Description
Mammalian epidermal stem cells maintain homeostasis of skin epidermis and contribute to its regeneration throughout adult life. While two-dimensional mouse epidermal stem cell cultures have been established decades ago, a long-term, feeder cell- and serum-free culture system recapitulating murine epidermal architecture has not been available. Here we describe an epidermal organoid culture system that allows long-term, genetically stable expansion of adult epidermal stem cells. Our epidermal expansion media combines atypically high calcium concentrations, activation of cyclic AMP, FGF and R-spondin signaling with inhibition of BMP signaling. Organoids are established robustly from adult mouse skin and expand over at least 6 months, while maintaining the basal-apical organization of the mouse interfollicular epidermis. The system represents a powerful tool to study epidermal homeostasis and disease in vitro. Overall design: We establish an organoid culture system for long-term expansion of mouse epidermal stem cells. Using histological methods as well as low-coverage multiplexed RNA sequencing, we show that cultured organoids resembled interfollicular epidermis. We analyzed a total of 23 samples, including 6 controls that are isolated from the skin of mice. None-passaged as well as cultured organoids were compared with replicates. Differences growth factors and small molecules that allow expansion of organoids were compared with replicates.

Description
Kinesin spindle protein (KSP) inhibition is known to be an effective therapeutic approach in several malignancies. Filanesib (Arry-520), a KSP inhibitor, has demonstrated activity in heavily pretreated multiple myeloma (MM) patients. The aim of this work was to investigate the activity of filanesib in combination with an IMiDs plus dexamethasone backbone, and the mechanisms underlying the potential synergistic effect. Results: Filanesib showed in vitro and in vivo synergy with all IMiDs plus dexamethasone treatment, particularly with the pomalidomide combination (PDF). Importantly, the in vivo synergy observed in this combination was more evident in large, highly proliferative tumors, and it was shown to be mediated by impairment of mitosis transcriptional control, an increase in monopolar spindles, cell cycle arrest and the induction of apoptosis in cells in proliferative phases. In addition, PDF increased the activation of the proapoptotic protein Bax, which has been previously associated with sensitivity to filanesib, and could potentially be used as a predictive biomarker of response to this combination. Conclusions: Our results provide preclinical evidence for the potential benefit of the combination of filanesib with pomalidomide and dexamethasone and es-tablished the basis for a recently activated trial being conducted by the Spanish MM group investigating this combination in relapsed MM patients.

Description
Lgr5+ stem cells reside at crypt bottoms of the small and large intestine. Small intestinal Paneth cells supply Wnt3, EGF and Notch signals to neighboring Lgr5+ stem cells. While the colon lacks Paneth cells, Deep Crypt Secretory (DCS) cells are intermingled with Lgr5+ stem cells at crypt bottoms. Here, we report Reg4 as a marker of DCS cells. To investigate a niche function, we eliminated DCS cells using the diphtheria-toxin receptor gene knocked into the murine Reg4 locus. Ablation of DCS cells results in loss of stem cells from colonic crypts and disrupts gut homeostasis and colon mini-gut formation. In agreement, sorted Reg4+ DCS cells promote organoid formation of single Lgr5+ colon stem cells. Stem cells are forced to generate DCS cells in vitro by combined Notch inhibition and Wnt activation. We conclude that Reg4+ DCS cells serve as Paneth cell equivalents in the colon crypt niche. Overall design: To define a global gene expression signature of DCS cells, we performed RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) of sorted Reg4-dsRed+ and Lgr5-GFP+ cells from colonic epithelium. Sorting and RNA-seq library preparation was performed twice, to obtain a biological replicate.

Description
Precursor T-cell lymphoblastic neoplasms are aggressive haematological neoplasm that most often manifest with extensive marrow and blood affectation (T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia or T-ALL) or less commonly as a thymic mass with limited bone marrow infiltration (T-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma or T-LBL). Here we show data from RNA-Seq in a sample series of T-LBL from Spanish patients.The goal was to determine the levels of expression of coding genes and microRNAs, and to identify all genetic variants including SNVs, indels, and fusion transcripts. Overall design: Expression data were determined by comparson of each tumour sample with two control thymuses (404 and 405). Genetic variants were determined by comparison of tumour sequences with canonical ENSEMBL normal-references of each gene.
