Description
Lung cancer is closely associated with chronic inflammation, but the mechanism underlying such inflammation has not been clearly defined. The lung is a mucosal tissue colonized by a diverse bacterial community at the steady state, and pulmonary infections commonly present in lung cancer patients are linked to clinical outcomes. Here we provide evidence that local microbiota provoke inflammation associated with lung adenocarcinoma by activating lung-resident gamma-delta T cells. Germ-free or antibiotic-treated mice were significantly protected from lung tumor initiation and progression induced by Kras mutation and p53 loss. Mechanistically, commensal bacteria stimulated My88-dependent IL-1beta and IL-23 production from myeloid cells, inducing proliferation and activation of V?6+Vd1+ ?d T cells that produced IL-17 and other effector molecules to promote inflammation and tumor cell proliferation. Our findings provide a clear link between local microbiota-immune crosstalk and lung tumorigenesis, and thereby define key cellular and molecular mediators that may serve as effective targets in lung cancer treatment and prevention. Overall design: ?dT cells were isolated from tumor-bearing lungs or spleens of KP mice. Their transcriptional profiles are compared with RNA-seq.

Description
Polycomb-group proteins form multimeric protein complexes involved in transcriptional silencing. The Polycomb Repressive complex 2 (PRC2) contains the Suppressor of Zeste-12 protein (Suz12) and the histone methyltransferase Enhancer of Zeste protein-2 (Ezh2). This complex, catalyzing the di- and tri-methylation of histone H3 lysine 27, is essential for embryonic development and stem cell renewal. However, the role of Polycomb-group protein complexes in the control of the intestinal epithelial cell (IEC) phenotype is not known. We investigated the impact of Suz 12 depletion on gene expression in IEC-6 cells.

Description
Identfification of MEF2A target genes using ChIP-exo and RNA-seq in skeletal muscle and primary cardiomyocytes. MEF2 plays a profound role in the regulation of transcription in cardiac and skeletal muscle lineages. To define the overlapping and unique MEF2A genomic targets, we utilized ChIP-exo analysis of cardiomyocytes and skeletal myoblasts. Of the 2783 and 1648 MEF2A binding peaks in skeletal myoblasts and cardiomyocytes, respectively, 294 common binding sites were identified. Genomic targets were compared to differentially expressed genes in RNA-seq analysis of MEF2A depleted myogenic cells. Overall design: The effect of MEF2A gene silencing on gene expression in myoblasts was assessed at 48 hr DM. Up and downregulated genes were then compared to MEF2A target genes identified in ChIP-exo analysis of 48 hr DM C2C12 myoblasts cells and primary cardiomyocytes.

Description
While skeletal myogenesis is tightly coordinated by myogenic regulatory factors including MyoD and myogenin, chromatin modifications have emerged as vital mechanisms of myogenic regulation. We have previously established that bexarotene, a clinically approved agonist of retinoid X receptor, promotes the specification and differentiation of skeletal muscle lineage. Here, we examine a genome-wide impact of rexinoids on myogenic differentiation through integral RNA-seq and ChIP-seq analyses. We found that bexarotene promotes myoblast differentiation through the coordination of exit from the cell cycle and the activation of muscle-related genes. We uncovered a new mechanism of rexinoid action which is mediated by the nuclear receptor and largely reconciled through a direct regulation of MyoD gene expression. In addition, we determined a rexinoid-responsive residue-specific histone acetylation at a distinct chromatin state associated to MyoD and myogenin. Thus, we provide novel molecular insights into the interplay between retinoid X receptor signaling and chromatin states pertinent to myogenic programs in early myoblast differentiation. Overall design: We have profiled the global effect of bexarotene, a selective agonist of retinoid X receptor on myoblast gene expression by RNA-seq analysis using RNA isolated from C2C12 myoblasts following 12 or 24 hours of differentiation in the presence and absence of 50 nM bexarotene, with 2 biological replicates. Proliferating myoblasts were used as controls.

Description
Histone deacetylases (Hdac) remove acetyl groups from proteins, influencing global and specific gene expression. Hdacs control inflammation, as shown by Hdac inhibitor-dependent protection from DSS-induced murine colitis. While tissue-specific Hdac knockouts show redundant and specific functions, little is known of their intestinal epithelial cell (IEC) role. We have shown previously that dual Hdac1/Hdac2 IEC-specific loss disrupts cell proliferation and determination, with decreased secretory cell numbers and altered barrier function. We thus investigated how compound Hdac1/Hdac2 or Hdac2 IEC-specific deficiency alters the inflammatory response. Floxed Hdac1 and Hdac2 and villin-Cre mice were interbred. Compound Hdac1/Hdac2 IEC-deficient mice showed chronic basal inflammation, with increased basal Disease Activity Index (DAI) and deregulated Reg gene colonic expression. DSS-treated dual Hdac1/Hdac2 IEC-deficient mice displayed increased DAI, histological score, intestinal permeability and inflammatory gene expression. In contrast to double knockouts, Hdac2 IEC-specific loss did not affect IEC determination and growth, nor result in chronic inflammation. However, Hdac2 disruption protected against DSS colitis, as shown by decreased DAI, intestinal permeability and caspase-3 cleavage. Hdac2 IEC-specific deficient mice displayed increased expression of IEC gene subsets, such as colonic antimicrobial Reg3b and Reg3g mRNAs, and decreased expression of immune cell function-related genes. Our data show that Hdac1 and Hdac2 are essential IEC homeostasis regulators. IEC-specific Hdac1 and Hdac2 may act as epigenetic sensors and transmitters of environmental cues and regulate IEC-mediated mucosal homeostatic and inflammatory responses. Different levels of IEC Hdac activity may lead to positive or negative outcomes on intestinal homeostasis during inflammation

Description
Our study demonstrates that neutrophils infiltrate early-stage PTEN-deficient uterine tumors and oppose tumor growth and malignant progression by inducing detachment and ultimately promoting cell death of tumor cells. This RNA-seq study examined the expression profiles of these uterine epithelial tumor cells in the presence versus absence of neutrophil infiltration. Overall design: Tumor cells from 4-week-old tumor-bearing neutrophil-sufficient versus -deficient mice were isolated by fluorescence activated cell sorting, RNA was isolated, and expression profiles were analyzed by deep sequencing.

Description
Acetylation and deacetylation of histones and other proteins depend on the opposing activities of histone acetyltransferases and histone deacetylases (HDACs), leading to either positive or negative gene expression changes. The use of HDAC inhibitors (HDACi) has uncovered a role for HDACs in the control of proliferation, apoptosis and inflammation. However, little is known of the roles of specific HDACs in intestinal epithelial cells (IEC). We investigated the consequences of ablating both Hdac1 and Hdac2 in murine IECs gene expression.
