Description
Stem and progenitor cells are the critical units for tissue maintenance, regeneration, and repair. The activation of regenerative events in response to tissue injury has been correlated with mobilization of tissue-resident progenitor cells, which is functional to the wound healing process. However, until now there has been no evidence for the presence of cells with a healing capacity circulating in healthy conditions. We identified a rare cell population present in the peripheral blood of healthy mice that actively participates in tissue repair. These Circulating cells, with a Homing ability and involved in the Healing process (CH cells), were identified by an innovative flowcytometry strategy as small cells not expressing CD45 and lineage markers. Their transcriptome profile revealed that CH cells are unique and present a high expression of key pluripotency- and epiblast-associated genes. More importantly, CH-labeled cells derived from healthy Red Fluorescent Protein (RFP)-transgenic mice and systemically injected into syngeneic fractured wild-type mice migrated and engrafted in wounded tissues, ultimately differentiating into tissue-specific cells. Accordingly, the number of CH cells in the peripheral blood rapidly decreased following femoral fracture. These findings uncover the existence of constitutively circulating cells that may represent novel, accessible, and versatile effectors of therapeutic tissue regeneration.

Description
The different phases of tumor immunoediting in vivo were dissected thanks to a murine model of glioma induced by PDGF-B overexpression. We show that low-grade gliomas are highly immunostimulatory and that the adaptive immune system prevents the development of secondary tumor in syngeneic mice. During tumor progression, glioma cells downregulate immunostimulatory genes and the immune infiltrate becomes pro-tumorigenic. We showed that glioma cells are able to progress towards a high-grade phenotype even in immunodeficient mice, albeit more slowly and this progression invariably requires a downregulation of immunostimulatory genes.

Description
Small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs) and small Cajal body-specific RNAs are non-coding RNAs involved in the maturation of other RNA molecules. Alterations of sno/scaRNA expression may play a role in cancerogenesis. This study elucidates the patterns of sno/scaRNA expression in highly purified cells from 211 chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) patients (Binet stage A) also in comparison with those of different normal B-cell subsets. CLLs display a sno/scaRNAs expression profile similar to normal memory, nave and marginal-zone B-cells, with the exception of a few down-regulated transcripts (SNORA31, -6, -62, and -71C). Our analyses also suggest some heterogeneity in the pattern of sno/scaRNAs expression which is apparently unrelated to the major biological (ZAP-70 and CD38), molecular (IGHV mutation) and cytogenetic markers. Moreover, we found that SNORA70F was significantly down-regulated in poor prognostic subgroups and this phenomenon was associated with the down-regulation of its host gene COBLL1. Finally, we generated an independent model based on SNORA74A and SNORD116-18 expression, which appears to distinguish two different prognostic CLL groups. These data extend the view of sno/scaRNAs deregulation in cancer and may contribute to discover novel biomarkers associated with the disease and potentially useful to predict the clinical outcome of early stage CLL patients.

Description
Highly homologous B-cell receptors, stereotyped BCR, are expressed in a recurrent fraction of patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). In this study, we investigated the biological and molecular features of leukemic cells from 16 patients utilizing stereotyped subset #4 BCR (IGHV4-34) in a prospective cohort of 462 Binet stage A CLL patients. All subset #4 patients were characterized by the IGHV mutated gene configuration and by the absence of unfavorable cytogenetic lesions, and NOTCH1 and SF3B1 mutations. Gene expression profiling demonstrated a significant downregulation of WDFY4, MF2A and upregulation of PDGFA, FGFR1 and TFEC genes in leukemic cells from subset #4 compared to those from the remaining IGHV-mutated patients. Similarly, in the cells from subset #4 cases there was a specific miRNA expression pattern involving the upregulation of miR-497 and miR-29c. Furthermore transfection of miR-497 mimic in primary leukemic CLL cells induced a downregulation of BCL2, known to be a validated target of this miRNA. Our data identify a distinct gene and miRNA expression profile of the cells from subset #4 patients, providing further evidence for the putative role of BCR in shaping the features of the leukemic cells.

Description
ELABELA (ELA) is a peptide hormone required for heart development that signals via the Apelin Receptor (APLNR, APJ). ELA is also abundantly secreted by human embryonic stem cells (hESCs), which do not express APLNR. Here we show that ELA signals in a paracrine fashion in hESCs to maintain self-renewal. ELA inhibition by CRISPR/Cas9-mediated deletion, shRNA or neutralizing antibodies causes reduced hESC growth, cell death and loss of pluripotency. Global phosphoproteomic and transcriptomic analyses of ELA-pulsed hESCs show that it activates PI3K/AKT/mTORC1 signaling required for cell survival. ELA promotes hESC cell cycle progression and protein translation, and blocks stress-induced apoptosis. INSULIN and ELA have partially overlapping functions in hESC medium, but only ELA can potentiate the TGF pathway to prime hESCs towards the endoderm lineage. We propose that ELA, acting through an alternate cell-surface receptor, is an endogenous secreted growth factor in human embryos and hESCs that promotes growth and pluripotency.

Description
Ataxin 1 (Atxn1) is a protein of unknown function associated with cerebellar neurodegeneration in spinocerebellar ataxia type 1 (SCA1). SCA1 is caused by an expanded polyglutamine within Atxn1 by gain-of-function mechanisms. Lack of Atxn1 in mice triggers motor deficits in the absence of neurodegeneration or apparent neuropathological abnormalities.We extracted RNA from cerebellum of 5 Atxn1-null mice and 5 WT. Cerebellar gene expression profiles at 15 weeks of age were generated usSCA1 ing Affymetrix MOE430A arrays. Identifying the molecular pathways regulated by Atxn1 can provide insights into the early molecular mechanisms underlying neuronal dysfunction.
