Description
Mass populations of thyrocytes stably expressing wild type RET/PTC1 oncogene or RET/PTC1 carrying Y451F mutation and parental thyrocytes were used for hybridization on Affymetrix HG-U133A and HG-U133B chips. For each cell condition were generated two different targets (indicated as two different samples in the database, i.e. "Parental Thyrocytes" and "Parental Thyrocytes bis")for a total number of six samples. For the data analysis the two samples from the same condition (i.e. Parental thyrocytes) were considered as duplicates.

Description
By sequencing 36 cDNA libraries with Illumina technology, we identified genes differentially expressed in soybean plants in response to water deficit and genes that were either up- or down-regulated in different periods of the day. Of 54,175 predicted soybean genes (Glyma v1.1), 35.52% exhibited expression oscillations in a 24 h period. This number increased to 39.23% when plants were submitted to water deficit. Major differences in gene expression were observed in the control plants from late day (ZT16) until predawn (ZT20) periods, indicating that gene expression oscillates during the course of 24 h in normal development. Under water deficit, dissimilarity increased in all time-periods, indicating that the applied stress influenced gene expression. Results suggest that time of day, as well as light and temperature oscillations that occur considerably affect the regulation of water deficit stress response in soybean plants. Overall design: Gene expression analysis of soybean leaves under water deficit in 6 periods of day by sequencing 36 libraries, in triplicate, in Illumina platform.

Description
We analyzed the global effect of c-Myb knockdown by sequencing the transcriptomes of K-562 cells transfected with control siRNA and si2992 (MYB knockdown), as well as K-562 cells stably expressing TY-tagged wild type c-Myb and c-Myb D152V transfected with si2992 Overall design: Cells were tranfected with siRNA and 24 hours after total RNA was extracted. Three individual experiments were performed. Libraries were prepared and 125-bp paired-end reads were obtained using an Illumina HiSeq 2500 sequencer
Publication Title
A c-Myb mutant causes deregulated differentiation due to impaired histone binding and abrogated pioneer factor function.

Description
KAP1 (TRIM28) is a transcriptional regulator in embryonic development that controls stem cell self-renewal, chromatin organization and the DNA damage response, acting as an essential co-repressor for KRAB family zinc finger proteins (KRAB-ZNF). To gain insight into the function of this large gene family, we developed an antibody that recognizes the conserved zinc fingers linker region (ZnFL) in multiple KRAB-ZNF. Here we report that the expression of many KRAB-ZNF along with active SUMOlyated KAP1 is elevated widely in human breast cancers. KAP1 silencing in breast cancer cells reduced proliferation and inhibited the growth and metastasis of tumor xenografts. Conversely, KAP1 overexpression stimulated cell proliferation and tumor growth. In cells where KAP1 was silenced, we identified multiple downregulated genes linked to tumor progression and metastasis, including EREG/epiregulin, PTGS2/COX2, MMP1, MMP2 and CD44, along with downregulation of multiple KRAB-ZNF proteins. KAP1-dependent stabilization of KRAB-ZNF required direct interactions with KAP1. Together, our results show that KAP1-mediated stimulation of multiple KRAB-ZNF contributes to the growth and metastasis of breast cancer.

Description
RORt+ innate lymphoid cells (ILC) are crucial players of innate immune responses and represent a major source of IL-22, which has an important role in mucosal homeostasis. The signals required by RORt+ ILC to express IL-22 and other cytokines, including TNF, have only partially been elucidated. Here we show that RORt+ ILC can directly sense the environment by the engagement of the activating receptor NKp44. NKp44 triggering in RORt+ ILC selectively activates a coordinated pro-inflammatory program, including TNF, while cytokine stimulation induces preferentially IL-22 expression. However, combined engagement of NKp44 and cytokine receptors results in a strong synergistic effect. These data support the concept that NKp44+ RORt+ ILC can be activated without cytokines and are able to switch between IL-22 or TNF production, depending on the triggering stimulus.

Description
Myotonic dystrophes (DM), the most common adult muscular dystrophy, are the first recognized examples of RNA-mediated diseases in which expression of mutant RNAs containing expanded CUG or CCUG repeats interfere with the splicing of other mRNAs. Using whole-genome microarrays, we found that alternative splicing of the BIN1 mRNA is altered in DM skeletal muscle tissues, resulting in the expression of an inactive form of BIN1 deprived of phosphoinositide-binding and membrane-tubulating activities. BIN1 is involved in tubular invaginations of the plasma membrane and is essential for biogenesis of the muscle T-tubules, which are specialized skeletal muscle membrane structures essential to correct excitation-contraction (E-C) coupling. Mutations in the BIN1 gene cause centronuclear myopathy (CNM) that shares some histopathological features with DM, and both diseases are characterized by muscle weakness. Consistent with a loss-of-function of BIN1, muscle T-tubules were altered in DM patients, and membrane tubulation was restored upon expression of the correct splicing form of BIN1 in DM muscle cells. By deciphering the mechanism of BIN1 splicing mis-regulation we demonstrate that the splicing regulator, MBNL1, which is sequestered by expanded CUG and CCUG in DM, binds the BIN1 pre-mRNA and regulates directly its alternative splicing. Finally, reproducing BIN1 splicing alteration in mice is sufficient to reproduce the DM features of T-tubule alterations and muscle weakness. We propose that alteration of BIN1 alternative splicing regulation leads to muscle weakness, a predominant pathological feature of DM.
Publication Title
Misregulated alternative splicing of BIN1 is associated with T tubule alterations and muscle weakness in myotonic dystrophy.
