Affymetrix Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 Array (hgu133plus2)
Description
Our previous study using nude rats revealed that the parental JDCaP xenografts predominantly expressed full-length androgen receptor (AR) whereas the relapsed JDCaP xenografts after castration acquired AR splice variants including AR-V7 and ARv567es. To understand molecular mechanisms underlying the acquisition of AR splice variants in the JDCaP model, we performed microarray analysis using RNA samples of the xenografts without castration (Parent), the relapsed xenografts overexpressing full-length AR and AR-V7 (ARhiV7hi), and the relapsed xenografts expressing ARv567es (ARv567es).
Publication Title

Description
Global DNA hypomethylation and DNA hypermethylation of promoter regionsincluding tumor suppressor genesare frequently detected in human cancers. Although many studies have suggested a contribution to carcinogenesis, it is still unclear whether the aberrant DNA hypomethylation observed in tumors is a consequence or a cause of cancer. We found that overexpression of Stella (also known as PGC7, Dppa3), a maternal factor required for the maintenance of DNA methylation in early embryos, induced global DNA hypomethylation and transformation in NIH3T3 cells. This hypomethylation was due to the binding of Stella to Np95 (also known as Uhrf1, ICBP90) and the subsequent impairment of Dnmt1 localization. In addition, enforced expression of Stella enhanced the metastatic ability of B16 melanoma cells through the induction of metastasis-related genes by inducing DNA hypomethylation of their promoter regions. Such DNA hypomethylation itself causes cellular transformation and metastatic ability. These data provide new insight into the function of global DNA hypomethylation in carcinogenesis.

Through RNA sequencing and gene ontology analyses, we report that immune activation is elicited in the spleen of 4 HIV-1-infected humanized mice when compared to 4 mock-infected humanized mice. Overall design: mRNA expression profiles in the splenic human mononuclear cells of HIV-1-infected humanized mice at 6 weeks post-infection (n=4) and mock-infected humanized mice (n=4) were generated by RNA sequencing. RNA was extracted using QIAamp RNA Blood Mini kit (Qiagen). RNA sequencing was conducted in Medical & Biological Laboratories, co (Nagoya, Japan).

Description
Hematopoietic cells arise from spatiotemporally restricted domains in the developing embryo. Although studies of non-mammalian animal and in vitro embryonic stem cell models suggest a close relationship among cardiac, endocardial, and hematopoietic lineages, it remains unknown whether the mammalian heart tube serves as a hemogenic organ akin to the dorsal aorta. Here, we examined the hemogenic activity of the developing endocardium. Mouse heart explants generated myeloid and erythroid colonies in the absence of circulation. Hemogenic activity arose from a subset of endocardial cells in the outflow cushion and atria earlier than in the aorta-gonad-mesonephros region, and was transient and definitive in nature. Interestingly, key cardiac transcription factors, Nkx2-5 and Isl1, were expressed in and required for the hemogenic activity of the endocardium. Together, these data suggest that a subset of endocardial and yolk sac endothelial cells expressing cardiac markers serve as a de novo source for transient definitive hematopoietic progenitors.

Description
Initially, ATL cell lines (MT-1 or KK-1) were stably transfected with reporter plasmid for HTLV-1 Tax expression, and single clones were isolated . This reporter in composed of Tax responsive element upstream of d2EGFP fluorescent protein. d2EGFP is expressed upon Tax expression in any individual cell. To compare transcriptomes of Tax(-) and Tax(+) cells, FACS sorting was done for d2EGFP(-) and d2EGFP(+) populations and RNA sequencing was performed. Overall design: Two ATL reporter cell lines were used in this study (MT1GFP and KK1GFP). For Each cell line, two samples were analyzed: d2EGFP(-) and d2EGFP(+). In total 4 samples were used in this study.
Publication Title
Sporadic on/off switching of HTLV-1 Tax expression is crucial to maintain the whole population of virus-induced leukemic cells.

Description
C-C chemokine ligand 2 (CCL2) plays pivotal roles in tumor formation, progression, and metastasis. Although CCL2 expression has been found to be dependent on the nuclear factor (NF)B signaling pathway, the regulation of CCL2 production in tumor cells has remained unclear. We have identified a noncanonical pathway for regulation of CCL2 production that is mediated by mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) but independent of NF-B. Multiple phosphoproteomics approaches identified the transcription factor forkhead box K1 (FOXK1) as a downstream target of mTORC1. Activation of mTORC1 induces dephosphorylation of FOXK1 resulting in transactivation of the CCL2 gene. Inhibition of the mTORC1-FOXK1 axis attenuated insulin-induced CCL2 production as well as the accumulation of tumor-associated monocytes-macrophages and tumor progression in mice. Our results suggest that FOXK1 directly links mTORC1 signaling and CCL2 expression in a manner independent of NF-B, and that CCL2 produced by this pathway contributes to tumor progression.

Description
Metabolism is tightly coupled with the process of aging, and tumorigenesis. However, the mechanisms regulating metabolic properties in different contexts remain unclear. Cellular senescence is widely recognized as an important tumor suppressor function and accompanies metabolic remodeling characterized by increased mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS). Here we showed retinoblastoma (RB) is required for the increased OXPHOS in oncogene-induced senescent (OIS) cells. Combined metabolic and gene expression profiling revealed that RB mediated activation of the glycolytic pathway in OIS cells, causing upregulation of several glycolytic genes and concomitant increases in the levels of associated metabolites in the glycolytic pathway. Knockdown of these genes by small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) resulted in decreased mitochondrial respiration, suggesting that RB-mediated glycolytic gene activation promotes metabolic flux into the OXPHOS pathway. These results suggest that coordinate transcriptional activation of metabolic genes by RB enables OIS cells to maintain metabolically bivalent states that both glycolysis and OXPHOS are highly active. Collectively, our findings demonstrated a previously unrecognized function of RB in OIS cells.
