Description
Insults to cellular health cause p53 protein accumulation and loss of p53 function leads to tumorigenesis. Thus, p53 has to be tightly controlled. Here we report that the BTB/POZ domain transcription factor PATZ1 (MAZR), previously known for its transcriptional suppressor functions in T lymphocytes, is a crucial regulator of p53. The novel inhibitory role of PATZ1 on the p53 protein marks it as a proto-oncogene. PATZ1 deficient cells have reduced proliferative capacity which we assess by RNASeq and real time cell growth rate analysis. PATZ1 modifies the expression of p53 target genes associated with cell proliferation gene ontology terms. Moreover, PATZ1 regulates several genes involved in cellular adhesion and morphogenesis. Significantly, treatment with the DNA damage inducing drug doxorubicin results in the loss of the PATZ1 transcription factor, as p53 accumulates. We find that PATZ1 binds to p53 and inhibits p53 dependent transcription activation. We examine the mechanism of this functional inhibitory interaction and demonstrate that PATZ1 excludes p53 from DNA binding. This study documents PATZ1 as a novel player in the p53 pathway. Overall design: RNA-seq was used to define differentially expressed genes in wild-type and PATZ1-/- MEFs. Each sample was represented in triplicate.

Description
BACKGROUND: The vast majority of thoracic aortic aneurysms (TAAs) are observed either together with a bicuspid aortic valve (BAV), a common congenital disorder, or in idiopathic cases such as patients with a normal tricuspid aortic valve (TAV). The main objective of our study was to identify shared and unique gene expression properties underlying the aortic dilation of BAV and TAV patients.

Description
In this study gene expression profiles for 307 cases of advanced bladder cancers were compared to molecular phenotype at the tumor cell level. TUR-B tissue for RNA extraction was macrodissected from the close vicinity of the tissue sampled for immunohistochemistry to ensure high-quality sampling and to minimize the effects of intra-tumor heterogeneity. Despite excellent agreement between gene expression values and IHC-score at the single marker level, broad differences emerge when samples are clustered at the global mRNA versus tumor cell (IHC) levels. Classification at the different levels give different results in a systematic fashion, which implicates that analysis at both levels is required for optimal subtype-classification of bladder cancer.

Description
Purpose: Determine if gene expression profiles in urine sediment could provide non-invasive candidate markers for painful bladder syndrome (PBS) with and/or without Hunner lesions. Materials and Methods: Fresh catheterized urine was collected and centrifuged from control (n = 5), lesion-free (n = 5), and Hunner lesion bearing (n = 3) patients. RNA was extracted from the pelleted material and quantified by gene expression microarray (Affymetrix Human Gene ST Array). Results: Three biologically likely hypotheses were tested: A) all three groups are distinct from one another; B) controls are distinct from both types of PBS patients combined, and C) Hunner lesion PBS patients are distinct from controls and non-Hunner-lesion PBS combined. For statistical parity an unlikely fourth hypothesis was included: non-Hunner-lesion PBS patients are distinct from controls and Hunner lesion PBS combined. Analyses supported selective upregulation of genes in the Hunner lesion PBS group (hypothesis C), and these were primarily associated with inflammatory function. This profile is similar to that reported in a prior microarray study of bladder biopsies in Hunner lesion PBS. Conclusions: Urine sediment gene expression from non-Hunner-lesion PBS patients lacked a clear difference from that of control subjects, while the array signatures from PBS patients with Hunner lesions showed a clear, primarily inflammatory, signature. This signature was highly similar to that seen in a prior microarray study of bladder biopsies. Thus, although sample sizes were small, this work suggests that gene expression in urine sediment may provide a non-invasive biomarker for Hunner lesion, but not non-Hunner lesion, PBS.

Description
The yeast mRNA export adaptor Yra1 binds the Pcf11 subunit of cleavage-polyadenylation factor CF1A linking export to 3'-end formation. We found a surprising consequence of this interaction is that Yra1 influences cleavage-polyadenylation. Yra1 competes with the CF1A subunit, Clp1, for binding to Pcf11, and excess Yra1 inhibits 3' processing in vitro. Release of Yra1 at the 3' ends of genes coincides with recruitment of Clp1, and depletion of Yra1 enhances Clp1 recruitment within some genes. These results suggest that CF1A is not necessarily recruited as a complete unit, but instead Clp1 can be incorporated co-transcriptionally in a process regulated by Yra1. Yra1 depletion causes widespread changes in poly(A) site choice particularly at sites where the efficiency element is divergently positioned. We propose that one way Yra1 modulates cleavage-polyadenylation is by influencing co-transcriptional assembly of the CF1A/B 3' processing factor. Key Words: Yra1, cleavage-polyadenylation, mRNA export, Pcf11, Clp1, Sub2, alternative polyadenylation Overall design: mRNA poly (A) sites were mapped by sequencing 3' ends in WT and Yra1-depleted cells using a GAL1-YRA1 mutant.

Description
Purpose: Traditional whole-tissue sequencing approaches do not fully capture brain cell-type specific effects of chronic alcohol. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to identify the specific transcriptome alterations in astrocytes due to chronic alcohol. Methods: We performed RNA-sequencing on astrocytes isolated from the prefrontal cortex (PFC) of C57BL/6J mice following chronic every-other-day alcohol consumption. Results: Differential expression analysis revealed alcohol-induced gene expression changes unique to astrocytes that could not be identified using whole tissue homogenate analysis. Enrichment analysis revealed involvement of calcium-related signaling and regulation of extracellular matrix genes in the astrocyte response to alcohol abuse. Conclusion: Our study presents the first focused analysis on the astrocyte transcriptome following chronic alcohol consumption, provides a framework for studying the functional response of astrocytes to alcohol and the possible astrocyte-specific effects of alcohol. In addition, our data represents a novel resource for groups interested in biological functions of astrocytes in the adult mouse PFC. Overall design: Illumina RNA-sequencing of isolated astrocytes and total homogenate from PFC of mice following chronic alcohol consumption

Description
Purpose: Evaluate gene expression profiles after inducing differentiation in cultured interstitial cystitis (IC) and control urothelial cells. Materials and Methods: Bladder biopsies were taken from IC patients and controls (women having surgery for stress incontinence). Primary cultures were grown in Keratinocyte Growth Medium with supplements. To induce differentiation, in some plates the medium was changed to DMEM-F12 with supplements. RNA was analyzed with Affymetrix chips. Three nonulcer IC patients were compared with three controls. Results: After inducing differentiation, 302 genes with a described function were altered at least 3-fold with p <0.01 in both IC and control cells. Functions of the162 upregulated genes included cell adhesion (e.g. claudins, occludin, cingulin); urothelial differentiation, retinoic acid pathway and keratinocyte differentiation (e.g. skin cornified envelope components). The 140 downregulated genes included genes associated with basal urothelium (e.g. p63, integrins ?4, ?5 and ?6, basonuclin 1 and extracellular matrix components), vimentin, metallothioneins and members of the Wnt and Notch pathways. Comparing IC vs. control cells after differentiation, only seven genes with a described function were altered at least 3-fold with p <0.01. PI3, SERPINB4, CYP2C8, EFEMP2 and SEPP1 were decreased in IC; AKR1C2 and MKNK1 were increased in IC. Conclusions: Differentiation-associated changes occurred in both IC and control cells. Comparing IC vs. control revealed very few differences. This study may have included IC patients with minimal urothelial deficiency and/or selected the cells that were most robust in culture. Also, the abnormal urothelium in IC may be due to post-translational changes and/or the bladder environment.
