Background: The Notch signaling pathway controls cellular interactions important for the specification of a For research use only. Not intended for diagnostic or therapeutic use. variety of fates in both invertebrates and vertebrates. Key players in the Notch pathway are the TLE genes (for transducin-like enhancer of split, also designated ESG for enhancer of split groucho), which are human homologs of the Drosophila groucho gene. Groucho is a transcriptional repressor that plays a key role in neurogenesis, segmentation and sex determination. TLEs associate with chromatin in live cells and specifically with Histone H3, but not with other core histones. Expression of the TLE genes, TLE1, TLE2, TLE3 and TLE4, correlate with immature epithelial cells that are progressing toward a terminally differentiated state, suggesting a role during epithelial differentiation. TLE1, TLE2 and TLE3 have elevated expression in cervical squamous metaplasias and carcinomas, while TLE4 is most highly expressed in the brain, particularly in the caudate nucleus. TLE1 and TLE4 contain SP and WD40 domains, through which TLE1 binds AML1 to inhibit AML1-induced transactivation of the CSF1 receptor. In early stages of cell differentiation, TLE1 is upregulated, and TLE2 and TLE4 are downregulated. In later stages, TLE2 and TLE4 are upregulated, and expression of TLE1 decreases..

Abstract Prenatal high-fat diet exposure increases hypothalamic neurogenesis events in embryos and programs offspring to be obesity-prone. The molecular mechanism involved in these dietary effects of neurogenesis are unknown. This study investigated the effects of oleic and palmitic acids, which are abundant in a high-fat diet, on the hypothalamic neuronal transcriptome and how these changes impact neurogenesis events. The results show differential effects of low and high concentrations of oleic or palmitic acid treatment on differential gene transcription.

RTA activates its target genes through direct binding with high affinity to its responsive elements or by interaction with cellular factors, such as RBP-J␬, Ap-1, C/EBP-␣, and Oct-1. In this study, we identified jvi.asm.org transducin-like enhancer of split 2 (TLE2) as a novel RTA binding protein by using yeast two-hybrid screening of a human spleen cDNA library. The interaction between TLE2 and RTA was confirmed by glutathione S-transferase (GST) binding and coimmunoprecipitation assays.

Published OnlineFirst April 5, 2021; DOI: 10.1158/2159-8290.CD-20-1677 ABSTRACT The adoptive transfer of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells represents a breakthrough in clinical oncology, yet both between- and within-patient differences in autologously derived T cells are a major contributor to therapy failure. To interrogate the molecular determinants of clinical CAR T-cell persistence, we extensively characterized the premanufacture T cells of 71 patients with B-cell malignancies on trial to receive anti-CD19 CAR T-cell therapy. We performed RNA-sequencing analysis on sorted T-cell subsets from all 71 patients, followed by paired Cellular Indexing of Transcriptomes and Epitopes (CITE) sequencing and single-cell assay for transposase-accessible chromatin sequencing (scATAC-seq) on T cells from six of these patients. We found that chronic IFN signaling regulated by IRF7 was associated with poor CAR T-cell persistence across T-cell subsets, and that the TCF7 regulon not only associates with the favorable naïve T-cell state, but is maintained in effector T cells among patients with long-term CAR T-cell persistence.

Malignant Peripheral Nerve Sheath Tumor (MPNST), a common malignancy in patients with Neurofibromatosis, and colorectal cancer are midkine- producing tumors with high mortality rates. In vitro and preclinical xenograft models of MPNST were utilized in this dissertation to study the role of midkine (MDK), a tumor-specific gene over- expressed in these tumors and to test the efficacy of a MDK-transcriptionally targeted oncolytic HSV-1 (oHSV).

Foxg1 and TLE2 Act Cooperatively to Regulate Ventral Telencephalon
RESEARCH ARTICLE 1553 Development 137, 1553-1562 (2010) doi:10.1242/dev.044909 © 2010. Published by The Company of Biologists Ltd FoxG1 and TLE2 act cooperatively to regulate ventral telencephalon formation Martin Roth1,*, Boyan Bonev1,†, Jennefer Lindsay1,†, Robert Lea1,†, Niki Panagiotaki1, Corinne Houart2 and Nancy Papalopulu1,‡ SUMMARY FoxG1 is a conserved transcriptional repressor that plays a key role in the specification, proliferation and differentiation of the telencephalon, and is expressed from the earliest stages of telencephalic development through to the adult. How the interaction with co-factors might influence the multiplicity and diversity of FoxG1 function is not known. Here, we show that interaction of FoxG1 with TLE2, a Xenopus tropicalis co-repressor of the Groucho/TLE family, is crucial for regulating the early activity of FoxG1. We show that TLE2 is co-expressed with FoxG1 in the ventral telencephalon from the early neural plate stage and functionally cooperates with FoxG1 in an ectopic neurogenesis assay. FoxG1 has two potential TLE binding sites: an N-terminal eh1 motif and a C-terminal YWPMSPF motif. Although direct binding seems to be mediated by the N-terminal motif, both motifs appear important for functional synergism. In the neurogenesis assay, mutation of either motif abolishes functional cooperation of TLE2 with FoxG1, whereas in the forebrain deletion of both motifs renders FoxG1 unable to induce the ventral telencephalic marker Nkx2.1. Knocking down either FoxG1 or TLE2 disrupts the development of the ventral telencephalon, supporting the idea that endogenous TLE2 and FoxG1 work together to specify the ventral telencephalon. KEY WORDS: FoxG1, TLE, Xenopus, Telencephalon INTRODUCTION neural tube (Ahlgren et al., 2003).
