Description
Cancer cells have abnormal gene expression profiles, however, the transcription factors and the architecture of the regulatory network that drive cancer specific gene expression is often not known. Here we studied a model of Ras-driven invasive tumorigenesis in Drosophila epithelial tissues and combined in vivo genetics with high-throughput sequencing and computational modeling to decipher the regulatory logic of tumor cells. Surprisingly, we discovered that the bulk of the tumor specific gene expression is driven by an ectopic network of a few transcription factors that are overexpressed and/or hyperactivated in tumor cells. These factors are Stat, AP-1, the bHLH proteins Myc and AP-4, the nuclear hormone receptor Ftz-f1, the nuclear receptor coactivator Taiman/AIB1, and Mef2. Notably, many of these transcription factors are also hyperactivated in human tumors. Bioinformatics analysis predicted that these factors directly regulate the majority of the tumor specific gene expression, that they are interconnected by extensive cross-regulation, and that they show a high degree of co-regulation of target genes. Indeed, the factors of this network were required in multiple epithelia for tumor growth and invasiveness and knock-down of individual factors caused a reversion of the tumor specific expression profile, but had no observable effect on normal tissues. We further found that the Hippo pathway effector Yki/Sd was strongly activated in tumor cells and initiated cellular reprogramming by activating several transcription factors of this network. Thus, modeling regulatory networks identified an ectopic yet highly ordered network of master regulators that control tumor cell specific gene expression. Overall design: RNA-seq gene expression profiling across Drosophila 3rd instar larval wild type wing discs and genetic perturbations of wts.

Description
The aim of this data set is to perform a differential expression analysis between wild type eye-antennal imaginal disc and discs that are homozygous glass mutant gl[60j]. This data set is used to validate Glass target gene predictions identified by i-cisTarget on a set of conserved eye-specific genes. Overall design: RNA-seq was performed in eye-antennal imaginal discs of two D.melanogaster wild-type strains (Canton S and strain RAL-208 (Jordan et al. 2007, Ayroles et al. 2009)), representing two biological replicates; and in glass mutant (gl[60j]) discs for two technical replicates.

Description
Genome control is operated by transcription factors (TF) controlling their target genes by binding to promoters and enhancers. Conceptually, the interactions between TFs, their binding sites, and their functional targets are represented by gene regulatory networks (GRN). Deciphering in vivo GRNs underlying organ development in an unbiased genome-wide setting involves identifying both functional TF-gene interactions and physical TF-DNA interactions. To reverse-engineer the GRN of eye development in Drosophila, we performed RNA-seq across 72 genetic perturbations and sorted cell types, and inferred a co-expression network. Next, we derived direct TF-DNA interactions using computational motif inference, ultimately connecting 241 TFs to 5632 direct target genes through 24926 enhancers. Using this network we found network motifs, cis-regulatory codes, and new regulators of eye development. We validate the predicted target regions of Grainyhead by ChIP-seq and identify this factor as a general co-factor in the eye network, being bound to thousands of nucleosome-free regions. Overall design: RNA-seq gene expression profiling across Drosophila 3rd instar larval wild type tissues (brain, eye-antennal and wing discs), specific cell types from the eye-antennal disc, sorted by FACS, and genetic perturbations (TF mutants, TF over-expression, and TF RNAi knockdown).
