Affymetrix Human Gene 1.1 ST Array (hugene11st)
Description
Whole-genome expression studies in peripheral tissues of patients affected by schizophrenia (SCZ) can provide new insights into the molecular basis of the disorder and innovative biomarkers that may be of great usefulness in the clinical practice. Recent evidence suggests that skin fibroblasts could represent a non-neural peripheral model useful to investigate molecular alterations in psychiatric disorders.

Description
miR-92 enhances c-Myc induced apoptosis. In the R26MER/MER mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs), a switchable variant of Myc, MycERT2, was knocked into the genomic region downstream of the constitutive Rosa26 promoter, allowing acute activation of c-Myc by 4-OHT-induced nuclear translocation. This in vitro system nicely recapitulates c-Myc-induced apoptosis, as activated MycERT2 induces strong p53-dependent apoptosis in response to serum starvation. Enforced miR-92 expression in three independent R26MER/MER MEF lines significantly enhanced Myc-induced apoptosis.

Description
During malignant disease progression, the extracellular matrix (ECM) of epithelial tumors accumulates inter-molecular cross-links between collagen strands; these cross-links enhance ECM stiffness and trigger tumor cell invasion and dissemination, but the mechanisms that regulate intra-tumoral collagen maturation have not been fully defined. Using a new mouse model of metastatic lung adenocarcinoma driven by mutant K-ras expression and Cdkn1a inactivation, we showed that tumor cell invasion and metastasis are driven by high expression of lysyl hydroxylase 2 (LH2), an enzyme that hydroxylates telomeric lysine (Lys) residues on collagen.

Description
Malignant neoplasms adapt and evolve in response to changes in oncogenic signaling, tumor microenvironmental stresses,and therapeutic interventions. Cancer cell plasticity in response to these evolutionary pressures is foundational to tumor progression and maintenance and therapeutic resistance. Here, to elucidate the underlying molecular and cellularmechanisms of cancer cell plasticity, integrated system-level, functional and genetic analyses were conducted in a conditional oncogenic Kras model of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), amalignancy displaying remarkable phenotypic diversityand morphological heterogeneity. In this model, stochastic extinction of oncogenic Krassignaling and emergence ofKras-independent escaper populationsis associated withde-differentiation and aggressive biological behavior.Transcriptomic and functional analyses ofKras-independent escapers reveal mesenchymal reprogramming driven by aSmarcb1/Mycnetwork and independence from MAPK signaling.A somatic mosaic model of PDAC which can track evolving subpopulations shows that depletion of Smarcb1 activates theMyc network which results in an anabolic switch to increased protein metabolism and the adaptive activation of ERstress-induced survival pathways.Theelevated protein turnover made mesenchymal sub-populationshighly susceptible topharmacological and genetic perturbation of the cellular proteostatic machinery andthe IRE1-/MKK4 arm of the ER stress response pathway. Specifically, combination regimens impairing the unfolded protein responses (UPR) and the ER stress response can block the emergence of aggressive mesenchymal subpopulations in murine andpatient-derived PDACmodels. These molecular and biological insights inform a potential therapeutic strategy fortargeting aggressive mesenchymal features of PDAC.

Description
Secreted proteins serve pivotal roles in the development of multicellular organisms, acting as structural matrix, extracellular enzymes and signal molecules. In this study we demonstrate, unexpectedly, that PGC-1, a critical transcriptional co-activator of metabolic gene expression, functions to down-regulate expression of diverse genes encoding secreted molecules and extracellular matrix (ECM) components to modulate the secretome. We show that both endogenous and exogenous PGC-1 down-regulate expression of numerous genes encoding secreted molecules. Mechanistically, results obtained using mRNA stability measurements as well as intronic RNA expression analysis are consistent with a transcriptional effect of PGC-1 on expression of genes encoding secreted proteins. Interestingly, PGC-1 requires the central heat shock response regulator HSF1 to affect some of its targets, and both factors co-reside on several target genes encoding secreted molecules in cells. Finally, using a mass spectrometric analysis of secreted proteins, we demonstrate that PGC-1 modulates the secretome of mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs).
