Description
Tumor cell survival critically depends on heterotypic communication with benign cells in the microenvironment. Here we describe a novel survival signaling pathway activated in stromal cells by contact to B-cells from chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) patients. The expression of PKC-II and the subsequent activation of NF-B in bone marrow stromal cells is a prerequisite to support the survival of malignant B-cells. PKC- knockout mice are insusceptible to CLL-transplantations, underscoring the in vivo significance of the PKC-II- NF-B signaling pathway in the tumor microenvironment. Upregulated stromal PKC-II in biopsies from CLL, breast- and pancreatic- cancer patients suggest that this pathway may commonly be activated in a variety of malignancies.

Description
Analysis of Foxp3 ablated peripheral regulatory T cells. Regulatory T cells require the expression of the transcription factor Foxp3 for thymic development. It is not known whether continuous expression of Foxp3 is required for the maintained function of mature regulatory T cells in the periphery. Results indicate changes to the regulatory T cell developmental program in the absence of Foxp3.
Publication Title
Maintenance of the Foxp3-dependent developmental program in mature regulatory T cells requires continued expression of Foxp3.

Description
As RIG-I activation induces potent IFN-I responses,we analyzed the role of IFN-I in intestinal tissue protection and prevention of GVHD. We performed RNA sequencing with tissue samples from SI of WT mice that received TBI -/+ previous 3pRNA treatment and -/+ antibody-mediated blockade of IFNAR. Application of 3pRNA before TBI resulted in a significant increase of IFN-inducible genes in the SI as compared to solely irradiated mice. Blockade of IFNAR signaling abrogated 3pRNA-mediated up-regulation of IFN-induced genes, demonstrating that RIG-I-induced gene-regulation depends on IFN-I. Overall design: Balb/c mice were solely irradiated (9Gy) (n=3), pretreated with Rig-I agonist 3pRNA prior (d-1) to irradiation (n=3) or pre-treated with 3pRNA (d-1) + anti-IFNaR1 blocking antibody (d-2) prior to irradiation (n=3). RNA from small intestines was isolated 12h after irradiation and used for RNA sequencing.
Publication Title
RIG-I/MAVS and STING signaling promote gut integrity during irradiation- and immune-mediated tissue injury.

Description
The goal was to study the effects of lead exposure on gene expression and identify the lead-responsive genes. After detecting 1,536 cis-eQTLs (FDR = 10%) and 952 trans-eQTLs, we focused our analysis on Pb-sensitive “trans-eQTL hotspots”. Overall design: 158 randomly selected Drosophila Synthetic Population Resource (A2) samples (control 79 samples and Pb-treated) without replicates
Publication Title
Identification of Splicing Quantitative Trait Loci (sQTL) in <i>Drosophila melanogaster</i> with Developmental Lead (Pb<sup>2+</sup>) Exposure.

Description
The transcription factor Foxp3 is indispensible for the differentiation and function of regulatory T cells (Treg cells). To gain insights into the molecular mechanisms of Foxp3 mediated gene expression we purified Foxp3 complexes and explored their composition. Biochemical and mass-spectrometric analyses revealed that Foxp3 forms multi-protein complexes of 400-800 kDa or larger and identified 361 associated proteins ~30% of which are transcription-related. Foxp3 directly regulates expression of a large proportion of the genes encoding its co-factors. Reciprocally, some transcription factor partners of Foxp3 facilitate its expression. Functional analysis of Foxp3 cooperation with one such partner, Gata3, provided further evidence for a network of transcriptional regulation afforded by Foxp3 and its associates to control distinct aspects of Treg cell biology.
Publication Title
Transcription factor Foxp3 and its protein partners form a complex regulatory network.

Description
Numerous microRNAs and their target mRNAs are co-expressed across diverse cell types. However, it is unknown whether they are regulated in a cellular context-independent or -dependent manner. Here, we explored transcriptome-wide targeting and gene regulation by miR-155, whose activation-induced expression plays important roles in innate and adaptive immunity. Through mapping of miR-155 targets using differential Argonaute iCLIP, mRNA quantification with RNA-Seq, and 3'UTR usage analysis using polyadenylation (polyA)-Seq in activated miR-155-sufficient and deficient macrophages, dendritic cells, T and B lymphocytes, we identified numerous targets differentially bound by miR-155. While alternative cleavage and polyadenylation (ApA) contributed to differential miR-155 binding to some transcripts, in a majority of cases identical 3'UTR isoforms were differentially regulated across cell types, suggesting ApA-independent and cellular context-dependent miR-155-mediated gene regulation reminiscent of sequence-specific transcription factors. Our study provides comprehensive maps of miR-155 regulatory RNA networks and offers a valuable resource for dissecting context-dependent and -independent miRNA-mediated gene regulation in key cell types of the adaptive and innate immune systems. Overall design: Primary dendritic cells, B cells, CD4 T cells, and macrophages from C57BL/6J wild type and miR-155 KO mice were cultured in RPMI medium with 10% FBS. Prior to harvesting primary dendritic cells, mice were subcutaneously injected with one million B16 melanoma cells expressing Flt3 ligand for about two weeks. After purification of splenic CD11c+ dendritic cells by CD11c microbeads (Miltenyi Biotec), dendritic cells were activated in a medium containing 100 ng/ml LPS (SIGMA) and 20 ng/ml GMSCF (Tonbo). Splenic primary B cells were purified by negative selection using Dynabeads Mouse CD43 (Invitrogen), and activated in a medium containing 25 ug/ml LPS and 6.5 ng/ml mIL4 (PeproTech). CD4 T cells from lymph node and spleen were purified with Dynabeads FlowComp Kit (Invitrogen). CD4+CD25-CD44- T cells were then activated with Dynabeads Mouse T-Activator CD3/CD28 (Invitrogen). Intraperitoneal macrophages, induced by thioglycollate injection, were harvested and activated with 100 ng/ml LPS.
