Description
Paternal imprinting initiates in primordial germ cells (PGCs), and is considered largely completed at birth. The resulting postnatal spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) thenself-renew and proliferate to populate the testicular niche, with sexual maturation enabling productive gametogenesis. Overall design: mRNA profiles of neonatal wild type (WT) mice testis were generated by deep sequencing using Illumina HiSeq 2000 Examination of 2 different histone modifications in mouse spermatogonia Please note that ChIPSeq_Kitplus samples are samples isolated with MACS CD117 microbeads from Miltenyi and ChIPSeq_Kitminus are samples that were not positively selected for Kit.

Description
Protein Arginine MethylTransferase 5 (PRMT5) is known to mediate epigenetic control on chromatin and to functionally regulate components of the splicing machinery. In this study we show that selective deletion of PRMT5 in different organs leads to cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. At the molecular level, PRMT5 depletion results in reduced methylation of Sm proteins, aberrant constitutive splicing and in the Alternative Splicing (AS) of specific mRNAs. We identify Mdm4 as one of these mRNAs, which due to its weak 5-Donor site, acts as a sensor of splicing defects and transduces the signal to activate the p53 response, providing a mechanistic explanation of the phenotype observed in PRMT5 conditional knockout mice. Our data demonstrate a key role of PRMT5, together with p53, as guardians of the transcriptome. This will have fundamental implications in our understanding of PRMT5 activity, both in physiological conditions, as well as pathological conditions, including cancer and neurological diseases.

Description
Constitutively active MYC and reactivated telomerase often co-exist in cancers. While the reactivation of telomerase is thought to be essential for replicative immortality, MYC, in conjunction with co-factors, confers several growth advantages to cancer cells. However, it is unclear which co-factors sustain elevated MYC activity in tumors . Here, we identify TERT, the catalytic subunit of telomerase, as a novel regulator of MYC stability in cancers. Binding of TERT to MYC stabilizes its levels on chromatin, contributing to either activation or repression of its target genes. Mechanistically, TERT regulates MYC ubiquitination and stability, and this effect of TERT is independent of its role on telomeres. Genetic inhibition and knocking out of TERT phenocopied the loss of MYC, resulting in reduced disease burden of early- and late-stage MYC-driven murine lymphomas. Conversly, the ectopic expression of TERT could substitute for reduced MYC in these functions. Finally we show that TERT null mice, unlike Terc null mice, show delayed onset of MYC induced lymphomagenesis. Accordingly, inhibiting TERT function in primary human leukemia cells blocked the expression of MYC targets, while Terc depletion had no effects . Based on our data, we conclude that the re-expression of TERT, a direct MYC target in tumors, provides a feed-forward mechanism to potentiate MYC-dependent oncogenesis.

Description
Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is clinically heterogeneous, comprising different histological and biological subtypes. Multiple studies have implicated epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), a biological process by which polarized epithelial cells convert into a mesenchymal phenotype, to contribute significantly to this molecular heterogeneity of EOC. From gene expression analyses of a collection of EMT-characterized EOC cell lines, we found that the expression of the transcription factor Grainyhead-like 2 (GRHL2) correlates with E-cadherin expression and the epithelial phenotype. EOC tumors with lower levels of GRHL2 are associated with the Mes (mesenchymal) molecular subtype and show poorer overall survival in patients. Here, we demonstrate that shRNA-mediated knockdown of GRHL2 in EOC cells with an epithelial phenotype resulted in EMT changes, with increased cell migration, invasion and motility. By ChIP-sequencing and gene expression microarray, we identified a variety of target genes regulated by GRHL2, including protein-coding and non-coding genes. Our data suggest that GRHL2 maintains the epithelial phenotype of EOC cells through the regulatory networks of miR-200b/a, ZEB1 and E-cadherin. These findings support GRHL2 as a crucial player in the molecular heterogeneity of EOC.

Description
We transfected PC3 cells with 100nM of a scrambled antisense oligonucleotide (AON) and an AON directed against MBNL1 exon 7 (36 basepairs) in order to skip the latter. Cells were harvested at 72h post-transfection and RNAseq was performed with ribozero depletion. Overall design: For RNA-Seq library preparation we followed the Illumina TruSeq RNA Sample Preparation Kit v2 manual. At least 70 million, 75bp long paired end reads were mapped to the GRCh37/hg19 version of the human genome per replicate using STAR 2.4.2a (doi: 10.1093/bioinformatics/bts635) using the default parameters.

Description
Over-expressed MYC binds to virtually all active promoters within a cell, although with different binding affinities, and modulates gene expression, both positively and negatively. Here, we show that during lymphomagenesis in E-myc transgenic mice, MYC directly up-regulates the transcription of the core snRNP assembly genes, including PRMT5, an arginine methyltransferase, that methylates Sm proteins as an early step in lymphomagenesis. This coordinated regulatory effect is direct and is critical for snRNP biogenesis, the maintenance of effective mRNA splicing and cellular viability in cycling cells, in either fibroblasts or B-cells.
