Description
Immuno-chemotherapy regimens elicit high response rates in B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma but heterogeneity in response duration is observed, with some patients achieving cure and others showing refractory disease or relapse. Using a transcriptome-powered targeted proteomics screen, we discovered a gene regulatory circuit involving the nuclear factor CYCLON which characterizes aggressive disease and resistance to the anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody, Rituximab, in high-risk B-cell lymphoma. CYCLON knockdown was found to inhibit the aggressivity of MYC-overexpressing tumors in mice and to modulate gene expression programs of biological relevance to lymphoma. Furthermore, CYCLON knockdown increased the sensitivity of human lymphoma B cells to Rituximab in vitro and in vivo. Strikingly, this effect could be mimicked by in vitro treatment of lymphoma B cells with a small molecule inhibitor for BET bromodomain proteins (JQ1). In summary, this work has identified CYCLON as a new MYC cooperating factor that drives aggressive tumor growth and Rituximab resistance in lymphoma. This resistance mechanism is amenable to next-generation epigenetic therapy by BET bromodomain inhibition, thereby providing a new combination therapy rationale for high-risk lymphoma.

Description
We have demonstrated that allergic airway inflammation (induced by an ovalbumin sensitization and aerosol challenge protocol) decreases lung bacterial burden following lung infection with Klebsiella pneumoniae. The goals of this study are to indentify novel targets that are expressed during allergic airway inflammation in this model that contribute to enhanced lung bacterial immunity. Overall design: We isolated total RNA from the lungs of 4 groups of mice at both 0 hours (pre-infection) and 6 hours post-infection. WT and STAT6KO (BALB/c) mice were intraperitoneally sensitzed with alum or ovalbumin (OVA)-alum on day -18. Alum injected mice were not subsequently exposed to OVA aerosol. OVA-alum injected mice underwent aerosol sensitization on days -4, -3, -2, and -1. On day 0, four groups of mice were harvested (pre-infection). These included WT-ALUM, WT-OVA, STAT6KO-ALUM, and STAT6KO-OVA. On day 0, four groups of mice were infected with 10^4cfu of Klebsiella and then lungs were removed at 6 hours post-infection. These groups included WT-ALUM-KP, WT-OVA-KP, STAT6KO-ALUM-KP, and STAT6KO-OVA-KP. The right lung was removed for RNA isolation. Each group contained between 4 and 5 mice.

Description
Barretts esophagus confers significant risk of esophageal adenocarcinoma. We have established the cloning of patient-matched stem cells of Barretts, gastric, and esophageal epithelium. Barrett's esophagus stem cells (BE), gastric cardia stem cells (GC) and normal esophagus stem cells (Eso) from 12 patients were cloned (For BE: 12 patients, GC: 12 patients and Eso: 2 patients). Keratin 5 positive and Keratin 7 positive cells were cloned from human fetal esophageal epithelium. Using air liquid interface culture system, stem cells were induced to differentiate into mature epithelial structures.

Description
Barretts esophagus confers significant risk of esophageal adenocarcinoma. We have established the cloning of patient-matched stem cells of Barretts, gastric, and esophageal epithelium. Transplantation of transformed Barretts stem cells yielded tumors with hallmarks of esophageal adenocarcinoma, whereas transformed esophageal stem cells produced squamous cell carcinomas. These findings define a stem cell target in a precancerous lesion for preemptive therapies.

Description
Barretts esophagus is a precancerous lesion that confers a significant risk of esophageal adenocarcinoma. Strategies for selective eradication of Barretts have been stymied by our inability to identify the Barretts stem cell. Here we employ novel technologies to clone patient-matched stem cells of Barretts, gastric, and esophageal epithelium. Genomic analyses of Barretts stem cells reveal a patient-specific mutational spectrum ranging from low somatic variation similar to patient-matched gastric epithelial stem cells to ones marked by extensive heterozygous alteration of genes implicated in tumor suppression, epithelial planarity, and epigenetic regulation. Transplantation of transformed Barretts stem cells yields tumors with hallmarks of esophageal adenocarcinoma, whereas transformed esophageal stem cells yield squamous cell carcinomas. Thus Barretts develops from cells distinct from local eponymous epithelia, emerges without obvious driver mutations, and likely progresses through and from the generation of dominant clones. These findings define a stem cell target for preemptive therapies of a precancerous lesion.

Description
We have identified a replication-independent histone variant, Hist2h2be (referred to herein as H2be), which is expressed exclusively by olfactory chemosensory neurons. Levels of H2BE are heterogeneous among olfactory neurons, but stereotyped according to the identity of the co-expressed olfactory receptor (OR). Gain- and loss-of-function experiments demonstrate that changes in H2be expression affect olfactory function and OR representation in the adult olfactory epithelium. We show that H2BE expression is reduced by sensory activity and that it promotes neuronal cell death, such that inactive olfactory neurons display higher levels of the variant and shorter life spans. Post-translational modifications (PTMs) of H2BE differ from those of the canonical H2B, consistent with a role for H2BE in altering transcription. We propose a physiological function for H2be in modulating olfactory neuron population dynamics to adapt the OR repertoire to the environment.

Description
Genomic imprinting results in the preferential expression of the paternal, or maternal allele of certain genes. We have performed a genome-wide characterization of imprinting in the mouse embryonic and adult brain using F1 hybrid mice generated from reciprocal crosses of CASTEiJ and C57BL/6J mice. We also uncovered genes associated with sex specific parental effects in the adult mouse brain. Our study identified preferential selection of the maternally inherited X chromosome in glutamatergic neurons of the female cortex. Overall design: Examination of allele specific expression in the brains of reciprocal crosses of F1 hybrid mice from CASTEiJ and C57BL/6J crosses.

Description
We analyzed Purkinje cell transcriptome dynamics in the developing mouse cerebellum during the first three postnatal weeks, a key developmental period equivalent to the third trimester in human cerebellar development. Our study represents the first detailed analysis of developmental Purkinje cell transcriptomes and provides a valuable dataset for gene network analyses and biological questions on genes implicated in cerebellar and Purkinje cell development. Overall design: Laser capture microdissection was employed to obtain a highly enriched population of cerebellar Purkinje cells. Deep sequencing was performed on RNA isolated from 1000 Purkinje cells at five developmental timepoints (postnatal days P0, P4, P8, P14 and P21) in triplicate.

Description
We sought to investigate the scope of cellular and molecular changes within a mouse's olfactory system as a function of its exposure to odors emitted from members of the opposite sex. To this end, we housed mice either separated from members of the opposite sex (sex-separated) or together with members of the opposite sex (sex-combined) until six months of age and then profiled transcript levels within the main olfactory epithelium (MOE), vomeronasal organ (VNO), and olfactory bulb (OB) of the mice via RNA-seq. For each tissue type, we then analyzed gene expression differences between sex-separated males and sex-separated females (SM v SF), sex-combined males and sex-combined females (CM v CF), sex-separated females and sex-combined females (SF v CF), and sex-separated males and sex-combined males (SM v CM). Within both the MOE and VNO, we observed significantly more numerous gene expression differences between males and females when mice were sex-separated as compared to sex-combined. Chemoreceptors were highly enriched among the genes differentially expressed between males and females in sex-separated conditions, and these expression differences were found to reflect differences in the abundance of the corresponding sensory neurons. Overall design: For each combination of tissue (MOE, VNO, OB), sex (F, M), and condition (sex-separated [S], sex-combined [C]), we generated three biological replicate samples of RNA, each of which contained equal quantities of RNA from two different mice. This resulted in a total of 36 samples.
