Description
We used an improved INTACT (Isolation of Nuclei Tagged in A specific Cell Type) technique to isolate RNA from purified nuclei from different neuronal populations of the Drosophila brain. Using RNA-seq, we determined gene expression and A-to-I RNA editing levels at editing sites across nine distinct neuronal sub-populations and a pan-neuronal control. Overall design: We crossed UAS-unc84-2XGFP transgenic flies with 10 different GAL4 drivers (Dh44-GAL4, NPF-GAL4, NPFR-GAL4, Tdc2-GAL4, Crz-GALl4, TH-GAL4, Trh-GAL4, Fru-GAL4, OK107-GAL4, and elav-GAL4), immunoprecipitated tagged nuclei and extracted RNA. Three independent replicates of each each cross were performed to isolate RNA for RNA-sequencing.

Description
Identifying the functions of proteins, which define specific subnuclear structures and territories, is important for understanding eukaryotic nuclear dynamics. Sp100 is a prototypical protein of ND10/PML bodies and co-localizes with the proto-oncogenic protein PML and Daxx, proteins with critical roles in oncogenic transformation, interferon-mediated viral resistance and response to PML-directed cancer therapeutics. Sp100 isoforms contain PHD, Bromo and HMG domains and are highly sumoylated at ND10/PML bodies, all characteristics suggestive of a role in chromatin mediated gene regulation. However, no clear role for the Sp100 component of PML bodies in oncogenesis has been defined. Using isoform-specific knockdown techniques, we show that most human diploid fibroblasts, which lack Sp100, rapidly senesce and discuss gene expression changes associated with this rapid senescence.

Description
Epigenetic alterations appear to modulate Myc signaling. We investigated the role of the histone demethylase JMJD2B in Myc-mediated neuroblastoma pathogenesis. We demonstrate that Myc physically interacts with and recruits this epigenetic modifier, which removes repressive H3K9 methyl marks from Myc-target genes. JMJD2B regulates neuroblastoma proliferation and, together with MYCN amplification, identifies a subgroup of poor prognosis patients. We identify a novel histone demethylase inhibitor, ciclopirox, which targets JMJD2B and, consequently, Myc signaling, thereby inhibiting neuroblastoma proliferation and inducing differentiation. In xenograft studies, genetic and pharmacologic inhibition of JMJD2B resulted in significant tumor growth restriction. Our findings provide insight into epigenetic regulation of Myc via histone methylation and proof-of-concept for pharmacologic inhibition of histone demethylases to target Myc signaling in cancer.

Description
We report a 29-gene diagnostic signature, which distinguishes individuals with NSCLC from controls with non-malignant lung disease with 91% Sensitivity, 79% Specificity and a ROC AUC of 92%. Accuracy on an independent set of 18 NSCLC samples from the same location was 79%. Samples from an independent location including 12 stage 1 NSCLC and 15 controls, achieved an accuracy of 74%. A study of 18 paired samples taken pre and post surgery shows that the PBMC associated cancer signature is significantly reduced after tumor removal, supporting the hypothesis that the signature detected in pre-surgery samples is a response to the presence of the tumor.

Description
To generate an unbiased view of changes to the retinal gene network in Neurog2 retinal mutants, we generated and compared the P2 transcriptomes from control, heterozygote and mutant mice. A pair of P2 retinas from each biologic replicate were used to produce libraries for high throughput sequencing (n = 5 biologic replicates/genotype). Reads were aligned with BWA and Bowtie programs to the mm10 genome. Aligned reads were then analyzed for differentially expressed transcripts using the CuffDiff program in the Galaxy online bioinformatics package (www.usegalaxy.org). Overall design: Total RNA from Neurog2CKO/CKO(wildtype; n = 5), Chx10Cre;Neurog2CKO/+(heterozygote; n = 5), and Chx10Cre;Neurog2CKO/CKO(mutant; n = 5) P2 retinas.
