Description
Medulloblastoma (MB) is the most common malignant brain tumor in children, among whom overexpression or amplification of MYC oncogenes has been associated with poor clinical outcome. Although the MYC functions during normal development and oncogenesis in various systems have been extensively investigated, the transcriptional targets mediating MYC effects in MB are still elusive. Their identification and roles during MB onset and progression are important and will ultimately suggest novel potential therapeutic targets. cDNA microarray analysis was used to compare the effects of overexpressing and silencing MYC on the transcriptome of a MB-derived cell line. We identified 209 genes with potential relevance to MYC-dependent cellular responses in MB. Among the MYC-responsive genes, we found members of the bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling pathway, which plays a crucial role during the development of the cerebellum. In particular, the cytokine gene BMP7 was identified as a direct target of MYC in MB cells. Similar to the effect induced by BMP7 silencing by siRNA, the use of a small-molecule inhibitor of the BMP/SMAD signaling pathway reduced cell viability in a panel of MB cells. Altogether, our findings indicate that high MYC levels drive BMP7 expression in MB to induce pro-survival and pro-proliferative cellular pathways. This observation suggests that targeting the BMP/SMAD pathway may be a new therapeutic concept for the treatment of childhood MB.

Description
EML1 and EML3 were previously shown to be histone readers involved in plant-pathogen interactions. To learn more about the developmental function of EML1 and EML3, we generated eml1 eml3 double mutant and showed that it had specific seed developmental phenotypes, including a capability to develop seed without fertilization. Next, we analyzed the mRNA expression of genes in the eml1 eml3 double mutant and compared it to its wild type. Differentially expressed (DE) genes in the mutant were identified and compared with DE of the mutants known to be involved in regulating seed development and in fertilization-independent endosperm development. Our results suggest that some targets are shared between EML histone readers and known regulators of seed development, such as MEA. Auxin response seems to be affected in both types of mutants. However, unlike MEA, EML proteins regulate auxin responsive genes not only in the endosperm, but also in the embryo. This capability makes EML proteins very good candidates for engineering apomictic seeds. Overall design: 3 eml1,eml3 double mutant samples and 3 WT samples
Publication Title
Arabidopsis EMSY-like (EML) histone readers are necessary for post-fertilization seed development, but prevent fertilization-independent seed formation.

Description
Hepatoblastoma, the most common pediatric liver cancer, is tightly linked to excessive Wnt/�-catenin signaling. Microarray analysis identified two tumor subclasses resembling distinct phases of liver development, and a 16-gene signature discriminated invasive and metastatic hepatoblastomas, and predicted prognosis with high accuracy. <br></br>

- Affymetrix Arabidopsis ATH1 Genome Array (ath1121501)
Description
The development of trichomes (leaf hairs) from pluripotent epidermal cells in Arabidopsis provides a powerful system to investigate the regulatory motifs involved in plant cell differentiation. Genetic studies have revealed that a bHLH transcription factor, GL3, activates downstream genes required for trichome initiation by interacting with a R2R3-MYB protein, GL1. In order to investigate genome-wide regulatory functions of GL1 and GL3, we performed genome-wide expression analyses using GR inducible systems of GL1 and GL3.

Genetic studies have revealed that a bHLH transcription factor, GL3, activates downstream genes required for trichome initiation by interacting with a R2R3-MYB protein, GL1. We have taken advantage of several mutants in the trichome developmental pathway and gene expression analyses to identify a set of genes expressed predominantly in Arabidopsis trichomes.
