Description
We identified a tumor signature of 5 genes that aggregates the 156 tumor and normal samples into the expected groups. We also identified a histology signature of 75 genes, which classifies the samples in the major histological subtypes of NSCLC. A prognostic signature of 17 genes showed the best association with post-surgery survival time. The performance of the signatures was validated using a patient cohort of similar size

Description
Sp1 and Sp3 belong to the Specificity proteins (Sp)/Krüppel-like transcription factor family. They are closely related, ubiquitously expressed and recognize G-rich DNA motifs. They are thought to regulate generic processes such as cell cycle and growth control, metabolic pathways and apoptosis. Ablation of Sp1 or Sp3 in mice is lethal, and combined haploinsufficiency results in hematopoietic defects during the fetal stages. Here, we show that in adult mice conditional ablation of either Sp1 or Sp3 has minimal impact on hematopoiesis, while the simultaneous loss of Sp1 and Sp3 results in severe macrothrombocytopenia and platelet dysfunction. We employed flow cytometry, cell culture and electron microscopy and show that although megakaryocyte numbers are normal in bone marrow and spleen, they display a less compact demarcation membrane system and a striking inability to form proplatelets. Through megakaryocyte transcriptomics and platelet proteomics we identified several cytoskeleton-related proteins and downstream effector kinases, including Mylk, that were downregulated upon Sp1/Sp3 depletion, providing an explanation for the observed defects in megakaryopoiesis. We show that Mylk is required for proplatelet formation and stabilization and for ITAM-receptor mediated platelet aggregation. Our data highlights the specific vs generic role of these ubiquitous transcription factors in the highly specialized megakaryocytic lineage. Overall design: Megakaryocyte mRNA profiles of Sp1fl/fl::Sp3fl/fl (WTlox) and Pf4-Cre::Sp1fl/fl::Sp3fl/fl (dKO) mice were generated by deep sequencing, in triplicate.

Description
Dendritic cells (DCs) play a pivotal role in the regulation of the immune response. DC development and activation is finely orchestrated through transcriptional programs. GATA1 transcription factor is required for murine DC development and data suggests that it might be involved in the fine-tuning of the life span and function of activated DCs. We generated DC-specific Gata1 knockout mice (Gata1-KODC), which presented a 20% reduction of splenic DCs, partially explained by enhanced apoptosis. RNA-Seq analysis revealed a number of deregulated genes involved in cell survival, migration and function. DC migration towards peripheral lymph nodes was impaired in Gata1-KODC mice. Migration assays performed in vitro showed that this defect was selective for CCL21, but not CCL19. Interestingly, we show that Gata1-KODC DCs have reduced polysialic acid levels on their surface, which is a known determinant for the proper migration of DCs towards CCL21. Overall design: Dendritic cells from Gata1 knock-out or wild-type mice were stimulated with LPS of unstimulated (under steady state), 2 biological replicates each

Description
The development of an effective therapy against tauopathies like Alzheimers disease (AD) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD) remains challenging, partly due to limited access to fresh brain tissue, the lack of translational in vitro disease models and the fact that underlying molecular pathways remain to be deciphered. Several genes play an important role in the pathogenesis of AD and FTD, one of them being the MAPT gene encoding the microtubule-associated protein tau. Over the past few years, it has been shown that induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) can be used to model various human disorders and can serve as translational in vitro tools. Therefore, we generated iPSC harboring the pathogenic FTDP-17 (frontotemporal dementia and parkinsonism linked to chromosome 17) associated mutations IVS10+16 with and without P301S in MAPT using Zinc Finger Nuclease technology. Whole transcriptome analysis of MAPT IVS10+16 neurons reveals neuronal subtype differences, reduced neural progenitor proliferation potential and aberrant WNT signaling. Notably, all phenotypes were recapitulated using patient-derived neurons. Finally, an additional P301S mutation causes an increased calcium bursting frequency, reduced lysosomal acidity and tau oligomerization.

Description
The peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPAR) is a fatty acid-activated transcription factor that governs a variety of biological processes. Little is known about the role of PPAR in the small intestine. Since this organ is frequently exposed to high levels of PPAR ligands via the diet, we set out to characterize the function of PPAR in small intestine using functional genomics experiments and bioinformatics tools. PPAR was expressed at high levels in both human and murine small intestine. Detailed analyses showed that PPAR was expressed highest in villus cells of proximal jejunum. Microarray analyses of total tissue samples revealed, that in addition to genes involved in fatty acid and triacylglycerol metabolism, transcription factors and enzymes connected to sterol and bile acid metabolism, including FXR and SREBP1, were specifically induced. In contrast, genes involved in cell cycle and differentiation, apoptosis, and host defense were repressed by PPAR activation. Additional analyses showed that intestinal PPAR dependent gene regulation occurred in villus cells. Functional implications of array results were corroborated by morphometric data. The repression of genes involved in proliferation and apoptosis was accompanied by a 22% increase in villus height, and a 34% increase in villus area of wild-type animals treated with WY14643. This is the first report providing a comprehensive overview of processes under control of PPAR in the small intestine. We show that PPAR is an important transcriptional regulator in small intestine, which may be of importance for the development of novel foods and therapies for obesity and inflammatory bowel diseases.

Description
Human mononuclear phagocytes comprise phenotypically and functionally overlapping subsets of dendritic cells (DC) and monocytes, but their identification remains elusive. By integrating high-dimensional single-cell protein and RNA expression data, we clearly delineated monocytes from conventional DC2 (cDC2), identifying new markers including CD88/CD89 for monocytes and HLA-DQ/Fc?RI? for cDC2, allowing their unambiguous characterization in blood and tissues. We also show that cDC2 can be subdivided into phenotypically and functionally distinct subsets based on CD5, CD163 and CD14 expression, including a unique subset of circulating inflammatory CD5-CD163+CD14+ cells related to previously defined DC3. These inflammatory DC3 were expanded in systemic lupus erythematosus patients, correlating with disease activity. Unravelling the heterogeneity of DC sub-populations in health and disease paves the way for specific DC subset-targeting therapies. Overall design: Indexed single cell RNAseq (scRNAseq) of human peripheral blood dendritic cells and monocytes
