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
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
Breast cancer is a heterogeneous disease for which prognosis and treatment strategies are largely governed by the receptor status (estrogen, progesterone and Her2-neu) of the tumor cells. Gene expression profiling of whole breast tumors further stratifies breast cancer into several molecular subtypes which also co-segregate with the receptor status of the tumor cells. We postulated that cancer associated fibroblasts (CAFs) within the tumor stroma may exhibit subtype specific gene expression profiles and thus contribute to the biology of the disease in a subtype specific manner. Several studies have reported gene expression profile differences between CAFs and normal breast fibroblasts but in none of these studies were the results stratified based on tumor subtypes. To address whether gene expression in breast cancer associated fibroblasts varies between breast cancer subtypes, we compared the gene expression profiles of early passage primary CAFs isolated from twenty human breast cancer samples representing three main subtypes; seven ER+, seven triple negative (TNBC) and six Her2+. We observed significant expression differences between CAFs derived from Her2+ breast cancer and CAFs from TNBC and ER+ cancers, particularly in pathways associated with cytoskeleton and integrin signaling. In the case of Her2+ breast cancer, the signaling pathways found to be selectively up regulated in CAFs may contribute to the more invasive properties and unfavorable prognosis of Her2+ breast cancer. These data demonstrate that in addition to the distinct molecular profiles that characterize the neoplastic cells, CAF gene expression is also differentially regulated in distinct subtypes of breast cancer.

Description
Mitochondria control bioenergetics and cell fate decisions, but whether they also participate in extra-organelle signaling is not understood. Here, we show that interference with cyclophilin D (CypD), a mitochondrial matrix protein and apoptosis regulator, causes accelerated cell proliferation and enhanced cell migration and invasion. These responses are associated with global transcriptional changes in CypD-/- cells, predominantly affecting chemokines and their receptors, and resulting in increased activating phosphorylation of Signal Transduction and Activator of Transcription 3 (STAT3). In turn, STAT3 signaling promotes increased proliferation of CypD-/- cells via accelerated S-phase entry and supports Cxcl12-directed paracrine cell motility. Therefore, mitochondria-to-nuclei transcriptional signaling globally affects cell division and motility. As immunosuppressive therapies often target CypD, this pathway may predispose the tissue microenvironment of these patients to oncogenic transformation.

Description
Both p150 and p110 isoforms of ADAR1 convert adenosine to inosine in double-stranded RNA (dsRNA). The p150 isoform suppresses the dsRNA sensing mechanism that activates the interferon induction mediated by the MDA5-MAVS signaling. In contrast, the biological function of the p110 isoform localized in the nucleus remains largely unknown. Here we show that stress-activated phosphorylation of ADAR1p110 by MKK6/p38 MAP kinases promotes its binding to Exportin-5 and nuclear export to the cytoplasm. Once translocated to the cytoplasmic, ADAR1p110 suppresses apoptosis of stressed cells by protecting many anti-apoptotic gene transcripts that contain 3'UTR dsRNA structures such as those consisting of inverted Alu repeats. ADAR1p110 competitively inhibits binding of Staufen1 to the 3'UTR dsRNAs and antagonizes the Staufen1-mediated mRNA decay mechanism. Our studies revealed a new stress response mechanism regulated by MAP kinases, in which ADAR1p110 translocates to the cytoplasm and regulates a class of mRNAs required for survival of stressed cells. Overall design: Examination of transcription changes due to ADAR1 and double ADAR1/STAU1 knockdown using RNA-seq

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.

Description
Many new alternative splice forms have been detected at the transcript level using next generation sequencing (NGS) methods, especially RNA-Seq, but it is not known how many of these transcripts are being translated. Leveraging the unprecedented capabilities of NGS, we collected RNA-Seq and proteomics data from the same cell population (Jurkat cells) and created a bioinformatics pipeline that builds customized databases for the discovery of novel splice-junction peptides. Results: Eighty million paired-end Illumina reads and ~500,000 tandem mass spectra were used to identify 12,873 transcripts (19,320 including isoforms) and 6,810 proteins. We developed a bioinformatics workflow to retrieve high-confidence, novel splice junction sequences from the RNA data, translate these sequences into the analogous polypeptide sequence, and create a customized splice junction database for MS searching. Overall design: Jurkat T-cell mRNA was analyzed on an Illumina HiSeq2000. ~80 million paired end reads (2x200bp, ~350bp lengths) were collected.
