Background and References E2F5 is a member of the E2F family of transcription factors. The E2F family plays a crucial role in the control of cell cycle and action of tumor suppressor proteins and is also a target of the transforming proteins of small DNA tumor viruses. The E2F proteins contain several evolutionally conserved domains found in most members of the family. These domains include a DNA binding domain, a dimerization domain which determines BACKGROUND: interaction with the differentiation regulated transcription factor proteins (DP), a transactivation domain enriched in acidic amino acids, and a tumor suppressor protein association domain which is embedded within the transactivation domain. This protein is differentially phosphorylated and is expressed in a wide variety of human tissues. It is more homologous to E2F4, a family member, than to other members. Both this protein and E2F4 interact with tumor suppressor proteins p130 and p107, but not with pRB. REFERENCES: 1) Ohtani, N., et al., (2003) J. Cell Biol. 162 (2), 173-183.

We utilized an informatics-based approach to develop a transcriptional signature of β-cell GA stress using existing RNA sequencing and microarray datasets generated using human islets from donors with diabetes and islets where type 1(T1D) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) had been modeled ex vivo. To narrow our results to GA-specific genes, we applied a filter set of 1,030 genes accepted as GA associated.

  • A Flexible Microfluidic System for Single-Cell Transcriptome Profiling
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN A fexible microfuidic system for single‑cell transcriptome profling elucidates phased transcriptional regulators of cell cycle Karen Davey1,7, Daniel Wong2,7, Filip Konopacki2, Eugene Kwa1, Tony Ly3, Heike Fiegler2 & Christopher R. Sibley 1,4,5,6* Single cell transcriptome profling has emerged as a breakthrough technology for the high‑resolution understanding of complex cellular systems. Here we report a fexible, cost‑efective and user‑ friendly droplet‑based microfuidics system, called the Nadia Instrument, that can allow 3′ mRNA capture of ~ 50,000 single cells or individual nuclei in a single run. The precise pressure‑based system demonstrates highly reproducible droplet size, low doublet rates and high mRNA capture efciencies that compare favorably in the feld. Moreover, when combined with the Nadia Innovate, the system can be transformed into an adaptable setup that enables use of diferent bufers and barcoded bead confgurations to facilitate diverse applications. Finally, by 3′ mRNA profling asynchronous human and mouse cells at diferent phases of the cell cycle, we demonstrate the system’s ability to readily distinguish distinct cell populations and infer underlying transcriptional regulatory networks. Notably this provided supportive evidence for multiple transcription factors that had little or no known link to the cell cycle (e.g. DRAP1, ZKSCAN1 and CEBPZ). In summary, the Nadia platform represents a promising and fexible technology for future transcriptomic studies, and other related applications, at cell resolution. Single cell transcriptome profling has recently emerged as a breakthrough technology for understanding how cellular heterogeneity contributes to complex biological systems. Indeed, cultured cells, microorganisms, biopsies, blood and other tissues can be rapidly profled for quantifcation of gene expression at cell resolution.

Accumulating evidence(s) suggests that miRNAs can work either as oncogenes or tumor suppressors, but some miRNAs have a dual nature since they can act as both. miRNA 205 (miR-205) is one such highly conserved miRNA that can act as both, oncomiRNA and tumor suppressor. However, most reports confirm its emerging role as a tumor suppressor in many cancers. This review focuses on the downregulated expression of miR-205 and discusses its dysregulation in breast, prostate, skin, liver, gliomas, pancreatic, colorectal and renal cancers. This review also confers its role in tumor initiation, progression, cell proliferation, epithelial to mesenchymal transition, and tumor metastasis.

  • Molecular Markers and Potential Therapeutic Targets in Non-WNT/Non
    Menyhárt et al. Journal of Hematology & Oncology (2019) 12:29 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13045-019-0712-y REVIEW Open Access Molecular markers and potential therapeutic targets in non-WNT/non-SHH (group 3 and group 4) medulloblastomas Otília Menyhárt1,2, Felice Giangaspero3,4 and Balázs Győrffy1,2* Abstract Childhood medulloblastomas (MB) are heterogeneous and are divided into four molecular subgroups. The provisional non-wingless-activated (WNT)/non-sonic hedgehog-activated (SHH) category combining group 3 and group 4 represents over two thirds of all MBs, coupled with the highest rates of metastases and least understood pathology. The molecular era expanded our knowledge about molecular aberrations involved in MB tumorigenesis, and here, we review processes leading to non-WNT/non-SHH MB formations. The heterogeneous group 3 and group 4 MBs frequently harbor rare individual genetic alterations, yet the emerging profiles suggest that infrequent events converge on common, potentially targetable signaling pathways. A mutual theme is the altered epigenetic regulation, and in vitro approaches targeting epigenetic machinery are promising. Growing evidence indicates the presence of an intermediate, mixed signature group along group 3 and group 4, and future clarifications are imperative for concordant classification, as misidentifying patient samples has serious implications for therapy and clinical trials. To subdue the high MB mortality, we need to discern mechanisms of disease spread and recurrence. Current preclinical models do not represent the full scale of group 3 and group 4 heterogeneity: all of existing group 3 cell lines are MYC-amplified and most mouse models resemble MYC-activated MBs. Clinical samples provide a wealth of information about the genetic divergence between primary tumors and metastatic clones, but recurrent MBs are rarely resected.

  • Mammalian Atypical E2fs Link Endocycle Control to Cancer
    Mammalian Atypical E2Fs Link Endocycle Control to Cancer DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Hui-Zi Chen Graduate Program in Integrated Biomedical Science Program The Ohio State University 2011 Dissertation Committee: Gustavo Leone, PhD, Advisor Michael Ostrowski, PhD Clay Marsh, MD Tsonwin Hai, PhD Kathryn Wikenheiser-Brokamp, MD PhD Copyright by Hui-Zi Chen 2011 Abstract The endocycle is a developmentally programmed variant cell cycle consisting of successive S (DNA synthesis) and G (Gap) phases without an intervening M phase or cytokinesis. As a consequence of the regulated “decoupling” of DNA replication and mitosis, which are two central processes of the traditional cell division program, endocycling cells acquire highly polyploid genomes after having undergone multiple rounds of whole genome reduplication. Although essential for metazoan development, relatively little is known about the regulation of endocycle or its physiologic role in higher vertebrates such as the mammal. A substantial body of work in the model organism Drosophila melanogaster has demonstrated an important function for dE2Fs in the control of endocycle. Genetic studies showed that both endocycle initiation and progression is severely disrupted by altering the expression of the fly E2F activator (dE2F1) or repressor (dE2F2). In mammals, the E2F family is comprised of nine structurally related proteins, encoded by eight distinct genes, that can be classified into transcriptional activators (E2f1, E2f2, E2f3a and E2f3b) or repressors (E2f4, E2f5, E2f6, E2f7 and E2f8). The repressor subclass may then be further divided into canonical (E2f4, E2f5 and E2f6) or atypical E2fs (E2f7 and E2f8).

  • BMP Signaling Suppresses Gemc1 Expression and Ependymal
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN BMP signaling suppresses Gemc1 expression and ependymal diferentiation of mouse telencephalic progenitors Hanae Omiya1, Shima Yamaguchi1, Tomoyuki Watanabe1, Takaaki Kuniya1, Yujin Harada1, Daichi Kawaguchi1* & Yukiko Gotoh1,2* The lateral ventricles of the adult mammalian brain are lined by a single layer of multiciliated ependymal cells, which generate a fow of cerebrospinal fuid through directional beating of their cilia as well as regulate neurogenesis through interaction with adult neural stem cells. Ependymal cells are derived from a subset of embryonic neural stem-progenitor cells (NPCs, also known as radial glial cells) that becomes postmitotic during the late embryonic stage of development. Members of the Geminin family of transcriptional regulators including GemC1 and Mcidas play key roles in the diferentiation of ependymal cells, but it remains largely unclear what extracellular signals regulate these factors and ependymal diferentiation during embryonic and early-postnatal development. We now show that the levels of Smad1/5/8 phosphorylation and Id1/4 protein expression—both of which are downstream events of bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling—decline in cells of the ventricular- subventricular zone in the mouse lateral ganglionic eminence in association with ependymal diferentiation. Exposure of postnatal NPC cultures to BMP ligands or to a BMP receptor inhibitor suppressed and promoted the emergence of multiciliated ependymal cells, respectively. Moreover, treatment of embryonic NPC cultures with BMP ligands reduced the expression level of the ependymal marker Foxj1 and suppressed the emergence of ependymal-like cells. Finally, BMP ligands reduced the expression levels of Gemc1 and Mcidas in postnatal NPC cultures, whereas the BMP receptor inhibitor increased them.

Breast cancer is fairly heterogeneous and reveals six molecular subtypes: luminal A, luminal B, HER2+, basal-like subtype (ER−, PR−, and HER2−), normal breast-like, and claudin-low. Breast cancer screening and early diagnosis play critical roles in improving therapeutic outcomes and prognosis. Mammography is currently the main commercially available detection method for breast cancer; however, it has numerous limitations. Therefore, reliable noninvasive diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers are required. Biomarkers used in cancer range from macromolecules, such as DNA, RNA, and proteins, to whole cells.
