Description
Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma (iCCA) is a deadly disease with rising incidence and few treatment options. Recently, aberrant Notch signaling was reported in iCCA carcinogenesis. Specifically, altered expression and/or activation of the receptors Notch1/2 suggests a role for Notch pathway overactivation during iCCA formation and progression. In this study, we examined the effects of Notch inhibition by γ-secretase inhibitor, LY3039478 in human iCCA cell lines and in an excellent patient derived-xenograft (PDX) model. Expression of several Notch pathway components, including NICD, Hes1, and DLL4, were reduced after GSI treatment. Moreover, LY3039478 inhibits cell migration and invasion while in GSI-treated mice, tumor growth was delayed compared to vehicle and chemotherapy. These results support the notion that Notch inhibition by GSI may reduce in vivo tumorigenesis. In addition, GSI reduces in PDX model VEGFA and MMP13 involved in capillary tube formation and tumor progression. Here, we therefore show a link between the efficacy of Notch inhibition and the tumor microenvironment through LY3039478 that slows tumor progression compared to control mice blocking angiogenesis via MMP13 downregulation.

Description
Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) induces pro-inflammatory monocytes following infection and we have evidence that EGFR is a key mediator in this early activation. To begin to address how this signalling pathway is responsible for the rapid activation of infected monocytes, we examined the role this pathway played in the transcriptome of infected monocytes. Global transcriptional profiling using cDNA microarrays revealed a significant number of genes, including inflammatory genes, were regulated in a EGFR-dependent manner, identifying this pathway as a key cellular control point in the conversion of monocytes to an activated pro-inflammatory state following HCMV infection.

Activation of EGFR on monocytes is required for human cytomegalovirus entry and mediates cellular motility.

Description
Human cytomegalovirus induces a pro-inflammatory monocyte following infection and we have evidence that NF-B and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase [PI(3)K] are key mediators in this early activation. To begin to address how these signalling pathways are responsible for the rapid activation of infected monocytes, we examined the role these pathways played in the transcriptome of infected monocytes. Global transcriptional profiling using cDNA microarrays revealed a significant number of genes, including inflammatory genes, were regulated in a NF-B- and/or PI(3)K-dependent manner, identifying these pathways as key cellular control points in the conversion of monocytes to an activated pro-inflammatory state following HCMV infection.

Description
Human cytomegalovirus induces a pro-inflammatory monocyte following infection. To begin to address how HCMV induces these rapid changes in infected monocytes, we examined the transcriptome of infected monocytes. Global transcriptional profiling using cDNA microarrays revealed a significant number of pro-inflammatory genes were upregulated within 4 hours post infection.

Description
We have established that human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infection modulates the biology of target primary blood monocytes, allowing HCMV to use monocytes as vehicles for its systemic spread. HCMV infection of monocytes results in rapid induction of PI(3)K and NF-B activity. Integrins, which are upstream of the PI(3)K and NF-B pathways, were shown to be involved in HCMV binding to and entry into fibroblasts, suggesting that receptor-ligand-mediated signaling following viral binding to integrins on monocytes could trigger the functional changes seen in infected monocytes. We now show that integrin engagement and the activation of the integrin/Src-signaling pathway is essential for the induction of HCMV-infected monocyte motility. To investigate how integrin engagement by HCMV triggers monocyte motility, we examined the infected monocyte transcriptome and found that the integrin/Src-signaling pathway regulates the expression of paxillin, which is an important signal transducer in the regulation of actin rearrangement during cell adhesion and movement. Functionally, we observed that paxillin is activated via the integrin/Src-signaling pathway and is required for monocyte motility. Because motility is intimately connected to cellular cytoskeletal organization, a process that is also important in viral entry, we investigated the role paxillin regulation plays in the process of viral entry of monocytes. New results confirmed that HCMV`s ability to enter target monocytes is significantly inhibited in cells deficient in paxillin expression or that had their integrin/Src/paxillin signaling pathway blocked. From our data, HCMV-cell interactions emerge as an essential trigger for the cellular changes that allow for HCMV entry and hematogenous dissemination.

RSC is a growth essential ATP-dependent chromatin-remodeling complex of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Nps1/Sth1 is the ATPase subunit of the complex. A temperature-sensitive mutant allele of NPS1, nps1-13 and the null mutation of the RSC2 or RSC7 gene showed growth defect on a medium containing non fermentable carbon source, such as lactate or ethanol-glycerol (YPEG), suggested a possibility that RSC plays a role on mitochondria function.

Description
We developed a 33-gene signature that is strongly correlated to the time to recurrence in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The signature was validated retrospectively in 5 cohorts of 972 NSCLC patients and in one prospective study of 111 NSCLC Stage IA patients. In all cohorts, and all stages of the disease, the signature identified a rare, aggressive tumor type that had a high proportion of recurrence after surgery and a median survival of 35 months (95% C.I.: 19-58). This tumor type forms a separate cluster in an analysis of the expression of the 33 genes in patient tumors. The signature is associated with cellular processes required by rapidly growing and spreading tumors: cell migration and invasion, vascularization, and response to hypoxia. The signature also identifies patients with good prognosis (median survival 114 months, (95% C.I.: 85-160), and intermediate prognosis (median survival 61 months (95% C. I.: 50-73). The signature is quite robust and works on tumor samples archived in RNAlater, Tissue-Tek, or formalin-fixed and paraffin embedded.
