Description
The goal of this study was to investigate and correlate differential methylation and expression in cells from the target organ in non-infectious granulomatous lung diseases, specifically sarcoidosis and chronic beryllium disease (CBD). To that end, cells were collected from patients via bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL), and extracted nucleic acids were hybridized to genome-wide arrays.

Description
Aberrant splicing is a hallmark of leukemias with mutations in splicing factor (SF)-encoding genes. Here we investigated its prevalence in pediatric B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemias (B-ALL), where SFs are not mutated. By comparing them to normal pro-B cells, we found thousands of aberrant local splice variations (LSVs) per sample, with 279 LSVs in 241 genes present in every comparison. These genes were enriched in RNA processing pathways and encoded ~100 SFs, e.g. hnRNPA1. hnRNPA1 3'UTR was most pervasively misspliced, yielding the transcript subject to nonsense-mediated decay. Thus, we knocked it down in B-lymphoblastoid cells, identified 213 hnRNPA1-dependent splicing events, and defined the hnRNPA1 splicing signature in pediatric leukemias. One of its elements was DICER1, a known tumor suppressor gene; its LSVs involved the 5' UTR, suggestive of splicing as a mechanism of translational deregulation. Additionally, we searched for LSVs in other leukemia and lymphoma drivers and discovered 81 LSVs in 41 genes. 77 LSVs were confirmed using two large independent B-ALL RNA-seq datasets. In fact, the twenty most common B-ALL drivers showed higher prevalence of aberrant splicing than of somatic mutations. Thus, post-transcriptional deregulation of SF can drive widespread changes in B-ALL splicing and likely contribute to disease pathogenesis. Overall design: We profiled hnRNPA1 Ctrl and hnRNPA1 knockdown with 2 replicates each.

Description
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a fatal malignancy with a dismal prognosis. The recent advances in genomics and transcriptomics have led to large volumes of molecular data for HCC, providing an unprecedented opportunity to translate these data into more effective therapeutics. By creating HCC gene expression signatures and comparing with drug response signatures from multiple datasets, we identified four antihelminthics (from over 1000 FDA-approved drugs) that can reverse the HCC disease gene expression. Among these four, niclosamide was the top hit, which we further evaluated in clinically relevant HCC cell lines and patient-derived xenografts (PDX). Given the poor water-solubility and limited systemic bioavailability of niclosamide, we also evaluated its ethanolamine salt (NEN), which has improved solubility and bioavailability. Both niclosamide and NEN significantly inhibited HCC cell proliferation in vitro, which was associated with down-regulation of key proteins involved in the AKT-mTOR, Wnt, Stat3, and EGFR/Ras/Raf signaling pathways. NEN additionally decreased the growth of three PDX models after oral administration (1,5000 ppm in food) for 4-6 weeks. Expression profiling demonstrated that niclosamide and NEN induced highly similar gene expression changes in HepG2 cells and in PDX models, and that both compounds significantly reversed HCC gene expression in vitro and in vivo . Our results suggest that NEN may be a preferred drug candidate for the treatment of HCC.

Description
In adult cancers, epigenetic changes and aberrant splicing of the DNMT3B is commonly observed, and the pattern of gene methylation and expression has been shown to be modified by DNMT3B7, a truncated protein of DNMT3B. Much less is known about the mechanism of epigenetic changes in the pediatric cancer neuroblastoma. To investigate if aberrant DNMT3B transcripts alter DNA methylation, gene expression and tumor phenotype in neuroblastoma, we measured DNMT3B isoform expression in primary tumors and cell lines. Higher levels of DNMT3B7 were detected in differentiated ganglioneuroblastomas compared to undifferentiated neuroblastomas, suggesting that expression of DNMT3B7 may induce a less clinically aggressive tumor phenotype. To test this hypothesis, we investigated the effects of forced DNMT3B7 in neuroblastoma cells. We found that DNMT3B7 expression significantly inhibited neuroblastoma cell proliferation in vitro, and in neuroblastoma xenografts, DNMT3B7 decreased angiogenesis and tumor growth. DNMT3B7-positive cells had higher levels of total genomic methylation, and RNA-sequencing revealed a dramatic decrease in expression of FOS and JUN family members, AP1 complex components. Consistent with the established antagonistic relationship between AP1 expression and retinoic acid receptor activity, decreased proliferation and increased differentiation was seen in the DNMT3B7-expressing neuroblastoma cells following treatment with all trans retinoic acid (ATRA) compared to controls. Our results demonstrate that high levels of DNMT3B7 modify the epigenome in neuroblastoma cells, induce changes in gene expression, inhibit tumor growth, and increase sensitivity to ATRA. Further knowledge regarding mechanisms by which DNMT3B7 regulates gene methylation may ultimately lead to the development of therapeutic strategies that reverse the epigenetic aberrations that drive neuroblastoma pathogenesis. Overall design: DNMT3B7, a truncated DNMT3B isoform, was stably transfected into an N-type neuroblastoma cell line (LA1-55n) using a Tet-off inducible system. DNMT3B7 expressing cells were compared to vector control cells after 21 days of induction.

Evaluation of the airway transcriptome may reveal patterns of gene expression that are associated with clinical phenotypes of asthma. To define transcriptomic endotypes of asthma (TEA) we analyzed gene expression in induced sputum that correlate with phenotypes of disease. Gene expression was measured in sputum of subjects with asthma using Affymetrix HuGene ST 1.0 microarrays. Unsupervised clustering analysis of genes identified TEA clusters. Clinical characteristics were compared.
