Description
Myocardial infarction (MI) triggers a reparative response involving fibroblast proliferation and differentiation driving extracellular matrix modulation necessary to form a stabilizing scar. Recently, it was shown that a genetic variant of the base excision repair enzyme endonuclease VIII-like 3 (NEIL3) was associated with increased risk of MI in humans. Here, we report elevated myocardial NEIL3 expression in heart failure patients and marked myocardial upregulation of Neil3 following MI in mice, especially in a fibroblast-enriched cell fraction. Neil3-/- mice showed increased mortality after MI compared to WT, caused by myocardial rupture. Neil3-/- hearts displayed enrichment of mutations in genes involved in mitogenesis of fibroblasts and transcriptome analysis revealed dysregulated fibrosis. Correspondingly, proliferation of vimentin+ and aSMA+ (myo)fibroblasts was increased in Neil3-/- hearts following MI. We propose that NEIL3 operates in genomic regions crucial for regulation of cardiac fibroblast proliferation and thereby controls extracellular matrix modulation after MI. Overall design: RNA from infarcted and non-infarcted LV of WT and Neil3-/- C57BL/6 mice obtained three days after induced myocardial infarction were subjected to RNA sequencing using Illumina Hiseq 2000

Description
To uncover molecular mechanisms specifically involved in the pathogenesis of colitis-associated colon cancer (CAC), we studied tumorigenesis in experimental models of CAC and sporadic CRC that mimic characteristics of human CRC. Using comparative whole genome expression profiling, we observed differential expression of epiregulin (Ereg) in mouse models of colitis-associated, but not sporadic colorectal cancer. Similarly, highly significant upregulation of Ereg expression was found in cohorts of patients with colitis-associated cancer in inflammatory bowel disease but not in sporadic colorectal cancer. Furthermore, tumor-associated fibroblasts were identified as major source of Ereg in colitis-associated neoplasias. Functional studies showed that Ereg-deficient mice, although more prone to colitis, are strongly protected from colitis-associated tumors, and data from serial endoscopic studies revealed that Ereg promotes growth rather than initiation of tumors.

Description
Here, we examined the role of intestinal epithelial specific tumor suppressive function of 53. We provide evidence that p53 plays a dual role during carcinogen-induced tumorigenesis. At the initiation stage, p53 controls DNA damage and survival of initiated epithelia. In contrast, at later stages, loss of p53 is associated with the formation of an inflammatory microenvironment that is linked to epithelial mesenchymal transition, invasion and metastasis and the activation of NF-kappaB and Stat3. Thus, we propose a novel p53 controlled tumor suppressive function during the progression stage of colorectal cancer that is independent of its well-established role in cell cycle regulation, apoptosis and senescence.

Description
The heat shock response (HSR) is a mechanism to cope with proteotoxic stress by inducing the expression of molecular chaperones and other heat shock response genes. The HSR is evolutionarily well conserved and has been widely studied in bacteria, cell lines and lower eukaryotic model organisms. However, mechanistic insights into the HSR in higher eukaryotes, in particular in mammals, are limited. We have developed an in vivo heat shock protocol to analyze the HSR in mice and dissected heat shock factor 1 (HSF1)-dependent and -independent pathways. Whilst the induction of proteostasis-related genes was dependent on HSF1, the regulation of circadian function related genes, indicating that the circadian clock oscillators have been reset, was independent of its presence. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the in vivo HSR is impaired in mouse models of Huntington's disease but we were unable to corroborate the general repression of transcription after a heat shock found in lower eukaryotes. Overall design: RNA-Seq was performed on mRNA isolated from quadriceps femoris muscle of 24 mice. These mice were of wild type, R6/2, and Hsf1-/- genotypes. Two mice of each genotype were tested in four conditions: (1) heat shock, (2) control heat shock, (3) HSP90 inhibition (NVP-HSP990), and (4) HSP90 inhibition vehicle.

Description
Cell Line: This experiment was designed to measure the transcriptional responses to four kinase inhibitors across a five-logarithm dose range. The A549 human lung cancer cell line was treated with dasatinib, imatinib or nilotinib (4 hours and 20 hours) or PD0325901 (4 hours). Treatments used a 12-point dose range (30 uM with 3-fold dilutions down to 0.17 nM; 0.5% DMSO vehicle for all treatments). Experimental design prevented row or column handling effects being confounded with dose effect.
