Description
Before birth B-cells develop in the fetal liver (FL). Here we show that Gli3 activity in the FL stroma is required for B-cell development. In the Gli3-deficient FL B-cell development was reduced at multiple stages, whereas the Sonic hedgehog (Shh)-deficient FL showed increased B-cell development, and Gli3 functioned to repress Shh transcription. Use of a transgenic Hedgehog (Hh)-reporter mouse showed that Shh signals directly to developing B-cells, and that Hh pathway activation was increased in developing B-cells from Gli3-deficient fetal liver. RNAsequencing confirmed that Hh-mediated transcription is increased in B-lineage cells from Gli3-deficient FL, and showed that these cells expressed reduced levels of B-lineage transcription factors and BCR/pre-BCR-signalling genes. We showed that expression of the master regulators of B-cell development, Ebf1 and Pax5, is reduced in developing B-cells from Gli3-deficient FL and increased in Shh-deficient FL, and that in vitro Shh-treatment or neutralisation can repress or induce their expression respectively. Overall design: Wildtype and Gli3 mutant (Gli3+/- and Gli3-/-) (n=2) embryonic day 17.5 fetal livers were sorted for CD19+B220+ cells. RNA extracted from these cells was sequenced to help understand the transcriptional changes governing B cell development in the Gli3 mutants.

Description
Purpose:To dissect the mechanisms underlying altered gene expression in aneuploids, we measured transcript abundance in colonies of haploid yeast strain F45 and derived strains, including strains disomic for chromosomes XV and XVI, using RNA-seq. F45 colonies display complex “fluffy” morphologies, while the disomic colonies are smooth, resembling laboratory strains Methods: RNA-seq analysis was carried out on RNA isolated from fully developed S. cerevisiae colonies, grown on solid medium for four days, either in triplicate or quadruplicate. Stranded, paired-end sequencing was carried out in two batches. In the first batch 2x51 bp sequencing was carried out on an Illumina Hiseq2000 and in the second batch 2x75 bp sequencing was carried out on an Illumina NextSeq. Readpairs were aligned using Bowtie2 (version 2.1.0)with the parameters [-N 1 -I 50 -X 450 -p 6 --reorder -x -S] and allowing 1 mismatch per read. Differential transcription was detected and quantified using EdgeR (v. 3.6.8) Results: Our two disomes displayed similar transcriptional profiles, a phenomenon not driven by their shared smooth colony morphology nor specified purely by the karyotype. Surprisingly, the environmental stress response (ESR) was induced in euploid F45, relative to the two disomes, rather than vice-versa. We also identified genes whose expression reflected a non-linear interaction between the copy number of a transcriptional regulatory gene on chromosome XVI, DIG1, and the copy number of other chromosome XVI genes. DIG1 and the remaining chromosome XVI genes also demonstrated distinct contributions to the effect of the chromosome XVI disome on ESR gene expression. Conclusions: Expression changes in aneuploids reflect a mixture of effects shared between different aneuploidies, including stress responses, and effects unique to perturbing the copy number of particular chromosomes, including non-linear copy number interactions between genes. The balance between these two phenomena is likely to be genotype and environment specific. Overall design: mRNA profiles of 4 day old haploid F45 colonies, and colonies derived from F45 were generated by deep sequencing, in triplicate or quadruplicate, using Illumina Hiseq2000 or Illumina Nextseq sequencing.

Description
A highly metastatic breast cancer cell line, 4T1, was used to generate stable Wnt5a expressing and vector only control cells. Cells were generated using lentivirus infection and selection with blasticidin. Expression of Wnt5a was confirmed using western blot. Cell behaviour was characterized. Wnt5a expressing cells exhibited reduced migration in a transwell assay and reduced metastasis in a tail vein injection assay. Growth was not significantly affected.

Despite Hedgehogs influence on T-cell activation and proliferation, the transcriptional targets of Gli2 in lymphocytes are not known. We therefore examined the Hedgehog-dependent transcriptional response of resting and early-stage activated T-cells in order to define their transcriptional response to Hedgehog pathway activation.

Description
To investigate differential gene expression that might account for the differing glomerular phenotype of NPHS2-Cre +/+ mice when compared with wild-type control, including altered GBM thickness, loss of normal foot process morphology, and decrease in podocyte number, RNA sequencing analysis was performed on glomeruli extracted from both NPHS2-Cre +/+ and wild-type control mice. Overall design: Following isolation of glomeruli using Dynabeads from NPHS2-Cre +/+ and wild-type control mice (n=2 biological replicates per genotype, singly isolated), total RNA was extracted and RNA samples were submited for sample preparation and sequencing.

Description
It is well known that both recipient cells and donor nuclei demonstrate a mitotic advantage as observed in the traditional reprogramming with somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT). However, It is not known whether a specific mitotic factor plays a critical role in reprogramming. Here we identify an isoform of human bromodomain-containing 3 (BRD3), BRD3R (BRD3 with Reprogramming activity), as a reprogramming factor. BRD3R positively regulates mitosis during reprogramming, upregulates a large set of mitotic genes at early stages of reprogramming, and associates with mitotic chromatin. Interestingly, a set of the mitotic genes upregulated by BRD3R constitutes a pluripotent molecular signature. The two BRD3 isoforms display differential binding to acetylated histones. Our results suggest a molecular interpretation for the mitotic advantage in reprogramming, and show that mitosis may be a driving force of reprogramming. Overall design: Human BJ cells transduced with lentiviral particles of the conventional reprogramming factors (OCT3/4, SOX2 and KLF4) were used as controls. Two types of controls were used: 1) BJ transduced with OSK (OCT4, SOX2 and KFL4) viruses; 2) BJ cells transduced with OSK plus GFP viruses. Experimental treatment was BJ cells transduced with OSK plus BRD3R viruses. RNA was extracted from cells at day 3 of reprogramming because the reprogramming cells are still homogeneous and transgenes are well expressed at this time point.

Description
KATP opposes depolarization of cells in the heart, smooth muscle, and other tissues by permitting the efflux of potassium ions and this efflux is evidently required to prevent unopposed vasoconstriction and insufficiency of coronary artery blood flow triggered by one or more cytokines induced in response to LPS. The cytokine(s) involved must elicit a dysfunctional response in the Kir6.1-deficient environment, and to gain further insight into the effects of the mutation, we examined the transcriptional status of whole heart, isolated from normal C57BL/6J mice or KcnJ8Md/Md mice, before and after injection of 1 g of LPS

Description
Rad21 is a subunit of cohesin. The main function of cohesin is to hold replicated chromosomes together until cells divide, but it also plays a role in gene expression. To find out which genes might be regulated by cohesin, a study was conducted to look for global changes in gene expression in zebrafish embryos lacking cohesin component Rad21.
Publication Title
Positive regulation of c-Myc by cohesin is direct, and evolutionarily conserved.
