Description
We analyzed gene expression in CD4+ cells sorted from naïve or D30 Mycobacterium tuberculosis-infected mice and incubated in vitro in the presence or absence of Schistosoma egg antigen. We found genes associated with Th1 function, T cell signaling, T cell costimulation and T cell activation were downregulated in SEA-treated cells, while expression of Th2 cytokines was below the threshold for detection. Overall design: RNAseq results for 3 replicates for naïve or CD4+ T cells from M.tuberculosis-infected mice treated with or without Schistosoma egg antigen in vitro.

Description
Poised enhancers marked by H3K27me3 in pluripotent cells were previously proposed to facilitate the establishment of somatic expression programs upon embryonic stem cell (ESC) differentiation. However, the functional relevance and mechanism of action of poised enhancers remain unknown. Here, we use genetic deletions to demonstrate that poised enhancers are necessary for the induction of major anterior neural regulators. Mechanistically, poised enhancers enable RNA Polymerase II recruitment to their cognate promoters upon differentiation. Interestingly, poised enhancers already establish physical interactions with their target genes in ESC in a Polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2) dependent manner. Loss of PRC2 led to neither the activation of poised enhancers nor the induction of their putative target genes in undifferentiated ESC. In contrast, loss of PRC2 severely and specifically compromised the induction of major anterior neural genes representing poised enhancer targets. Overall, our work illuminates a novel function for polycomb proteins, which we propose facilitate neural induction by providing major anterior neural loci with a permissive regulatory topology. Overall design: mRNA profiles were generated by RNA-seq from mESC and AntNPC for the following lines: WT mESC, WT AntNPC, EED-/- mESC and EED-/- AntNPC

Description
Although Human papillomavirus infection is the main causal factor for cervical cancer (CC), there is data suggesting genetic factors could modulate the risk and progression of CC. Sibling studies suggest that maternally inherited factors could be involved in CC. To assess whether mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) polymorphisms are associated to cervical cancer, HPV infection and HPV types, a case-control study was performed in the Mexican mestizo population. The polymorphism of mtDNA D-Loop was investigated in 187 cervical cancer patients and 270 healthy controls. D-loop was amplified from a blood DNA sample and analyzed by sequencing. HPV was detected and typed in cervical scrapes from both groups. mtDNA polymorphisms were compared in the whole samples and stratified by HPV types. The expression of 29 mitochondrial genes was analyzed in a subset of 45 tumor biopsies using the expression microarray ST1.0. The Amerindian haplogroup B2 increased the risk for CC (OR=1.6, 95% CI: 1.05-2.58) and showed an additive effect of 36% over the risk conferred by the HPV (OR=153, 95% CI: 65.4-357.5). The frequency of HPV 16, 18, 31 and 45 in cancer samples was similar in all haplogroups but one (D1). It showed a very low frequency of HPV16, any HPV18 and high frequency of HPVs 31, 45 and other types. Two mtDNA genes (MT-TD, MTTK) could be involved in the increased risk conferred by the haplogroup B2, since they were up-regulated exclusively in B2 tumors (p<0.05, t-test). These findings will contribute to clarify the importance of genetic factors in CC.

Description
Gene expression in eukaryotes is an essential process that includes transcription, pre-RNA processing and RNA export. All these steps are coupled and normally, any failure in one step affects the other steps and could cause nuclear mRNA retention. One important player in this interface is the poly(A)-RNA binding protein Nab2, which regulates the poly(A)-tail length of mRNAs protecting their 3-ends from a second round of polyadenylation and facilitating their nucleo-cytoplasmic export. Interestingly, here we show that Nab2 has additional roles in mRNA transcription elongation, tRNA metabolism and rRNA export.
Publication Title
Nab2 functions in the metabolism of RNA driven by polymerases II and III.
