Description
The histone 3 lysine 9 methyltransferase Setdb1 is essential for both stem cell pluripotency and terminal differentiation of different cell types. To shed light on Setdb1 roles in these mutually exclusive processes, we used mouse skeletal myoblasts as a model of terminal differentiation. Ex vivo studies on isolated single myofibres showed that Setdb1 is required for muscle adult stem cells expansion following activation. In vitro studies in skeletal myoblasts confirmed that Setdb1 suppresses terminal myoblast differentiation. Genomic binding analyses showed a release of Setdb1 from the promoter of selected target genes upon myoblast terminal differentiation, concomitant to a nuclear export of Setdb1 to the cytoplasm. Both genomic release and cytoplasmic Setdb1 relocalisation during differentiation were dependent on canonical Wnt signalling. Together, our findings revealed Wnt-dependent subcellular relocalisation of Setdb1 as a novel mechanism regulating Setdb1 functions and adult myogenesis. Overall design: RNA-seq of knockdown of Setdb1 in myoblast cells (C2C12).

Description
G9a/GLP and Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2) are two major epigenetic silencing machineries, which in particular methylate histone H3 on lysines 9 and 27 (H3K9 and H3K27), respectively. Although evidence of a crosstalk between H3K9 and H3K27 methylations has started to emerge, their actual interplay remains elusive. Here, we show that PRC2 and G9a/GLP interact physically and functionally. Moreover, combining different genome-wide approaches, we demonstrate that Ezh2 and G9a/GLP share an important number of common genomic targets, encoding developmental and neuronal regulators. Furthermore, we show that G9a enzymatic activity modulates PRC2 genomic recruitment to a subset of its target genes. Taken together, our findings demonstrate an unanticipated interplay between two main histone lysine methylation mechanisms, which cooperate to maintain silencing of a subset of developmental genes.

Description
The bovine chromaffin cell (BCC) is a unique modela highly homogeneous and accessible neuroendocrine cellin which to study gene regulation through first messenger-initiated signaling pathways that are specific to post-mitotic cells. BCCs were treated with tumor necrosis factor (TNF) or pituitary adenylate cyclase activating polypeptide (PACAP), two critical regulators of neural cell transcriptional programming during inflammation that act on TNFR2 and PAC1 receptors, respectively, in post-mitotic neuroendocrine cells. Transcripts which were significantly up regulated by either or both first messenger were identified from microarray analysis using two bovine oligonucleotide arrays (Affymetrix and Agilent) followed by statistical analysis with Partek Genomic suite. Microarray data were combined from the two arrays using qRT-PCR sampling validation, and the first-messenger transcriptome derived from TNF and PACAP signaling were compared. More than 90 percent of the genes up regulated either by TNF or PACAP were specific to a single first messenger. BioBase suite, DIRE and Opossum were used to identify common promoter/enhancer response elements that control the expression of TNF- or PACAP-stimulated genes. Bioinformatic analysis revealed that distinct groups of transcription factors control the expression of genes up regulated by either TNF or PACAP . Most of the genes up regulated by TNF contained response elements for members of the Rel transcription factor family, suggesting TNF-TNFR2 signaling mainly through the NF-kB signaling pathway. On the other hand, the PACAP regulated genes showed no enrichment for any single response element, containing instead response elements for combinations of transcription factors allowing activation through multiple signaling pathways, including cAMP, calcium and ERK, in neuroendocrine cells. Pharmacological strategies for mimicking neuroprotection by either PACAP or TNF in the context of CNS injury or degeneration in disease might focus on individual downstream gene activation pathways to achieve greater specificity in vivo.

Description
Neuroblastomas are tumors of the developing peripheral sympathetic nervous system, which originates from the neural crest. Twenty percent of neuroblastomas show amplification of the MYCN oncogene, which correlates with poor prognosis. The MYCN transcription factor can activate and repress gene expression. To broaden our insight in the spectrum of genes down-regulated by MYCN, we generated gene expression profiles of the neuroblastoma cell lines SHEP-21N and SKNAS-NmycER, in which MYCN activity can be regulated. In this study, we show that MYCN suppresses the expression of Dickkopf-1 (DKK1) in both cell lines. DKK1 is a potent inhibitor of the wnt/beta-catenin signalling cascade, which is known to function in neural crest cell migration. We generated a DKK1 inducible cell line, IMR32-DKK1, which showed impaired proliferation upon DKK1 expression. Surprisingly, DKK1 expression did not inhibit the canonical wnt/beta-catenin signalling, suggesting a role of DKK1 in an alternative route of the wnt pathway. Gene expression profiling of two IMR32-DKK1 clones showed that only a few genes, amongst which SYNPO2, were up-regulated by DKK1. SYNPO2 encodes an actin-binding protein and was previously found to inhibit proliferation and invasiveness of prostate cancer cells. These results suggest that MYCN might stimulate cell proliferation by inhibiting the expression of DKK1. DKK1 might exert part of its growth suppressive effect by induction of SYNPO2 expression.

Description
Th1 and Th2 cells arise from a common precursor cell in response to triggering through the TCR and cytokine receptors for IL-12 or IL-4. This leads to activation of complex signaling pathways, which are not known in detail. Disturbances in the balance between type 1 and type 2 responses can lead to certain immune-mediated diseases. Thus, it is important to understand how Th1 and Th2 cells are generated. To clarify the mechanisms as to how IL-12 and IL-4 induce Th1 and Th2 differentiation and how TGF-beta can inhibit this process, we have used oligonucleotide arrays to examine the early polarization of Th1 and Th2 cells in the presence and absence of TGF-beta after 0, 2, 6 and 48 hours of polarization.
