Description
The nuclear hormone 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25(OH)2D3) regulates its target genes via activation of the transcription factor vitamin D receptor (VDR) far more specifically than the chromatin modifier trichostatin A (TsA) via its inhibitory action on histone deacetylases. We selected the thrombomodulin gene locus with its complex pattern of three 1,25(OH)2D3 target genes, five VDR binding sites and multiple histone acetylation and open chromatin regions as an example to investigate together with a number of reference genes, the primary transcriptional responses to 1,25(OH)2D3 and TsA. Transcriptome-wide, 18.4% of all expressed genes are either up- or down-regulated already after a 90 min TsA treatment; their response pattern to 1,25(OH)2D3 and TsA sorts them into at least six classes. TsA stimulates a far higher number of genes than 1,25(OH)2D3 and dominates the outcome of combined treatments. However, 200 TsA target genes can be modulated by 1,25(OH)2D3 and more than 1000 genes respond only when treated with both compounds. The genomic view on the genes suggests that the degree of acetylation at transcription start sites and VDR binding regions may determine the effect of TsA on mRNA expression and its interference with 1,25(OH)2D3. Our findings may have implications on dual therapies using chromatin modifiers and nuclear receptor ligands.

Description
Androgen receptor (AR) plays an important regulatory role during prostate cancer development. ARs transcriptional activity is regulated by androgenic ligands, but also by post-translational modifications. To study the role of the AR SUMOylation in genuine chromatin environment, we compared androgen-regulated gene expression and AR chromatin occupancy in PC-3 prostate cancer and HEK293 cell lines stably expressing wild-type (wt) or SUMOylation site-mutated AR (AR-K386R,K520R). Our genome-wide gene expression analyses reveal that the SUMOylation modulates the AR function in a target gene and pathway selective manner. The transcripts that are differentially regulated by androgen and SUMOylation are linked to cellular movement, cell death, cellular proliferation, cellular development and cell cycle. In line with these data, SUMOylation mutant AR cells proliferate faster and are more sensitive to apoptosis. Moreover, ChIP-seq analyses show that the SUMOylation modulates the chromatin occupancy of AR on many loci in a fashion that parallels with their differential androgen-regulated expression. De novo motif analyses show that other transcription factor-binding motifs are differentially enriched at the wtAR- and the AR-K386R,K520R-preferred genomic binding positions. Taken together, our data indicate that SUMOylation does not simply repress the AR activity, but it regulates ARs interaction with the chromatin and the receptors target gene selection.

Description
TCF7L2 regulates multiple metabolic pathways in hepatocytes through a transcriptional network involving HNF4a Overall design: For the identification of Tcf7l2 target genes using a RNA-seq timecourse, and for identifying the binding sites of Tcf7l2 and Hnf4a, Tcf7l2 was silenced in rat H4IIE hepatocytes using siRNA for Tcf7l2 with a scrambled siRNA as control. Treatment times for RNA-seq samples were 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 48, and 96 hours, and for ChIP-seq samples 15 h. RNA-seq timecourse was performed in duplicate or triplicate, and the ChIP-seq in duplicate for Tcf7l2 and in singlicate for Hnf4a. The H4IIE-specific transcriptome was defined from an independent set of pooled 24 h siRNA treated samples (N=3 for siRNA for Tcf7l2 and N=3 for scrambled siRNA).

Description
The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) functions in higher organisims in development, metabolism and toxic responses. Its Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) ortholog, AHR-1, facilitates neuronal development, growth and movement. We investigated the effect of AHR mutation on the transcriptional profile of L4 stage C. elegans using RNA-seq and quantitative real-time PCR in order to understand better AHR-1 function at the genomic level. Illumina HiSeq 2000 sequencing yielded 51.1, 61.2 and 54.0 million reads from wild-type controls, ahr-1(ia03) and ahr-1(ju145) mutants, respectively, providing detection of over 18,000 transcripts in each sample. Fourteen transcripts were over-expressed and 125 under-expressed in both ahr-1 mutants when compared to wild-type. Under-expressed genes included soluble guanylate cyclase (gcy) family genes, some of which were previously demonstrated to be regulated by AHR-1. A neuropeptide-like protein gene, nlp-20, and an F-box domain protein gene fbxa-192 and its pseudogenes fbxa-191 and fbxa-193 were also under-expressed. Conserved xenobiotic response elements were identified in the 5'' flanking regions of some but not all of the gcy, nlp-20 and fbxa genes. These results extend previous studies demonstrating control of gcy family gene expression by AHR-1, and furthermore suggest a role of AHR-1 in regulation of a neuropeptide gene as well as pseudogenes. Overall design: One sample was created from each of the following strains: wild-type N2, ahr-1(ia03) mutant and ahr-1(ju145) mutant. In data analysis, each mutant sample was individually compared to the wild-type sample to find differentially expressed genes.

Description
Huntington’s disease (HD) symptoms are driven to a large extent by dysfunction of the basal ganglia circuitry. HD patients exhibit reduced striatal phoshodiesterase 10 (PDE10) levels. Using HD mouse models that exhibit reduced PDE10, we demonstrate the benefit of pharmacologic PDE10 inhibition to acutely correct basal ganglia circuitry deficits. PDE10 inhibition restored corticostriatal input and boosted cortically driven indirect pathway activity. Cyclic nucleotide signaling is impaired in HD models and PDE10 loss may represent a homeostatic adaptation to maintain signaling. Elevation of both cAMP and cGMP by PDE10 inhibition were required for rescue. Phosphoproteomic profiling of striatum in response to PDE10 inhibition highlighted plausible neural substrates responsible for the improvement. Early chronic PDE10 inhibition in Q175 mice showed improvements beyond those seen with acute administration after symptom onset, including partial reversal of striatal deregulated transcripts and the prevention of the emergence of HD neurophysiological deficits. Overall design: Transcriptional profiling of cortex and striatal tissue following chronic dosing of either vehicle or the PDE10A inhibitor PF-02545920 (0.32, 1 and 3.2 mg/kg po qd) in the Q175 homozygous knock-in mouse model of Huntington’s disease (dosing from 5-weeks to 9 months of age).

A mouse AGM-derived cell line, AGM-s3, was shown to support the development of hematopoietic stem cells. To elucidate the molecular mechanisms regulating early hematopoiesis, we obtained subclones from AGM-s3, some of which were hematopoiesis supportive (s3-A9) and others which were non-supportive (s3-A7), and we analyzed the gene expression profiles by gene chip analysis.
