TLDR
It is demonstrated in macrophages and B cells that collaborative interactions of the common factor PU.1 with small sets of macrophage- or B cell lineage-determining transcription factors establish cell-specific binding sites that are associated with the majority of promoter-distal H3K4me1-marked genomic regions.

The transcriptional landscape of mouse beta cells compared to human beta cells reveals notable species differences in long non-coding RNA and protein-coding gene expression.

TL;DR: The comprehensive mouse alpha and beta cell transcriptomes complemented by the comparison of the global (dis)similarities between mouse and human beta cells represent invaluable resources to boost the accuracy by which rodent models offer guidance in finding cures for human diabetes.
Journal ArticleDOI

An aberrant transcription factor network essential for Wnt signaling and stem cell maintenance in glioblastoma

TL;DR: A comparative analysis of chromatin state in GBM CSCs is presented that reveals widespread activation of genes normally held in check by Polycomb repressors, and demonstrates regulatory connections among ASCL1, Wnt signaling, and collaborating TFs that are essential for the maintenance and tumorigenicity of GBMCSCs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Establishment and Maintenance of the Macrophage Niche.

TL;DR: This work examines recent studies that uncovered mutually beneficial cell-cell circuits established between macrophages and their niche and proposes a modular view of tissues that integrates the resident macrophage as an essential component of each individual module.
Journal ArticleDOI

Histone deacetylase 3 is an epigenomic brake in macrophage alternative activation

TL;DR: It is reported that macrophages lacking histone deacetylase 3 (HDAC3) display a polarization phenotype similar to IL-4-induced alternative activation and, furthermore, are hyperresponsive to IL (IL-4) stimulation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nonclassical Patrolling Monocyte Function in the Vasculature

TL;DR: Patrolling monocytes function in several disease settings to remove damaged cells and debris from the vasculature and have been associated with wound healing and the resolution of inflammation in damaged tissues.

High-resolution profiling of histone methylations in the human genome.

TL;DR: High-resolution maps for the genome-wide distribution of 20 histone lysine and arginine methylations as well as histone variant H2A.Z, RNA polymerase II, and the insulator binding protein CTCF across the human genome using the Solexa 1G sequencing technology are generated.
Journal ArticleDOI

RAG-1-deficient mice have no mature B and T lymphocytes

TL;DR: The introduction of a mutation in RAG-1 into the germline of mice via gene targeting in embryonic stem cells is described and it is shown that this mutation either activates or catalyzes the V(D)J recombination reaction of immunoglobulin and T cell receptor genes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genome-scale DNA methylation maps of pluripotent and differentiated cells

TL;DR: Low-throughput reduced representation bisulphite sequencing is established as a powerful technology for epigenetic profiling of cell populations relevant to developmental biology, cancer and regenerative medicine.
