Description
In the nervous system, neural stem cells (NSC) are necessary for the generation of new neurons and for cognitive function. Here we show that FoxO3, a member of a transcription factor family known to extend lifespan in invertebrates, regulates the NSC pool. We find that adult FoxO3-/- mice have fewer NSC in vivo than wild type counterparts. NSC isolated from adult FoxO3-/- mice have decreased self-renewal and an impaired ability to generate different neural lineages. Identification of the FoxO3-dependent gene expression profile in NSC suggests that FoxO3 regulates the NSC pool by inducing a program of genes that preserves quiescence, prevents premature differentiation, and controls oxygen metabolism. The ability of FoxO3 to prevent the premature depletion of NSC might have important implications for counteracting brain aging in long-lived species.

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
The goal of this study was to investigate the effects of vairous diets on the expression of genes involved in intermediary metabolism in liver. Adult wild type male mice (3 for each group) were fed with the corresponding diet for two weeks, and then liver samples were collected. Total RNA was isolated by the RNAzol B reagent, and pellet was disolved in DEPC-treated water. Total RNA was isolated using RNA Bee reagent (Tel-Test Inc., Friendswood, TX) per the manufacturers protocol. RNA concentrations were quantified using a NanoDrop Spectrophotometer (NanoDrop Technologies, Wilmington, DE) at a wavelength of 260 nm. The integrity of the total RNA samples was evaluated by formaldehyde-agarose gel electrophoresis, and confirmed by visualization of 18S and 28S rRNA bands. The gene expression was determined by Affymetrix Mouse 430 2.0 Gene Expression Microarray. Nine different diets were used: Diet 1. TD.84224. EFA Deficient diet; Diet 2. TD 97070. High fat diet: Diet 3. TD.88137. Adjusted Calories Diet (42% from fat) (Western Diet); Diet 4. TD.02028. Atherogenic Rodent Diet; Diet 5. TD.89247. 60% Fructose Diet; Diet 6. TD.94048. AIN-93M Purified Diet, Diet 7. Current rodent diet used in LAR; Diet 8. DHA-supplemented diet; Diet 9. Diet-restriction: 75% of the diet consumed by ad lib feeding. Mice (n=3/diet) were fed one of these diets (Harlan Laboratories) for 3 weeks. All mice were euthanized in the morning (8:0010:00 A.M.) and blood and tissue samples were collected. All procedures were approved in accordance with Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee guidelines.

Description
Aberrant signal transduction contributes substantially to leukemogenesis. The Janus kinase 1 (JAK1) gene encodes a cytoplasmic tyrosine kinase that noncovalently associates with a variety of cytokine receptors and plays a nonredundant role in lymphoid cell precursor proliferation, survival, and differentiation. Somatic mutations in JAK1 occur in individuals with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). JAK1 mutations were more prevalent among adult subjects with the T cell precursor ALL, where they accounted for 18% of cases, and were associated with advanced age at diagnosis, poor response to therapy, and overall prognosis

ALL-associated JAK1 mutations confer hypersensitivity to the antiproliferative effect of type I interferon.

Description
The approval of genetically modified (GM) crops is preceded by years of intensive research to demonstrate safety to humans and environment. We recently showed that in vitro culture stress is the major factor influencing proteomic differences of GM vs. non-GM plants. This made us question the number of generations needed to erase such memory. We also wondered about the relevance of alterations promoted by transgenesis as compared to environment-induced ones.

Description
We had previously discovered that the transcription factor OVO-like 1 (OVOL1) was highly induced during trophoblast differentiation. In this study, we used an lentiviral shRNA strategy to decrease OVOL1 expression in BeWo trophoblast cells. Control cells were transduced with shRNAs targeting no known mammalian transcript (shCont). Following stimulation of differentiation (48h exposure to 8-bromo-cyclic adenosine monophosphate), a RNA-seq approach was used to determine global transcript differences in OVOL1-knockdown cells compared to control cells. Overall design: Trophoblast cells transduced with control shRNAs were used as controls. Cells transduced with shRNAs targeting OVOL1 were used as treatment. All cells received 250 uM 8-bromo-cyclic adenosine monophosphate to stimulate differentiation. Three independent replicates of control and treatment groups were analyzed.

BeWo trophoblast cells differentiate in response to expsure to cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) analogs. Differentiation includes syncytialization (fusion) and hormonogenesis. The goal of this study was to globally determine transcripts differentially expressed in BeWo trophoblast cells following a 24-h exposure to 250 uM 8-bromo-cAMP.

Description
Compared to other fish models, miRNAs are currently most extensively studied and identified in zebrafish. Approximately 415 dre-miRNAs have been identified and several articles have studied some aspect of miRNA function in zebrafish such as their role in basic development and in disease pathways. However, this field of research is in its infancy and the function of several dre-miRNAs, as well as their tissue-specific expression profile, are yet to be defined. In this study, the liver and gut were dissected (wildtype/untreated fish), total and small RNA were extracted, mRNA and miRNA libraries constructed and subjected to high throughput sequencing (HTS) using standard approaches. We carried out differential expression (DE) analysis and compared liver miRNA expression to gut using established bioinformatics pipelines. Through bioinformatics analysis, known and putative novel miRNAs were identified. Finally, we constructed a “miRNA matrix” that connects both total RNA-Seq and miRNA-Seq. Overall design: Examination of transcriptome in an in vivo model organism in two defined tissues, liver and gut.
