The cancer-risk associated rs6983267 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) and the accompanying long non-coding RNA CCAT2 in the highly amplified 8q24.21 region has been implicated in cancer predisposition, though causality has not been established. Here, using allele-specific CCAT2 transgenic mice, we demonstrate that CCAT2 overexpression leads to spontaneous myeloid malignancies. CCAT2 is overexpressed in bone marrow and peripheral blood of myelodysplastic/myeloproliferative neoplasms (MDS/MPN) patients. CCAT2 induces global deregulation of gene expression by downregulating EZH2 in vitro and in vivo in an allele-specific manner. We also identified a novel disease-specific RNA mutation (named DNA-to-RNA allelic imbalance, DRAI) at the SNP locus in MDS/MPN patients and CCAT2-transgenic mice. The RNA transcribed from the SNP locus in malignant hematopoietic cells have different allelic composition from the corresponding genomic DNA, a phenomenon rarely observed in normal cells. Our findings provide fundamental insights into the functional role of rs6983267 SNP and CCAT2 in myeloid malignancies.

View SamplesIngestion of collagen peptide elicits beneficial effects on the body. Improvement of blood lipid is one of the effects, but its mechanism remains unclear. Male BALB/cCrSlc mice were bred with the AIN-93M diet containing 14% casein or AIN-93M-based low-protein diet containing 10% casein or diet containing 6% casein+4% collagen peptide (n=12/group) for 10 weeksTotal, free, and esterified cholesterol levels in the blood decreased in the collagen peptide group. DNA microarray analysis of the liver revealed that expression of the genes related to lipid metabolic process, such as PPAR signaling pathway and fatty acid metabolism, increased in the collagen peptide group compared to the 10% casein group. In contrast, expression of the genes related to unfolded protein response (UPR) and protein level of phospho-IRE1 decreased. Our data suggest that lipid metabolism in the liver was altered by collagen ingestion, which probably results in the decreased levels of blood cholesterol.

Memory CD8 T cells generated in response to influenza or vaccinia infection (Flu-memory and VV-memory) were compared to inflammatory memory cells (TIM) that were generated by peptide in inflammatory context. Gene expression analysis was performed on quiescent and re-stimulated CD8 T cells.
