Description
We used microarray to compare global gene expression profiles between 5 GNAQ/11 mutant uveal melanoma cell lines (GNAQ mutant: 92-1, omm1.3, mel270; GNA11 mutant: omm-gn11 and upmd-1) and 5 GNAQ/11 wild type melanoma cell lines(sk-mel-2, mm415, mm485, sk-mel-5 and mum2c). Uveal melanoma is the most common intraocular tumor that mainly metastasizes to the liver in about 50% patients. Over 80% of UMs harbor GNAQ or GNA11 activating mutation. Currently there is no effective treatment available for UM patients. Results provide insights into downstream signaling of oncogenic GNAQ/11 and identification of therapeutic targets in UM.

Description
Published molecular profiling studies in patients with lymphoma suggested the influence of hypoxia inducible factor-1 alpha (HIF1) targets in prognosis of DLBCL. Yet, the role of hypoxia in hematological malignancies remains unclear. We observed that activation of HIF1 resulted in global translation repression during hypoxic stress in DLBCL. Protein translation efficiency as measured using 35S-labeled methionine incorporation revealed a 50% reduction in translation upon activation of HIF1. Importantly, translation was not completely inhibited and expression of clinically correlated hypoxia targets such as GLUT1, HK2, and CYT-C was found to be refractory to translational repression under hypoxia in DLBCL cells. Notably, hypoxic induction of these genes was not observed in normal primary B-cells. Translational repression was coupled with a decrease in mitochondrial function. Screening of primary DLBCL patient samples revealed that expression of HK2, which encodes for the enzyme hexokinase 2, was significantly correlated with DLBCL phenotype. Genetic knockdown studies demonstrated that HK2 is required for promoting growth of DLBCL under hypoxic stress. Altogether, our findings provide strong support for the direct contribution of HK2 in B-cell lymphoma development and suggest that HK2 is a key metabolic driver of the DLBCL phenotype.ne incorporation revealed a 50% reduction in translation upon activation of HIF1.

Affymetrix Human Gene 1.0 ST Array (hugene10st)
Description
To discover new essential regulatory pathways in B lymphoma cells a combined analysis of experimental and clinical high throughput data was performed. Among others, a specific cluster of coherently expressed genes named BCR.1 was identified in primary lymphoma samples. These coherently expressed genes are suppressed by -IgM treatment of lymphoma cells in vitro. This B cell receptor activation leads to a G2 phase prolongation, delayed entry into the M phase, an overall diminished capacity of the cells to enter into mitosis and defects in metaphases. Cytogenetic changes are detected under long term -IgM treatment. Furthermore, an inverse correlation of BCR.1 genes with c-Myc coregulated genes in distinct groups of lymphoma patients is observed. In addition to the impact of c-Myc in the regulation of cell cycle regulators, BCR.1 genes are regulated by a combined action of IKK2, MAPK14 and JNK. Finally, the BCR.1 index discriminates activated B cell like and germinal centre B cell like diffuse large B cell lymphoma. Therefore, a new regulatory circuit is described affecting cell cycle and chromosome instability in B cells.

Description
NAD(P)H:quinone Oxidoreductase (NQO1) is essential for cell defense against reactive oxidative species, cancer, and metabolic stress. Recently, NQO1 was found in ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complexes, but NQO1-interacting mRNAs and the functional impact of such interactions are not known. Here, we used ribonucleoprotein immunoprecipitation (RIP) and microarray analysis to identify comprehensively the subset of NQO1 target mRNAs in human hepatoma HepG2 cells. One of its main targets, SERPINA1 mRNA, encodes the serine protease inhibitor -1-antitrypsin, A1AT, which is associated with disorders including obesity-related metabolic inflammation, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Biotin pulldown analysis indicated that NQO1 can bind the 3 untranslated region (UTR) and the coding region (CR) of SERPINA1 mRNA. NQO1 did not affect SERPINA1 mRNA levels; instead, it enhanced the translation of SERPINA1 mRNA, as NQO1 silencing decreased the size of polysomes forming on SERPINA1 mRNA and lowered the abundance of A1AT. Luciferase reporter analysis further indicated that NQO1 regulates SERPINA1 mRNA translation through the SERPINA1 3UTR. Accordingly, NQO1-KO mice had reduced hepatic and serum levels of A1AT and increased activity of neutrophil elastase, one of the main targets of A1AT. We propose that this novel mechanism of action of NQO1 as RNA-binding protein may help to explain its pleiotropic biological effects.

Description
We have previously shown that Il1a-knockout (KO) mice exhibit rapid (at day 1) and persistent improvements in locomotion associated with reduced lesion volume compared with Il1b-KO mice and C57BL/6 controls after traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI). To investigate the mechanism by which Il1a mediates its detrimental effect, we analyzed the transcriptome of the injured spinal cord of Il1a-KO, Il1b-KO and C57BL/6 mice at 24 hours after SCI using GeneChip microarrays.

Description
To determine whether an accelerated aging-like phenotype occurs in hematopoiesis of young Tif1?-/- mice (4 months old), we purified 200,000 hematopoietic stem cells (LSK: Lineage negative, Sca1+, c-Kit+) from Tif1?-/- mice and performed high-throughput mRNA sequencing (RNA-seq). We compared this transcriptome to physiological aging by creating two other RNAseq libraries from young (4 months old) and old (20 months old) wild type mice. Overall design: RNAseq study on young Tif1?-/- mice (4 months old), young wild type mice (4 months old) and old wild type mice (20 months old).

Description
Tumor necrosis factor-associated factors 2 and 3 (TRAF2 and TRAF3) were shown to function in a co-operative and non-redundant manner to suppress nuclear factor-B2 (NF-B2) activation, gene expression and survival in mature B cells. In the absence of this suppressive activity, B cells developed independently of the obligatory B cell survival factor, BAFF (B cell activating factor of the tumor necrosis factor family). This constitutive, lineage-specific suppression of B cell survival by TRAF2 and TRAF3 determines the requirement for BAFF to sustain B cell development in vivo. We wished to investigate the effect on gene expression in B cells which lacked the negative regulators TRAF2 and TRAF3, and hence had hyperactive NF-kB2 signalling. As Baff-tg mice display a similar phenotype, and have a genetic modification which acts in the same pathway, yet further up, than TRAF2 and TRAF3, we wished to compare and contrast Baff-tg B cells with TRAF2 and TRAF3 deficient B cells. This analysis should identify genes that are important in B cell survival.
Publication Title
TRAF2 and TRAF3 signal adapters act cooperatively to control the maturation and survival signals delivered to B cells by the BAFF receptor.
