Description
The high mutation rate of HIV is linked to the generation of viruses expressing proteins with altered function whose impact on disease progression is unknown. We investigated the effects of HIV-1 viruses lacking Env, Vpr and Nef on CD4+ T cell gene expression using high-density DNA microarray analysis and functional assays.

Description
Here we tested a hypothesis that epileptogenesis influences expression pattern of genes in the basolateral amygdala that are critical for fear conditioning. Whole genome molecular profiling of basolateral rat amygdala was performed to compare the transcriptome changes underlying fear learning in epileptogenic and control animals. Our analysis revealed that after acquisition of fear conditioning 26 genes were regulated differently in the basolateral amygdala of both groups. Thus, our study provides the first evidence that not only the damage to the neuronal pathways but also altered composition or activity level of molecular machinery responsible for formation of emotional memories within surviving pathways can contribute to impairment in emotional learning in epileptogenic animals. Understanding the function of those genes in emotional learning provides an attractive avenue for identification of novel drug targets for treatment of emotional disorders after epileptogenesis-inducing insult.

Description
RNA sequencing technology has been carried out in order to evaluate mRNA expression changes after manipulation of miR-26a in both MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cell lines. Overall design: To evaluate the entire set of genes modulated by miR-26a in breast cancer, we performed RNA-seq after ectopic manipulation of this miRNA. We over-expressed miR-26a in MCF-7 epithelial cancer cell lines and also reduced its activity by stably transfecting MDA-MB-231 mesenchymal-like cancer cell lines with a specific sponge vector. GO terms and pathway enriched analysis of the transcripts that significantly change upon miR-26 ectopic manipulation implicates miR-26ab in cell cycle, apoptosis, cell spreading and cell adhesion in breast cancer
Publication Title
Sustained expression of miR-26a promotes chromosomal instability and tumorigenesis through regulation of CHFR.

Description
Aberrant Shh signaling promotes tumor growth in diverse human cancers. The importance of Shh signaling is particularly evident in medulloblastoma and basal cell carcinoma (BCC), where inhibitors targeting the Shh pathway component Smoothened (Smo) show great therapeutic promise. However, the emergence of drug resistance limits long-term efficacy and the mechanisms of resistance remain poorly understood. Using new culturing techniques, we established a cohort of Shh pathway-driven medulloblastoma cell lines derived from Ptch+/- mice. Using this new model, we identify activation of the RAS/MAPK pathway circumvents Shh pathway-dependency, drives tumor growth and enhances metastatic behavior.Together these findings reveal a critical role of RAS/MAPK pathway in drug resistance and tumor evolution of Shh pathway-dependent tumors.

Description
Combination therapy with Smo and PI3K inhibitors results in a synergistic effect in reducing tumor growth in PTEN-deficient Glioblastoma. To identify consequences of combination therapy with an Smo inhibitor and a PI3K inhibitor on a genome-wide scale, we performed Affymetrix microarrays with two different PTEN-deficient GBMs treated with single drugs or combination therapy. A small set of genes was significantly affected by combination therapy in hBT70 and/or hBT112, including several genes implicated in GBM prognosis, or identified as targets of Shh, PI3K or S6 pathways 29-33 .

Description
Survival of insects on a substrate containing toxic substances such as plant secondary metabolites or insecticides is dependent on the metabolism or excretion of those xenobiotics. The primary sites of xenobiotic metabolism are the midgut, Malpighian tubules and fat body. In general, these organs are treated as single tissues by online databases, but several studies have shown that gene expression within subsections of the midgut is compartmentalized. In this article, RNA sequencing analysis was used to investigate whole-genome expression in subsections of the third-instar larval midgut. The results support functional diversification in subsections of the midgut. Analysis of the expression of gene families that are implicated in the metabolism of xenobiotics suggests that metabolism may not be uniform along the midgut. These data provide a starting point for investigating gene expression and xenobiotic metabolism in the larval midgut. Overall design: Examination of expression in eight samples corresponding to compartments of gene expression in the midgut

Description
Protein inhibitor of activated STAT3 (PIAS3) is an endogenous inhibitor of STAT3 that negatively regulates STAT3 transcriptional activity and cell growth and demonstrates limited expression in the majority of human squamous cell carcinomas of the lung. In the present study we sought to determine if PIAS3 inhibits cell growth in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cell lines by induction of apoptosis and further determine the dependence of PIAS3 activity on p53 status by using both wild-type and p53-null cells. Our results demonstrate that over-expression of PIAS3 promotes caspase 3 activation and PARP cleavage. Furthermore, the expression of pro-survival family members Bcl-xL and Bcl-2 is decreased. These effects were observed after both transient and regulated expression of exogenous PIAS3 and were independent of p53 status. Furthermore, while p53 can promote apoptosis by inhibition of STAT3 activity, PIAS3 inhibition of STAT3 activity was also p53 independent. Microarray experiments were performed to further investigate the STAT3-dependence of PIAS3-induced apoptosis by comparing the apoptotic gene expression signature induced by PIAS3 over-expression with that induced by STAT3 siRNA. The results showed that a subset of apoptotic genes, including CIDEC and DAPK2, were uniquely expressed only after PIAS3 expression. Thus, PIAS3 may represent a promising lung cancer therapeutic target because of its p53-independent efficacy as well as its potential to synergize with direct STAT3 inhibitors.
