Description
Different mutations in the gene encoding humans IGF-I cause intrauterine growth retardation, postnatal growth failure, microcephaly, mental retardation, bilateral sensorineural deafness and multiple dysmorphic features. Insight into the role of IGFs in inner ear cochlear ganglion neurogenesis has come from the study of genetically modified mice. Postnatal cochlear development is severely impaired in mice Igf1-/-, which develop smaller cochlea and cochlear ganglia, an immature tectorial membrane and they display a significant decrease in the number and size of auditory neurons.

Description
Purpose: The goals of this study were to identify preferential gene expression signatures that are unique to Tregs in neonatal skin relative to peripheral Tregs Methods: Tregs from telogen skin and SDLNs were purified by cell sorting (using the Treg GFP reporter mouse line Foxp3-DTR/GFP) to generate mRNA transcription profiles. Results: Transcriptional profiling revealed a unique neonatal skin Treg signature relative to SDLN Tregs Conclusion: Our study represents the first detailed analysis of the neonatal skin Treg transcriptome. Overall design: mRNA profiles of skin and SDLN Tregs isolated from 13 day old Foxp3-DTR/GFP mice.

Description
The indisputable role of epigenetics in cancer and the fact that epigenetic alterations can be reversed have favored development of epigenetic drugs. In this study, we have design and synthesize potent novel, selective and reversible chemical probes that simultaneously inhibit the G9a and DNMTs methyltransferase activity. In vitro treatment of hematological neoplasia (Acute Myeloid Leukemia-AML, Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia-ALL and Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma-DLBCL) with the lead compound CM-272, inhibited cell proliferation and promoted apoptosis, inducing interferon stimulated genes and immunogenic cell death. CM-272 significantly prolonged survival of AML, ALL and DLBCL xenogeneic models. Our results represent the discovery of first-in-class dual inhibitors of G9a/DNMTs and establish this chemical series, as a promising therapeutic tool for unmet needs in hematological tumors.

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
Heart failure is a leading cause of mortality and morbidity in the developed world, partly because mammals lack the ability to regenerate heart tissue. Whether this is due to evolutionary loss of regenerative mechanisms present in other organisms or to an inability to activate such mechanisms is currently unclear. Here, we decipher mechanisms underlying heart regeneration in adult zebrafish and show that the molecular regulators of this response are conserved in mammals. We identified miR-99/100 and Let-7a/c, and their protein targets smarca5 and fntb, as critical regulators of cardiomyocyte dedifferentiation and heart regeneration in zebrafish. Although human and murine adult cardiomyocytes fail to elicit an endogenous regenerative response following myocardial infarction, we show that in vivo manipulation of this molecular machinery in mice results in cardiomyocyte dedifferentiation and improved heart functionality after injury. These data provide a proof-of-concept for identifying and activating conserved molecular programs to regenerate the damaged heart. Overall design: RNA-Seq expression profiles of rat cardiomyocytes after knockdown of miR-99/100 and Let-7 miRNAs

Description
We report a novel technique to reprogram human fibroblasts into endothelial and smooth muscle cells using partial iPSC reprogramming and chemically defined media. Using appropriate media conditions for differentiation of human pluripotent cells to CD34+ vascular progenitor cells, we show that temporary expression of pluripotent transcription factors and treatment with chemically-defined media, will induce differentiation of human fibroblasts to CD34+ vascular progenitor cells. Sorted CD34+ cells can then be directed to differentiate into vascular endothelial cells expressing a variety of smooth muscle markers.

Description
Cancer originates as the progressive accumulation of genetic mutations in proto-oncogenes and tumor suppressors. However, the early events underlying tumor initiation remain largely elusive, mostly due to the general lack of information regarding the cells-of-origin responsible for tumor formation as well as the precise impacts of genetic insults on tumor initiation in vivo. Here, we demonstrate that Sox2-positive (Sox2+) adult stem cells are responsible for epithelial squamous tumor formation. Conditional expression of oncogenic Kras (KrasG12D) and knockout of p53 (also known as Trp53) in Sox2+ cells quickly and specifically resulted in the formation of squamous tumors in the forestomach and esophagus. GFP-based lineage tracing experiments demonstrated that Sox2+ cells are the cells-of-origin of squamous tumors in the esophagus and forestomach. Of note, our data showed that p53 deletion alone did not suffice for tumor initiation. On the contrary, tumor initiation was observed upon KrasG12D activation whereas p53 deletion further contributed to the malignancy of the generated tumors, pointing out distinct roles for Kras activation and p53 deletion in squamous tumor formation and progression, to which a multihit carcinogenesis model can be applied. Global gene expression analysis revealed secreting factors upregulated in the generated tumors induced by oncogenic Kras, which contribute to tumor progression. Taken together, these results demonstrate that epithelial squamous tumors can specifically originate as a consequence of defined genetic mutations in a Sox2+ cell population and highlight the connections between proliferative stem cells and tumor development in vivo.
