View SamplesIn this study we addressed subclonal evolutionary process after treatment and subsequent relapse in multiple myeloma (MM) in a cohort of 24 MM patients treated either with conventional chemotherapy or with the proteasome inhibitor, bortezomib. Because MM is a highly heterogeneous disease coupled with a large number of DNA copy number alterations (CNAs) and loss of heterozygosity (LOH), we focused our study on the secondary genetic events: 1q21 gain, NF-kB activating mutations, RB1 and TP53 deletions, that seem to reflect progression. By using genome-wide high resolution SNP arrays we identified subclones with nonlinear complex evolutionary histories in a third of patients with myeloma, the relapse clone apparently derived from a minor subclone at diagnosis. Such reordering of the spectrum of genetic lesions during therapy is likely to reflect selection of genetically distinct subclones not initially competitive against the dominant population that survived chemotherapy, thrived and acquired new anomalies. In addition we found that emergence of minor subclones at relapse was significantly associated with bortezomib treatment. Altogether, these data support the idea of new strategy of future clinical trials in MM that would combine targeted therapy and subpopulations control to eradicate all myeloma subclones in order to obtain long-term remission.

View SamplesLong non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are a diverse category of transcripts with poor conservation and have expanded greatly in primates, particularly in their brain. We identified a lncRNA, which has acquired 16 microRNA response elements (MREs) for miR-143-3p in the Catarrhini branch of primates. This lncRNA termed LncND (neuro-development) gets expressed in neural progenitor cells and then declines in mature neurons. Binding and release of miR-143-3p, by LncND, can control the expression of Notch. Its expression is highest in radial glia cells in the ventricular and outer subventricular zones of human fetal brain. Down-regulation of LncND in neuroblastoma cells reduced cell proliferation and induced neuronal differentiation, an effect phenocopied by miR-143-3p over-expression and supported by RNA-seq analysis. These findings support a role for LncND in miRNA-mediated regulation of Notch signaling in the expansion of the neural progenitor pool of primates and hence contributing to the rapid growth of the cerebral cortex. Overall design: Cerebral organoids were generated as in Lancaster et al. (Lancaster and Knoblich, 2014). Organoids were dissociated into single cells and captured on C1 Single-Cell Auto Prep Integrated Fluidic Circuit (IFC) (Fluidigm). The RNA extraction and amplification was performed on the chip as described by the manufacturer. We captured 68 single-cells on a C1 Single-Cell Auto Prep System (Fluidigm) and sequenced the RNA on a NextSeq500 System (Illumina) (Pollen et al., 2014). Out of 68 cells, we obtained 60 high quality cells.

Scrambled siRNA or miRNA sequences were used as a negative control.

View SamplesUnder defined differentiation conditions human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) can be directed toward a mesendodermal (ME) or neuroectoderm (NE) fate, the first decision during hESC differentiation. Coupled with G1 lengthening a divergent ciliation pattern emerged within the first 24 hours of induced lineage specification and these changes heralded a neuroectoderm decision before any neural precursor markers were expressed. By day 2, increased ciliation in NE precursors induced autophagy that resulted in the inactivation of Nrf2. Nrf2 binds directly to upstream regions of the OCT4 and NANOG genes to promote their expression and represses NE derivation. Nrf2 suppression was sufficient to rescue poorly neurogenic iPSC lines. Only after these events have been initiated do neural precursor markers get expressed at day 4. Thus we have identified a primary cilium-autophagy-Nrf2 (PAN) axis coupled to cell cycle progression that directs hESCs toward NE. Overall design: Transcriptome analysis of hESC-derived neuroectoderm and mesendoderm cells
