Description
CHARGE syndrome is caused by heterozygous mutations in a chromatin remodeler CHD7 and characterized by a set of malformations historically postulated to arise from defects in the neural crest formation during embryogenesis. To better delineate neural crest defects in CHARGE syndrome, we generated induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) from two patients with typical syndrome manifestations, and characterized neural crest cells differentiated in vitro from these iPSCs (iPSC-NCCs). We found that expression of genes associated with cell migration was altered in CHARGE iPSC-NCCs as compared to control iPSC-NCCs. Consistently, CHARGE iPSC-NCCs showed defective delamination, migration and motility in vitro, and their transplantation in ovo revealed overall defective migratory activity in the chick embryo. Altogether, our results support the historical inference that CHARGE syndrome patients have defects in neural crest migration and provide the first successful application of patient-derived iPSCs in modeling craniofacial disorders.

Description
We profiled and quantitated miRNAs in two skin tumors (Basal cell carcinoma and Merkel cell carcinoma) and identified tumor-specific miRNAs. We used these tumor-specific miRNAs to guide development of miRNA fluorescence in situ hybridization. Overall design: 2 barcoded sequencing runs, including 40 unique samples (36 used in manuscript). The details of each sample can be found in Supplementary Tables S1 and S2.

Description
To discover novel growth factors for hematopoietic stem- and progenitor cells (HSPCs), we have assessed cytokine responses of cord blood (CB)-derived CD34+ cells in a high-content growth factor screen. We identify the immunoregulatory chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 28 (CCL28) as a novel growth factor that directly stimulates proliferation of primitive hematopoietic cells from different ontogenetic origins.

Description
Dramatic changes of gene expressions are known to occur in human endometrial stromal cells (ESC) during decidualization. The changes in gene expression are associated with changes of chromatin structure, which are regulated by epigenetic mechanisms such as histone modifications. Here, we investigated genome-wide changes in histone modifications and mRNA expressions associated with decidualization in human ESC using chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) combined with next-generation sequencing. ESC were incubated with estradiol and medroxyprogesterone acetate for 14 days to induce decidualization. The ChIP-sequence data showed that induction of decidualization increased H3K27ac and H3K4me3 signals in many genomic regions but decreased in only a few regions. Most (80%) of the H3K27ac-increased regions and half of the H3K4me3-increased regions were located in the distal promoter regions (more than 3 kb upstream or downstream of the transcription start site). RNA-sequence showed that induction of decidualization up-regulated 881 genes, 223 of which had H3K27ac- or H3K4me3-increased regions in the proximal and distal promoter regions. Induction of decidualization increased the mRNA levels of these genes more than it increased the mRNA levels of genes without H3K27ac- or H3K4me3-increased regions. Pathway analysis revealed that up-regulated genes with the H3K27ac- or H3K4me3-increased regions were associated with insulin signaling. These results show that histone modification statuses genome-widely change in human ESC by induction of decidualization. The main changes of histone modifications are increases of H3K27ac and H3K4me3 in both the proximal and distal promoter regions, which are involved in the up-regulation of gene expression that occurs during decidualization. Overall design: mRNA profiles of human endometrial stromal cells with and without EP inductions for 2 individuals. (EP induction: induction with estradiol (10-8 M) and medroxyprogesterone acetate (10-6 M))

Description
Neural stem/progenitor cells were isolated from the lateral ventricle wall of 4-6 week-old CD1 mice and grown as neurospheres under low density culture conditions. Test cells were transduced with bicistronic retroviral constructs for the over-expression of Bmi1 together with eGFP, and control cells were transduced with an empty vector construct expressing eGFP only. To identify genes, which are regulated by BMI1 in neural stem/progenitor cells, the gene expression profiles of neurosphere cells over-expressing Bmi1 were compared empty vector control cells using Affymetrix Gene mouse ST1.0 arrays

Description
We report that developmental competition between sympathetic neurons for survival is critically dependent on a sensitization process initiated by target innervation and mediated by a series of feedback loops. Target-derived nerve growth factor (NGF) promoted expression of its receptor TrkA in neurons and prolonged TrkA-mediated signals. NGF also controlled expression of brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and neurotrophin-4 (NT4), which, through the receptor p75, can kill neighboring neurons with low retrograde NGFTrkA signaling whereas neurons with high NGFTrkA signaling are protected. Perturbation of any of these feedback loops disrupts the dynamics of competition. We suggest that three target-initiated events are essential for rapid and robust competition between neurons: sensitization, paracrine apoptotic signaling, and protection from such effects.

The goal of the current study was to identify changes in gene expression in the stomach muscularis that may be contributing to altered gastric motility in gastroparesis and obesity. Overall design: Stomach muscularis biopsies were obtained from human subjects with low BMI and normal gastric motility (low BMI control, n=6), subjects with high BMI but normal gastric motility (high BMI control, n=6), subjects with low BMI and gastroparesis (low BMI gastroparesis, n=6) and from subjects with high BMI and gastroparesis (High BMI gastroparesis, n=4). RNA was isolated and subjected to whole transcriptome sequencing.
