Description
The sequential activation of distinct developmental gene networks governs the ultimate identity of a cell, but the mechanisms by which downstream programs are activated are incompletely understood. The preB-cell receptor (preBCR) is an important checkpoint of B-cell development and essential for a preB-cell to traverse into an immature B-cell. Here, we show that activation of Mef2 transcription factors by preBCR is necessary for initiating the subsequent genetic network. We demonstrate that B-cell development is blocked at the preB-cell stage in mice deficient for Mef2c and Mef2d transcription factors and that preBCR signaling enhances the transcriptional activity of Mef2c/d through phosphorylation by the ERK5 mitogen activating kinase. This activation is instrumental in inducing Krüppel-like factor 2 and several immediate early genes of the AP1 and Egr family. Finally, we show that Mef2 proteins cooperate with the products of their target genes (Irf4 and Egr2) to induce secondary waves of transcriptional regulation. Our findings uncover a novel role for Mef2c/d in coordinating the transcriptional network that promotes early B-cell development. Overall design: RNA-seq experiments were performed from Mef2c/d knockout proB-cells versus control cells to identify genes regulated by Klf2

Description
The objective of this study was the assessment of transcriptional dysregulation in particular with regard to B-cell differentiation factors. Most studies focus on cross-section analyses of various leukemia subtypes to identify differentially regulated genes lacking suitable reference models. Here we applied comparative intraindividual transcriptome analysis of B-precursor ALL of childhood, which introduces a side-by-side analysis of leukemic cells and matched normal lymphoblasts from the same individual in complete continuous remission after the end of re-induction therapy. This approach reduces noise by eliminating interindividual variability.

Description
There is an association between transcriptome and the exercise-related phenotype. Peripheral blood cells suffer alterations in the gene expression pattern in response to perturbations caused by exercise. The acute response to endurance activates stress and inflammation, as well as growth and tissue repair responses.

Insulin degrading enzyme (IDE) is a major enzyme responsible for insulin degradation in the liver. The modulation of insulin degrading enzyme activity is hypothesized to be a link between T2DM and liver cancer. Results provide insight into role of IDE in proliferation and other cell functions.

Description
Vertebrates typically harbor a rich gastrointestinal microbiota, which has co-evolved with the host over millennia and is essential for several of its physiological functions, in particular maturation of the immune system. Recent studies have highlighted the importance of a single bacterial species, segmented filamentous bacteria (SFB), in inducing a robust T helper (Th)17 population in the small intestinal lamina propria (SI-LP) of the mouse gut. Consequently, SFB can promote IL-17-dependent immune and autoimmune responses, gut-associated as well as systemic, including inflammatory arthritis and experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis. Here, we exploit the incomplete penetrance of SFB colonization of NOD mice in our animal facility to explore its impact on the incidence and course of type-1 diabetes in this prototypical, spontaneous model. There was a strong co-segregation of SFB-positivity and diabetes protection in females, but not in males, which remained relatively disease-free regardless of the SFB status. In contrast, insulitis did not depend on SFB colonization. SFB-positive, but not SFB-negative, females had a substantial population of Th17 cells in the SI-LP, which was the only significant, repeatable difference in the examined T cell compartments of the gut, pancreas or systemic lymphoid tissues. Th17 signature transcripts dominated the very limited SFB-induced molecular changes detected in SI-LP CD4+ T cells. Thus, a single bacterium, and the gut immune system alterations associated with it, can either promote or protect from autoimmunity in predisposed mouse models, likely reflecting their variable dependence on different Th subsets.

Description
Analysis of gene expression over serial 150um sections of a single gestational week 14.5 human neocortical specimen. The hypothesis tested with this dataset was that a transcriptional signature of radial glia (neural stem cells) could be isolated via unsupervised gene coexpression analysis due to variation in the abundance of this cell type from section to section. This dataset is the first of its kind generated using this method (Gene Coexpression Analysis of Serial Sections, or GCASS).
