Description
Previous studies in our laboratory have shown that low folate diet (control diet with 2mg folate/kg, low folate diet with 0.3mg folate/kg) can induce intestinal tumors in BALB/c mice. In addition, we reported that C57Bl/6J mice did not form tumors under the same conditions.

Description
BRAF oncogene is mutated in ~50% of human cutaneous melanomas. The BRAF V600E mutation leads to constitutive activation of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway fuelling cancer growth. The inhibitors of BRAF V600E (BRAFi), lead to massive and high response rate. However, BRAFi-resistant cells that operate as a cellular reservoir for relapses severely limits the duration of the clinical response. The recent depiction of these resistant cells did not identify druggable targets to ensure long-term survival under BRAFi. Here, we identify the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) as a target to eradicate resistant cells. We show that BRAFi bind to AhR on a new site, named beta-pocket, and reprogram gene expression independently of its partner ARNT. beta-pocket activation induces a pigmentation signature, which is associated to BRAFi-induced cell death of sensitive BRAF V600E melanoma cells and tumour shrinkage. Intriguingly, in resistant cells, BRAFi does not induced a pigmentation signature since these cells display another AhR program; AhR-ARNT dependant. By this way, AhR directs several key BRAFi-resistant genes. At single cell level, this constitutive activation of AhR-ARNT is identified in rare cells before BRAFi-treatment of melanoma tumours and an enrichment of these alpha-cells is observed under BRAFi. Our data strongly suggest that an endogenous AhR ligand activates AhR-ARNT via the canonical AhR pocket (alpha-pocket), thus favouring BRAFi-resistant gene expression. Importantly, we identify the clinically compatible AhR antagonist, the resveratrol (RSV), able to abrogate the deleterious constitutive activation of AhR and to reduce the cellular reservoir for the relapse. Taken together, this work reveals that constitutive AhR signalling drives BRAFi resistance and constitutes a therapeutic target to achieve long-term patient survival under BRAFi. More broadly, the constitutive activation of AhR by endogenous ligands is in line with the ability of UV radiations to generate potent AhR ligands and to favour melanoma onset. Overall design: Total RNA isolated from 12 human melanoma cell lines (501Mel) after different treatments was subjected to multiplexed RNA-sequencing using Illumina NextSeq500 sequencing tehnology.

We exposed wild-type Vibrio cholerae E7496, multiple Vibrio cholerae virulence factor deleted genes with intact hemolysin A gene [CVD109] and without hemolysin A gene [CVD110] in E7946, and E.coli OP50 to wild-type C.elegans N2 for 18 hours. We used microarrays to detail the global gene expression and identified distinct classes of up-regulated and down-regulated genes during this process.

Description
ER17p is a synthetic peptide corresponding to the sequence P295LMIKRSKKNSLALSLT311 of the estrogen receptor alpha (ER) and initially synthesized to mimic its calmodulin binding site. ER17p was subsequently found to elicit estrogenic responses in E2-deprived ER-positive breast cancer cells, increasing proliferation and E2-dependent gene transcription. Surprisingly, in E2-supplemented media, ER17p induced apoptosis and modified the actin network, influencing thereby cell motility. Here, we report that ER17p induces a massive early (3h) transcriptional activity in breast cancer cell lines SKBR3). Remarkably, about 75% of the significantly modified transcripts were also modified by E2, confirming the pro-estrogenic profile of ER17p. The different ER spectra of the used cell lines allowed us to extract a specific ER17p signature related to ER and its variant ER36. With respect to ER, the peptide activates nuclear (cell cycle, cell proliferation, nucleic acid and protein synthesis) and extranuclear signaling pathways. In contrast, through ER36 it exerts inhibitory events on inflammation and cell cycle and inhibition of EGFR signaling. This is the first work reporting ER36 specific transcriptional effects. The fact that a number ER17p-induced transcripts is different from those activated by E2 revealed that the apoptosis and actin modifying effects of ER17p are independent from the ER-related actions of the peptide.

Description
Tha altered biological pathways in Epidermolysis bulloda simplex, a rare monogenetic skin disease, have not been well characterized. Thus, the goal of this study is to characterize the expression profile of EBS patients compared with normal subjects using genomic expression analyses. Microarray analyses were performed with RNA isolated from skin biopsies. Robust multiarray analysis (RMA) normalization and Smyths moderated t test were used to select differentially expressed genes. Expression profiling comparisons show that 28 genes are differentially expressed in EBS patients compared to control subjects and 41 genes in EBS-DM compared to their matched controls. Nine genes involved in fatty acid metabolism and 2 genes in epidermal keratinisation are common altered expressed genes between the two subgroups. These two biological pathways contribute both to the formation of the cell envelope barrier and seem to be defective in the severe EBS phenotype. This study demonstrates, for the first time, the relevance of metabolic cluster, specifically fatty acid metabolism in EBS biology. Difference of expression for three (AWAT2, ELOVL , and SPRR4 ) of the five selected genes were validated using real-time reverse transcriptionpolymerase chain reaction. To our knowledge, the distinctive pattern of gene expression that characterizes EBS versus healthy skin tissue has never been reported.
