Description
The progressive loss of CNS myelin in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) has been proposed to result from the combined effects of damage to oligodendrocytes and failure of remyelination. A common feature of demyelinated lesions is the presence of oligodendrocyte precursors (OLPs) blocked at a premyelinating stage. However, the mechanistic basis for inhibition of myelin repair is incompletely understood. To identify novel regulators of OLP differentiation, potentially dysregulated during repair, we performed a genome-wide screen of 1040 transcription factor-encoding genes expressed in remyelinating rodent lesions. We report that 50 transcription factor-encoding genes show dynamic expression during repair and that expression of the Wnt pathway mediator Tcf4 (aka Tcf7l2) within OLPs is specific to lesionedbut not normaladult white matter. We report that -catenin signaling is active during oligodendrocyte development and remyelination in vivo. Moreover, we observed similar regulation of Tcf4 in the developing human CNS and lesions of MS. Data mining revealed elevated levels of Wnt pathway mRNA transcripts and proteins within MS lesions, indicating activation of the pathway in this pathological context. We show that dysregulation of Wnt-catenin signaling in OLPs results in profound delay of both developmental myelination and remyelination, based on (1) conditional activation of -catenin in the oligodendrocyte lineage in vivo and (2) findings from APCMin mice, which lack one functional copy of the endogenous Wnt pathway inhibitor APC. Together, our findings indicate that dysregulated Wnt-catenin signaling inhibits myelination/remyelination in the mammalian CNS. Evidence of Wnt pathway activity in human MS lesions suggests that its dysregulation might contribute to inefficient myelin repair in human neurological disorders.

Description
Developmental regulation of gliogenesis in the mammalian CNS is incompletely understood, in part due to a limited repertoire of lineage-specific genes. We used Aldh1l1-GFP as a marker for gliogenic radial glia and later-stage precursors of developing astrocytes and performed gene expression profiling of these cells. We then used this dataset to identify candidate transcription factors that may serve as glial markers or regulators of glial fate. Our analysis generated a database of developmental stage-related markers of Aldh1l1+ cells between murine embryonic day 13.5-18.5. Using these data we identify the bZIP transcription factor Nfe2l1 and demonstrate that it promotes glial fate under direct Sox9 regulatory control. Thus, this dataset represents a resource for identifying novel regulators of glial development.

Description
Solid tumors are less oxygenated than normal tissues, and for this reason the cancer cells have developed several molecular mechanisms of adaptation to hypoxic environment. Moreover, his poor oxygenation is a major indicator of an adverse prognosis and leads resistance to standard anticancer treatment. Previous reports from this laboratory showed an involvement of Che-1/AATF (Che-1) in cancer cell survival under stress conditions, and on the basis of these observations, we hypothesized that Che-1 might have a role in the response of cancer cells to hypoxia. Methods: The human colon adenocarcinoma cell line HCT116 depleted or not for Che-1 by siRNA, was subjected to normoxic and hypoxic conditions to perform studies about the role of this protein in metabolic adaptation and cell proliferation. The expression of Che-1 under normoxia or hypoxia was detected using western blot assays; cell metabolism was assessed by NMR spectroscopy and functional assays. Further molecular studies were performed by RNA seq, qRT-PCR and ChIP analysis. Results: In this paper we report that Che-1 expression is required for the adaptation of the cells to hypoxia, playing and important role in metabolic modulation. Indeed, Che-1 depletion impacted on glycolysis by altering the expression of several genes involved in the response to hypoxia by modulating the levels of HIF-1alpha. Conclusions: These data demonstrate a novel player in the regulation of a HIF1alpha in response to hypoxia. We found that the transcriptional down-regulation of a members of E3 ubiquitin ligase family SIAH2 by Che-1, produces a failure in the degradation by the hydroxylase PHD3 with a decrease in HIF-1alpha levels during hypoxia. Overall design: The human colon adenocarcinoma cell line HCT116 depleted or not for Che-1 by siRNA was profiled for mRNA high-troughput sequencing (RNA-seq)

Description
Che-1 is a RNA Polymerase II binding protein involved in the regulation of gene transcription. We have observed that Che-1 depletion induces apoptosis in several cancer cells expressing mutated forms of p53. We used microarrays to investigate classes of genes regulated by Che-1 in one of these cell lines.
