Description
The goal was to capture the transcriptional activity due to over-expression of AKT, BAD, ERBB2, IGF1R, RAF1 and ERK1 genes.Over-expressions were validated using Western Blots. Illumina RNA-Seq technology was used to capture the downstream transcriptional activity. Reads were 101 base pairs long and single ended. An R open source package “Rsubread” was used to align and quantify the read using UCSC hg19 annotation. The integer-based gene counts were later normalized in TPM . Overall design: Profiles of gene expression, downstream of AKT, BAD, ERBB2, IGF1R, RAF1 and ERK over-expression, were generated in cells derived from breast and used to generate a gene-expression signatures.

Description
Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by the accumulation of lipid-loaded macrophages in the arterial wall. Intimal macrophages internalize modified lipoproteins such as oxidized LDL (oxLDL) through scavenger receptors, leading to storage of excess cholesteryl esters in lipid bodies and a "foam cell" phenotype. In addition, stimulation of macrophage Toll-like receptors (TLRs) has been shown to promote lipid body proliferation. We investigated the possibility that there are transcriptional regulators that are common to both pathways for stimulating foam cell formation (modified lipoproteins and TLR stimulation), and identified the transcription factor ATF3 as a candidate regulator.

Description
We performed RNAseq analysis to determine the effect of MFN1 deletion on oocyte global gene expression profile. RNAseq revealed a total of 982 genes were significantly differentially expressed (p<0.05) in Mfn1-/- oocytes compared to WT (654 up-regulated and 337 down-regulated). Pathway analysis indicated significant over-representation of elements involved in regulation of ceramide biosynthesis, death receptor signaling and adherens junction signaling. Differential expression of these genes (Bad, G2e3, Cdh17 and Myh2) was also confirmed by qRT-PCR.Our findings provide new insight into the role of MFN1 in the oocytes, and may help understand the potential mechanism of infertility and reproductive aging associated with MFN1-deficiency. Overall design: Secondary follicle-enclosed oocytes were collected from 8-week-old Mfn1-/- and WT mice (n=3 for each group) and 5 oocytes from each group were pooled for RNA sequencing analysis.

Description
The tumor suppressor p53 can induce various biological responses. Yet it is not clear whether it is p53 in vivo promoter selectivity that triggers different transcription programs leading to different outcomes. Our analysis of genome-wide chromatin occupancy by p53 using ChIP-seq (deposited in Sequence Read Archive database as SRP007261) revealed p53 default program, i.e. the pattern of major p53-bound sites that is similar upon p53 activation by nutlin3a, RITA or 5-FU in breast cancer cells, despite different biological outcomes triggered by these compounds. Parallel analysis of gene expression allowed identification of 280 previously unknown p53 target genes, including p53-repressed AURKA. The consensus p53 binding motif was present more frequently in p53-induced, than in repressed targets, indicating different mechanisms of gene activation versus repression. We identified several possible cofactors of p53, and found that STAT3 antagonised p53-mediated repression of a subset of genes, including AURKA. Finally, we showed that the expression of the novel p53 targets correlates with p53 status and survival in breast cancer patients.

Description
Since its discovery as a tumour suppressor some fifteen years ago, the transcription factor p53 has attracted paramount attention for its role as the guardian of the genome. TP53 mutations occur so frequently in cancer, regardless of patient age or tumour type, that they appear to be part of the life history of at least 50% of human tumours. In most tumours that retain wild-type p53, its function is inactivated due to deregulated HDM2, a protein which binds to p53 and which can inhibit the transcriptional activity of p53 and induce its degradation.

Description
Targeting oncogene addiction is a promising strategy for anti-cancer therapy. Here, we report a potent inhibition of crucial oncogenes by p53 upon reactivation with small molecule RITA in vitro and in vivo. RITA-activated p53 unleashes transcriptional repression of anti-apoptotic proteins Mcl-1, Bcl-2, MAP4, and survivin, blocks Akt pathway on several levels and downregulates c-Myc, cyclin E and B-catenin. p53 ablates c-Myc expression via several mechanisms at transcriptional and posttranscriptional level. We show that transrepression of oncogenes correlated with higher level of p53 bound to chromatin-bound p53 than transactivation of pro-apoptotic targets. Inhibition of oncogenes by p53 reduces the cells ability to buffer pro-apoptotic signals and elicits robust apoptosis. Our study highlights the role of transcriptional repression for p53-mediated tumor suppression.

Description
Noncoding RNAs include small transcripts, such as microRNAs and piwi-interacting RNAs, and a wide range of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs). Although many lncRNAs have been identified, only a small number of lncRNAs have been characterized functionally. Here, we sought to identify lncRNAs differentially expressed during replicative senescence. We compared lncRNAs expressed in proliferating, early-passage, 'young' human diploid WI-38 fibroblasts [population doubling (PDL) 20] with those expressed in senescent, late-passage, 'old' fibroblasts (PDL 52) by RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq). Numerous transcripts in all lncRNA groups (antisense lncRNAs, pseudogene-encoded lncRNAs, previously described lncRNAs and novel lncRNAs) were validated using reverse transcription (RT) and real-time, quantitative (q)PCR. Among the novel senescence-associated lncRNAs (SAL-RNAs) showing lower abundance in senescent cells, SAL-RNA1 (XLOC_023166) was found to delay senescence, because reducing SAL-RNA1 levels enhanced the appearance of phenotypic traits of senescence, including an enlarged morphology, positive ß-galactosidase activity, and heightened p53 levels. Our results reveal that the expression of known and novel lncRNAs changes with senescence and suggests that SAL-RNAs play direct regulatory roles in this important cellular process. Overall design: RNA was extracted from both young and senescent WI-38 cells and used for total RNA-Seq.
