall design: Examination of the expression of small RNAs (<200nt).

Description
The polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2) regulates epigenetic gene repression in eukaryotes. Mechanisms controlling its developmental specificity and signal-responsiveness are poorly understood. Here, we identify an oxygen-sensitive N-terminal (N-) degron in the plant PRC2 subunit VERNALIZATION(VRN)2, a homolog of animal Su(z)12, that promotes its degradation via the N-end rule pathway. We provide evidence that this N-degron arose early during angiosperm evolution via gene duplication and N-terminal truncation, facilitating expansion of PRC2 function in flowering plants. We show that proteolysis via the N-end rule pathway prevents ectopic VRN2 accumulation, and that hypoxia and long-term cold exposure lead to increased VRN2 abundance, which we propose may be due to inhibition of VRN2 turnover via its N-degron. Furthermore, we identify an overlap in the transcriptional responses to hypoxia and prolonged cold, and show that VRN2 promotes tolerance to hypoxia. Our work reveals a mechanism for post-translational regulation of VRN2 stability that could potentially link environmental inputs to the epigenetic control of plant development. Overall design: RNA was extracted from non-vernalized (0v; C) or 4 week vernalized (4v; V) seedlings. Three biological replicates for each treatment were used for subsequent RNA sequencing

Description
The distinction between the Burkitt lymphoma and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma is imprecise using current diagnostic criteria. We applied transcriptional and genomic profiling to molecularly define Burkitt lymphoma. Gene expression profiling employing Affymetrix GeneChips (U133A) was performed in 220 mature aggressive B-cell lymphomas, including a core group of eight Burkitt lymphomas, which fulfilled all diagnostic criteria of the WHO classification. A molecular signature of Burkitt lymphoma was generated. Chromosomal abnormalities were detected by interphase fluorescence in-situ hybridization and array comparative genomic hybridization. The molecular Burkitt lymphoma signature identified 44 cases. Fifteen of these cases lacked a morphology typical for Burkitt/Burkitt-like lymphoma. The vast majority (88%) of the 176 lymphomas without the molecular Burkitt lymphoma signature represented diffuse large B-cell lymphomas. In 20% of these cases a MYC break was detectable which was associated with complex chromosomal changes. Our molecular definition of Burkitt lymphoma sharpens and extends the spectrum of Burkitt lymphoma. In mature aggressive B-cell lymphomas without a Burkitt lymphoma signature, a chromosomal break in the MYC locus proved to be associated with adverse clinical outcome.

Description
DLK1/FA-1 (delta-like 1/fetal antigen-1) is a transmembrane protein belonging to Notch/Delta family that acts as a membrane-associated or a soluble protein to regulate regeneration of a number of adult tissues. Here, we examined the role of DLK1/FA-1 in bone biology using osteoblast-specific-Dlk1 over-expressing mice (Col1-Dlk1). Col1-Dlk1 mice displayed growth retardation and significantly reduced total body weight and bone mineral density (BMD). CT-scanning revealed a reduced trabecular and cortical bone volume fraction. Tissue-level histomorphometric analysis demonstrated decreased bone formation rate and enhanced bone resorption in Col1-Dlk1 as compared to WT. At a cellular level, DLK1 markedly reduced the total number of bone marrow (BM)-derived CFU-F, as well as their osteogenic capacity. In a number of in vitro culture systems, DLK1 stimulated osteoclastogenesis indirectly through osteoblast-dependent increased production of pro-inflammatory bone resorbing cytokines (e.g, Il7, Tnfa and Ccl3). We found that ovariectomy (ovx)-induced bone loss was associated with increased production of DLK1 in bone marrow by activated T-cells. However, Dlk1-/- mice were protected from ovx-induced bone loss. Thus, we identified DLK1 as a novel regulator of bone mass that function to inhibit bone formation and to stimulate bone resorption. Increasing DLK1 production by T-cells under estrogen deficiency suggests its possible use as a therapeutic target for preventing postmenopausal bone loss.

Description
Interferon-alpha Kinoid (IFN-K) is a therapeutic vaccine composed of IFN-alpha2b coupled to a carrier protein. In a phase I/II placebo-controlled trial, we observed that IFN-K significantly decreases the IFN gene signature in whole blood RNA samples from SLE patients (see GSE39088). Here, we analyzed extended follow-up data from IFN-K-treated patients, in terms of persistence of neutralizing anti-IFN Abs, gene expression profiling and safety.

Description
We report that the HF/HS-mediated functional enrichment of genes of immunity and inflammation is driven toward normal by the AOF supplementation Obesity may not constantly associate with metabolic disorders and mortality later in life, raising the challenging concept of healthy obesity. Here, high fat-high sucrose (HF/HS) feeding produces hyperglycaemia and hypercholesterolemia, increases oxidative stress, elevates endotoxemia, expands adipose tissue (with enlarged adipocytes, macrophage infiltration and accumulation of cholesterol and oxysterols), and reduces lifespan of obese mice. Despite persistence of obesity, supplementation with an antioxidant formulation normalizes plasma lipids and endotoxemia, prevents macrophage recruitment in adipose tissue, reduces adipose accumulation of cholesterol and cholesterol oxides, and extends lifespan. The HF/HS-mediated functional enrichment of genes of immunity and inflammation (in particular response to lipopolysaccharides) is driven towards normal by the antioxidant formulation. It is concluded that the limitation of immune cell infiltration in adipose tissue on the long term by an antioxidant formulation can increase lifespan independently of body weight and fat storage. It constitutes the hallmark of a healthy adiposity trait. Overall design: Examination of the expression profile of mice adipose tissues fed either standard (Std), High-fat/high-sucrose (HF/HS) or HF/HS + antioxidant formulation (AOF) for 180 days
