Description
To obtain comprehensive information on 17beta-estradiol (E2) sensitivity of genes that are inducible or suppressible by this hormone, we designed a method that determines ligand sensitivities of large numbers of genes using DNA microarray and a set of simple Perl computer scripts implementing the standard metric statistics, and employed it to characterize effects of low (0-100 pM) concentrations of E2 on the transcriptome profile of MCF7/BUS human breast cancer cells, whose E2 dose-dependent growth curve saturated with 100 pM E2. Evaluation of changes in mRNA expression for all genes covered by the DNA microarray indicated that, at a very low concentration (10 pM), E2 suppressed 3~5 times larger numbers of genes than it induced, whereas at higher concentrations (30-100 pM) it induced 1.5~2 times more genes than it suppressed. Using clearly defined statistical criteria, E2-inducible genes were categorized into several classes based on their E2 sensitivities. This approach of hormone sensitivity analysis revealed that expression of two previously reported E2-inducible autocrine growth factors, TGF-? and SDF-1, was not affected by 100 pM and lower concentrations of E2 but strongly enhanced by 10 nM E2, which was far higher than the concentration that saturated the E2 dose-dependent growth curve of MCF7/BUS cells. These observations suggested that biological actions of E2 are derived from expression of multiple genes whose E2 sensitivities differ significantly and, hence, dependent on the E2 concentration especially when it is lower than the saturating level, emphasizing the importance of characterizing the ligand dose-dependent aspects of E2 actions.

Description
The noncluster homeodomain containing gene, HOX11/TLX1 (TLX1) is detected at the breakpoint of the t(10;14)(q24;q11) chromosome translocation in patients with T cell Acute Lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL). This translocation results in the inappropriate expression of TLX1 in T cells. The oncogenic potential of TLX1 was demonstrated in IgH-TLX1Tg mice, which developed mature B cell lymphoma after a long latency period suggesting the requirement of additional mutations to initiate malignancy.

Description
Contrasting with fish or amphibian, retinal regeneration from Müller glial cells is largely limited in mammals. In our quest towards the identification of molecular cues that may boost their stemness potential, we investigated the involvement of the Hippo pathway effector YAP, which we previously found to be upregulated in Müller cells following retinal injury. We report that conditional Yap deletion in Müller cells prevents the upregulation of cell cycle genes that normally accompanies reactive gliosis upon photoreceptor cell death. This occurs as a consequence of defective EGFR signaling. Consistent with a function of YAP in triggering Müller glia cell cycle re-entry, we further show that in Xenopus, a species endowed with efficient regenerative capacity, YAP is required for their injury-dependent proliferative response. Finally, and noteworthy, we reveal that YAP overactivation in mouse Müller cells is sufficient to induce their reprogramming into highly proliferative cells. Overall, we unravel a pivotal role for YAP in tuning Müller cell response to injury and highlight a novel YAP-EGFR axis by which Müller cells exit their quiescence state, a critical step towards regeneration. Overall design: Retinal samples were harvested from Yapflox/flox; Rax-CreERT2 mouse line allowing for Cre-mediated conditional gene ablation specifically in Müller cells. It is named Yap CKO while “control” refers to Yapflox/flox mice. Yap deletion was induced in fully differentiated Müller cells, through 4-hydroxytamoxifen (4-OHT) intraperitoneal injection at P10. All animals were injected with 4-OHT. Each sample included 1 frozen retina and experiments were performed in triplicate. RNA-seq transcriptome libraries were constructed from 1 ug of total RNA.

Description
For assessing the cancer-causing potential for humans of a chemical compound, the conventional approach is the use of the 2-year rodent carcinogenicity bioassay, thus alternatives such as in vitro toxicogenomics are highly desired. In the present study, the transcriptomics responses following exposure to genotoxic (GTX) and non-genotoxic (NGTX) hepatocarcinogens and non-carcinogens (NC) in five liver-based in vitro models, namely conventional and epigenetically-stabilized cultures of primary rat hepatocytes, the human hepatoma-derived HepaRG and HepG2 cell lines and the human embryonic stem cell-derived hepatocyte-like cells hES-Heps are examined and compared.

Description
Hepatic stellate cells (HSC) are the main stromal cell component of the liver. In healthy liver, quiescent HSC participate in the homeostasis of extracellular matrix (ECM) and store vitamin A. Liver injury causes HSC activation, where they participate in the wound-healing response, by producing ECM components as well as cytokines involved in liver regeneration and inflammation. Moreover, HSC are the main cell type responsible for fibrosis progression. The lack of homogeneous cultures and renewable sources of human HSC has limited the studies of the role of HSC in liver injury, repair anf fibrosis. Here we report a procedure to direct the differentiation of human pluripotent stem cells (PSC) to HSC. The HSClike population (iPS-HSC) was enriched in PDGFR positive cells that expressed key HSC markers. Whole genome transcriptomic analysis revealed that iPS-HSC displayed features intermediate to quiescent and activated HSC. Functional analysis demonstrated that iPS-HSC accumulated retinyl esters into lipid droplets and responded to injury mediators. Moreover, when cultured with HepaRG hepatocytes as aggregates, iPS-HSC support long-term hepatocyte metabolic function and respond to hepatocyte toxicity by activating and promoting organoid fibrogenesis.

Description
Macrophages in tumor microenvironment have been characterized as M1- and M2-polarized subtypes. This study sought to investigate the effects of different macrophage subtypes on the biological behavior and global gene expression profiles of lung cancer cells. Expression microarray and bioinformatics analyses indicated that the different macrophage subtypes mainly regulated genes involved in cell cycle, cytoskeletal remodeling, coagulation, cell adhesion and apoptosis pathways in A549 cells, a pattern that correlated with the altered behavior of A549 cells observed after coculture with macrophage subtypes.

Description
The mammary gland at early stages of pregnancy undergoes fast cell proliferation, yet the mechanism to ensure its genome integrity is largely unknown. Here we show that pregnancy enhances expression of genes involved in numerous pathways, including most genes encoding replisomes. In mouse mammary glands, replisome genes are positively regulated by estrogen/ERa signaling but negatively regulated by BRCA1. Upon DNA damage, BRCA1 deficiency markedly enhances DNA replication initiation. BRCA1 deficiency also preferably impairs DNA replication checkpoints mediated by ATR and CHK1 but not by WEE1, which inhibits DNA replication initiation through CDC7-MCM2 pathway and enables BRCA1-deficient cells to avoid further genomic instability. Thus, BRCA1 and WEE1 inhibit DNA replication initiation in a parallel manner to ensure genome stability for mammary gland development during pregnancy.
Publication Title
BRCA1 represses DNA replication initiation through antagonizing estrogen signaling and maintains genome stability in parallel with WEE1-MCM2 signaling during pregnancy.
