Description
Mutations in PROP1 are the most common cause of hypopituitarism in humans; therefore, unraveling its mechanism of action is highly relevant from a therapeutic perspective. Our current understanding of the role of PROP1 in the pituitary gland is limited to the regulation of pituitary transcription factors Hesx1 and Pit1. To elucidate the comprehensive PROP1-dependent gene regulatory network, we conducted genome wide analysis of PROP1 DNA binding and effects on gene expression in mutant tissues, isolated stem cells and engineered cell lines. We determined that PROP1 is essential for maintaining proliferation of stem cells and stimulating them to undergo an epithelial to mesenchymal transition-like process necessary for cell migration and differentiation. Genomic profiling reveals that PROP1 binds to and represses claudin 23, characteristic of epithelial cells, and it activates EMT inducer genes: Zeb2, Notch2 and Gli2. Our findings identify PROP1 as a central transcriptional component of pituitary stem cell differentiation. Overall design: Pituitary Colony forming cells mRNA of 13-day old wild type (Prop1 +/+), Prop1 mutants (Prop1df/df), wild type (Pit1+/+) and Pit1 mutants (Pit1 dw/dw) mice were generated by deep sequencing, in triplicates.

Description
Chromosomal instability (CIN) is thought to be a source of mutability in human cancer. However, CIN is highly deleterious for the cell, and the resulting aneuploidy induces metabolic stress and compromises cell fitness. Here we utilized the X-chromosome dosage compensation mechanism and changes in X-chromosome number to demonstrate in Drosophila epithelial cells the causal relationship between CIN, aneuploidy, gene dosage imbalance and tumorigenesis. Whereas the harmful effects of CIN can be buffered by resetting the X-chromosome dosage compensation to compensate for changes in X-chromosome number, interfering with the mechanisms of dosage compensation suffices to induce tumorigenesis. In addition, multiple mechanisms buffer the deleterious effects of CIN including DNA-damage repair, activation of the p38 signalling pathway, and induction of cytokine expression to promote compensatory cell proliferation. These data reveal a key role of gene dosage imbalances to CIN-induced programmed cell death and tumorigenesis and the existence of robust compensatory mechanisms.

Description
Beta-arrestin 1 (ARRB1) has been implicated in transcriptional regulation as part of protein complexes bound to chromatin. Here we investigate its effect on transcription and its potential impact on prostate cancer. We report the first genome-wide mapping of chromatin binding for ARRB1 and combine it with expression array data to define its transcriptome. We identify Hypoxia Inducible Factor 1A (HIF1A) as a nuclear binding partner that recruits ARRB1 to promoter regions of HIF1A targets. We show that ARRB1 modulates HIF1A-dependent transcription and promotes a shift in cellular metabolism from oxidative phosphorylation to aerobic glycolysis. In addition, we show that ARRB1 plays an important role in neoplastic transformation, cell growth and resistance to hypoxic stress. This is the first example of an endocytic adaptor protein regulating metabolic pathways and implicates ARRB1 as a tumour promoter.

Description
Analysis of C4-2 Prostate cancer cell line after 72 hours of knockdown. CHKA is overexpressed in a number of solid tumours, including prostate cancer. Results provide insight into the molecular mechanisms of CHKA in prostate carcinogenesis. Overall design: This experiment was designed to understand the regulation of transcriptome by Choline kinase alpha (CHKA) which is an important enzyme in Kennedy pathway. In order to achieve this, the endogenous protein was knocked down using siRNA pool that targets the CHKA mRNA.

Description
Germinal center (CD19+Fas+GL7+) and naive (CD19+Fas-GL7-) B cells were sorted from Peyer''s patches of littermate 12 weeks old WT C57BL/6 mice. Three biological replicates were analyzed, each composed of a pool of 5 female mice. RNA was purified from pellets of 2-2.5x10^4 cells and sequencing libraries were prepared from 100ng of total RNA per replicate. Overall design: Transcriptional profiling of germinal center and naive B cells from Peyer's patches of WT mice.

Description
Background: Transcriptome variability is due to genetic and environmental causes, much like any other complex phenotype. Ascertaining the transcriptome differences between individuals is an important step to understand how selection and genetic drift may affect gene expression. To that end, extant divergent livestock breeds offer an ideal genetic material.
