Recent studies showed that noncanonical WNTs, such as WNT5A, can signal the degradation of several downstream effectors, thereby modulating these effectors’ cellular activities. The protein domain(s) that mediates the WNT5A-dependent degradation response, however, has not been identified. By coupling protein mutagenesis experiments with a flow cytometry-based degradation reporter assay, we have defined a protein domain in the kinesin superfamily protein KIF26B that is essential for WNT5A-dependent degradation. We found that a human disease-causing KIF26B mutation located at a conserved amino acid within this domain compromises the ability of WNT5A to induce KIF26B degradation. Using pharmacological perturbation, we further uncovered a role of glycogen synthase kinase 3 (GSK3) in WNT5A regulation of KIF26B degradation. -

Wnt signaling is usually divided into two path- transcriptional factors of the LEF/TCF family and the TCF/ ways: the ‘canonical’, acting through ß-catenin, and the ‘non- ß-catenin complexes regulate expression of specific target canonical’ acting through the Ca2+ and planar cell polarity genes. In the non-canonical pathway there are mainly two alter- pathway. Both pathways have been implicated in different native ways of Wnt signaling which do not involve ß-catenin: types of cancer. Most results obtained with established cell the Wnt/Ca2+ pathway, which acts via calmodulin kinase II and lines have been contradictory. Here, we have investigated the protein kinase C, and the planar cell polarity pathway, which expression of Wnt10B (canonical) and Wnt5A (non-canonical) controls cytoskeletal rearrangements through Jun N-terminal in a panel of finite life-span and established normal and kinase (2). breast cancer cells using quantitative RT-PCR. It was found The role of Wnt genes in breast cancer has been studied that there were both significant overexpression of Wnt5A and since 1982, when the first Wnt member (called int-1) was underexpression of Wnt10B in the metastasis-derived finite identified as the gene activated by integration of the mouse life-span breast cancer cells when they were compared to the mammary tumor virus, resulting in the development of finite life-span normal and established normal and breast mammary tumors in mice (3). -

Abstract The high mortality rate of gastric cancer (GC) is in part due to the absence of initial disclosure of its biomarkers. The recognition of important genes associated in GC is therefore recommended to advance clinical prognosis, diagnosis and and treatment outcomes. The current investigation used the microarray dataset GSE113255 RNA seq data from the Gene Expression Omnibus database to diagnose differentially expressed genes (DEGs). Pathway and gene ontology enrichment analyses were performed, and a proteinprotein interaction network, modules, target genes - miRNA regulatory network and target genes - TF regulatory network were constructed and analyzed. Finally, validation of hub genes was performed. The 1008 DEGs identified consisted of 505 up regulated genes and 503 down regulated genes. -

Modlin*,†† Th17 cells play a critical role in the adaptive immune response against extracellular bacteria, and the possible mechanisms by which they can protect against infection are of particular interest. In this study, we describe, to our knowledge, a novel IL-1b dependent pathway for secretion of the antimicrobial peptide IL-26 from human Th17 cells that is independent of and more rapid than classical TCR activation. We find that IL-26 is secreted 3 hours after treating PBMCs with Mycobacterium leprae as compared with 48 hours for IFN-g and IL-17A. IL-1b was required for microbial ligand induction of IL-26 and was sufficient to stimulate IL-26 release from Th17 cells. Only IL-1RI+ Th17 cells responded to IL-1b, inducing an NF-kB–regulated transcriptome. Finally, supernatants from IL-1b–treated memory T cells killed Escherichia coli in an IL-26–dependent manner. These results identify a mechanism by which human IL-1RI+ “antimicrobial Th17 cells” can be rapidly activated by IL-1b as part of the innate immune response to produce IL-26 to kill extracellular bacteria.

Correspondence should be addressed to D.J. ([email protected]). Abstract Distinct subtypes of intracortically-projecting neurons (ICPN) are present in all layers, allowing propagation of information within and across cortical columns. How the molecular identities of ICPN relate to their defining anatomical and functional properties is unknown. Here we show that the transcriptional identities of ICPN primarily reflect their input-output connectivities rather than their birth dates or laminar positions. Thus, conserved circuit-related transcriptional programs are at play across cortical layers, which may preserve canonical circuit features across development and evolution. bioRxiv preprint doi: https://doi.org/10.1101/290395; this version posted March 28, 2018.
