Introduction: The kidney is the major arbiter of extracellular phosphate homeostasis. The vast majority of glomerular filtrated phosphate is reabsorbed in the proximal tubule. Posttransplant phosphaturia is common and aggravated by sirolimus immunosuppression. The cause of sirolimus induced phosphaturia however remains elusive.
Sirolimus induced phosphaturia is not caused by inhibition of renal apical sodium phosphate cotransporters.

View SamplesMutant p53 proteins, resulting from the missense mutations of the TP53 tumor suppressor gene, possess gain-of-function activities and are among the most robust oncoproteins in human tumors. They are potentially important therapeutic targets. No studies to date have distinguished common, therapeutically relevant mutant p53 gain-of-function effects from effects specific to different mutant variants and cell backgrounds. here we performed RNA-seq analysisin MDA-MB-231 (R280K) upon silencing TP53 or the control siRNA. Overall design: MDA-MB-231 (R280K) cell line was transfected with control or p53 siRNA.So The study comprises one experimental cell line,in triplicate.
Proteasome machinery is instrumental in a common gain-of-function program of the p53 missense mutants in cancer.

View SamplesThe tumor suppressor p53 is a transcription factor that coordinates the cellular response to DNA damage. Here we provide an integrated analysis of p53 genomic occupancy and p53-dependent gene regulation in the splenic B and non-B cell compartments of mice exposed to whole-body ionizing radiation, providing insight into general principles of p53 activity in vivo. In unstressed conditions, p53 bound few genomic targets; induction of p53 by ionizing radiation increased the number of p53 bound sites, leading to highly overlapping profiles in the different cell types. Comparison of these profiles with chromatin features in unstressed B cells revealed that, upon activation, p53 localized at active promoters, distal enhancers, and a smaller set of unmarked distal regions. At promoters, recognition of the canonical p53 motif as well as binding strength were associated with p53-dependent transcriptional activation, but not repression, indicating that the latter was most likely indirect. p53-activated targets constituted the core of a cell type-independent response, superimposed onto a cell type-specific program. Core response genes included most of the known p53-regulated genes, as well as many new ones. Our data represent a unique characterization of the p53-regulated response to ionizing radiation in vivo.

View SamplesThe fusion oncoprotein EWS-FLI1 arises from a t(11;22)(q24;q12) chromosomal translocation and causes Ewing's Sarcoma, a malignant bone tumor. The mechanism whereby EWS-FLI1 transforms cells is unknown. Somatic, mosaic expression of human EWS-FLI1 in zebrafish from the heat shock promoter [Tg(HSP:EWS-FLI1)] caused small round blue cell tumors (SRBCTs) similar to human Ewing's sarcoma.

View SamplesThe tumor suppressor p53 is a transcription factor that controls the response to stress. Here, we dissected the transcriptional programs triggered upon restoration of p53 in Myc-driven lymphomas, based on the integrated analysis of p53 genomic occupancy and gene regulation. p53 binding sites were identified at promoters and enhancers, both characterized by the pre-existence of active chromatin marks. p53 recruitment at these sites was mainly mediated through protein-protein or protein-chromatin interactions and, only for a small fraction, through recognition of the 20 base-pair p53 consensus motif. At promoters, p53 binding to the consensus motif was associated with gene induction, but not repression, indicating that the latter was most likely indirect. p53 also targeted unmarked distal sites devoid of activation marks, at which binding was prevalently driven by recognition of the consensus motif. At all sites, our data highlighted a functional role for the canonical, unsplit consensus element, but did not provide evidence for p53 recruitment by split motifs. Altogether, our data highlight key features of genome recognition by p53 and provide unprecedented insight into the pathways associated with p53 re-activation and tumor regression.

View SamplesThe M1 and the M2 macrophage polarization programs (activated by IFN? and IL-4, respectively) lie at the opposite edges of a continuum of activation states but are frequently co-activated during co-infections and in cancer despite controlling divergent functional responses. Whether these two programs are mutually exclusive, how they influence each other, and whether one represents the prevailing response, are all open questions. Co-administration of IFN? and IL-4 exerted complex inhibitory effects over the M1 and M2 programs at the level of both epigenomic and transcriptional changes. Computational data mining and validation analyses revealed the molecular basis of the differential sensitivity of genes and cis-regulatory elements to the antagonistic effects of the opposite stimulus. For instance, while STAT1 and IRF motifs were associated with robust and IL-4-resistant responses to IFN?, their coexistence with binding sites for some auxiliary transcription factors such as AP-1, generated vulnerability to IL-4-mediated inhibition. These data provide a core mechanistic framework for the integration of signals that control macrophage activation and the starting point for understanding macrophage responses in complex environmental conditions Overall design: Analysis of transcriptional and epigenomic changes in mouse macrophages stimulated with different cytokines or their combinations

View SamplesOver-expression of the Myc transcription factor causes its widespread interaction with regulatory domains in the genome, but leads to the up- and down-regulation of discrete sets of genes. The molecular determinants of these selective transcriptional responses remain elusive. Here, we present an integrated time-course analysis of transcription and mRNA dynamics following Myc activation in proliferating mouse fibroblasts, based on chromatin immunoprecipitation, metabolic labeling of newly synthesized RNA, extensive sequencing and mathematical modeling. Transcriptional activation correlated with the highest increases in Myc binding at promoters. Repression followed a reciprocal scenario, with the lowest gains in Myc binding. Altogether, the relative abundance (henceforth, “share”) of Myc at promoters was the strongest predictor of transcriptional responses in diverse cell types, predominating over Myc's association with the co-repressor Miz1. Myc activation elicited immediate loading of RNAPII at activated promoters, followed by increases in pause-release5, while repressed promoters showed opposite effects. Gains and losses in RNAPII loading were proportional to the changes in the Myc share, suggesting that repression by Myc may be largely indirect, owing - at least in part - to competition for limiting amounts of RNAPII. Secondary to the changes in RNAPII loading, the dynamics of elongation and pre-mRNA processing were also rapidly altered at Myc regulated genes, leading to the transient accumulation of partially or aberrantly processed mRNAs. Altogether, our results shed light on how over-expressed Myc alters the various phases of the RNAPII cycle and the resulting transcriptional response.
