Abstract Background The p53 transcription factor is located at the core of a complex wiring signaling pathways that are critical for preservation cellular homeostasis. Only recently it has become clear regulates expression several long intergenic noncoding RNAs (lincRNAs). However, relatively little known about role lincRNAs play in this pathway. Results Here we characterize lincRNA named Pint (p53 induced transcript). We show ubiquitously expressed finely regulated by p53. In mouse cells,...
It is now obvious that the majority of cellular transcripts do not code for proteins, and a significant subset them are long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs). Many lncRNAs show aberrant expression in cancer, some have been linked to cell transformation. However, underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood it unknown how sequences lncRNA dictate their function. Here we characterize function p53-regulated human LINC-PINT cancer. We find downregulated multiple types cancer acts as tumor suppressor...
Despite the inarguable relevance of p53 in cancer, genome-wide studies relating endogenous activity to expression lncRNAs human cells are still missing. Here, by integrating RNA-seq with ChIP-seq analyses a cancer cell line under DNA damage, we define high-confidence set 18 that transcriptional targets. We demonstrate two p53-regulated required for efficient binding some its target genes, modulating network and contributing apoptosis induction damage. also show p53-lncRNAs is lowered...
Induction and reversal of chromatin silencing is critical for successful development, tissue homeostasis, the derivation induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). X-Chromosome inactivation (XCI) reactivation (XCR) in female represent chromosome-wide transitions between active inactive states. Although XCI has long been studied, providing important insights into gene regulation, dynamics mechanisms underlying stable X-linked genes are much less understood. Here, we use allele-specific...
Cancer is characterized by genomic instability leading to deletion or amplification of oncogenes tumor suppressors. However, most the altered regions are devoid known cancer drivers. Here, we identify lncRNAs frequently lost amplified in cancer. Among them, found lncRNA associated with lung cancer-1 (ALAL-1) as adenocarcinomas. ALAL-1 also overexpressed additional types, such squamous carcinoma. The RNA product able promote proliferation and tumorigenicity cells. a TNFα- NF-κB-induced...
Abstract Single-cell multi-omics methods enable the study of cell state diversity, which is largely determined by interplay genome, epigenome, and transcriptome. Here, we describe Gtag&T-seq, a genome-and-transcriptome sequencing (G&T-seq) protocol same single cells that omits whole-genome amplification (WGA) using direct genomic tagmentation (Gtag). Gtag drastically decreases cost improves coverage uniformity at single-cell pseudo-bulk levels compared to WGA-based G&T-seq. We...
Background The EVI1 gene (3q26) codes for a zinc finger transcription factor with important roles in both mammalian development and leukemogenesis. Over-expression of through either 3q26 rearrangements, MLL fusions, or other unknown mechanisms confers poor prognosis acute myeloid leukemia.Design Methods We analyzed the prevalence prognostic impact over-expression series 476 patients leukemia, investigated epigenetic modifications locus which could be involved transcriptional regulation this...

Glioblastoma, the most aggressive primary brain tumor, is genetically heterogeneous. Alternative splicing (AS) plays a key role in numerous pathologies, including cancer. The objectives of our study were to determine whether aberrant AS could play malignant phenotype glioma and understand mechanism underlying its regulation.We obtained surgical samples from patients with glioblastoma who underwent 5-aminolevulinic fluorescence-guided surgery. Biopsies taken tumor center as well adjacent...
Abstract: The complex universe of RNA transcribed by mammalian cells includes thousands large molecules that do not encode for proteins. Despite their lack coding capacity and relatively low conservation, many noncoding (lncRNAs) have been shown to be functional, adding a new level complexity on the structural organization, function, evolution genome. Here, we summarize current knowledge lncRNAs, starting from methodologies led identification genomic evolutive features. We discuss diverse...
Summary The ability to predict the future behaviour of an individual cancer is crucial for precision medicine and, in particular, development strategies that prevent acquisition resistance anti-cancer drugs. Therapy resistance, which often develops from a heterogeneous pool drug-tolerant cells known as minimal residual disease (MRD), thought mainly occur through genetic alterations. Increasing evidence, however, indicates drug might also be acquired though nongenetic mechanisms. A key...
<title>Abstract</title> Patients with GATA2 deficiency are predisposed to developing myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), which can progress acute myeloid leukemia (AML). This progression is often associated the acquisition of additional cytogenetic and somatic alterations. Mutations in SETBP1 ASXL1 genes frequently observed pediatric patients, but their roles disease remain poorly understood. Genome editing induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) enabled precise reconstruction mutation...

Background: GATA2 deficiency has been identified as a common hereditary cause of myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) and acute myeloid leukemia in children. Penetrance expressivity within affected families is often variable, suggesting that cooperating factors are required to trigger the disease. Somatic mutations MDS driver genes (i.e. SETBP1, ASXL1) have GATA2-MDS. Despite recent studies identifying germline genetics acquired deficiency, understanding molecular mechanism triggers leukemic...
