Description
The purpose of this study was to identify transcripts differentially expressed in zebrafish embryos exposed to two oxygenated PAHs, 1,9-benz-10-anthrone and benzanthracene-7,12-dione, which cause abnormal development. Overall design: We used RNA-seq (Illumina HiSeq) to identify mRNA profiles of whole zebrafish embryos exposed to 10 µM 1,9-benz-10-anthrone, benzanthracene-7,12-dione or vehicle control (1% DMSO) from 6-48 hours post fertilization

Description
The biologic basis for NSCLC metastasis is not well understood. Here we addressed this deficiency by transcriptionally profiling tumors from a genetic mouse model of human lung adenocarcinoma that develops metastatic disease owing to the expression of K-rasG12D and p53R172H. As a tool to investigate the biologic basis for metastasis in this model and to query the roles of specific genes in this signature, we isolated adenocarcinoma cell lines from these mice and used them to develop a syngeneic tumor model in wild-type littermates. Transcriptional profiling of the highly metastatic subcutaneous tumors revealed genes that regulate, among other processes, epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition and intra-tumoral inflammation and angiogenesis, whereas the non-metastatic tumors did not.

Description
Metastatic disease is a primary cause of cancer-related death, and factors governing tumor cell metastasis have not been fully elucidated. Here we addressed this question by using tumor cell lines derived from mice that develop metastatic lung adenocarcinoma owing to expression of mutant K-ras and p53. A feature of metastasis-prone tumor cells that distinguished them from metastasis-incompetent tumor cells was plasticity in response to changes in their microenvironment. They transited reversibly between epithelial and mesenchymal states, forming highly polarized epithelial spheres in 3-dimensional culture that underwent epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) following treatment with transforming growth factor-beta or injection into syngeneic mice. This plasticity was entirely dependent upon the microRNA-200 family, which decreased during EMT. Forced expression of miR-200 abrogated the capacity of these tumor cells to undergo EMT, invade, and metastasize and conferred transcriptional features of metastasis-incompetent tumor cells. We conclude that microenvironmental cues direct tumor metastasis by regulating miR-200 expression.

Description
The role of microbe in promoting the initiation of gastric cancer (GC), the third most lethal cancer worldwide, are ill-defined. Here, we found that tumor size and weight in gp130F/F mouse stomach at condition were significantly reduced compared to those of at SPF condition. To investigate the underlying mechanism and how host genes were regulated in the presence/absence of microbe, arrays were performed in stomach tissue from gp130F/F and WT at 4 week old at SPF and GF conditions.

Description
Tumor cells that give rise to metastatic disease are a primary cause of cancer-related death and have not been fully elucidated in patients with lung cancer. Here, we addressed this question by using tissues from a mouse that develops metastatic lung adenocarcinoma owing to expression of mutant K-ras and p53. We identified a metastasis-prone population of tumor cells that differed from those with low metastatic capacity on the basis of having sphere-forming capacity in Matrigel cultures, increased expression of CD133 and Notch ligands, and relatively low tumorigenicity in syngeneic mice. Knockdown of jagged1 or pharmacologic inhibition of its downstream mediator phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase abrogated the metastatic but not the tumorigenic activity of these cells. We conclude from these studies on a mouse model of lung adenocarcinoma that CD133 and Notch ligands mark a population of metastasis-prone tumor cells and that the efficacy of Notch inhibitors in metastasis prevention should be explored.

Description
The Zeb1 transcriptional repressor plays a key role in metastasis through the down-regulation of genes that are strong inducers of epithelial differentiation and inhibitors of stem-ness. Here we report that Zeb1 controls the expression of numerous oncogenic and tumor suppressive microRNAs (miRs). Zeb1 stimulated pro-migratory cytoskeletal processes by down-regulating miR-34a and activated Rho GTPases through Arhgap1, a Cdc42 GTPase activating protein and novel miR-34a target gene. Poor-prognosis human lung adenocarcinomas were highly enriched in a cytoskeletal gene signature activated by miR-34a down-regulation. These findings suggest that Zeb1 regulates a miR network and drives pro-migratory cytoskeletal processes through miR-34a.

Description
We performed a genome-scale CRISPR screen in a KRAS-mutant pancreatic cancer cell line treated with the MEK inhibitor trametinib, and found that loss of the transcriptional repressor CIC confers resistance to MEK inhibition. We determined that CIC loss also confers resistance to MEK or BRAF inhibition in lung cancer, colorectal cancer, and melanoma cell lines with mutant RAS or BRAF. CIC is a transcriptional repressor that is phosphorylated and inhibited by the MAPK pathway. We hypothesized that inhibition of the MAPK pathway would lead to activation of CIC and repression of CIC target genes. Loss of CIC would therefore restore expression of these genes, conferring drug resistance. To identify the relevant CIC target genes that mediate trametinib resistace, we generated 4 Cas9-expressing cell lines from different lineages and with different RAS or RAF mutations, and generated control (gGFP) or CIC-knockout (gCIC) cell lines. We treated cells with DMSO or trametinib for 24 hours, and performed NRA-seq. We found that trametinib treatment reduces expression of at least one member of the PEA3 family of ETS transcription factors (ETV1, ETV4, and ETV5) in all cell lines assessed, and that loss of CIC results in maintained expression of these genes despite MEK inhibition. We further validated that ETV1, 4, and 5 expression was necessary for resistance mediated by CIC loss; and that ETV1, 4, or 5 expression was sufficient to confer trametinib resistance. Overall design: 4 Cas9-expressing human cancer cell lines (A549, CALU1, HCT116, PATU8902) were used to generate 3 isogenic cell lines with intact CIC (gGFP-1) or knocked out CIC (gCIC-1 or gCIC-2). Each of these 12 cell lines were treated with DMSO or trametinib for 24 hours (duplicates)

Description
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and primary lateral sclerosis are two syndromic variants within the motor neurone disease spectrum. Whilst primary lateral sclerosis is associated with loss of upper motor neurons and a more benign disease course up to 17yrs, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is caused by loss of both upper and lower motor neurons and has an average disease course of 2-3 years. The majority of cases are sporadic, thereby limiting the availability of cellular models for investigating pathogenic disease mechanisms.
