Description
In this study, we generated a zebrafish model of DBA with RPL5 morphants and implemented high-throughput RNA-seq and miRNA-seq to identify key genes, lncRNAs, and miRNAs during zebrafish development and hematopoiesis. We found that RPL5 is required for both primitive and definitive hematopoiesis processes that are partially mediated by the P53 pathway. Several genes such as cirh1a, noc2l, tars, and nol6 and miRNAs such as dre-miR-10a*, dre-miR-722, dre-miR-737, and dre-miR-142a-3p were significantly deregulated, and these changes may play a crucial role in hematopoiesis, ribosome biogenesis and development process. We also characterized the lncRNome in zebrafish with RPL5 deficiency. By constructing a comprehensive regulatory network, we identified central node genes in the network connected to the P53 pathway, almost all of which were targeted by the significantly deregulated miRNAs listed above. Our results therefore establish a regulatory network for critical genes and miRNAs involved in the RPL5-deficient zebrafish model and provide a comprehensive basis for the molecular pathogenesis of RPL5-mediated DBA and other ribosomopathies. Overall design: Determine the differences of transcriptome between RPL5-deficient and MO control zebrafish embryos for understanding the complex molecular pathogenesis of mutant RPL5-mediated human diseases

Description
The present study was constructed to confirm previous findings that mice on a high fat diet (HFD) treated by subcutaneous injection with exenatide (EXE) at 3g/kg once daily for 6 weeks develop exocrine pancreatic injury (Rouse et al. 2014). The present study included 12 weeks of EXE exposure at multiple concentrations (3, 10, or 30 g/kg) with multiple endpoints (histopathology evaluations, immunoassay for cytokines, immunostaining of the pancreas, serum chemistries and measurement of trypsin, amylase, and, lipase, and gene expression profiles). Time- and dose-dependent exocrine pancreatic injury was observed in mice associated with EXE exposure in a HFD environment. The time- and dose-dependent morphological changes identified in the pancreas involved acinar cell injury and death (autophagy, apoptosis, necrosis, and atrophy), cell adaptations (hypertrophy and hyperplasia), and cell survival (regeneration) accompanied with varying degrees of inflammatory response leading to secondary injury in pancreatic blood vessels, ducts, and adipose tissues. Gene expression profiles supported the presence of increased signaling for cell survival and altered lipid metabolism. The potential for EXE to cause acute or early chronic pancreatic injury was identified in a HFD environment. In human disease, the influence of pancreatitis risk factors or pre-existing chronic pancreatitis on this injury potential requires further investigation.

Description
To guarantee blood supply throughout adult life hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) need to carefully balance between self-renewing cell divisions and quiescence. Identification of genes controlling HSC self-renewal is of utmost importance given that HSCs are the only stem cells with broad clinical applications. Transcription factor PU.1 is one of the major regulators of myeloid and lymphoid development. Recent reports suggest that PU.1 mediates its functions via gradual expression level changes rather than binary on/off states. So far, this has not been considered in any study of HSCs and thus, PU.1s role in HSC function has remained largely unclear. Here we demonstrate using hypomorphic mice with an engineered disruption of an autoregulatory feedback loop that decreased PU.1 levels resulted in loss of key HSC functions, all of which could be fully rescued by restoration of proper PU.1 levels via a human PU.1 transgene. Mechanistically, we found excessive HSC cell divisions and altered expression of cell cycle regulators whose promoter regions were bound by PU.1 in normal HSCs. Adequate PU.1 levels were maintained by a mechanism of direct autoregulation restricted to HSCs through a physical interaction of a -14kb enhancer with the proximal promoter. Our findings identify PU.1 as novel regulator controling the switch between cell division and quiescence in order to prevent exhaustion of HSCs. Given that even moderate level changes greatly impact stem cell function, our data suggest important therapeutic implications for leukemic patients with reduced PU.1 levels. Moreover, we provide first proof, that autoregulation of a transcription factor, PU.1, has a crucial function in vivo. We anticipate that our concept of how autoregulation forms an active chromosomal conformation will impact future research on transcription factor networks regulating stem cell fate.

Description
To comprehensively reflect the impact of RPL11 deficiency on the transcriptome of zebrafish embryos, we collected 40–50 RPL11-deficient and MO control zebrafish embryos at 48 hpf from separate experiments and constructed two mRNA-seq sequencing libraries in parallel. High-throughput sequencing was performed on the Hi-Seq2000 sequencing platform in parallel. The number of sequenced gene transcript reads was 35–40 million. We found that hemoglobin biosynthetic and hematological defects in RPL11-deficient zebrafish were related to dysregulation of iron metabolism-related genes, including tfa, tfr1b, alas2 and slc25a37, which are involved in heme and hemoglobin biosynthesis. In addition, we found reduced expression of the hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) marker c-myb and HSC transcription factor tal1 and hoxb4a in RPL11-deficient zebrafish embryos, indicating that the hematopoietic defects may be related to impaired HSC differentiation and proliferation. However, RPL11 deficiency did not affect the development of other blood cell lineages such as granulocytes and myelocytes.

Description
In the early zebrafish embryo, the developing genome profile can be interfered with by exposure to pentachlorophenol, and some specific sets of genes are up-regulated or down-regulated. We used microarrays to detail the global program of gene expression underlying cellularisation and identified distinct classes of up-regulated genes during this process.

Description
Alternative splicing (AS) and alternative promoter (AP) usage expand the repertories of mammalian transcriptome profiles and thus diversify gene functions. However, our knowledge about the extent and functions of AS and AP usage in mouse early embryogenesis remains elusive. Here, by performing whole-transcriptome splicing profiling with high-throughput next generation sequencing, we report that AS extensively occurs in embryonic day (E) 7.5 mouse primary germ layers, and may be involved in multiple developmental processes. In addition, numerous RNA splicing factors are differentially expressed and alternatively spliced across the three germ layers, implying the potential importance of AS machinery in shaping early embryogenesis. Notably, AP usage is remarkably frequent at this stage, accounting for more than one quarter (430/1648) of the total significantly different AS events. Genes generating the 430 AP events participate in numerous biological processes, and include important regulators essential for mouse early embryogenesis, suggesting that AP usage is widely used and might be relevant to mouse germ layer specification. Our data underline the potential significance of AP usage in mouse gastrulation, providing a rich data source and opening another dimension for understanding the regulatory mechanisms of mammalian early development.

Polycomb group (PcG) proteins are epigenetic silencers whose dysregulation is frequently linked to cancer via mechanisms that remain unclear. Using conditional knock-out mice in a colitis-associated colorectal cancer (CAC) model, we found that Bmi1 and Mel18 are important initiation and maintenance factors during CAC tumorigenesis. Epithelial depletion of both Bmi1 and Mel18, but not either gene alone, significantly reduces tumor growth and multiplicity.
