Description
Advanced ovarian cancers are initially responsive to chemotherapy with platinum drugs but develop drug resistance in most cases. We showed recently that hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) enhances death of human ovarian cancer cell lines treated with cisplatin (CDDP) and that this effect is mediated by the p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase. In this work, we integrated genome-wide expression profiling, in silico data survey, and functional assays to identify transcripts regulated in SK-OV-3 ovarian cancer cells made more responsive to CDDP by HGF. Using oligonucleotide microarrays, we found that HGF pretreatment changes the transcriptional response to CDDP. Quantitative reverse transcription-PCR not only validated all the 15 most differentially expressed genes but also confirmed that they were primarily modulated by the combined treatment with HGF and CDDP and reversed by suppressing p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase activity. Among the differentially expressed genes, we focused functional analysis on two regulatory subunits of the protein phosphatase 2A, which were down-modulated by HGF plus CDDP. Decrease of each subunit by RNA interference made ovarian cancer cells more responsive to CDDP, mimicking the effect of HGF. In conclusion, we show that HGF and CDDP modulate transcription in ovarian cancer cells and that this transcriptional response is involved in apoptosis regulation. We also provide the proof-of-concept that the identified genes might be targeted to either increase the efficacy of chemotherapeutics or revert chemotherapy resistance.

Description
We have investigated the effects of cigarette smoke exposure in three different strains of mice. DBA/2 and C57Bl/6J are susceptible to smoke and develop different lung changes in response to chronic exposure, while ICR mice are resistant to smoke and do not develop emphysema. The present study was carried out to determine early changes in the gene expression profile of mice exposed to cigarette smoke with either a susceptible or resistant phenotype.
Publication Title
Early response of gene clusters is associated with mouse lung resistance or sensitivity to cigarette smoke.

Description
This study assessed the transcriptional profile of SiHa cells. SiHa is a cervical cancer cell line with integrated HPV16, and was used as a model to study human gene expression in the context of integrated virus. Gene expression in SiHa, calculated by Cufflinks, was scored in windows around the locations of known viral integrations in patients or cell lines to determine if there was an association between gene expression and viral integration. We found that SiHa gene expression was higher near loci of integration for HPV18 vs. HPV16, cervical tissues vs. head and neck cancers, and cervical cancers vs. in vitro integrations. This study provides insight into the factors that may influence where viruses integrate in the human genome. Overall design: Gene Expression in untreated SiHa cells.

Description
Mitochondrial oxidative function is tightly controlled to maintain energy homeostasis in response to nutrient and hormonal signals. An important cellular component in the energy sensing response is the target of rapamycin (TOR) kinase pathway; however whether and how mTOR controls mitochondrial oxidative activity is unknown. Here, we show that mTOR kinase activity stimulates mitochondrial gene expression and oxidative function. In skeletal muscle cells and TSC2-/- MEFs, the mTOR inhibitor rapamycin largely decreased gene expression of mitochondrial transcriptional regulators such as PGC-1alpha and the transcription factors ERRalpha and NRFs. As a consequence, mitochondrial gene expression and oxygen consumption were reduced upon mTOR inhibition. Using computational genomics, we identified the transcription factor YY1 as a common target of mTOR and PGC-1alpha that controls mitochondrial gene expression. Inhibition of mTOR resulted in a failure of YY1 to interact and be coactivated by PGC-1alpha. Notably, knock-down of YY1 in skeletal muscle cells caused a significant decrease in mRNAs of mitochondrial regulators and mitochondrial genes that resulted in a decrease in respiration. Moreover, YY1 was required for rapamycin-dependent repression of mitochondrial genes. Thus, we have identified a novel mechanism in which a nutrient sensor (mTOR) balances energy metabolism via transcriptional control of mitochondrial oxidative function. These results have important implications for our understanding of how these pathways might be altered in metabolic diseases and cancer.

Description
Purpose: Citron kinase (CitK) knockout mice show a severe form of primary microcephaly, associated with ataxia and lethal epilepsy. This phenotype is caused by massive apoptosis occuring during embryonic and post-natal brain development, associated with cytokinesis failure. Cerebellum is the tissue showing highest sensitivity to CitK loss. The clinical phenotype of CitK knockout mice is significantly resued by P53 inactivation. In addition, CitK/P53 double knockout brains have almost normal levels of apoptosis, but display high percentage of binucleated and multinucleated cells. The aim of this study was to analyze the gene expression changes produced in developing neural tissue by CitK loss and to determine which alterations are P53-dependent. expression changes Methods: We analyzed by RNA sequencing total RNA extracted from P4 cerebellum of mice characterized by the following genotypes: 1. CitK +/-, P53 +/- (CTRL); 2. CitK -/-, P53 +/- (CitK-KO); 3. CitK +/-, P53 -/- (P53-KO); 4. CitK -/-, P53 -/- (D-KO). Biological triplicates were analyzed per every genotype. Conclusions: The loss of CitK leads to a strong reduction of the expression of pro-neural genes and induces a P53-related pro-apoptotic gene sets. The analysis of D-KO mice reveals that most of these changes are P53-dependent, but many genes implicated in growth arrest are induced through P53-independent mechanisms. Overall design: Cerebellar mRNA profiles of 4-day old mice of CTRL, CitK-KO, P53-KO and D-KO mice were generated by deep sequencing, in triplicate, using Illumina HiScan SQ

Description
Craniosynostosis is a disease defined by premature fusion of one or more cranial sutures. The mechanistic pathology of isolated single-suture craniosynostosis is complex and while a number of genetic biomarkers and environmental predispositions have been identified, in many cases the causes remain controversial and inconclusive at best. After controlling for variables contributing to potential bias, FGF7, SFRP4, and VCAM1 emerged as potential genetic biomarkers for single-suture craniosynostosis due to their significantly large changes in gene expression compared to the control population. Furthermore, pathway analysis implicated focal adhesion and extracellular matrix (ECM)-receptor interaction as differentially regulated gene networks when comparing all cases of single-suture synostosis and controls. Lastly, overall gene expression was found to be highly conserved between coronal and metopic cases, as evidenced by the fact that WNT2 and IGFBP2 were the only differentially regulated genes identified in a direct comparison. These results not only confirm the roles of previously reported craniosynostosis-related targets but also introduce novel genetic biomarkers and pathways that may play critical roles in its pathogenesis.
