Atg7 Deficiency in Microglia Drives an Altered Transcriptomic Profile Associated with an Impaired Neuroinflammatory Response Friess et al. Mol Brain (2021) 14:87 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13041-021-00794-7 RESEARCH Open Access Atg7 defciency in microglia drives an altered transcriptomic profle associated with an impaired neuroinfammatory response Lara Friess, Mathilde Cheray, Lily Keane, Kathleen Grabert and Bertrand Joseph* Abstract Microglia, resident immunocompetent cells of the central nervous system, can display a range of reaction states and thereby exhibit distinct biological functions across development, adulthood and under disease conditions. Distinct gene expression profles are reported to defne each of these microglial reaction states. Hence, the identifcation of modulators of selective microglial transcriptomic signature, which have the potential to regulate unique microglial function has gained interest. Here, we report the identifcation of ATG7 (Autophagy-related 7) as a selective modula- tor of an NF-κB-dependent transcriptional program controlling the pro-infammatory response of microglia. We also uncover that microglial Atg7-defciency was associated with reduced microglia-mediated neurotoxicity, and thus a loss of biological function associated with the pro-infammatory microglial reactive state. Further, we show that Atg7- defciency in microglia did not impact on their ability to respond to alternative stimulus, such as one driving them towards an anti-infammatory/tumor supportive phenotype. The identifcation of distinct regulators, such as Atg7, controlling specifc microglial transcriptional programs could lead to developing novel therapeutic strategies aim- ing to manipulate selected microglial phenotypes, instead of the whole microglial population with is associated with several pitfalls.

    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN PALM-IST: Pathway Assembly from Literature Mining - an Information Search Tool Received: 06 September 2014 Accepted: 18 February 2015 Sapan Mandloi & Saikat Chakrabarti Published: 19 May 2015 Manual curation of biomedical literature has become extremely tedious process due to its exponential growth in recent years. To extract meaningful information from such large and unstructured text, newer and more efficient mining tool is required. Here, we introduce PALM-IST, a computational platform that not only allows users to explore biomedical abstracts using keyword based text mining but also extracts biological entity (e.g., gene/protein, drug, disease, biological processes, cellular component, etc.) information from the extracted text and subsequently mines various databases to provide their comprehensive inter-relation (e.g., interaction, expression, etc.). PALM-IST constructs protein interaction network and pathway information data relevant to the text search using multiple data mining tools and assembles them to create a meta-interaction network. It also analyzes scientific collaboration by extraction and creation of “co-authorship network,” for a given search context. Hence, this useful combination of literature and data mining provided in PALM- IST can be used to extract novel protein-protein interaction (PPI), to generate meta-pathways and further to identify key crosstalk and bottleneck proteins. PALM-IST is available at www.hpppi.iicb. res.in/ctm. Biomedical research has shifted from studying individual gene and protein to complete biological sys- tem. In today’s age of “big data biology” embraced with overwhelming amount of publication records and of high-throughput data, automated and efficient text and data mining platforms are absolutely essential to access and present biological information into more computable and comprehensible form1–3.

Here, we present an approach to create isogenic pairs of cells that avoids single cell cloning, and screen these pairs with genome-wide CRISPR-Cas9 libraries to generate genetic interaction maps. We query the anti-apoptotic genes BCL2L1 and MCL1, and the DNA damage repair gene PARP1, identifying both expected and uncharacterized buffering and synthetic lethal interactions. Additionally, we compare acute CRISPR-based knockout, single cell clones, and small- molecule inhibition. We observe that, while the approaches provide largely overlapping information, differences emerge, highlighting an important consideration when employing genetic screens to identify and characterize potential drug targets. We anticipate that this methodology will be broadly useful to comprehensively study gene function across many contexts. 1 Genetic Perturbation Platform, Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, 75 Ames Street, Cambridge, MA 02142, USA. 2These authors contributed equally: Peter C.

The morbidity and mortality of esophageal cancer (EC) are still high worldwide. Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is the most common tissue subtype of EC. This article reviews the related concepts, biological functions and recent advances of m6A methylation in ESCC, and looks forward to the prospect of m6A methylation as a new diagnostic biomarker and potential therapeutic target for ESCC.

ABSTRACT Despite evidence about the implication of the bone marrow (BM) stromal microenvironment in multiple myeloma (MM) cell growth and survival, little is known about the effects of myelomatous cells on BM stromal cells. Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) from healthy donors (dMSCs) or myeloma patients (pMSCs) were co- cultured with the myeloma cell line MM.1S, and the transcriptomic profile of MSCs induced by this interaction was analyzed. Deregulated genes after co-culture common to both d/pMSCs revealed functional involvement in tumor microenvironment cross- talk, myeloma growth induction and drug resistance, angiogenesis and signals for osteoclast activation and osteoblast inhibition.
