Immune aging is characterized by a loss of self-renewing naïve cells and the accumulation of differentiated but dysfunctional cells within the CD8 T cell compartment.

Extending our analysis to aged humans, we found that the differences between the memory and naïve CD8 T cell subsets were largely preserved across age but that naïve and central memory cells from older individuals exhibited a shift toward more differentiated patterns of chromatin openness. In addition, aged naïve cells displayed a loss in chromatin accessibility at gene promoters, largely associated with a decrease in nuclear respiratory factor 1 (NRF1) binding. This shift was implicated in a marked drop-off in the ability of the aged naïve cells to transcribe respiratory chain genes, which may explain the reduced capacity of oxidative phosphorylation in older naïve cells. Our findings identify BATF- and NRF1-driven gene regulation as potential targets for delaying CD8 T cell http://immunology.sciencemag.org/ aging and restoring function.

Despite this known fact, previous discoveries of the mechanism that controls gene expression usually consider only a single TF. Results: We provide a prediction of interacting TFs in 22 human tissues based on their DNA-binding affinity in promoter regions. We analyze all possible pairs of 130 vertebrate TFs from the JASPAR database. First, all human promoter regions are scanned for single TF-DNA binding affinities with TRAP and for each TF a ranked list of all promoters ordered by the binding affinity is created. We then study the similarity of the ranked lists and detect candidates for TF-TF interaction by applying a partial independence test for multiway contingency tables. Our candidates are validated by both known protein-protein interactions (PPIs) and known gene regulation mechanisms in the selected tissue. We find that the known PPIs are significantly enriched in the groups of our predicted TF-TF interactions (2 and 7 times more common than expected by chance). In addition, the predicted interacting TFs for studied tissues (liver, muscle, hematopoietic stem cell) are supported in literature to be active regulators or to be expressed in the corresponding tissue.

In the adult brain, neurogenesis is mainly localized in two specialized niches, the subgranular zone (SGZ) of the dentate gyrus and the subventricular zone (SVZ) adjacent to the lateral ventricles. Neurogenesis plays a fundamental role in postnatal brain, where it is required for neuronal plasticity. Moreover, perturbation of adult neurogenesis contributes to several human diseases, including cognitive impairment and neurodegenerative diseases. The interplay between extrinsic and intrinsic factors is fundamental in regulating neurogenesis. Over the past decades, several studies on intrinsic pathways, including transcription factors, have highlighted their fundamental role in regulating every stage of neurogenesis. However, it is likely that transcriptional regulation is part of a more sophisticated regulatory network, which includes epigenetic modifications, non-coding RNAs and metabolic pathways.

  • Genome-Wide DNA Methylation Analysis of KRAS Mutant Cell Lines Ben Yi Tew1,5, Joel K
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Genome-wide DNA methylation analysis of KRAS mutant cell lines Ben Yi Tew1,5, Joel K. Durand2,5, Kirsten L. Bryant2, Tikvah K. Hayes2, Sen Peng3, Nhan L. Tran4, Gerald C. Gooden1, David N. Buckley1, Channing J. Der2, Albert S. Baldwin2 ✉ & Bodour Salhia1 ✉ Oncogenic RAS mutations are associated with DNA methylation changes that alter gene expression to drive cancer. Recent studies suggest that DNA methylation changes may be stochastic in nature, while other groups propose distinct signaling pathways responsible for aberrant methylation. Better understanding of DNA methylation events associated with oncogenic KRAS expression could enhance therapeutic approaches. Here we analyzed the basal CpG methylation of 11 KRAS-mutant and dependent pancreatic cancer cell lines and observed strikingly similar methylation patterns. KRAS knockdown resulted in unique methylation changes with limited overlap between each cell line. In KRAS-mutant Pa16C pancreatic cancer cells, while KRAS knockdown resulted in over 8,000 diferentially methylated (DM) CpGs, treatment with the ERK1/2-selective inhibitor SCH772984 showed less than 40 DM CpGs, suggesting that ERK is not a broadly active driver of KRAS-associated DNA methylation. KRAS G12V overexpression in an isogenic lung model reveals >50,600 DM CpGs compared to non-transformed controls. In lung and pancreatic cells, gene ontology analyses of DM promoters show an enrichment for genes involved in diferentiation and development. Taken all together, KRAS-mediated DNA methylation are stochastic and independent of canonical downstream efector signaling. These epigenetically altered genes associated with KRAS expression could represent potential therapeutic targets in KRAS-driven cancer. Activating KRAS mutations can be found in nearly 25 percent of all cancers1.

  • Elucidation of the ELK1 Target Gene Network Reveals a Role in the Coordinate Regulation of Core Components of the Gene Regulation Machinery

However, it is unclear how the specificity of downstream responses is maintained by individual members of transcription-factor families and, in most cases, what their target repertoire is. We have used ChIP-chip analysis to identify the target genes of the ETS-domain transcription factor ELK1. Two distinct modes of ELK1 target gene selection are identified; the first involves redundant promoter binding with other ETS-domain family members; the second occurs through combinatorial binding with a second transcription factor SRF, which specifies a unique group of target genes. One of the most prominent groups of genes forming the ELK1 target network includes classes involved in core gene expression control, namely, components of the basal transcriptional machinery, the spliceosome and the ribosome.

    Cancer Therapy: Clinical Pharmacodynamic Effects of Seliciclib, an Orally Administered Cell Cycle Modulator, in Undifferentiated Nasopharyngeal Cancer Wen-Son Hsieh,4 Ross Soo,1Bee-Keow Peh,2 Thomas Loh,4 Difeng Dong,3 Donny Soh,5 Lim-SoonWong,3,5 Simon Green,6 Judy Chiao,6 Chun-Ying Cui,1Yo k e -F o n g L a i , 4 Soo-Chin Lee,1Benjamin Mow,1 Richie Soong,2 Manuel Salto-Tellez,2 and Boon-Cher Goh1, 2 Abstract Purpose: Cell cycle dysregulation resulting in expression of antiapoptotic genes and uncontrolled proliferation is a feature of undifferentiated nasopharyngeal carcinoma. The pharmacodynamic effects of seliciclib, a cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) inhibitor, were studied in patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Experimental Design: Patients with treatment-naI«ve locally advanced nasopharyngeal carci- noma received seliciclib at 800 mg or 400 mg twice daily on days1 to 3 and 8 to12.Paired tumor samples obtained at baseline and on day 13 were assessed by light microscopy, immunohisto- chemistry, and transcriptionalprofiling using real-time PCR low-density array consisting of apanel of 380 genes related to cell cycle inhibition, apoptosis, signal transduction, and cell proliferation. Results: At 800 mg bd, one patient experienced grade 3 liver toxicity and another had grade 2 vomiting; no significant toxicities were experienced in 13 patients treated at 400 mg bd. Seven of fourteen evaluable patients had clinical evidence of tumor reduction. Some of these responses were associated with increased tumor apoptosis, necrosis, and decreases in plasma EBV DNA posttreatment. Reduced protein expression of Mcl-1, cyclin D1, phosphorylated retinoblastoma protein pRB (T821), and significant transcriptional down-regulation of genes related to cellular proliferation and survival were shown in some patients posttreatment, indicative of cell cycle modulation by seliciclib, more specifically inhibition of cdk2/cyclin E, cdk7/cyclin H, and cdk9/cyclinT.
