Description
Genome-wide mapping and characterization of novel Notch-regulated long non-coding RNAs in acute leukemia Overall design: Total RNA was extracted from samples using the RNeasy Plus mini kit (Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA). Samples were then subject to PolyA selection (Figures 1E, 5F and 5G only) using oligo-dT beads (Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA) or rRNA removal (all other samples) using the Ribo-Zero kit (Epicentre, Madison, WI) according to the manufacturers instructions. The resulting RNA samples were then used as input for library construction using the dUTP method as described by Parkhomchuck et al, 2009. RNA libraries were then sequenced on the Illumina HiSeq 2000 or 2500 using 50bp paired-end reads.

Description
Productive rearrangement of the immunoglobulin heavy chain locus triggers a major developmental checkpoint that promotes limited clonal expansion of pre-B cells, culminating in cell cycle arrest and rearrangement of the kappa () or lambda () light-chain loci. B lineage cells lacking the related transcription factors IRF-4 and IRF-8 undergo a developmental arrest at the cycling pre-B cell stage and are blocked for light-chain recombination. Using Irf-4,8-/- pre-B cells we demonstrate that two pathways converge to synergistically drive light-chain rearrangement, a process that is not simply activated by cell cycle exit. One pathway is directly dependent on IRF-4, whose expression is elevated by pre-BCR signaling. IRF-4 targets the 3 and enhancers to increase locus accessibility and positions a kappa allele away from pericentromeric heterochromatin. The other pathway is triggered by attenuation of IL-7 signaling and results in activation of the intronic enhancer via binding of the transcription factor, E2A. Intriguingly, IRF-4 regulates the expression of CXCR4 and promotes the migration of pre-B cells in response to the chemokine CXCL12. We propose that IRF-4 coordinates the two pathways regulating light-chain recombination by positioning pre-B cells away from IL-7 expressing stromal cells.

Description
Ubiquitination is a post-translational mechanism of control of diverse cellular processes. We focus here on the ubiquitin ligase Fbw7, a recently identified hematopoietic tumor suppressor that can target for degradation several important oncogenes including Notch1, c-Myc and cyclin E. We have generated conditional Fbw7 knock-out animals and inactivated the gene in hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) and their differentiated progeny. Deletion of Fbw7 specifically and rapidly affects the HSC compartment in a cell-autonomous manner. Fbw7-/- HSCs show defective maintenance of quiescence, leading to impaired self-renewal and a severe loss of competitive repopulating capacity. Furthermore, Fbw7-/- HSC are unable to colonize the thymus leading to a profound depletion of T cell progenitors. Deletion of Fbw7 in bone marrow stem cells and progenitors leads to the stabilization of c-Myc, a transcription factor previously implicated in HSC self-renewal. On the other hand, neither Notch1 nor cyclin E are stabilized in the bone marrow of Fbw7 deficient mice. Genome-wide transcriptome studies of Fbw7-/- HSC and hematopoietic progenitors indicate that Fbw7 controls, through the regulation of HSC cell cycle entry, the global transcriptional signature that is associated with the quiescent, self-renewing HSC phenotype.

Description
We identified the ubiquitin ligase Huwe1 as a crucial regulator of hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) functions. We generated Huwe1 conditional knock-out mice and discovered that the loss of this ligase causes an increased proliferation and stem cell exhaustion, together with a decreased lymphoid specification in vivo. We observed that the ubiquitin ligase Huwe1 is controlling the expression of N-myc at the level of the most immature stem and progenitor hematopoietic populations, mediating the described effects. Overall design: High-troughput RNA-sequencing of sorted HSC (Lin-Sca+Kit+CD48-CD150+) from wild type or Huwe1 conditional knockout mice (constitutively deleted with Vav-Cre recombinase or inducibly deleted with Mx1-Cre)

Description
Although transcriptional programs associated with T-cell specification and commitment have been described, the functional hierarchy and the roles of key regulators in structuring/ orchestrating these programs remain unclear. Activation of Notch signaling in uncommitted precursors by the thymic stroma initiates the T-cell differentiation program. One regulator first induced in these precursors is the DNA binding protein Tcf-1, a T-cell specific mediator of Wnt signaling. Yet the specific contribution of Tcf-1 to early T-cell development and the signals inducing it in these cells remain unclear. Here we assign functional significance to Tcf-1 as a gatekeeper of T-cell fate. We show that Tcf-1 is directly activated by Notch signals. Tcf-1 is required at the earliest phase of Tcell determination for progression beyond the early thymic progenitor (ETP) stage. The global expression profile of Tcf-1 deficient progenitors indicates that basic processes of DNA metabolism are downregulated in its absence and the blocked T-cell progenitors become abortive and die by apoptosis. Our data thus add an important functional relationship to the roadmap of T-cell development.

Description
T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) is a malignancy of T cell progenitors that in most patients is associated with activating mutations in the NOTCH1 pathway. Recent reports have indicated a link between Ca2+ homeostasis in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), the regulation of NOTCH1 signaling and T-ALL. Here we investigated the role of store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE) in T-ALL. SOCE is a Ca2+ influx pathway that is mediated by the plasma membrane Ca2+ channel ORAI1 and its activators STIM1 and STIM2. Deletion of STIM1 and STIM2 in leukemic cells abolished SOCE and significantly prolonged the survival of mice in a NOTCH1-driven model of T-ALL. The survival advantage was unrelated to leukemia development and leukemic cell burden, but was associated with the SOCE-dependent ability of malignant T lymphoblasts to cause inflammation in leukemia-infiltrated organs. Mice with wildtype T-ALL showed a severe necroinflammatory response in their bone marrow, which was absent in mice with Stim1/2-/- leukemia. Several signaling pathways previously linked to cancer-induced inflammation were downregulated in Stim1/2-/- leukemic cells, likely accounting for less aggressive leukemia progression and prolonged survival of mice. Our study shows that T-ALL is associated with inflammation of leukemia-infiltrated organs and that SOCE controls the proinflammatory effects of leukemic T lymphoblasts. Overall design: Bone marrow leukemic cell were isolated from WT and Stim1/2-/- leukemic mice, 21 days after leukemia induction and their mRNA profiles were generated by deep sequencing, in triplicate.

Description
We report that in developing B cells individual enhancers of Igk make up super-enhancer cluster where contacts between its components rely on all constituents. Reduction of interaction frequency in enhancer knock-out cells is associated with deminished transcriptional output of enhancers and Igk locus. Moreover, we find that Igk enhancer MiEk has an effect on levels of CBFb enrichment on Tcrb enhancer, Eb afffecting Tcrb recombination and T cell development. Overall design: Examination of expression, chromatin accessibility, histone modifications and nuclear organization in developing wild-type and Igk and Tcrb enhancer deficient B and T lymphocytes.
