Description
Some of the functions and mechanisms of PPAR?-mediated regulation of vascular homeostasis have been revealed, the potential role of PPAR? in angiogenesis is obscure. In human ECs, PPAR?-deficiency was studied using siRNA strategy and RNA sequencing was utilized to reveal angiogenesis-associated targets for PPARg. Overall design: Our aim is to reveal the possible role of PPARy in angiogenesis.

Description
Ischemic preconditioning represents the most powerful mechanism of cardioprotection. The mechanisms mediating the second window of preconditioning (SWOP) differ from those mediating first window preconditioning. We hypothesized that chronic ischemia induced by repetitive ischemic stimuli would be mediated by yet different molecular mechanisms. Accordingly, conscious, chronically instrumented pigs (n=5/group) were submitted to a protocol of classical SWOP (two 10-min episodes of coronary artery occlusion followed by 24 hr reperfusion) and compared to pigs submitted to repetitive occlusion/reperfusion (RCO) by repeating 6 episodes of SWOP 12 hrs apart, and to a model of repetitive coronary stenosis (RCS), in which 6 episodes of 90 min coronary stenosis were performed 12 hrs apart. Microarray analysis was performed on the three models. There was an 85% homology in gene response between both models of RCO and RCS, whereas SWOP was qualitatively different. Both models of RCO and RCS but not SWOP showed a down-regulation of genes encoding proteins involved in oxidative metabolism, and an up-regulation of genes involved in protein synthesis and unfolded protein response, autophagy, heat shock response, protein secretion, and a strong activation of the NF-B signaling pathway. Two thirds of the genes regulated in the three models showed a gradual pattern of up- or down-regulation, in which RCO was quantitatively intermediary between RCS and SWOP. Therefore, the regulated genes in response to chronic, repetitive episodes of ischemia differ radically from classical first or second window preconditioning.

Description
The molecular events at the basis of prion diseases are characterized by the involvement of several genes which are differentially regulated during the onset and the progression of the infection. Gene expression profiling studies are a powerful tool for the development of preclinical diagnostic tests. Most of the studies performed up to date utilized tissues which are not suitable for a future perspective of a rapid analysis of the infected animals and patients.

Description
Mucinous tubular and spindle cell carcinoma (MTSCC) is a relatively rare subtype of renal cell carcinoma with distinctive morphologic and cytogenetic features. Here we carry out whole exome and transcriptome sequencing of a multi-institutional cohort of MTSCC (n=22). We demonstrate the presence of either biallelic loss of Hippo pathway tumor suppressor genes (TSGs) and/or evidence of alteration of Hippo pathway genes in 85% of samples. PTPN14 (31%) and NF2 (22%) were the most commonly implicated Hippo pathway genes while other genes such as SAV1 and HIPK2 were also involved in a mutually exclusive fashion. Mutations in the context of recurrent chromosomal losses amounted to bi-allelic alterations in these TSGs. As a read-out of Hippo pathway inactivation, a majority of cases (90%) exhibited increased nuclear YAP1 protein expression. To identify transcriptional targets of the Hippo pathway in kidney we performed PTPN14 knockdown followed by RNA-seq in 2 kidney cancer cell lines (CAKI-1 and A-704) and a normal kidney epithelial cell line (HK-2). PTPN14 siRNAs were first functionally validated in a MCF-7 TEAD reporter luciferase stable cell line. Both siRNAs showed comparable knockdown efficiency and significantly increased luciferase reporter activity. In 2 of the kidney cell lines PTPN14 knockdown increased cell proliferation compared to non-target controls. While we observed excellent correlation between genes dysregulated by either PTPN14 or LATS1 knockdown within each cell line (HK2, CAKI-1 and A704), the overlap across the 3 cell lines was only 23 genes. Further, these 23 genes did not show concordant differential expression in MTSCC tumors. Overall, these results illustrate the marked tissue specificity of Hippo pathway targets.Finally, taken together, nearly all cases of MTSCC exhibit some evidence of Hippo pathway dysregulation. Overall design: Cell lines (CAKI-1, HK2 or A704) were either transfected with 2 independent siRNAs or non-target controls. Forty eight hours post transcription total RNA was isolated and subjected to RNA-seq analysis

Description
Mutations in Hedgehog (Hh) pathway genes, leading to constitutive activation of Smoothened (Smo), occur in sporadic medulloblastoma, the most common brain cancer in children. Antagonists of Smo induce tumor regression in mouse models of medulloblastoma and hold great promise for targeted therapy for this tumor. However, acquired resistance has emerged as one of the major challenges of targeted cancer therapy. Here, we describe novel mechanisms of acquired resistance to Smo antagonists in medulloblastoma. NVP-LDE225, a potent and selective Smo antagonist, inhibits Hh signaling and induces tumor regressions in allograft models of medulloblastoma that are driven by mutations of Patched (Ptch), a tumor suppressor in the Hh pathway. However, after long-term treatment, evidence of acquired resistance was observed. Genome-wide profiling of resistant tumors revealed distinct mechanisms to evade the inhibitory effects of Smo antagonists. Chromosomal amplification of Gli2, a downstream effector of Hh signaling, reactivated Hh signaling and restored tumor growth. Analysis of pathway gene-expression signatures selectively deregulated in resistant tumors identified increased phosphoinosite-3-kinase (PI3K) signaling as another potential resistance mechanism. Probing the functional relevance of increased PI3K signaling, we showed that the combination of NVP-LDE225 with the dual PI3K/mTOR inhibitor NVP-BEZ235 markedly delayed the development of resistance. Our findings have important clinical implications for future treatment strategies in medulloblastoma.
