Description
Oligodendrocytes (OLs) and myelin are critical for normal brain function and they have been implicated in neurodegeneration. Human neuroimaging studies have demonstrated that alterations in axons and myelin occur early in Alzheimer's Disease (AD) course. However, the molecular mechanism underlying the role of OLs in AD remains largely unknown. In this study, we systematically interrogated OL-enriched gene networks constructed from large-scale genomic, transcriptomic, and proteomic data in human AD postmortem brain samples. These robust OL networks were highly enriched for genes associated with AD risk variants, including BIN1. We corroborated the structure of the AD OL coexpression and gene-gene interaction networks through ablation of genes identified as key drivers of the networks, including UGT8, CNP, MYRF, PLP1, NPC1, and NDGR1. Perturbations of these key drivers not only caused dysregulation in their associated network neighborhoods, but also mimicked pathways of gene expression dysregulation seen in human AD postmortem brain samples. In particular, the OL subnetwork controlled by the AD risk gene PSEN1 was strongly dysregulated in AD, suggesting a potential role of PSEN1 in disrupting the myelination pathway towards the onset of AD. In summary, this study built and systematically validated the first comprehensive molecular blueprint of OL dysregulation in AD, and identified key OL- and myelination-related genes and networks as potential candidate targets for the future development of AD therapies. Overall design: The mouse knockout models have been previously described for each of Ugt8 (Coetzee et al., 1996), Cnp (Lappe-Siefke et al., 2003), and Plp1 (Klugmann et al., 1997). For each of the two conditions studied (control and homozygous knockout mice), five mice of either sex were sacrificed at postnatal day 20 and brains were flashed-frozen until analysis. The frontal cortex (FC) and cerebellum (CBM) were dissected out and individually processed. RNA was isolated using Trizol reagent and processed using Ribo-Zero rRNA removal. RNA-sequencing was performed using the Illumina HiSeq2000 with 100 nucleotide paired-end reads. RNA-sequencing reads were mapped to the mouse genome (mm10, UCSC assembly) using Bowtie (version 2.2.3.0), TopHat (version 2.0.11), and SamTools (version 0.1.19.0) using a read length of 100. Reads were converted to counts at the gene level using HTSeq on the BAM files from TopHat2 using the UCSC known genes data set.

Description
Purpose: The goals of this study are to elucidate dowstream effects of lnc RNA, Neat1 deletion in cerebral frontal cortex of adult mice by comparing Next-generation sequencing -derived cortical transcriptome profiles (RNA-seq) between wild type and Neat1 knockout mice. Methods: Brain mRNA profiles of 2-4 moths-old wild-type (WT) and lnc RNA, Neat1 knockout (Neat1-/-) mice were generated by deep sequencing, using Illumina. Reads were mapped to mm10 reference genome using TopHat (version 2.0.9) and Bowtie (version 2.1.0), with the default parameters. Known iGenomes Ensembl mm10 were quantified by HTSeq (version 0.6.0) in intersection-strict mode. A sample-by-gene read count matrix was generated for all samples by the Ensembl genes. Scaling normalization to remove composition biases in sequencing data was applied to log(CPM) (read Counts Per Million total reads) using the trimmed mean of M-values (TMM) method. Results: RNA-seq showed near-complete depletion of Neat1 RNA levels. 1359 genes were differentially expressed in the frontal cortex of Neat1-/- mice. 25 of these differentially expressed genes withstood multiple testing corrections. Examination of RNA-seq data by principle component analysis showed two principle components that were mutually uncorrelated and orthogonal. Hierarchical cluster tree analysis showed that joined nodes from Neat1-/- samples were distanced from control subset cluster confirming the results of the PCA. Conclusions: Analyses of differentially expressed gene signature from NEAT1-/- mice revealed a significant impact on processes related to oligodendrocyte differentiation and RNA post-transcriptional modification with the underlying mechanisms involving Wnt signaling, cell contact interactions, and regulation of cholesterol/lipid metabolism. Overall design: Cerebral frontal cortex mRNA profiles of 2-4 months old wild type (WT) and Neat1 -/- mice (all females) were generated by deep sequencing (N=5 controls; N=4 Neat1 knockout).

Affymetrix Mouse Gene 1.0 ST Array (mogene10st)
Description
Rearrangements involving the NUP98 gene resulting in fusions to several partner genes occur in acute myeloid leukemia and myelodysplastic syndromes. This study demonstrates that the second FG repeat domain of the NUP98 moiety of the NUP98-HOXA9 fusion protein is important for its cell immortalization and leukemogenesis activities. We demonstrate that NUP98-HOXA9 interacts with MLL via this FG repeat domain and that, in the absence of MLL, NUP98-HOXA9-induced cell immortalization and leukemogenesis are severely inhibited. Molecular analyses indicate that MLL is important for the recruitment of NUP98-HOXA9 to the HOXA locus and for NUP98-HOXA9-induced HOXA gene expression. Our data indicate that MLL is crucial for NUP98-HOXA9 leukemia initiation.

Description
Regeneration of fragmented Drosophila imaginal discs occurs in an epimorphic manner, involving local cell proliferation at the wound site. Following disc fragmentation, cells at the wound site activate a restoration program through wound healing, regenerative cell proliferation and repatterning of the tissue. However, the interplay of signaling cascades, driving these early reprogramming steps, is not well understood. Here we profiled the transcriptome of regenerating cells in the early phase within twenty-four hours after wounding. We found that JAK/STAT signaling becomes activated at the wound site and promotes regenerative cell proliferation in cooperation with Wingless (Wg) signaling. In addition, we demonstrated that the expression of Drosophila insulin-like peptide 8 (dilp8), which encodes a paracrine peptide to delay the onset of pupariation, is controlled by JAK/STAT signaling in early regenerating discs. Our findings suggest that JAK/STAT signaling plays a pivotal role in coordinating regenerative disc growth with organismal developmental timing.

Description
Glioblastomas show heterogeneous histological features. These distinct phenotypic states are thought to be associated with the presence of glioma stem cells (GSCs), which are highly tumorigenic and self-renewing sub-population of tumor cells that have different functional characteristics. To investigate gene expression including lncRNA (long non-coding RNA) in GSC, we have performed high-throughput RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) experiment using Illumina GAIIx. Overall design: Profiles of gene expression including lncRNA in GSC were generated by RNA-seq using Illumina GAIIx.

Description
The closely related transcription factors (TFs), estrogen receptors ER and ER, regulate divergent gene expression programs and proliferative outcomes in breast cancer. Utilizing MCF-7 breast cancer cells with ER, ER, or both receptors as a model system to define the basis of differing response specification by related TFs, we show that these TFs and their key coregulators, SRC3 and RIP140, generate overlapping as well as unique chromatin-binding and transcription-regulating modules.
