Description
Employing MCT-1 oncogene mediated transformation of immortalized breast epithelial MCF10A cells; we characterized the largely reciprocal association of these two RBPs with target mRNAs and their influence on protein expression vis--vis cellular transformation. Using a ribonomics approach, we identified mRNAs from cancer-related pathways whose association with AUF1 and/or HuR were altered when comparing immortalized with transformed MCF10A cells.

Description
Published molecular profiling studies in patients with lymphoma suggested the influence of hypoxia inducible factor-1 alpha (HIF1) targets in prognosis of DLBCL. Yet, the role of hypoxia in hematological malignancies remains unclear. We observed that activation of HIF1 resulted in global translation repression during hypoxic stress in DLBCL. Protein translation efficiency as measured using 35S-labeled methionine incorporation revealed a 50% reduction in translation upon activation of HIF1. Importantly, translation was not completely inhibited and expression of clinically correlated hypoxia targets such as GLUT1, HK2, and CYT-C was found to be refractory to translational repression under hypoxia in DLBCL cells. Notably, hypoxic induction of these genes was not observed in normal primary B-cells. Translational repression was coupled with a decrease in mitochondrial function. Screening of primary DLBCL patient samples revealed that expression of HK2, which encodes for the enzyme hexokinase 2, was significantly correlated with DLBCL phenotype. Genetic knockdown studies demonstrated that HK2 is required for promoting growth of DLBCL under hypoxic stress. Altogether, our findings provide strong support for the direct contribution of HK2 in B-cell lymphoma development and suggest that HK2 is a key metabolic driver of the DLBCL phenotype.ne incorporation revealed a 50% reduction in translation upon activation of HIF1.

Description
We examined the biological effects of a potent second-generation proteasome inhibitor, ixazomib, in T-cell lymphoma and Hodgkin lymphoma cell lines and human xenograft models. Ixazomib resulted in time- and dose-dependent cytotoxicity and apoptosis in all cell lines (IC50s <75nM). In vivo studies via SCID tumor xenografts showed significant inhibition of tumor growth (P<0.001) with significantly improved survival (P<0.001) in Jurkat and L540 models with ixazomib-treated mice versus controls. Through global transcriptome and network analyses, ixazomib-treated Jurkat and L540 cells showed significant overlap in biological functions involved in regulation of cell cycle, chromatin modification, and DNA repair processes with a lack of conservation observed in a relatively ixazomib-resistant cell line, L428. Moreover, the predicted activation and inhibition status of tumor suppressors and oncogenes strongly favored ixazomib inhibition of tumor progression. Most notably, ixazomib down-regulated protein levels of MYC and its target genes. Additionally, chromatin immunoprecipitation showed that histone H3 acetylation affected MYC levels and cell death response to ixazomib. Furthermore, inhibition of MYC with JQ1 resulted in synergistic cell death in L428, which was confirmed utilizing MYC knockout. Collectively, ixazomib down-regulated MYC and downstream substrates in TCL and HL, while resistance appeared mediated through MYC- and CHK1-dependent mechanisms.

Description
Deregulation of the translational machinery is emerging as a critical contributor to lymphomagenesis. Various miRNA alterations have been identified in lymphoma, but their role in disrupting the cap-dependent translation regulation complex remains poorly understood. Here, we demonstrate the translation initiation factor, eIF4GII, as a direct target and major mediator of miR-520c-3p function through 3UTR of eIF4GII mRNA. We established that elevated miR-520c-3p represses translation, initiates premature senescence and blocks cell proliferation in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Moreover, miR-520c-3p overexpression diminishes DLBCL cells colony formation and reduces tumor growth in a lymphoma xenograft mouse model. miR-520c-3p overexpressing cells display lowered eIF4GII levels. Consequently, downregulation of eIF4GII by siRNA induces cellular senescence, decreases cell proliferation and ability to form colonies. Our in vitro and in vivo findings we further validated in patient samples; DLBCL primary cells demonstrated low miR-520c-3p levels with reciprocally highly up-regulated eIF4GII protein expression. In contrast, normal donor B-cell lymphocytes had low levels of eIF4GII protein and elevated miR-520c-3p levels. Our results provide evidence that the tumor suppressor effect of miR-520c-3p is mediated through repression of cap-dependent translation while inducing senescence and that eIF4GII is a key effector of this anti-tumor activity. These findings may have implications for therapeutic interventions in patients with DLBCL.

Description
Dosage compensation restores a balanced network of gene expression between autosomes and sex chromosomes in males (XY) and females (XX). In mammals, this is achieved by doubling the expression of X-linked genes in both sexes, together with X inactivation in females. X up-regulation may be controlled by DNA sequence based and/or epigenetic mechanisms that double the X output potentially in response to an autosomal counting factor. Human triploids with either one or two active X chromosomes (Xa) provide a mean to test X chromosome expression in the presence of three sets of autosomes, which will help understand the underlying mechanisms of X up-regulation.

Description
Men are at an increased risk of dying from heart failure caused by inflammatory heart diseases such as atherosclerosis, myocarditis and dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). We previously showed that macrophages in the spleen are phenotypically distinct in male compared to female mice at 12 hours (h) after infection. This innate immune profile mirrors and predicts the cardiac immune response during acute myocarditis.

Human umbilical cord Whartons jelly stem cells (WHJSC) are gaining attention as a possible clinical source of mesenchymal stem cells for use in cell therapy and tissue engineering due to their high accessibility, expansion potential and plasticity. However, the cell viability changes that are associated to sequential cell passage of these cells are not known. In this analysis, we have identified the gene expression changes that are associated to cell passage in WHJSC.
