Description
Malignant glioblastoma (GBM) is a highly aggressive brain tumor with a dismal prognosis and limited therapeutic options. Genomic profiling of GBM samples in the TCGA database has identified four molecular subtypes (Proneural, Neural, Classical and Mesenchymal), which may arise from different glioblastoma stem-like cell (GSC) populations. In the present study, we identify two GSC populations that produce GBM tumors by subcutaneous and intracranial injection with identical histological features. Gene expression analysis revealed that xenografts of GSCs grown as spheroid cultures had a Classical molecular subtype similar to that of bulk tumor cells. In contrast xenografts of GSCs grown as adherent cultures on laminin-coated plates expressed a Mesenchymal gene signature. Adherent GSC-derived xenografts had high STAT3 and ANGPTL4 expression as well as enrichment for stem cell markers, transcriptional networks and pro-angiogenic markers characteristic of the Mesenchymal subtype. Examination of clinical samples from GBM patients showed that STAT3 expression was directly correlated with ANGPTL4 expression, and that increased expression of these genes correlated with poor patient survival and performance. A pharmacological STAT3 inhibitor abrogated STAT3 binding to the ANGPTL4 promoter and exhibited anticancer activity in vivo. Taken together, we identified two distinct GSC populations that produce histologically identical tumors but with very different gene expression patterns, and a STAT3/ ANGPTL4 pathway in glioblastoma that may serve as a target for therapeutic intervention.

Description
Using stem cellbased therapies to treat retinal abnormalities is becoming a likely possibility; therefore, identifying the key factors and the relevant mechanisms controlling optic vesicle morphogenesis and neuroretina (NR) differentiation is important. Recent advances in self-organizing, 3-dimensional (3D) tissue cultures of embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) provided a valuable in vitro model for characterizing regulatory cascades and signaling pathways controlling mammalian retinal development. Using Rx-GFP expressing ESCs and Six3/ iPSCs we identified R-spondin 2 (Rspo2)-mediated repression of Wnt signaling as a novel required step during optic vesicle morphogenesis and NR differentiation. Furthermore, we also show that transient ectopic expression of Rspo2 in the anterior neural plate of transgenic mouse embryos was sufficient to arrest NR differentiation. ChIP assays identified Six3-responsive elements in the Rspo2-promoter region, indicating that Six3-mediated repression of Rspo2 is required to restrict Wnt signaling in the developing anterior neuroectoderm and allow eye development to proceed.

Description
Half of prostate cancers are caused by a gene-fusion that enables androgens to drive expression of the normally silent ETS transcription factor ERG in luminal prostate cells1-4. Recent prostate cancer genomic landscape studies5-10 have reported rare but recurrent point mutations in the ETS repressor ERF11. Here we show these ERF mutations cause decreased protein stability and ERF mutant tumours are mostly exclusive from those with ERG fusions. ERF loss recapitulates the morphologic and phenotypic features of ERG gain in primary mouse prostate tissue, including expansion of the androgen receptor (AR) transcriptional repertoire, and ERF has tumour suppressor activity in the same genetic background of PTEN loss that yields oncogenic activity by ERG. Furthermore, in a human prostate cancer model of ERG gain and wild-type ERF, ChIP-seq studies indicate that ERG inhibits the ability of ERF to bind DNA at consensus ETS sites. Consistent with a competition model, ERF loss rescues ERG-positive prostate cancer cells from ERG dependency. Collectively, these data provide evidence that the oncogenicity of ERG is mediated, in part, by displacement of ERF and raise the larger question of whether other gain-of-function oncogenic transcription factors might also inactivate endogenous tumour suppressors. Overall design: Murine Pten+/+ prostates were infected with shNT or shErf lentivirus, selected with antibiotics and 2 rounds of FACS. For each condition, 2 sets of equal numbers of cells were plated and then processed for RNA extraction and RNA-seq independently.

Purpose: The goal of this study was to assess gene expression changes upon SAHA treatment in cells overexpressing miR-203. Overall design: Primary cortical cultures were established using E15 cortical cultures from C57BL/6J mice. At DIV0, cells were infectd with either miR-203 (high titre - 1MOI) or intermediate titre (0.5MOI) or control (high 1MOI) lentivirus andalso treated with different dose of SAHA. At DIV8, total RNA was isolated using NucleoSpin RNA XS kit (Takara). Libraries were prepared using Standard illumina stranded mRNA-seq protocol.
