Itcs) in the Mouse Amygdala of Tshz1 Mutants Correlates with Fear, Depression, and Social Interaction Phenotypes

Despite this, the molecular processes guiding ITC development remain poorly understood. Here we establish the zinc finger transcription factor Tshz1 as a marker of ITCs during their migration from the dorsal lateral ganglionic eminence through maturity. Using germline and conditional knock-out (cKO) mouse models, we show that Tshz1 is required for the proper migration and differentiation of ITCs. In the absence of Tshz1, migrating ITC precursors fail to settle in their stereotypical locations encapsulating the lateral amygdala and BLA. Furthermore, they display reductions in the ITC marker Foxp2 and ectopic persistence of the dorsal lateral ganglionic eminence marker Sp8. -

Variations in Microrna-25 Expression Influence the Severity of Diabetic
BASIC RESEARCH www.jasn.org Variations in MicroRNA-25 Expression Influence the Severity of Diabetic Kidney Disease † † † Yunshuang Liu,* Hongzhi Li,* Jieting Liu,* Pengfei Han, Xuefeng Li, He Bai,* Chunlei Zhang,* Xuelian Sun,* Yanjie Teng,* Yufei Zhang,* Xiaohuan Yuan,* Yanhui Chu,* and Binghai Zhao* *Heilongjiang Key Laboratory of Anti-Fibrosis Biotherapy, Medical Research Center, Heilongjiang, People’s Republic of China; and †Clinical Laboratory of Hong Qi Hospital, Mudanjiang Medical University, Heilongjiang, People’s Republic of China ABSTRACT Diabetic nephropathy is characterized by persistent albuminuria, progressive decline in GFR, and second- ary hypertension. MicroRNAs are dysregulated in diabetic nephropathy, but identification of the specific microRNAs involved remains incomplete. Here, we show that the peripheral blood from patients with diabetes and the kidneys of animals with type 1 or 2 diabetes have low levels of microRNA-25 (miR-25) compared with those of their nondiabetic counterparts. Furthermore, treatment with high glucose decreased the expression of miR-25 in cultured kidney cells. In db/db mice, systemic administration of an miR-25 agomir repressed glomerular fibrosis and reduced high BP. Notably, knockdown of miR-25 in normal mice by systemic administration of an miR-25 antagomir resulted in increased proteinuria, extracellular matrix accumulation, podocyte foot process effacement, and hypertension with renin-angiotensin system activation. However, excessive miR-25 did not cause kidney dysfunction in wild-type mice. RNA sequencing showed the alteration of miR-25 target genes in antagomir-treated mice, including the Ras-related gene CDC42. In vitro,cotrans- fection with the miR-25 antagomir repressed luciferase activity from a reporter construct containing the CDC42 39 untranslated region. -

Selleck Professor and Head of the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School iii ABSTRACT Genome-wide measurements of epigenetic features such as histone modifications, occupancy by transcription factors and coactivators provide the opportunity to understand more globally how genes are regulated. While much effort is being put into integrating the marks from various combinations of features, the contribution of each feature to accuracy of enhancer prediction is not known. We began with predictions of 4,915 candidate erythroid enhancers based on genomic occupancy by TAL1, a key hematopoietic transcription factor that is strongly associated with gene induction in erythroid cells. Seventy of these DNA segments occupied by TAL1 (TAL1 OSs) were tested by transient transfections of cultured hematopoietic cells, and 56% of these were active as enhancers. Sixty-six TAL1 OSs were evaluated in transgenic mouse embryos, and 65% of these were active enhancers in various tissues. -

The Oestrogen Receptor Alpha-Regulated Lncrna NEAT1 Is a Critical Modulator of Prostate Cancer
ARTICLE Received 5 Dec 2013 | Accepted 26 Sep 2014 | Published 21 Nov 2014 DOI: 10.1038/ncomms6383 OPEN The oestrogen receptor alpha-regulated lncRNA NEAT1 is a critical modulator of prostate cancer Dimple Chakravarty1,2, Andrea Sboner1,2,3, Sujit S.

Rubin1,2 The androgen receptor (AR) plays a central role in establishing an oncogenic cascade that drives prostate cancer progression. Some prostate cancers escape androgen dependence and are often associated with an aggressive phenotype. The oestrogen receptor alpha (ERa)is expressed in prostate cancers, independent of AR status. However, the role of ERa remains elusive. Using a combination of chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) and RNA-sequencing data, we identified an ERa-specific non-coding transcriptome signature. Among putatively ERa-regulated intergenic long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), we identified nuclear enriched abundant transcript 1 (NEAT1) as the most significantly overexpressed lncRNA in prostate cancer. Analysis of two large clinical cohorts also revealed that NEAT1 expression is asso- ciated with prostate cancer progression. Prostate cancer cells expressing high levels of NEAT1 were recalcitrant to androgen or AR antagonists. Finally, we provide evidence that NEAT1 drives oncogenic growth by altering the epigenetic landscape of target gene promoters to favour transcription. 1 Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Weill Medical College of Cornell University, 413 East 69th Street, Room 1402, New York, New York 10021, USA. -
