Description
Transforming growth factor (TGF)- plays crucial roles in embryonic development and adult tissue homeostasis by eliciting various cellular responses in target cells. TGF- signaling is principally mediated through receptor-activated Smad proteins, which regulate expression of target genes in cooperation with other DNA-binding transcriptionfactors (Smad cofactors). In this study, we found that the basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor Olig1 is a Smad cofactor involved in TGF-b-induced cell motility. Knockdown of Olig1 attenuated TGF--induced cell motility in chamber migration and wound healing assays. In contrast, Olig1 knockdown had no effect on bone morphogenetic protein-induced cell motility, TGF--induced cytostasis or epithelial-mesenchymal transition. Furthermore, we observed that cooperation of Smad2/3 with Olig1 is regulated by a peptidyl-prolyl cis/trans isomerase, Pin1. TGF-b-induced cell motility, induction of Olig1-regulated genes, and physical interaction between Smad2/3 and Olig1 were all inhibited after knockdown of Pin1, indicating a novel mode of regulation of Smad signaling. We also found that Olig1 interacts with the L3 loop of Smad3. Using a synthetic peptide corresponding to the L3 loop of Smad3, we succeeded in selectively inhibiting TGF-b-induced cell motility. These findings may lead to a new strategy for selective regulation of TGF-b-induced cellular responses.

Description
The mammalian Y chromosome plays a critical role in spermatogenesis. However, the exact functions of each gene in the Y chromosome have not been completely elucidated, partly owing to difficulties in gene targeting analysis for the Y chromosome. Zfy was first proposed to be a sex determination factor, but its function in spermatogenesis has been recently elucidated. Nevertheless, Zfy gene targeting analysis has not been performed thus far. Here, we adopted the highly efficient CRISPR/Cas9 system to generate individual Zfy1 or Zfy2 knockout (KO) mice, and Zfy1 and Zfy2 double knockout (Zfy1/2-DKO) mice. While individual Zfy1 or Zfy2-KO mice did not show any significant phenotypic alterations in fertility, Zfy1/2-DKO mice were infertile and displayed abnormal sperm morphology, fertilization failure, and early embryonic development failure. Mass spectrometric screening, followed by confirmation with western blot analysis, showed that PLCZ1, PLCD4, PRSS21, and HTT protein expression was significantly deceased in spermatozoa from Zfy1/2-DKO mice compared with those from wild type mice. These results are consistent with the phenotypic changes seen in the double mutant mice. Collectively, our strategy and findings revealed that Zfy1 and Zfy2 have redundant functions in spermatogenesis, facilitating a better understanding of fertilization failure and early embryonic development failure.

Description
DNA methylation has been considered to play an important role during myogenic differentiation. In terminal differentiation of myoblasts, chronological alteration of DNA methylation status was poorly understood. Using Infinium HumanMethylation450 BeadChips, we validated genome wide DNA methylation profiles of human myoblast differentiation models. To investigate correlation between DNA methylation and gene expression, we also assessed gene expression of myoblasts with GeneChip Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 array.

Description
Regulatory T (Treg) cells suppress the development of inflammatory disease, but our knowledge of transcriptional regulators that control this function remains incomplete. Here we show that expression of Id2 and Id3 in Treg cells was required to suppress development of fatal inflammatory disease. We found that T cell antigen receptor (TCR)-driven signaling initially decreased the abundance of Id3, which led to the activation of a follicular regulatory T (TFR) cell–specific transcription signature. However, sustained lower abundance of Id2 and Id3 interfered with proper development of TFR cells. Depletion of Id2 and Id3 expression in Treg cells resulted in compromised maintenance and localization of the Treg cell population. Thus, Id2 and Id3 enforce TFR cell checkpoints and control the maintenance and homing of Treg cells. Overall design: Treg mRNA profiles in lymph node from 3-week-old Id2fl/flId3fl/fl;Foxp3Cre/Cre (Id2 Id3 double-knockout) and control mice are generated by deep sequencing.

Description
It is now well established that the E- and Id-protein axis regulates multiple steps in lymphocyte development. However, it remains unknown as to how E- and Id-proteins mechanistically enforce and maintain the naïve T cell fate. Here we show that Id2 and Id3 suppressed the development and expansion of innate-variant TFH cells. Innate-variant TFH cells required MHC Class I-like signalling and were associated with germinal center B cell development. We found that Id2 and Id3 induced Foxo1 and Foxp1 expression to antagonize the activation of TFH transcription signature. We show that Id2 and Id3 acted upstream of the Hif1a/Foxo/AKT/mTORC1 pathway as well as the c-myc/p19Arf module to control cellular expansion and activation. We found that mice depleted for Id2 and Id3 expression developed colitis and aß T cell lymphomas. Lymphomas depleted for Id2 and Id3 expression displayed elevated levels of c-myc whereas p19Arf abundance declined. Transcription signatures of Id2- and Id3-depleted lymphomas revealed similarities with genetic deficiencies associated with Burkitt lymphoma. We propose that in response to antigen receptor and/or cytokine signaling the E-Id protein axis modulates the activities of the PI3K-AKT-mTORC1-Hifa and c-myc/p19Arf pathways to control cellular expansion and homeostatic proliferation. Overall design: RNA-seq data of 5 of wild type CD4SP cells, 3 of wild type Tfh cells, 3 of Id3-/- CD4SP cells, 3 of Id2-/-Id3-/-(dKO) CD4SP cells, and 6 of Id2-/-Id3-/- lymphoma cells.
