To characterize the genetic composition of NPM1 mutated (NPM1mut) AML, we assess mutation status of five recurrently mutated oncogenes in 129 paired NPM1mut samples obtained at diagnosis and relapse. We find a substantial shift in the genetic pattern from diagnosis to relapse including NPM1mut loss (n = 11). To better understand these NPM1mut loss cases, we perform whole exome sequencing (WES) and RNA-Seq. At the time of relapse, NPM1mut loss patients (pts) feature distinct mutational patterns that share almost no somatic mutation with the corresponding diagnosis sample and impact different signaling pathways. In contrast, profiles of pts with persistent NPM1mut are reflected by a high overlap of mutations between diagnosis and relapse. Our findings confirm that relapse often originates from persistent leukemic clones, though NPM1mut loss cases suggest a second “de novo” or treatment-associated AML (tAML) as alternative cause of relapse. 1 Department of Internal Medicine III, University Hospital of Ulm, Ulm 89081, Germany. 2 Department of Internal Medicine II, Hematology and Oncology, Friedrich-Schiller-University Medical Center, Jena 07743, Germany. 3 Leibniz-Institute on Aging, Fritz-Lipmann-Institute, Jena 07745, Germany. 4 Institute of Cell & Molecular Pathology, Hannover Medical School, Hannover 30625, Germany. 5 Department of Haematology, Haemostasis, Oncology, and Stem Cell Transplantation, Hannover Medical School, Hannover 30625, Germany. 6 Institute of Medical Systems Biology, Ulm University, Ulm 30625, Germany. 7 Department of Hematology, Oncology and Tumorimmunology, Charité University Medicine, Berlin 13353, Germany. 8These authors contributed equally: Lars Bullinger, Konstanze Döhner.

Raskind1,4, Raphael Bernier1,JiEunLee2,5 and Zoran Brkanac1 Abstract Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a complex neurodevelopmental disorder with a strong genetic component. Although next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies have been successfully applied to gene identification in de novo ASD, the genetic architecture of familial ASD remains largely unexplored. Our approach, which leverages the high specificity and sensitivity of NGS technology, has focused on rare variants in familial autism. We used NGS exome sequencing in 26 families with distantly related affected individuals to identify genes with private gene disrupting and missense variants of interest (VOI). We found that the genes carrying VOIs were enriched for biological processes related to cell projection organization and neuron development, which is consistent with the neurodevelopmental hypothesis of ASD. For a subset of genes carrying VOIs, we then used targeted NGS sequencing and gene-based variant burden case-control analysis to test for association with ASD. Missense variants in one gene, CEP41, associated significantly with ASD (p = 6.185e−05). Homozygous gene-disrupting variants in CEP41 were initially found to be responsible for recessive Joubert syndrome. Using a zebrafish model, we evaluated the mechanism by which the 1234567890():,; 1234567890():,; 1234567890():,; 1234567890():,; CEP41 variants might contribute to ASD. We found that CEP41 missense variants affect development of the axonal tract, cranial neural crest migration and social behavior phenotype.

This is perhaps most evident in cancer cells, which overexpress Hsp70 and thrive even when harboring high levels of misfolded proteins. To define the response to proteotoxic challenges, we examined adaptive responses in breast cancer cells in the presence of an Hsp70 inhibitor. We discovered that the cells bin into distinct classes based on inhibitor sensitivity. Strikingly, the most resistant cells have higher autophagy levels, and autophagy was maximally activated only in resistant cells upon Hsp70 inhibition. In turn, resistance to compromised Hsp70 *For correspondence: function required the integrated stress response transducer, GCN2, which is commonly associated [email protected] (SS); with amino acid starvation.

The translational machinery can be recruited by malignant cells to synthesize proteins required to promote their survival, even in times of high physiological and pathological stress. This phenomenon has been described in several cancers including in gliomas. Abnormal regulation of translation has encouraged the development of new therapeutics targeting the protein synthesis pathway. This approach could be meaningful for glioma given the fact that the median survival following diagnosis of the highest grade of glioma remains short despite current therapy. The identification of new targets for the development of novel therapeutics is therefore needed in order to improve this devastating overall survival rate. This review discusses current literature on translation in gliomas with a focus on the initiation step covering both the cap-dependent and cap-independent modes of initiation.

  • Integrated Stress Response of Vertebrates Is Regulated by Four
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Integrated stress response of vertebrates is regulated by four eIF2α kinases Received: 20 March 2016 Shusuke Taniuchi1,2,3, Masato Miyake1,2,3, Kazue Tsugawa1,2, Miho Oyadomari1,2 & Accepted: 16 August 2016 Seiichi Oyadomari1,2,3 Published: 16 September 2016 The integrated stress response (ISR) is a cytoprotective pathway initiated upon phosphorylation of the eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2 (eIF2α) residue designated serine-51, which is critical for translational control in response to various stress conditions. Four eIF2α kinases, namely heme- regulated inhibitor (HRI), protein kinase R (PKR), PKR-like endoplasmic reticulum kinase, (PERK) and general control non-depressible 2 (GCN2), have been identified thus far, and they are known to be activated by heme depletion, viral infection, endoplasmic reticulum stress, and amino acid starvation, respectively. Because eIF2α is phosphorylated under various stress conditions, the existence of an additional eIF2α kinase has been suggested. To validate the existence of the unidentified eIF2α kinase, we constructed an eIF2α kinase quadruple knockout cells (4KO cells) in which the four known eIF2α kinase genes were deleted using the CRISPR/Cas9-mediated genome editing. Phosphorylation of eIF2α was completely abolished in the 4KO cells by various stress stimulations. Our data suggests that the four known eIF2α kinases are sufficient for ISR and that there are no additional eIF2α kinases in vertebrates. The α subunit of eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2 (eIF2α ) is known to be phosphorylated by diverse stress stimuli1. There are several phosphorylation sites in eIF2α, but serine 51 is critical for translational control2. eIF2α phosphorylation causes transient attenuation of the translation of most mRNAs and transcriptional induc- tion by selective translation of transcription factors.

  • Epigenetic Mechanisms Are Involved in the Oncogenic Properties of ZNF518B in Colorectal Cancer
    Epigenetic mechanisms are involved in the oncogenic properties of ZNF518B in colorectal cancer Francisco Gimeno-Valiente, Ángela L. Riffo-Campos, Luis Torres, Noelia Tarazona, Valentina Gambardella, Andrés Cervantes, Gerardo López-Rodas, Luis Franco and Josefa Castillo SUPPLEMENTARY METHODS 1. Selection of genomic sequences for ChIP analysis To select the sequences for ChIP analysis in the five putative target genes, namely, PADI3, ZDHHC2, RGS4, EFNA5 and KAT2B, the genomic region corresponding to the gene was downloaded from Ensembl. Then, zoom was applied to see in detail the promoter, enhancers and regulatory sequences. The details for HCT116 cells were then recovered and the target sequences for factor binding examined. Obviously, there are not data for ZNF518B, but special attention was paid to the target sequences of other zinc-finger containing factors. Finally, the regions that may putatively bind ZNF518B were selected and primers defining amplicons spanning such sequences were searched out. Supplementary Figure S3 gives the location of the amplicons used in each gene. 2. Obtaining the raw data and generating the BAM files for in silico analysis of the effects of EHMT2 and EZH2 silencing The data of siEZH2 (SRR6384524), siG9a (SRR6384526) and siNon-target (SRR6384521) in HCT116 cell line, were downloaded from SRA (Bioproject PRJNA422822, https://www.ncbi. nlm.nih.gov/bioproject/), using SRA-tolkit (https://ncbi.github.io/sra-tools/). All data correspond to RNAseq single end. doBasics = TRUE doAll = FALSE $ fastq-dump -I --split-files SRR6384524 Data quality was checked using the software fastqc (https://www.bioinformatics.babraham. ac.uk /projects/fastqc/). The first low quality removing nucleotides were removed using FASTX- Toolkit (http://hannonlab.cshl.edu/fastxtoolkit/).
