Description
The development of high-throughput genomic technologies has revealed that a large fraction of the genomes of eukaryotes is associated with the expression of noncoding RNAs. One class of noncoding RNA, the cis-natural antisense transcripts (cis-NATs), are particularly interesting as they are at least partially complementary to the protein-coding mRNAs. Although most studies described cis-NATs involved in the regulation of transcription, a few reports have shown recently that cis-NATs can also regulate translation of the cognate sense coding genes in plants and mammals. In order to identify novel examples of translation regulator cis-NATs in Arabidopsis thaliana, we designed a high-throughput experiment based on polysome profiling and RNA-sequencing. Expression of cis-NATs and translation efficiency of the cognate coding mRNAs were measured in roots and shoots in response to various conditions, including phosphate deficiency and treatment with phytohormones. We identified several promising candidates, and validated a few of them experimentally, in Arabidopsis thaliana transgenic lines over-expressing in trans the translation regulator candidate cis-NATs. Overall design: total RNA and polysomal RNA was sequenced from Arabidopsis thaliana whole seedlings grown in high or low pohsphate content, or from roots or shoots from seedlings treated or not with different phytohormones (Ctrl, IAA, ABA,MeJA and ACC). 3 biological replicates were analyzed for each of the 12 experimental conditions.

Affymetrix Mouse Gene 2.0 ST Array (mogene20st)
Description
ZBTB4 is a mammalian transcription factor with Zinc fingers and a BTB/POZ domain, which can bind methylated CpGs, as well as certain unmethylated consensus sequences. ZBTB4 is frequently downregulated in human cancers, but it is unclear whether this is a cause or consequence of transformation. To investigate the role of ZBTB4 in normal and pathological conditions, we generated Zbtb4-/- mice

Description
Little is known about the impact of fasting on gene regulation in human adipose tissue. Accordingly, the objective of this study was to investigate the effects of fasting on adipose tissue gene expression in humans. To that end, subcutaneous adipose tissue biopsies were collected from volunteers 2h and 26h after consumption of a standardized meal. For comparison, epididymal adipose tissue was collected from C57Bl/6J mice after a 16h fast and in the ab-libitum fed state. Transcriptome analysis was carried out using Affymetrix microarrays. We found that, 1) fasting downregulated numerous metabolic pathways in human adipose tissue, including triglyceride and fatty acid synthesis, glycolysis and glycogen synthesis, TCA cycle, oxidative phosphorylation, mitochondrial translation, and insulin signaling; 2) fasting downregulated genes involved in proteasomal degradation in human adipose tissue; 3) fasting had much less pronounced effects on the adipose tissue transcriptome in humans than mi ce; 4) although major overlap in fasting-induced gene regulation was observed between human and mouse adipose tissue, many genes were differentially regulated in the two species, including genes involved in insulin signaling (PRKAG2, PFKFB3), PPAR signaling (PPARG, ACSL1, HMGCS2, SLC22A5, ACOT1), glycogen metabolism (PCK1, PYGB), and lipid droplets (PLIN1, PNPLA2, CIDEA, CIDEC). In conclusion, although numerous genes and pathways are regulated similarly by fasting in human and mouse adipose tissue, many genes show very distinct responses to fasting in humans and mice. Our data provide a useful resource to study adipose tissue function during fasting.

Description
Chronic cold exposure causes white adipose tissue (WAT) to adopt features of brown adipose tissue, a process known as browning. Previous studies have hinted at a possible role for the transcription factor Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor alpha (PPAR) in cold-induced browning. Here we aimed to investigate the importance of PPAR in driving transcriptional changes during cold-induced browning in mice. Male wildtype and PPAR/ mice were housed at thermoneutrality (28 C) or cold (5 C) for 10 days. Whole genome expression analysis was performed on inguinal WAT. In addition, other analyses were carried out. Whole genome expression data of livers of wildtype and PPAR/ mice fasted for 24 h served as positive control for PPAR-dependent gene regulation.Cold exposure increased food intake and decreased weight of BAT and WAT to a similar extent in wildtype and PPAR/ mice. Except for plasma non-esterified fatty acids, none of the cold-induced changes in plasma metabolites were dependent on PPAR genotype. Histological analysis of inguinal WAT showed clear browning upon cold exposure but did not reveal any morphological differences between wildtype and PPAR/ mice. Transcriptomics analysis of inguinal WAT showed a marked effect of cold on overall gene expression, as revealed by principle component analysis and hierarchical clustering. However, wildtype and PPAR/ mice clustered together, even after cold exposure, indicating a similar overall gene expression profile in the two genotypes. Pathway analysis revealed that cold upregulated pathways involved in energy usage, oxidative phosphorylation, and fatty acid -oxidation to a similar extent in wildtype and PPAR/ mice. Furthermore, cold-mediated induction of genes related to thermogenesis such as Ucp1, Elovl3, Cox7a1, Cox8, and Cidea, as well as many PPAR target genes, was similar in wildtype and PPAR/ mice. Finally, pharmacological PPAR activation had a minimal effect on expression of cold-induced genes in murine WAT.Cold-induced changes in gene expression in inguinal WAT are unaltered in mice lacking PPAR, indicating that PPAR is dispensable for cold-induced browning.

Description
In this study we determine the transcriptional profile by RNAseq of mESC in the absence of Smad1 and Smad5 and in subpopulation of mESC with different levels of BMP-SMAD activation. Overall design: Transcriptome analysis using RNAseq was performed on 3 biological replicates of BRE negative and positive mESC subpopulations, which were collected in pairs at 3 different times. Transcriptome analysis using RNAseq was performed on Smad1/5 floxed (FL) and knockout (KO) mESC. Two different parental cell lines were used. For each parental cell line we analyzed one Smad1/5 FL sample and two Smad1/5 KO samples, resulting in respectively two and four biological replicates for the FL and KO conditions.

Description
Repair of injured muscle involves repair of injured myofibers through the involvement of dysferlin and its interacting partners, including annexin. Studies with mice and patients have established that dysferlin deficit leads to chronic inflammation and adipogenic replacement of the diseased muscle. However, longitudinal analysis of annexin deficit on muscle pathology and function is lacking. Here we show that unlike annexin A1, but similar to dysferlin, lack of annexin A2 (AnxA2) causes poor myofiber repair and progressive weakening with age. However, unlike dysferlin-deficient muscle, AnxA2-deficient muscles do not exhibit chronic inflammation or adipogenic replacement. Deletion of AnxA2 in dysferlin deficient mice reduces inflammation, adipogenic replacement, and loss in muscle function caused by dysferlin deficit. These results show that: a) AnxA2 facilitates myofiber repair, b) chronic inflammation and adipogenic replacement of dysferlinopathic muscle requires AnxA2, and c) inhibiting AnxA2-mediated inflammation is a novel therapeutic avenue for dysferlinopathy.

Description
A deficiency of pejvakin, a protein of unknown function, causes a strikingly heterogeneous form of deafness. Pejvakin-deficient (Pjvk-/-) mice also exhibited variable auditory phenotypes. Correlation between their hearing thresholds and the number of pups per cage suggested a possible harmful effect of pup vocalizations. Direct sound or electrical stimulation showed that the cochlear sensory hair cells and auditory pathway neurons of Pjvk-/- mice and patients were exceptionally vulnerable to sound. Pjvk-/- cochleas displayed features of marked oxidative stress and impaired anti-oxidant defenses. We showed that pejvakin is associated with peroxisomes, and is required for the oxidative stress-induced proliferation of these organelles. In Pjvk-/- hair cells, peroxisomes displayed structural abnormalities after the onset of hearing. Noise-exposure of wild-type mice rapidly upregulated Pjvk cochlear transcription, and triggered peroxisome proliferation in hair cells and primary auditory neurons. Our results reveal that the anti-oxidant activity of peroxisomes protects the auditory system against noise-induced damage.
