Description
Large-scale genome sequencing is poised to provide a substantial increase in the rate of discovery of disease-associated mutations, but the functional interpretation of such mutations remains challenging. Here we show that deletions of a sequence on human chromosome 16 that we term the intestine-critical region (ICR) cause intractable congenital diarrhoea in infants. Reporter assays in transgenic mice show that the ICR contains a regulatory sequence that activates transcription during the development of the gastrointestinal system. Targeted deletion of the ICR in mice caused symptoms that recapitulated the human condition. Transcriptome analysis revealed that an unannotated open reading frame (Percc1) flanks the regulatory sequence, and the expression of this gene was lost in the developing gut of mice that lacked the ICR. Percc1 knockout mice displayed phenotypes similar to those observed on ICR deletion in mice and patients, whereas an ICR-driven Percc1 transgene was sufficient to rescue the phenotypes found in mice that lacked the ICR. Together, our results identify a gene that is critical for intestinal function and underscore the need for targeted in vivo studies to interpret the growing number of clinical genetic findings that do not affect known protein-coding genes. Overall design: Total RNA-seq from dissected regions of the digestive tract, from wild-type and percc1-/- mice.

Description
Androgen receptor (AR) signaling is a distinctive feature of prostate cancer (PC) and represents the major therapeutic target for the treatment of metastatic disease. Though highly effective, AR antagonism has the potential to generate tumors that bypass a functional requirement for AR activity. We show here that a phenotypic shift has occurred in metastatic PCs with the emer-gence of a double-negative AR-null neuroendocrine-null phenotype that is notable for MAPK and FGF pathway activity. To identify mechanisms capable of sustaining PC survival, we gener-ated a model system designated AR program-independent prostate cancer (APIPC) which re-sists AR-targeted therapeutics, lacks neuroendocrine features, expresses high levels of FGF8 and the ID1 oncogene, and activates MAPK signaling. Pharmacological blockade of MAPK or FGF signaling inhibited APIPC tumor growth, supporting FGF/MAPK as a therapeutic avenue for treating AR-null PC. Overall design: RNA sequencing of human prostate tumor cell lines using the Illumina TruSeq Library prep and sequenced on Illumina HiSeq 2500.

Description
Integration of high-risk human papillomavirus (HRHPV) into the host genome is a key event in cervical neoplastic progression. Integration is associated with deregulated expression of the viral oncogenes E6 and E7 and acquisition of a selective growth advantage for cells containing integrants. Overexpression of the viral transcriptional regulator E2 from heterologous promoters has an inhibitory effect on transcription from integrated HRHPV. We therefore hypothesised that loss of E2-expressing episomes from cells in which integration had previously occurred would be required for such cells to gain a growth advantage. Using the unique W12 model of cervical squamous carcinogenesis, we show that cells containing integrated HPV16 reproducibly emerged during long-term culture when there had been a rapid fall in episome numbers. During the period of emergence it is possible to isolate single-cell clones containing an intracellular mixture of the integrant being selected and episomes at reduced load. Microarray analysis showed that episome loss was closely associated with endogenous activation of antiviral response genes that are also inducible by the type I interferon (IFN) pathway. Taken together, our results indicate that episome loss, associated with induction of antiviral response genes, is a key event in the spontaneous selection of cervical keratinocytes containing integrated HPV16. We conclude that cervical carcinogenesis requires not only HRHPV integration, but also loss of inhibitory episomes.

Description
We sought to apply the technologies of gene expression profiling to detect genes significant in the aetiology of cervical carcinoma . We investigated 14 normal (NAD), 11 low grade squamous intrapepithelial lesions (LSIL), 21 high grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HSIL) and 28 squamous cell carcinomas by Affymetrix GeneChip whole transcriptome profiling. Two SCC cell lines were also included in the cohort. Normal and SILS were profiled using the Affymetrix U133A platform, while SCCs and Cell lines were profiled using the Affymetrix U133A plus 2.0 array.

Description
We used RNA sequencing to profile over 70 transcriptomes of CD4+ T cells, a cell type crucial for Coeliac Disease CD pathogenesis, in both stimulated and resting samples from individuals with CD and unaffected controls The data gave us the opportunity to (i) compare gene expression between cases and controls; (ii) specifically assess whether genes that have been genetically associated with the disease were being DE; (iii) and also look for known and novel aspects of pathogenesis in the transcriptome of this specific cellular compartment. Overall design: RNA sequencing was performed on mRNA extracted from the CD4+ T cells of 15 Coeliac patients and 11 Controls that had been stimulated with anti-CD3/anti-CD28, PMA and left unstimulated. In total we sequenced 74 transcriptome samples using 50bp reads on an Illumina HiSeqâ„¢ 2000.

Description
Although gain of chromosome-5p is one of the most frequent DNA copy number imbalances in cervical squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), the genes that drive its selection remain poorly understood. In a previous cross-sectional clinical study we showed that the microRNA processor Drosha (located on chromosome-5p) demonstrates frequent copy-number gain and over-expression in cervical SCC, associated with altered microRNA profiles. Here, we have conducted gene depletion/over-expression experiments to demonstrate the functional significance of up-regulated Drosha in cervical SCC cells. Drosha depletion by RNA-interference (RNAi) produced significant, specific reductions in cell motility/invasiveness in vitro, with a silent RNAi-resistant Drosha mutation providing phenotype rescue. Unsupervised hierarchical clustering following global profiling of 319 microRNAs in eighteen cervical SCC cell line specimens generated two groups according to Drosha expression levels. Altering Drosha levels in individual SCC lines changed the group into which the cells clustered, with gene depletion effects being rescued by the RNAi-resistant mutation. Forty-five microRNAs showed significant differential expression between the groups, including four of fourteen that were differentially-expressed in association with Drosha levels in clinical samples. miR-31 up-regulation in Drosha over-expressing samples/cell lines was the highest-ranked change (by adjusted p-value) in both analyses, an observation validated by Northern blotting. These functional data support the role of Drosha as an oncogene in cervical SCC, by affecting expression of cancer-associated microRNAs that have the potential to regulate numerous protein-coding genes.
