Description
Non-metastatic 2 (NME2) is an established metastases suppressor in multiple human cancer types. However, the molecular mechanisms of NME2 action remain insufficiently resolved. We recently validated the transcription regulatory activity of NME2 with respect to control of proto-oncogene c-MYC expression. We hypothesized that large scale transcriptional potential of NME2 may be at the core of metastases suppression by NME2. Using a combination of high throughput genomic assays such as chromatin immunoprecipitation coupled to promoter array hybridization (ChIP-chip) and gene expression profiling, we characterized the transcriptional roles of NME2. Specifically, we found a set of NME2 target genes which changed expression upon selective depletion of NME2 in a lung cancer cell line, A549. The analysis of gene expression suggested control of various biological pathways esp. cell adhesion and apoptosis by NME2 target genes which could be important in regulation of metastases.

Description
It is widely believed that reorganization of nucleosomes result in availability of binding sites that engage transcription factors during eukaryotic gene regulation. Recent findings, on the other hand, suggest that transcription factors induced as a result of physiological perturbations directly (or in association with chromatin modifiers) may alter nucleosome occupancy to facilitate DNA binding. Although, together these suggest a close relationship between transcription factor binding and nucleosome reorganization, the nature of the inter-dependency, or to what extent it influences regulatory transcription is not clear. Moreover, since most studies used physiolgical pertubations that induced multiple transcription factor chromatin modifiers, the relatively local (or direct) effect of transcription factor binding on nucleosome occupancy remains unclear. With these in mind, we used a single transcription factor to induce physiological changes, representing metastatic (aggressive cancer) and the corresponding non-metastatic state, in human cancer cells. Following characterization of the two states (before and after induction of the transcription factor) we determined: (a) genome wide binding sites of the transcription factor, (b) promoter nucleosome occupancy and (c) transcriptome profiles, independently in both conditions. Interestingly, we find only ~20% of TF binding results from nucleosome reorganization - however, almost all corresponding genes were transcriptionally altered. Whereas, in cases where TF-occupancy was independent of nucleosome repositioning (in close vicinity), or co-occurred with nucleosomes, only a small fraction of the corresponding genes were expressed/repressed. Together, these indicate a model where TF occupancy only when coupled with nucleosome repositioning in close proximity is transcriptionally active. This, to our knowledge, for the first time also helps explain why genome wide TF occupancy (e.g., from ChIP-seq) is typically associated with only a small fraction of genes that change expression.

Description
Pax6 is a highly conserved transcription factor among vertebrates and is important in various aspects of the central nervous system (CNS) development. However, the gene regulatory circuitry of Pax6 underlying these functions remains elusive. We find that, following expression in neural progenitor cells, Pax6 targets many promoters embedded in an active chromatin environment. Intriguingly, many of these sites are also bound by another progenitor factor, Sox2, which cooperates with Pax6 in gene regulation. A combinatorial analysis of Pax6 binding dataset with transcriptome changes in Pax6-deficient neural progenitors reveals a dual role for Pax6, in which it activates the neuronal (ectodermal) genes while concurrently represses the mesodermal and endodermal genes thereby ensuring the unidirectionality of lineage commitment towards glutamatergic neuronal differentiation. Furthermore, Pax6 is critical for inducing activity of transcription factors that elicit neurogenesis and repress others that promote non-neuronal lineages. In addition to many established downstream effectors, Pax6 directly binds and activates a number of genes that are specifically expressed in neural progenitors but have not been previously implicated in neurogenesis. The in utero knockdown of one such gene, Ift74, during brain development impairs polarity and migration of new-born neurons. These findings demonstrate new aspects of the gene regulatory circuitry of Pax6, revealing how it functions to control neuronal development at multiple levels to ensure unidirectionality and proper execution of the neurogenic program.

Illumina HiSeq 2000
Description
Rapid nerve conduction in the CNS is facilitated by the insulation of axons with myelin, a specialized oligodendroglial compartment distant from the cell body. Myelin is turned over and adapted throughout life; however, the molecular and cellular basis of myelin dynamics is not well understood. Hypothesizing that only a fraction of all myelin-related mRNAs has been identified so far, we subjected myelin biochemically purified from mouse brains at various ages to RNA sequencing. We find a surprisingly large pool of transcripts abundant and/or enriched in myelin. Furthermore, a comprehensive analysis showed that the myelin transcriptome is closely related to the myelin proteome but clearly distinct from the transcriptomes of oligodendrocytes and brain tissues, suggesting that the incorporation of mRNAs into the myelin compartment is highly selective. The mRNA-pool in myelin displays maturation-dependent dynamic changes of composition, abundance, and functional associations; however ageing-dependent changes after 6 months of age were minor. We suggest that this transcript pool provides a basis for the local modulation of myelin turnover and adaptation, i.e. in the individual internode. Overall design: A light-weight membrane fraction enriched for myelin was purified from mouse brains as described previously (Jahn et al., Neuromethods, 2013). For RNA-Seq, RNA was isolated from myelin of mice from indicated ages.
