Description
Using high-resolution genomic microarray analysis, a distinct genomic profile was defined in 114 samples from patients with splenic marginal zone lymphoma (SMZL). Notably, deletion or uniparental disomy of chromosome 7q were detected in 39% of SMZLs but in only 9 of 170 (5%) mature B-cell lymphomas (p<10-6). The presence of unmutated IgVH genes, genomic complexity, 17p13-P53 deletion and 8q gain including MYC gene, but not 7q deletion, were correlated with shorter overall survival. Extensive mapping analyses narrowed down the commonly deleted region to 2.7 Mb. in 7q32.1-q32.2 from SND1 to COPG2 genes. High-throughput sequencing analysis of the 7q32 deleted segment in SMZL cells did not identify bi-allelic deletions, insertions or clear pathogenic mutations, but detected six single nucleotide changes in IRF5 (n=2), TMEM209 (n=2), CALU (n=1) and ZC3HC1 (n=1). Comparative expression analysis found that IRF5, TMEM209 and CALU genes had down-regulated expression in lymphomas with 7q32 deletion vs. non-deleted tumors. Ectopic expression of IRF5 in marginal-zone lymphoma cells decreased cell proliferation and induced apoptosis. These results indicate that small deletions, insertions and/or point mutations inactivating genes within 7q32 are not common events in SMZL. Further studies are required to evaluate the putative role of IRF5 in SMZL pathogenesis.

Description
Chromatin modifying activities for construction of appropriate epigenetic landscapes by polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2) play an essential role in development and tumorigenesis. However, the spatiotemporal mechanisms by which PRC2 achieves diverse epigenomes for specific tissue or cellular contexts remain poorly understood. Here, we discovered that LATS2 knockout causes dysregulation of PRC2 and subsequent transcriptome changes for differentiation in both mouse and human cells. LATS2 depletion dependent dysregulation of PRC2 also effects H3K4me3 and forms negative feedback loop for maintenance of PRC2. Further analyses reveal that LATS2 on chromatin binds to EZH2 and LATS2 has ability to phosphorylate PRC2 in vitro. These LATS2 dependent H3K27me3 targets are highly induced during neurogenesis, and statistical analysis of glioblastoma multiforme reveals that LATS2-high cases show more dedifferentiated transcriptome and poor prognosis with silencing of H3K27me3 targets. These observations suggest that LATS2-mediated epigenome coordination is pivotal for development and disease, including cancer. Overall design: mRNA of LATS2 KO HeLa-S3 cells rescued by empty vector, wild-type LATS2 or kinase-dead LATS2 were subjected to deep sequencing profiling using Illumina HiSeq 2500

Description
To investigate the expression characteristic of miRNAs during the development of Down syndrome (DS) fetuses and to identify whether another miRNA gene resides in the Hsa21, we employed high-throughput Solexa sequencing technology to comprehensively characterize the miRNA expression profiles of both DS and normal fetal cord blood mononuclear cells (CBMCs). In total, 200 of 395 identified miRNAs were significantly differentially expressed (fold change > 2.0 and P-value < 0.001) and 2 of 181 candidate novel miRNAs were identified as residing within the "Down syndrome critical region" of human chromosome 21 (chr21q22.2-22.3). Additionally, 7 of 14 Hsa21-derived miRNAs genes were detected that three miRNAs (hsa-miR-802, miR-3648, miR-3687) were up-regulated more than 50% and four miRNAs (hsa-miR-99a, let-7c, miR-125b-2, miR-155) were down-regulated in the DS fetal CBMCs compared with the control. Bioinformatics analyses revealed that abnormally expressed miRNAs were major associated with the regulation of transcription, gene expression, cellular biosynthetic process, macromolecule biosynthetic process and nucleic acid metabolic process. The data obtained in our study provides a considerable insight into understanding the expression characteristic of miRNAs in the DS fetal hemopoietic system and the differentially expressed miRNAs may be involved in the hemopoietic abnormalities and the immune defects of DS fetus and newborns. Overall design: A total of 6 DS and 6 matched control fetal cord blood samples (18-22 weeks of gestation) were collected. Three DS and 3 control cord blood samples were combined to form pooled DS and control cord blood samples, respectively, for small RNA library construction and Solexa sequencing. The remaining samples were used as the validation set to confirm the miRNA differential expression patterns by qRT-PCR.

Description
Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease related to immune, whose complexity of molecular mechanisms is still not fully clear. RNA sequencing has been widely applied in various fields including biological medicine. According to the bioinformatics analysis of differential genes, biomarkers and drug targets have been discovered for the diagnosis and treatment of diseases. Besides, the pathological mechanisms of disease and functions of gene can be evaluated. In the present study, we report the application of RNA sequencing in skin tissues from psoriatic and healthy persons. By obtaining 2139 differential expressed genes (DEGs), 208 significantly differential GO terms and 44 significantly differential pathways were generated. We found that the functions of DEGs were mainly related to cell cycle, inflammatory, virus, immune response and metabolic process.The major pathways included cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction, Toll-like receptor signaling pathway, chemokine signaling pathway, cell cycle, metabolic pathways, ribosome, peroxisome, steroid biosynthesis and biosynthesis of unsaturated fatty acids. Furthermore, co-expression network was constructed to identify core genes and relations between genes. we considered genes with high values of degree and k-core difference in the co-expression network as core genes, such as IFNG, IL26, TLR3, PRKCQ, TLR4, CD274, CDK1 and IL17A. We chose CD274, an important immune checkpoint, to evaluate its regulatory mechanisms. Candidate genes related to CD274 were evaluated by the co-expression network analysis, and the relations between CD274 and candidate genes were validated in epidermal keratinocytes. Finally, IFNG and CDK1 inhibitor (indirubin) were found increasing the expression levels of CD274. In addition, indirubin was confirmed to attenuate mouse psoriasis-like skin lesion with the mechanisms related to CD274. In conclusion, this study provides us a comprehensive transcriptome analysis method on psoriasis to identify core genes and explore the important regulatory functions of genes. Overall design: Nine normal skins from healthy volunteers and 18 lesional skins from patients with psoriasis vulgaris were obtained for RNA sequencing

Description
Trypanosoma cruzi is an obligate intracellular protozoan parasite that causes human Chagas disease, a leading cause of heart failure in Latin America. Using Affymetrix oligonucleotide arrays we screened phenotypically diverse human cells (foreskin fibroblasts, microvascular endothelial cells and vascular smooth muscle cells) for a common transcriptional response signature to T. cruzi. A common feature was a prominent type I interferon response, indicative of a secondary response to secreted cytokines. Using transwell plates to distinguish cytokine-dependent and -independent gene expression profiles in T. cruzi-infected cells, a core cytokine-independent response was identified in fibroblasts and endothelial cells that featured metabolic and signaling pathways involved in cell proliferation, amino acid catabolism and response to wounding. Significant downregulation of genes involved in mitotic cell cycle and cell division predicted that T. cruzi infection impedes cell cycle progression in the host cell.

Description
Docetaxel is an adjuvant chemotherapy drug widely used to treat multiple solid tumors, however its toxicity and side-effect limits its clinical efficacy. Herein, the docetaxel-loaded solid lipid nanoparticles (DSNs) were developed to reduce systemic toxicity while still keeping its anti-cancer activity. To evaluate its anti-cancer activity and toxicity and understand the molecular mechanisms of DSNs, different cellular, molecular and whole genome transcription analysis approaches were utilized. The DSNs showed lower cytotoxicity compared with the commercial formulation of docetaxel-Taxotere and induced more apoptosis at 24 h treatment in vitro. It can cause the treated cancer cells arrested at G2/M phase in a dose-depend manner as Taxotere. The DSNs can also suppress tumor growth very effectively in a murine breast cancer model. Systemic analysis of gene expression profiles by microarray and the following verification experiments suggested that both DSNs and Taxotere regulate expression of series genes and these genes functions involved in DNA replication, DNA damage response, cell proliferation, apoptosis and cell cycle regulation. Some of these genes expressed differentially at protein level although their transcription level was similar under TAX and DSNs treatment. Moreover, DSNs improved main side-effect of Taxotere by greatly lowering myelosuppression toxicity to bone marrow cells from mice. Taken together, our results expound the anti-tumor efficacy and the potential working mechanisms of DSNs in its anti-cancer activity and toxicity, which provide a theoretical foundation to develop and apply more efficient docetaxel formulation to treat cancer patients.
