Description
Diet-induced obesity is characterized by macrophage (MF) infiltration and low-grade chronic inflammation in white adipose tissue (WAT) leading to insulin resistance. WAT MF are highly heterogeneous in their origin, patterns of gene expression and activities: unlike infiltrating monocyte-derived MF that promote inflammation and metabolic dysfunction, tissue-resident WAT MF originally described as ‘M2’ are phenotypically anti-inflammatory and counteract obesity and insulin resistance. Despite the critical role of the balance between these MF populations in metabolic homeostasis, the molecular mechanisms and key players that establish the resident MF transcription program are poorly understood. We recently reported that glucocorticoid receptor (GR)-interacting protein (GRIP)1 - a nuclear receptor coactivator - cooperates with GR to repress transcription of inflammatory genes. Here, using mice conditionally lacking GRIP1 in MF (cKO), we show that GRIP1 promotes MF polarization in response to IL4 (M2(IL4)) via a nuclear receptor-independent pathway by serving as a coactivator for Kruppel-like factor (KLF)4 – a critical driver of tissue MF differentiation. Interestingly, in vivo, GRIP1 cKO mice challenged with high-fat diet develop massive MF infiltration and chronic inflammation in WAT and liver, fatty livers, hyperglycemia, hyperinsulinemia and glucose intolerance consistent with metabolic syndrome phenotype. Together, our findings identify GRIP1 as a critical regulator of immunometabolism, which relies on distinct transcriptional mechanisms to coordinate the balance between MF populations in vivo thereby protecting mice from obesity-induced metabolic disease. Overall design: 1. Examination of IL4 induced transcriptome in in vitro differentiated primary bone marrow-derived macrophages. 2. Examination of macrophage transcriptome in macrophages isolated from the white adipose tissue of the WT and GRIP1(cKO) conditional KO animals

Description
Mutant RAS oncoproteins activate signaling molecules that drive oncogenesis in multiple human tumors including acute myelogenous leukemia (AML). However, the specific function of these pathways in AML is unclear. To elucidate the downstream functions of activated NRAS in AML, we employed a murine model of AML harboring Mll-AF9 and NRASG12V. We found that NRASG12V enforced leukemia self-renewal gene expression signatures and was required to maintain an MLL-AF9 and MYB-dependent gene expression program. In a multiplexed analysis of RAS-dependent signaling intermediates, the leukemia stem cell compartment was preferentially sensitive to RAS withdrawal. Use of RAS-pathway inhibitors showed that NRASG12V maintained leukemia self-renewal through mTOR and MEK pathway activation, implicating these pathways as potential targets for cancer stem cell-specific therapies. Overall design: Primary leukemia cells harvested from spleens were sorted into immunophenotypic subpopulations (Mac-1High, Mac-1LowKit–Sca-1–, Mac-1LowKit+Sca-1–, and Mac-1LowKit+Sca-1+). RNA was extracted from this subpopulations of cells and submitted for RNA sequencing.

Description
In dendritic cells, expression of the H3K9me3 demethylase JmjD2d is upregulated by LPS stimulation. To identify genes whose induction by LPS depends on JmjD2d activity, we performed a microarray analysis of wild-type and JmjD2d-knockdown dendritic cells, before and after stimulation with LPS.

Description
In animal gonads, 23-30nt long PIWI interacting RNAs (piRNAs) guarantee genome integrity by guiding the sequence specific silencing of selfish genetic elements such as transposons. Two major branches of piRNA biogenesis, namely primary processing and ping-pong amplification, feed into the PIWI clade of Argonaute proteins. Despite our conceptual understanding of piRNA biogenesis, major gaps exist in the mechanistic understanding of the underlying molecular processes as well as in the knowledge of the involved players. Here, we demonstrate an essential role for the female sterility gene shutdown in the piRNA pathway. Shutdown, an evolutionarily conserved co-chaperone of the immunophilin class is the first piRNA biogenesis factor that is essential for all primary and secondary piRNA populations in Drosophila. Based on these findings, we define distinct groups of piRNA biogenesis factors and reveal the core concept of how PIWI family proteins are hard-wired into piRNA biogenesis processes. Overall design: small-RNA libraries from 2 control samples and 7 knock-down samples of D. mel. ovaries and 2 small-RNA profiles from Piwi IP and Aub IP from OSCs.
