Description
To elucidate the mechanisms by which the mir-200 and the miR-183~96~182 cluster could regulate EMT and thus cellular migration, invasion and metastasis in NSCLC, we searched for common predicted targets of these microRNA families that might have a potential role in these biological processes. First we performed a cross comparison of multiple gene expression datasets from our mouse models of metastasis. We overlapped 224 genes that were elevated greater than four-folds upon Zeb1 induction in 393P cells with 210 genes that showed greater than two-fold increase in expression in the metastatic 344SQ cells compared to the non-metastatic 393P cells and 143 genes that were repressed to less than 0.5-fold in cells with exogenous expression of miR-200. This resulted in an enriched list of 45 genes that are potential miR-200 targets having a role in the process of EMT and metastasis. Next we performed an overlap of genes that were predicted targets of the miR-200 family members and the miR-183~96~182 cluster using the microRNA prediction algorithms miRanda (www.microRNA.org) and identified a list of 17 highly conserved common targets with a mirSVR score less than -6.0. The only 2 genes common in both the overlapping subsets were Zeb1 and Foxf2.

Description
EphB receptors regulate the proliferation and positioning of intestinal stem and progenitor cells. In addition, they can act as tumor promoters for adenoma development, but suppress progression to invasive carcinoma. Here we used imatinib to abrogate Abl kinase activity in ApcMin/+ mice and in mice with LGR5+ stem cells genetically targeted for APC. This treatment inhibited the tumor-promoting effects of EphB signaling without attenuating EphB-mediated tumor suppression, demonstrating the role of EphB signaling in intestinal tumor initiation. The investigated treatment regimen extended the lifespan of ApcMin/+ mice, and reduced cell proliferation in cultured slices of adenomas from FAP patients. These findings connect the EphB signaling pathway to the regulation of intestinal adenoma initiation via Abl kinase. Our findings may have clinical implications for pharmacological therapy against adenoma formation and cancer progression in patients predisposed to develop colon cancer.

Description
Dominant RUNX1 inhibition has been proposed as a common pathway for CBF-leukemia. CBFb-SMMHC, a fusion protein in human acute myeloid leukemia (AML), dominantly inhibits RUNX1 largely through its RUNX1 high-affinity binding domain (HABD). We generated knock-in mice expressing CBFb-SMMHC with a HABD deletion, CBFb-SMMHCd179-221. These mice developed leukemia highly efficiently, even though hematopoietic defects associated with Runx1-inhibition were partially rescued.

Description
Methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) has been shown to target developing vasculature in piscine and mammalian model systems. In the zebrafish, MTBE induces vascular lesions throughout development. These lesions result from exposure to MTBE at an early stage in development (6-somites to Prim-5 stages). During this time period, transcript levels of vegfa, vegfc, and vegfr1 were significantly decreased in embryos exposed to 5 mM MTBE.

Description
The presence of unspliced transcripts in hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) and the proposed association of CREBBP with the constitutive production of unspliced RNA and with pre-mRNA processing prompted us to examine more closely an anomaly we had noted in microarray-based gene expression studies but had previously attributed to experimental noise. We noticed that more than half of the probe sets down-regulated in Crebbp+/- fetal liver HSCs (FLHSCs) relative to wild-type (WT) mapped entirely within introns, rather than detecting exonic or spliced sequences. We therefore set out to test whether this might be evidence that reduced CREBBP levels selectively alter the generation of full-length, unspliced pre-mRNA. We also asked whether this process might be associated with differentiation since self-renewal and lineage commitment are the both responses for which HSCs are primed.

Inactivation of a single copy of Crebbp selectively alters pre-mRNA processing in mouse hematopoietic stem cells.

Description
XEN cells are derived from the primitive endoderm of mouse blastocysts. In culture and in chimeras they exhibit properties of parietal endoderm. However, BMP signaling promotes XEN cells to form an epithelium and differentiate into visceral endoderm (VE). Of the several different subtypes of VE described, BMP induces a subtype that is most similar to the VE adjacent to the trophoblast-derived extraembryonic ectoderm.

BMP signaling induces visceral endoderm differentiation of XEN cells and parietal endoderm.

Cells located at the invasive front and in the tumor mass of mouse cervical squamous cell carcinomas were isolated by laser microdissection from hematoxylin-stained HPV/E2 sections. 7 months old HPV/E2 mice treated with oestrogen develop invasive cervical squamous cell carcinomas. This model recapitulates human invasive cervical neoplasias.

Osteosarcoma (OS) is the malignant bone tumor with a high tendency to metastasize to the lung, where the molecular mechanisms are unclear. The mouse OS cell line LM8 has been isolated originally from the Dunn OS cell line by in vivo selection as a subline with a high metastatic potential to the lung.
