Affymetrix Mouse Gene 1.1 ST Array (mogene11st)
Description
Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPAR) is a key regulator of hepatic fat oxidation that serves as an energy source during starvation. Vanin-1 has been described as a putative PPAR target gene in liver, but its function in hepatic lipid metabolism is unknown. We investigated the regulation of vanin-1, and total vanin activity, by PPAR in mice and humans. Furthermore, the function of vanin-1 in the development of hepatic steatosis in response to starvation was examined in Vnn1 deficient mice, and in rats treated with an inhibitor of vanin activity. Liver microarray analyses reveals that Vnn1 is the most prominently regulated gene after modulation of PPAR activity. In addition, activation of mouse PPAR regulates hepatic- and plasma vanin activity. In humans, consistent with regulation by PPAR, plasma vanin activity increases in all subjects after prolonged fasting, as well as after treatment with the PPAR agonist fenofibrate. In mice, absence of vanin-1 exacerbates the fasting-induced increase in hepatic triglyceride levels. Similarly, inhibition of vanin activity in rats induces accumulation of hepatic triglycerides upon fasting. Microarray analysis reveal that the absence of vanin-1 associates with gene sets involved in liver steatosis, and reduces pathways involved in oxidative stress and inflammation. We show that hepatic vanin-1 is under extremely sensitive regulation by PPAR and that plasma vanin activity could serve as a readout of changes in PPAR activity in human subjects. In addition, our data propose a role for vanin-1 in regulation of hepatic TG levels during fasting.

Description
Vanin1, a regulator of vitamin B5 metabolism, is expressed by sarcoma tumors. We evaluated its impact on sarcoma growth by using sarcoma cell lines derived from p16p19Vnn1-deficient mice and further transduced with an oncogenic RasV12 oncogene (R tumors) in the presence or not of a catalytically active (VR tumors) or mutated (VdR tumors) Vnn1 isoform.

Description
Drosophila miRNAs show distinct change in isoform distribution pattern with age. Some miRNAs show accumulation of the short isoforms, while other miRNAs show the accumulation of the long isoforms with age. The increase of the long isoforms of some miRNAs reflects increased 2''-O-methylated miRNA isoforms with age. The increase in 2''-O-methylated miRNA isoforms reflected increased Ago2-loading, but not Ago1-loading of specific miRNA isoforms with age. This raised a question on whether there is global shift in small RNA loading pattern between Ago1 and Ago2 with age. To investigate change in small RNA loading pattern between Ago1 and Ago2 with age, we performed small RNA deep-sequencing of Ago1 vs Ago2-IP small RNAs at 3d and 30d in Drosophila. This analysis revealed global increase of miRNA loading into Ago2, but not into Ago1 with age. Overall design: 3d and 30d FLAG-HA-Ago2 male flies were collected. Ago1 and Ago2 were immunoprecipitated by anti-Ago1 and anti-FLAG M2 beads respectively. RNA was purified from the beads, P32-labeled, and small RNA fraction was gel-purififed. Small RNA libraries were prepared using Illumina''s TruSeq small RNA sample preparation kit (#RS-200-0012, Illumina, Inc. San Diego, CA), following the manufacturer''s protocol. The libraries were multiplexed and sequenced on HiSeq2000 platform (Illumina).

Description
nbr/CG9247 gene regulates 3''end heterogeneity of a subset of miRNAs. It is not clear how broad this effect is on small RNA population. To address this, we compared small RNA population in wild-type and tmr[f02257] mutants. This approach identified more miRNAs whose 3''end heterogeneity was affected in nbr[f02257] mutants. Overall design: 2-3 day old control (w homogeneous strain Bloomington stock center 5905) and nbr[f02257] null mutant flies were collected. nbr[f02257] line was in the homogenous (Bloomington stock center stock 5905) background through a minimum of 5 backcrosses. Total RNA from whole flies was extracted using TRIzol reagent (Invitrogen). 40ug of total RNA from each genotype was used for small RNA library preparation with Small RNA Sample Prep kit (v1.5) (Illumina).

Description
Aberrant splicing is a hallmark of leukemias with mutations in splicing factor (SF)-encoding genes. Here we investigated its prevalence in pediatric B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemias (B-ALL), where SFs are not mutated. By comparing them to normal pro-B cells, we found thousands of aberrant local splice variations (LSVs) per sample, with 279 LSVs in 241 genes present in every comparison. These genes were enriched in RNA processing pathways and encoded ~100 SFs, e.g. hnRNPA1. hnRNPA1 3'UTR was most pervasively misspliced, yielding the transcript subject to nonsense-mediated decay. Thus, we knocked it down in B-lymphoblastoid cells, identified 213 hnRNPA1-dependent splicing events, and defined the hnRNPA1 splicing signature in pediatric leukemias. One of its elements was DICER1, a known tumor suppressor gene; its LSVs involved the 5' UTR, suggestive of splicing as a mechanism of translational deregulation. Additionally, we searched for LSVs in other leukemia and lymphoma drivers and discovered 81 LSVs in 41 genes. 77 LSVs were confirmed using two large independent B-ALL RNA-seq datasets. In fact, the twenty most common B-ALL drivers showed higher prevalence of aberrant splicing than of somatic mutations. Thus, post-transcriptional deregulation of SF can drive widespread changes in B-ALL splicing and likely contribute to disease pathogenesis. Overall design: We profiled hnRNPA1 Ctrl and hnRNPA1 knockdown with 2 replicates each.

Description
The polarization of macrophages into an anti-inflammatory or regulatory phenotype plays an important role in resolving inflammation. PGE2 regulates macrophage polarization via a PKA dependent pathway. PKA phosphorylates SIKs, inhibiting their ability to phosphorylate CRTC3 in cells. This in turn allows CRTC3 to translocate to the nucleus where it acts as a co-activator with the transcription factor CREB to induce IL-10 transcription. In line with this we find that either genetic or pharmacological inhibition of SIKs mimics the effect of PGE2 on IL-10 production.
