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
CTSK-mGFP positive cells from Day 6 old mouse femurs were sorted as single cells into 384 well plates pre-loaded with unique barcoded RT-primers. After sorting, cells were snap frozen on dry ice before being submitted to the New York Genome Center (NYGC) for cDNA synthesis and library preparation. The FACS profile for all the sored cells were collected to co-relate with gene expression. Overall design: Mouse femur was obtained from mice within the same litter. Femur samples was subjected to collagenase digestion, and single cell suspension was obtained. The samples were stained for FACS antibodies and single cell sorting was performed into two individual 384 well plates. The experiment has two replicates from two independant animals. The samples were always kept discrete.

Description
AZD1208 is a novel PIM kinase inhibitor that we have shown inhibits tumorigenesis in tissue recombination models, Myc-CaP allograft models, and human prostate cancer xenografts. We sought to determine the intracellular pathways that are responsible for the anti-tumor effect. To this end we used the tissue recombination protocol to implant MYCCaP cells into castrated mice. MYCCaP cells are an androgen-dependent mouse cell line that overexpresses the oncogene MYC. The mice used for implantation were castrated, so any tumors that result from the grafting procedure are androgen-independent. The grafted mice were divided into a control population receiving vehicle, and a test population receiving AZD1208. The tumors were harvested and in vitro cell lines were made. The new cell lines have been perpetuated in androgen-depleted media.

Description
GS-5759 is a bifunctional ligand composed of a quinolinone-containing pharmacophore found in several 2-adrenoceptor agonists linked covalently to a phosphodiesterase 4 inhibitor (PDE4) related to GSK 256066 by a pent-1-yn-1-ylbenzene spacer. The object of the study was to detemine if gene expression changes induced by GS-5759 were replicated by a 2-adrenoceptor agonist (indacaterol; Ind) and a PDE4 inhibitor (GSK 256066; GSK) in combination.

Description
A specific set of genes involved in regulating cellular immune response, antigen presentation, and T cell activation and survival were down-regulated 7 days after LVAD placement. 6 months following LVAD placement, the expression levels of these genes were significantly increased; yet importantly, remained significantly lower than age and sex-matched samples from healthy controls. Overall design: Examination of the effect of LVAD implant on peripheral blood transcriptome. Blood was drawn before LVAD placement, 7 days post implant, and 180 days post implant. RNA sequencing was performaed on all samples.
Publication Title
Identification of differentially expressed transcripts and pathways in blood one week and six months following implant of left ventricular assist devices.

Description
Mononuclear phagocytes are a diverse cell family that occupy all tissues and assume numerous functions to support tissue and systemic homeostasis. Our ability to investigate the roles of individual subsets is limited by an absence of approaches to ablate gene function within specific sub-populations. Using Nr4a1-dependent Ly6Clow monocytes as a representative cell type we show that enhancer deletion addresses these limitations. Combining ChIP-Seq and molecular approaches we identify a single, conserved, sub-domain within the Nr4a1 enhancer that is essential for Ly6Clow monocyte development. Mice lacking this enhancer lack Ly6Clow monocytes but retain Nr4a1 gene expression in macrophages during steady state and in response to LPS. Nr4a1 is a key negative regulator of inflammatory gene expression and decoupling these processes allows Ly6Clow monocytes to be studied without confounding influences. Enhancer targeting possesses greater specificity than cre recombinase-mediated gene deletion, providing a route to generate loss-of-function models in closely related cell types. Overall design: Paired End mRNA sequencing of FACS purified primary murine MDP, cMoP, Ly6Chi and Ly6Clow monocytes from the bone marrow and Ly6Chi and Ly6Clow monocytes from the peripheral blood

Description
Whether the nuclear fraction of mTOR plays a role in prostate cancer (PCa) and can participate in direct transcriptional crosstalk with the androgen receptor (AR) is as yet unknown. The intersection of gene expression, DNA binding-events, and metabolic studies uncovered the existence of a nuclear mTOR-AR transcriptional axis dictating the metabolic rewiring and nutrient usage of PCa cells. In human clinical specimens, nuclear localization of mTOR was significantly associated with metastasis and castration-resistant PCa (CRPC), correlating with a sustained metabolic gene program governed by mTOR in that context. This study thus uncovers an unexpected function of mTOR and underscores a paradigm shift from AR to mTOR as being the master transcriptional regulator of cell metabolism during PCa progression.

Description
Only rodent embryonic stem (ES) cells can self-renew in the pristine state of pluripotency called the naive or ground state. Human ES (hES) cells self-renew in the so-called primed state of pluripotency, which is an obstacle to research, hindering cost-effective cultivation in media devoid of animal-derived products, genetic stability, and genome engineering. Here we show that forced expression of a hormone-dependent STAT3-ERT2, in combination with LIF and inhibitors of MEK and GSK3beta, allows hES cells to escape from the primed state, and enter a new state designated as TL2i, characterized by the activation of STAT3 target genes, regular passaging by single cell dissociation, and the expression of naive state-specific transcription factors.

Reinforcement of STAT3 activity reprogrammes human embryonic stem cells to naive-like pluripotency.
