Description
Almost a quarter of pediatric patients with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) suffer from relapses. The biological mechanisms underlying therapy response and development of relapses have remained unclear. In an attempt to better understand this phenomenon, we have analyzed 41 matched diagnosis relapse pairs of ALL patients using genomewide expression arrays (82 arrays) on purified leukemic cells. In roughly half of the patients very few differences between diagnosis and relapse samples were found (stable group), suggesting that mostly extra-leukemic factors (e.g., drug distribution, drug metabolism, compliance) contributed to the relapse. Therefore, we focused our further analysis on 20 samples with clear differences in gene expression (skewed group), reasoning that these would allow us to better study the biological mechanisms underlying relapsed ALL. After finding the differences between diagnosis and relapse pairs in this group, we identified four major gene clusters corresponding to several pathways associated with changes in cell cycle, DNA replication, recombination and repair, as well as B cell developmental genes. We also identified cancer genes commonly associated with colon carcinomas and ubiquitination to be upregulated in relapsed ALL. Thus, about half of relapses are due to selection or emergence of a clone with deregulated expression of a genes involved in pathways that regulate B cell signaling, development, cell cycle, cellular division and replication.

Description
In this study we studied the presence of tumor cells that underwent epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition within polyoma middle T antigen (PyMT) breast tumors. For this we dissociated tumors and isolated Ecad positive tumor cells by FACS sorting. We confirmed that PyMT tumors contain a small set of tumor cells that have undergone EMT in the primary tumor and that E-cadherin can be used as a marker on single cell level for mesenchymal status in this model. Overall design: (i) We isolated primary tumors from mice, dissociated the tumors and FACS-sorted for single Ecad positive tumor cells, after this we performed single cell sequencing of the cells. (ii) We isolated CTCs and solid tumor cells from mice, dissociated the tumors and FACS-sorted for single Ecad positive and negative cells, after this we performed single cell sequencing of the cells.

Description
Recent observations about how cells sense amino acids have argued for preeminent roles of mTOR and the stress kinase GCN2 in allowing cells to estimate their amino acid needs. Here we used models of programmed immune microenvironments where helper T cells have to sense how much amino acids are available to engage in antigen-fueled proliferation. Contrary to current models, T cells activate mTOR in the competency phase of the cell cycle regardless of amino acid amounts, GCN2 or surface TCR. Instead, we found T cells use an amino acid sensing system to target IL-2-induced STAT5 phosphorylation at the restriction point of cell cycle commitment. mTOR activity is subsequently reduced and specifically connected to SREBP activation. T cells can be pushed into cycle by increasing IL-2 even when no amino acids are available. Collectively, our studies reveal helper T cells use sequential and distinct pathways to measure local amino acid concentrations.

Description
Integrins facilitate intercellular movement and communication. Unlike the promiscuous activities of many integrins, 6 integrin is restricted to epithelia and partners exclusively with integrin V to modulate acute lung injury (ALI). Given that ALI is a complication of respiratory infection, we used mice lacking 6 integrin (6 KO) to probe the role of the epithelial layer in controlling the lung microenvironment during infection. We found 6 KO mice were protected from disease caused by influenza and Sendai virus infections. They were also protected from disease caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae infection alone and after prior influenza virus infection, the co-infection representing an often-lethal condition in humans. Resistance in the absence of epithelial 6 integrin was caused by intrinsic priming of the lung microenvironment by type I interferons through a mechanism involving transforming growth factor- regulation. Expression of 6 on epithelia suppresses the production of interferons, providing an advantage to the pathogen. Acute inhibition of 6 function may therefore provide a means to improve outcomes in lung microbial infections.

Description
HIV-1 nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI) use is associated with severe adverse events. However, the exact mechanisms behind their toxicity has not been fully understood. Mitochondrial dysfunction after chronic exposure to NRTIs has predominantly been assigned to mitochondrial polymerase-? inhibition by NRTIs. However, an increasing amount of data suggests that this is not the sole mechanism. Many NRTI induced adverse events have been linked to the incurrence of oxidative stress, although the causality of events leading to reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and their role in toxicity is unclear. In this study we show that short-term effects of these drugs, which are rarely discussed in the literature, include direct inhibition of the mitochondrial respiratory chain (MRC), decreased ATP levels and increased ROS production. Collectively these events affect fitness and longevity of C. elegans through mitohormetic signalling events. Furthermore, we demonstrate that these effects can be normalized by addition of the anti-oxidant N-acetylcysteine (NAC), which suggests that ROS likely influence the onset and severity of adverse events upon drug exposure. Overall design: RNA-seq on Caenorhabditis elegans exposed to DMSO, 3''-azido-3''-deoxythymidine (zidovudine or AZT), 2'',3''-didehydro-2'',3''-deoxythymidine (stavudine or d4T), 3''-deoxy-3''-fluorothymidine (alovudine or FLT) or untreated control after 24 or 72 hours of exposure.
