Description
The development of the central nervous system (CNS) depends on the orchestrated generation of neurons and glia from neural stem cells (NSCs). Although NSCs generate both cell types, they are produced sequentially as neurons are born first and glia later. In humans, this timing is extremely protracted and the underlying mechanisms remain unknown. Deriving glial cells such as astrocytes from human pluripotent stem cells requires 3-6 months of differentiation, greatly impeding their use in human disease modeling and regenerative medicine. Here, we report that expression of the transcription factor nuclear factor IA (NFIA) is sufficient to trigger glial competency in highly neurogenic NSCs and enables the derivation of human astrocytes within 10-12 days. NFIA-induced astrocytes are functional and shown to promote synaptogenesis, protect neurons and generate calcium transients. The mechanism of NFIA-induced glial competency involves rapid but reversible chromatin remodeling, demethylation of the GFAP promoter and a striking effect on the cell cycle. NFIA titration and pharmacological studies indicate that acquisition of a glial-compatible G1 length is critical for achieving glial competency. Our results offer mechanistic insights into human glial competency and enable the routine use of astrocytes for studying human development and disease. Overall design: The timecourse consists of 4 timpoints. Day 0 (d0) represents neurogenic LTNSCs, day 3 (d3) represents overexpression of NFIA with doxycycline and cells were harvested in bulk, day 6 (d6) represents cells sorted for CD44 while NFIA is overexpressed, day 9 (d9) represents CD44+ sorted cells replated in culture without the addition of doxycyline to downregulate NFIA and day 12 (d12) represents the same cultures in d9, but with 3 additional days of no doxycycline treatment. Each timepoint has a minimum of 3 biological replicates. Rosette cells (H9 d0) and neurons (Dapt) were profiled as controls where rosettes were one sample and neurons were performed in duplicate.

Description
Integration of nutritional, microbial and inflammatory events along the gut-brain axis can alter bowel physiology and organism behaviour. The principal neural unit in the bowel encoding these stimuli is the visceral sensory neuron with endings at the mucosa, intramurally and along mesenteric blood vessels. Sensory neurons activate reflex pathways and give rise to conscious sensation, however, the diversity and division of function within these neurons is poorly understood. The identification of signalling pathways contributing to visceral sensation is constrained by the current paucity of molecular markers. Here we overcome these limitations by comprehensive transcriptomic profiling and unsupervised clustering of single colonic sensory neurons revealing 7 classes characterised from both lumbar splanchnic (LSN) and pelvic nerves (PN). We identify and classify neurons based on novel marker genes, confirm translation of patterning to protein expression and show subtype-selective differential agonist activation, describing sensory diversity encompassing all modalities of colonic neuronal sensitivity. Overall design: Sensory neurons innervating the mouse colorectum were labelled by retrograde tracer injection. Single-cell RNAseq was performed on 399 dissociated colonic sensory neurons isolated from thoracolumbar (T10-L1) and lumbosacral (L5-S2) dorsal root ganglia distributed over six 96-well plates. 13 additional negative controls were collected.

Description
p65-/-Ras cells show delayed tumor formation in SCID mice. However, after prolonged latency, tumor formation was observed from these mice. To understand the changes of NF-kB regulated genes before and after tumor formation, RNA from p65+/+Ras, p65+/+RasTumor, p65-/-Ras, p65-/-RasTumor cells were isolated and microarray were performed.

Description
The ability to sequence genomes has far outstripped approaches for deciphering the information they encode. Here we present a suite of techniques, based on ribosome profiling (the deep-sequencing of ribosome-protected mRNA fragments), to provide genome-wide maps of protein synthesis as well as a pulse-chase strategy for determining rates of translation elongation. We exploit the propensity of harringtonine to cause ribosomes to accumulate at sites of translation initiation together with a machine learning algorithm to define protein products systematically. Analysis of translation in mouse embryonic stem cells reveals thousands of strong pause sites and novel translation products. These include amino-terminal extensions and truncations and upstream open reading frames with regulatory potential, initiated at both AUG and non-AUG codons, whose translation changes after differentiation. We also define a new class of short, polycistronic ribosome-associated coding RNAs (sprcRNAs) that encode small proteins. Our studies reveal an unanticipated complexity to mammalian proteomes.

Description
Scalp psoriasis shows a variable clinical spectrum and in many cases poses a great therapeutic challenge. However, it remains unknown whether the immune response of scalp psoriasis differs from understood pathomechanisms of psoriasis on other skin areas. We sought to determine the cellular and mollecular phenotype of scalp psoriasis by performing a comparative analysis of scalp vs skin using lesional and nonlesional samples from 20 Caucasian subjects with untreated moderate to severe psoriasis and significant scalp involvement, and 10 control subjects without psoriasis. Our results suggest that even in the scalp psoriasis is a disease of the inter-follicular skin. The immune mechanisms that mediate scalp psoriasis were found to be similar to those involved in skin psoriasis. However, the magnitude of dysregulation, number of differentially expressed genes, and enrichment of the psoriatic genomic fingerprinting were more prominent in skin lesions. Furthermore, the scalp transcriptome showed increased modulation of several gene-sets, particularly those induced by interferon-gamma, compared with skin psoriasis which was mainly associated with activation of TNF/L-17/IL-22-induced keratinocyte response genes. We also detected differences in expression of gene-sets involving negative regulation, epigenetic regulation, epidermal differentiation, and dendritic cell or Th1/Th17/Th22-related T-cell processes.

Description
The development of the epidermis, a stratified squamous epithelium, is dependent on the regulated differentiation of keratinocytes. Differentiation begins with the initiation of stratification, a process tightly controlled through proper gene expression. AP-2 is expressed in skin and previous research suggested a pathway where p63 gene induction results in increased expression of AP-2 which in turn is responsible for induction of K14. This study uses a conditional gene ablation model to further explore the role of AP-2 in skin development. Mice deficient for AP-2 exhibited delayed expression of p63, K14, and K1, key genes required for development and differentiation of the epidermis. In addition, microarray analysis of E16.5 skin revealed delayed expression of additional late epidermal differentiation genes: filaggrin, repetin and secreted Ly6/Plaur domain containing 1, in mutant mice. The genetic delay in skin development was further confirmed by a functional delay in the formation of an epidermal barrier. These results document an important role for AP-2 in skin development, and reveal the existence of regulatory factors that can compensate for AP-2 in its absence.

Description
Multiple transcription factors regulate B cell commitment, which coordinates with myeloiderythroid lineage differentiation. One such factor, NF-kB, has long been speculated to regulate early B cell development; however, this issue remains controversial. IKKa is required for splenic B cell maturation, but not for bone marrow (BM) B cell development. Here, we unexpectedly found defective BM B cell development and an increased myeloiderythroid lineages in kinase-dead IKKa (KA/KA) knock-in mice. Markedly increased cytosolic p100, an NF-kB2 inhibitory form, and reduced nuclear NF-kB p65, RelB, p50, and p52, as well as IKKa, was observed in KA/KA splenic and BM B cells. Several B- and myeloiderythroid-cell regulators, including Pax5, were deregulated in KA/KA BM B cells. Using fetal liver and BM congenic transplants, and IKKa deletion from early hematopoietic cells in mice, this defect was identified as B cell intrinsic and as an early event during hematopoiesis. Re-expression of IKKa, Pax5, or combined NF-kB molecules promoted B cell development, but repressed myeloiderythroid cell differentiation in KA/KA BM B cells. Together, these results demonstrate that IKKa regulates B-lineage commitment via combined canonical and noncanonical NF-kB transcriptional activity to target Pax5 expression during hematopoiesis.
