Affymetrix Vitis vinifera (Grape) Genome Array (vitisvinifera)
Description
Oxidative stress can arise when in vitro propagated plants developed under low light conditions are exposed to high light during transfer to ex vitro conditions. In such a situation, among the many potential stresses to which the transferred plant can be exposed, oxidative stress is commonly experienced, most likely brought about by absorption of light energy in excess of that required for very low levels of photosynthetic metabolism. In vitro propagated grapevine when transferred to ex vitro conditions with a 4 fold increase in PPFD shows an initial inhibition of PET accompanied by an accumulation of H2O2, suggesting a signal for the upregulation in gene expression and antioxidant enzyme activity, which peaked at 48h after transfer of in vitro grapevine to ex vitro growing conditions.

Description
Malignant progression in cancer has been associated with the emergence of populations of tumor-initiating cells (TIC) endowed with capabilities for unlimited self-renewal, survival under stress and establishment of distant metastases. Additionally, the acquisition of invasive properties driven by the genetic program known as epithelialmesenchymal transition (EMT) may be an essential step in the evolution of neoplastic cells into fully metastatic populations. A widely accepted paradigm is that EMT potentiates tumor cell self-renewal and metastatic behaviour. Here we describe a cellular model in which a clonal population enriched in TIC expresses a genetic program distinct from a second population with traits of stable EMT, and in which both populations cooperate for enhanced local invasiveness and metastasis. Induction of the TIC-enriched population to undergo EMT by several stimuli or by constitutive overexpression of the transcription factor SNAI1 engaged a mesenchymal program while suppressing the CSC program. This suggests that TIC and EMT, contrary to current paradigms, correspond to alternative states. Furthermore, diffusible factors secreted by the population with EMT traits also induced mesenchymal reprogramming of the population enriched in CSCs. Local invasiveness in vitro and lung colonization in vivo of the TIC-enriched population was enhanced by co-injection with the EMT-trait population, and expanded the range of organs to which it metastasized. Thus, in our model, relatively stable TIC and EMT phenotypes reflect alternative genetic programs expressed by distinct clonal populations. We also suggest that dynamic cooperation between tumor subpopulations displaying either TIC or EMT traits may be a general mechanism driving local invasiveness and metastasis.

Description
The eukaryotic genome is organized in a three-dimensional structure called chromatin, constituted by DNA and associated proteins, the majority of which are histones. Post-translational modifications of histone proteins greatly influence chromatin structure and regulate many DNA-based biological processes. Methylation of lysine 36 of histone 3 (H3K36) is a post-translational modification functionally relevant during early steps of DNA damage repair. Here, we show that the JMJD-5 regulates H3K36 di-methylation and it is required at late stages of double strand break repair mediated by homologous recombination. Loss of jmjd-5 results in hypersensitivity to ionizing radiation and in meiotic defects, and it is associated with aberrant retention of RAD-51 at sites of double strand breaks. Analyses of jmjd-5 genetic interactions with genes required for resolving recombination intermediates (rtel-1) or promoting the resolution of RAD-51 double stranded DNA filaments (rfs-1 and helq-1) suggest that jmjd-5 prevents the formation of stalled postsynaptic recombination intermediates and favors RAD-51 removal. As these phenotypes are all recapitulated by a catalytically inactive jmjd-5 mutant, we propose a novel role for H3K36me2 regulation during late steps of homologous recombination critical to preserve genome integrity. Overall design: RNA sequencing of N2 and jmjd-5(tm3735) at 20C and 25C at generation 1 (G1) and generation 6 (G6)

Description
The PLZF transcription factor is essential for osteogenic differentiation of hMSCs, however, its regulation and molecular function during this process is not fully understood. Here we revealed that the ZBTB16 locus encoding PLZF, is repressed by Polycomb (PcG) and H3K27me3 in naïve hMSCs. At the pre-osteoblast stage of differentiation, the locus lost PcG binding and H3K27me3, gained JMJD3 recruitment, and H3K27ac resulting in high expression of PLZF. Subsequently, PLZF was recruited to osteogenic enhancers, influencing H3K27 acetylation and expression of nearby genes important for osteogenic function. Furthermore, we identified a latent enhancer within the ZBTB16/PLZF locus itself that became active, gained PLZF, p300 and Mediator binding and looped to the promoter of the nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT) gene. The increased expression of NNMT correlated with a decline in SAM levels, which is dependent on PLZF and is required for osteogenic differentiation. Overall design: Effect of PLZF knockdown on osteogenic differentiation of hMSC (RNAseq)

Description
Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is an immune-mediated peripheral neuropathy that debilitates the voluntary and autonomous response of the patient. In this study the transcriptome of peripheral blood mononuclear cells from a GBS patient and her healthy twin were compared to discover possible correlates of disease progression and recovery. Overall design: Blood samples were collected simultaneously from the Guillain-Barré patient (A) and from her control healthy twin (B) at three different time points during disease progression from hospitalization in the intensive care unit (T1), passing to intermediate care (T2), and at conclusion of locomotion rehabilitation program when the patient was close to abandon the hospital (T3).

Affymetrix Human Exon 1.0 ST Array [transcript (gene) version (huex10st)
Description
We analysed the RNA profile of IPSC-derived dopaminergic neurons from idiophatic and genetic form (LRRK2) of Parkinsons disease (PD). Both, idiopathic and genetic form of the disease show similar expression alterations and were merged in one whole PD group. We found 437 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in the PD group as a whole. Up-regulated DEGs (n=254) encompassed genes involved in neural functions and transcription factor functions whereas down-regulated DEGs (n=183) affected basic homeostasis. These data point towards the presence of gene - and also protein - expression changes in DAn from PD patients which co-occur simultaneously along with DNA methylation changes.
