Description
Transcriptional dysregulation in Huntingtons disease (HD) is an early event that affects the expression of genes involved in survival and neuronal functions throughout the progression of the pathology. In the last years, extensive research has focused on epigenetic and chromatin-modifying factors as a causative explanation for such dysregulation, offering attractive targets for pharmacological therapies. In this work we examined the gene expression profiles in cortex, striatum, hippocampus and cerebellum of juvenile R6/1 and N171-82Q mice, two models of fast progressive HD, to retrieve the early transcriptional signatures associated with this pathology.These profiles showed significant coincidences with the transcriptional changes in the conditional knockout for the lysine acetyltransferase CBP in postmitotic forebrain neurons.

Description
We have developed a total RNA amplification and labeling strategy for use with Affymetrix GeneChips. Our protocol, which we denote BIIB, employs two rounds of linear T7 amplification followed by Klenow labeling to generate a biotinylated cDNA. In benchmarking studies using a titration of mouse universal total RNA, BIIB outperformed commercially available kits in terms of sensitivity, accuracy, and amplified target length, while providing equivalent results for technical reproducibility. BIIB maintained 50 and 44% present calls from 100 and 50 pg of total RNA, respectively. Inter- and intrasample precision studies indicated that BIIB produces an unbiased and complete expression profile within a range of 5 ng to 50 pg of starting total RNA. From a panel of spiked exogenous transcripts, we established the BIIB linear detection limit to be 20 absolute copies. Additionally, we demonstrate that BIIB is sensitive enough to detect the stochastic events inherent in a highly diluted sample. Using RNA isolated from whole tissues, we further validated BIIB accuracy and precision by comparison of 224 expression ratios generated by quantitative real-time PCR. The utility of our method is ultimately illustrated by the detection of biologically expected trends in a T cell/B cell titration of 100 primary cells flow sorted from a healthy mouse spleen.

Description
c-Fos, a member of the stress-activated Activator Protein 1 (AP-1) transcription factor family, is expressed in human hepatocellular cancer (HCC). Using genetically engineered mouse models (GEMMs) we show that hepatocyte-specific expression of c-Fos leads to a proliferative, de-differentiated phenotype, whereas hepatocyte-specific deletion of c-Fos protects against diethylnitrosamine (DEN)-induced liver cancer. Furthermore, c-Fos-expressing livers resemble human HCCs based on expression profiles. In the present RNA seq, we intend to analyze the transcriptomic profile of livers at 2 and 4 mo hepatocyte-specific c-Fos expression compared to the corresponding age-matched control mice. Moreover, we analyzed livers of mice with hepatocyte-specific deletion c-Fos at 48h after DEN treatment compared to identically treated control mice. Overall design: The general idea was to analyze the transcriptomic profile of hepatocyte-specific c-Fos over-expressing livers at 2 and 4 mo expression. Hereby, a hepatocyte-specific doxycycline (Dox)-switchable mouse model was (LAP-tTA; col1a1:Tet-O-fosFlag) was generated and c-Fos expression was induced at the age of 3 weeks by removal of doxycycline. Each sample LaptTA-fos-MUT represents an individual hepatocyte-specific c-fos expressing mouse at the indicated time-point and the corresponding identically treated control mouse LaptTA-fos-CO. Moreover, the transcriptomic profile of livers with hepatocyte-specific deletion of c-Fos at 48h after diethylnitrosamine (DEN)-induced liver cancer initiation was analyzed. For hepatocyte-specific knock-out of c-Fos, mice with conditional alleles of c-fos and the Alfp-Cre transgene were used. Control mice only carried the Alfp-Cre transgene. At the age of 8 weeks these mice were injected with 100mg/kg DEN. Each sample AlfpCre-fos-MUT_DEN represents an individual hepatocyte-specific c-fos knock-out mouse 48h after DEN and the identically treated control mouse AlfpCre-fos-CO-Cre+_DEN.

Description
The Endoplasmic Reticulum–Mitochondria Encounter Structure (ERMES) is a protein complex that tethers the two organelles and creates the physical basis for communication between them. ERMES functions in lipid and calcium exchange between the ER and mitochondria, mitochondrial protein import and maintenance of mitochondrial morphology and genome. Here we report that ERMES is also required for iron homeostasis. Loss of ERMES components activates an Aft1-dependent iron deficiency response even in iron-replete conditions, leading to accumulation of excess iron inside the cell. This function is independent of ERMES known roles in calcium regulation, phospholipid biosynthesis or mitochondrial biology. A mutation in the vacuolar protein sorting 13 (VPS13) gene that rescues the glycolytic phenotype of ERMES mutants suppresses the iron deficiency response and iron accumulation. Our study reveals that proper communication between the ER and mitochondria is required for appropriate maintenance of cellular iron levels. Overall design: various mutants

Description
The N-terminal tail of histone H2A shows evolutionary changes that parallel genome size and aid chromatin compaction. As genome size increases, so does the number of arginines. In contrast, serines corellate with small genomes. Examples for such changes are arginine in position 11 and serine in position 15.

Description
Whsc1 gene codes for a SET domain-containing H3K36 dimethylase, whose activity has been suggested, in ex vivo cell culture experiments, to control many aspects of DNA and RNA processing (replication, repair, transcription, etc). Its precise function in vivo is still unclear. Here, we use RNA-seq transcriptome analysis to study the changes in gene expression in the absence of Whsc1. Our results show that, in the experimental system used, loss of Whsc1 caused massive changes in genes affecting many fundamental cellular processes, from cell cycle to ribosome synthesis, DNA repair, replication, etc. Overall design: Whsc1-KO mice are embryonic lethal. We therefore took hematopoietic cells from fetal liver of WT and Whsc1-KO embryo littermates and injected them in to lethally irradiated RAG1-KO recipients and allowed the generation of a full Whsc1-KO hematopoietic system. Then, WT and Whsc1-KO B cells were obtained from the spleen and stimulated with LPS to induce proliferation and class switch recombination. Flow cytometry and cell cycle analyses (among others) showed the existence of serious proliferative alterations in Whsc1-KO cells. Then, we performed paired-end RNAseq analyses of 7 independent WT and 6 independent Whsc1-KO biological replicates and we used these data to identify differentially expressed genes and pathways regulated by Whsc1 in B cells.

Background: Schwannomas and grade I meningiomas are non-metastatic neoplasms that shares the common mutation of gene NF2. They usually appear in Neurofibromatosis type 2 patients. Currently, there is no drug treatment available for both tumors, so the use of wide expression technologies is crucial to find those therapeutic targets.
