Description
Non-coding RNAs regulate many biological processes including neurogenesis. The brain-enriched miR-124 is assigned as a key player of neuronal differentiation via its complex, but little understood, regulation of thousands of annotated targets. To systematically chart its regulatory functions, we used CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing to disrupt all six miR-124 alleles in human stem cells. Upon neuronal induction, miR-124-depleted cells underwent neurogenesis and became functional neurons, albeit with altered morphology and neurotransmitter specification. By RNA-induced-silencing-complex precipitation, we found that other miRNA species were upregulated in miR-124 depleted neurons. Furthermore, we identified 98 miR-124 targets of which some directly led to decreased viability. We performed advanced transcription-factor-network analysis and revealed indirect miR-124 effects on apoptosis and neuronal subtype differentiation. Our data emphasizes the need for combined experimental- and systems-level analyses to comprehensively disentangle and reveal miRNA functions, including their involvement in the neurogenesis of diverse neuronal cell types found in the human brain. Overall design: RNA profile for timecourse of neuronal Neurogenin-1 and 2-triggered differentiation from human iPSCs (wildtype and ?miR-124).

Description
Mitochondrial calcium is an important second-messenger controlling fight-or-flight responses in the heart. The molecular identity of MCU (Mitochondrial Calcium Uniporter) was recently discovered allowing us to test this hypothesis in vivo by expressiing a myocardial delimited dominant negative form of MCU.

Description
Statins reduce cardiovascular disease risk by lowering plasma low density lipoprotein (LDL)-cholesterol. To identify novel pathways that modulate statin response, we assessed the influence of simvastatin exposure on expression quantitative trait locus (eQTL) associations across the genome in 480 lymphoblastoid cell lines (LCLs). Cell lines were derived blood samples collected ant entry visit from participants in the Cholesterol and Pharmacogenomics (CAP) trial, who underwent a 6 week 40mg/day simvastatin trial. We identified 4590 cis-eQTLS that were independent of treatment status (FDR=1%) and six cis-eQTLS for which there was evidence of an interaction with treatment (FDR=20%). Genotypes and Phenotypes derived from these indivudals are available through dbGaP (Accession Number). eQTL results are available at: http://eqtl.uchicago.edu/cgi=bin/gbrowse/eqtl/

Description
TCL1 is an an oncogene and transgenic (Tg) mice expressing TCL1 specifically in B-cells are well-characterized models for chronic lymphocytic leukemia. On the contrary, PTPROt is a phosphatase with tumor suppressor characteristics in many cancers including leukemia. Our hypothesis was that transgenic expression of PTPROt in the B-cells of TCL1 Tg mice will alleviate disease phenotype and allow the study of the in vivo mechanism of action of PTPROt. To test this we have generated Tg mice with B-cell specific expression of PTPROt and crossed these mice with the TCL1 Tg mice.

Description
We have performed whole genome expression arrays covering over 47000 transcripts comparing the transcriptional profile of NKp80+ to NKp80- CD8+ CCR7- alpha beta T cells. A highly similar global gene expression profile was observed between both memory phenotype T cell subsets. Interestingly, the majority of differentially expressed genes are immune-associated. NKp80+ cells contained markedly increased levels of transcripts encoding for MHC class I and II molecules and for numerous members of the KIR family. Also other NK-related transcripts were more abundantly expressed in the NKp80+ subset. With regards to cytokines, chemokines and their receptors, transcripts important for homeostasis and proliferation are expressed differently. Also transcripts encoding for adhesion molecules are present at different levels in both T cell subsets. Further cytotoxic effector molecules are expressed differently.

NKp80 defines and stimulates a reactive subset of CD8 T cells.

Description
We performed a transcriptome-wide study to compare gene expression profiles of ECFC, human coronary artery endothelial cells (HCAEC) and human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) utilising subcutaneous adipose tissue-derived stromal vascular fraction (SAT-SVF) as a negative control population. Baseline gene expression in ECFC fully corresponds to their endothelial specification and may contribute to the basement membrane organisation, fulfilling the requirements for the suitable cell population for in vitro pre-endothelialisation of tubular scaffolds. Overall design: Comparison of gene expression in 4 cell types by Hiseq sequencing.

The NEWEST (Neoadjuvant Endocrine Therapy for Women with Estrogen-Sensitive Tumours) trial compared the clinical and biological activity of fulvestrant 500 mg vs 250 mg in the neoadjuvant setting. In this multi-centre phase II study, post-menopausal women with operable, locally advanced (T2, 3, 4b; N0-3; M0) ER-positive breast tumours were randomised to receive neoadjuvant treatment with either dose of fulvestrant for 16 weeks before surgery.
