Description
Retinal development requires precise temporal and spatial coordination of cell cycle exit, cell-fate specification, cell migration and differentiation. When this process is disrupted, retinoblastoma, a developmental tumor of the retina, can form. Epigenetic modulators are central to precisely coordinating developmental events, and many epigenetic processes have been implicated in cancer. Studying epigenetic mechanisms in development is challenging because they often regulate multiple cellular processes; therefore, elucidating the primary molecular mechanisms involved can be difficult. Here we explore the role of Brg1 in retinal development and retinoblastoma by using molecular and cellular approaches. Brg1 regulated retinal size by controlling cell cycle length, cell cycle exit, and cell survival during development. Brg1 was not required for cell-fate specification but was required for photoreceptor differentiation and cell adhesion/polarity programs that contribute to proper retinal lamination during development. The combination of defective cell differentiation and lamination led to retinal degeneration in Brg1-deficient retinae. Despite the hypocellularity, premature cell cycle exit, increased cell death, and extended cell cycle length, retinal progenitor cells persisted in Brg1-deficient retinae, thereby making them more susceptible to retinoblastoma. ChIP-seq analysis provided insight into the underlying molecular mechanisms of these complex Brg1-regulated cellular processes during retinal development.
Publication Title

Background: Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNST) are soft-tissue sarcomas that can arise either sporadically or in association with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1). These aggressive malignancies confer poor survival, with no effective therapy available.

Description
PKCe, an oncogenic member of the PKC family, is aberrantly overexpressed in epithelial cancers. To date, little is known about functional interactions of PKCe with other genetic alterations and the effectors of this kinase that contribute to its tumorigenic and metastatic phenotype. Here we demonstrate that PKCe cooperates with the loss of the tumor suppressor Pten for the development of prostate cancer in a mouse model. Mechanistic analysis revealed that PKCe overexpression and Pten loss individually and synergically cause a remarkable up-regulation in the production of the chemokine CXCL13. Notably, targeted disruption of CXCL13 or its receptor CXCR5 in prostate cancer cells impaired their migratory and tumorigenic properties. In addition to providing evidence for an autonomous vicious cycle driven by PKCe, our studies identified a compelling rationale for targeting the CXCL13:CXCR5 axis for prostate cancer treatment.

Description
The WWOX gene has been implicated in human cancers, including breast cancer.The development and tumorigenesis between human and mouse mammary glands (MGs) share similar molecular details and signal transduction pathways. We established mouse line that specifically knockout the expression of WWOX gene in the MG epithelial cells (MECs) by crossing BK5-cre mice with our WWOX flox stain. In order to study the gene expression profile in the subpopulation MECs, we isolated the organoids from the 4th MGs of both BK5-cre +; WWOX flox/flox (KO) mice and their WT counterparts (BK5-cre -; WWOX flox/flox), 3 mice each genotype. The total RNA from the mouse MG organoids was extracted and purified by TRIzol/RNeasy Kit and their integrity was checked on Agilent RNA 6000 Nanochip.

Description
Liver gene expression was examined in male cynomolgus monkeys treated with ciprofibrate (PPAR-alpha agonist) for 4 days at 400 mg/kg/day and treated for 15 days at 0, 3, 30, 150 or 400 mg/kg/day. The untreated control group were given only the vehicle (0.5% hydroxypropyl methylcellulose). Two animals per group were used for the 4 day treatment and four animals per group were used for the 15 day treatment (except the 15 day control group, which had three animals). Selection of significantly changed probesets was done using Rosetta Resolver and the fold-change and p values as determined by Resolver are given below. Affymetrix CEL files and MAS5-processed data have been made availabe for convenience. Note that data processing reported in the Toxicological Sciences manuscript was done using Rosetta Resolver and the treated versus control group fold-change and p-value are appended to the Series entry. An article has been published in Toxicological Sciences regarding this dataset; the data interpretation was based on the Rosetta Resolver data.

Description
Molecular targeted compounds are emerging as important component to improve the efficacy of classical chemotherapeutics. In this study, we tested whether using low dose sorafenib to reduce off target inhibitions of kinases impacts the antitumor effect of alkylating agents in breast cancer models. Overall design: MDA-MB231 cells were treated with 1 µM sorafenib, 40 µg/mL MMS, or pre-incubated with 1 µM sorafenib for 12 h followed by 40 µg/mL MMS, each in two independent experiments. RNA was harvested 8 and 24 h, or post MMS treatment for combination treatment.
Publication Title
Sorafenib improves alkylating therapy by blocking induced inflammation, invasion and angiogenesis in breast cancer cells.

Description
Sustained Akt activation induces cardiac hypertrophy (LVH), which may lead to heart failure. This study tested the hypothesis that Akt activation contributes to mitochondrial dysfunction in pathological LVH. Akt activation induced LVH and progressive repression of mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation (FAO) pathways. Preventing LVH by inhibiting mTOR failed to prevent the decline in mitochondrial function but glucose utilization was maintained. Akt activation represses expression of mitochondrial regulatory, FAO, and oxidative phosphorylation genes in vivo that correlate with the duration of Akt activation in part by reducing FOXO-mediated transcriptional activation of mitochondrial-targeted nuclear genes in concert with reduced signaling via PPAR/PGC-1 and other transcriptional regulators. In cultured myocytes Akt activation disrupted mitochondrial bioenergetics, which could be partially reversed by maintaining nuclear FOXO, but not by increasing PGC-1. Thus, although short-term Akt activation may be cardioprotective during ischemia by reducing mitochondrial metabolism and increasing glycolysis, long-term Akt activation in the adult heart contributes to pathological LVH in part by reducing mitochondrial oxidative capacity.

Enhanced cardiac Akt/protein kinase B signaling contributes to pathological cardiac hypertrophy in part by impairing mitochondrial function via transcriptional repression of mitochondrion-targeted nuclear genes.
