Description
There is emerging evidence that, beyond their cholesterol lowering properties, statins exhibit important antileukemic effects in vitro and in vivo, but the precise mechanisms by which they generate such responses remain to be determined. We have previously shown that statins promote differentiation of acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) cells and enhance generation of all-trans-retinoic acid (ATRA)-dependent antileukemic responses. We now provide evidence that statin-dependent leukemic cell differentiation requires engagement and activation of the JNK kinase pathway. In addition, in experiments to define the molecular targets and mediators of statin-induced differentiation we found a remarkable effect of statins on ATRA-dependent gene transcription, evidenced by the selective induction of over 400 genes by the combination of atorvastatin and ATRA. Altogether, our studies identify novel statin molecular targets linked to differentiation, establish that statins modulate ATRA-dependent transcription, and suggest that combined use of statins with retinoids may provide a novel approach to enhance antileukemic responses in APL and possibly other leukemias.

Description
There is some emerging evidence that members of the Schlafen (SLFN) family of proteins mediate antineoplastic responses, but the mechanisms accounting for these effects are not known. We provide evidence that human SLFN5, an interferon (IFN)- inducible member of the family, exhibits key roles in controlling motility and invasiveness of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) cells. Our studies define the mechanism by which this occurs, demonstrating that SLFN5 negatively controls expression of matrix metalloproteinases (MMP)-1 and -13 and several other genes involved in the control of malignant cell motility. Importantly, our data establish that SLFN5 expression correlates with a better overall survival in a large cohort of patients with RCC. The inverse relationship between SLFN5 expression and RCC aggressiveness raises the possibility of developing unique therapeutic approaches in the treatment of RCC, by modulating SLFN5 expression. Overall design: Examination of 2 SLFN5 knockdown cells and 2 controls, in triplicate.

Description
Host defense by the innate immune system requires the establishment of antimicrobial states allowing cells to cope with microorganisms before the onset of the adaptive immune response. Interferons (IFN) are of vital importance in the establishment of cell-autonomous antimicrobial immunity. Speed is therefore an important attribute of the cellular response to IFN. With much of the antimicrobial response being installed de novo, this pertains foremost to gene expression, the rapid switch between resting-state and active-state transcription of host defense genes. Our results show how mRNA expression changes upon IFNb or IFNg treatment in wild typ and Irf9-/- bone marrow derived macrophages. Overall design: Methods: Bone marrow derived macrophage mRNA of wild-type (WT) and Irf9 knock out mice (IRF9-/-) untreated, as well as 2h IFNb and IFNg treated were generated by deep sequencing, in triplicate, using Illumina sequencing.

Description
The transcriptional repressor ZBTB18 was overexpressed in the brain tumor xenoline JX6 by lentiviral transduction. Three independent transduction were performed (biological replicates) and analyzed by gene expression aray. Gene set enrichemnt analysis (GSEA) showed changes in the expression of mesenchymal signature. A subset of genes was further valiadted by qPCR. These results indicate a role of ZBTB18 as repressor of mesenchymal genes in Glioblastoma.
