Histone hyperacetylation disrupts core gene regulatory architecture in rhabdomyosarcoma
Core regulatory transcription factors (CR TFs) orchestrate the placement of super-enhancers (SEs) to activate transcription of cell-identity specifying gene networks, and are critical in promoting cancer. Here, we define the core regulatory circuitry of rhabdomyosarcoma and identify critical CR TF dependencies. These CR TFs build SEs that have the highest levels of histone acetylation, yet paradoxically the same SEs also harbor the greatest amounts of histone deacetylases. We find that hyperacetylation selectively halts CR TF transcription. To investigate the architectural determinants of this phenotype, we used absolute quantification of architecture (AQuA) HiChIP, which revealed erosion of native SE contacts, and aberrant spreading of contacts that involved histone acetylation. Hyperacetylation removes RNA polymerase II (RNA Pol II) from core regulatory genetic elements, and eliminates RNA Pol II but not BRD4 phase condensates. This study identifies an SE-specific requirement for balancing histone modification states to maintain SE architecture and CR TF transcription
Context Analysis of User Decision based on social learning
We analyzed the context mechanism of usersâ?? decision behaviors in social tagging, and revealed the nature of social learning among users in social contexts. To improve the results of social tagging, we can select corresponding contexts according to usersâ?? given knowledge backgrounds and preferences. On the other hand, we can also recognize usersâ?? knowledge backgrounds and preferences according to their annotation results in relevant contexts
A novel approach to the growth analysis of hamster secondary palate by histone 3 m RNA in situ hybridiration
A study was undertaken to determine the cell
proliferation kinetics during the development of hamster
vertical palatal shelf ad initium. Harnster embryo heads,
obtained at different times between days 10 and 12 of
gestation (which is the period of vertical shelf
development) were processed and sectioned to localize
histone 3 mRNA, a cell cycle specific gene, by in situ
hybridization. Sense and antisense 35~-labelledh istone 3
riboprobes were used as hybridization probes. Percent
labelled cells were determined. The results showed that a
high rate of random proliferation of both epithelial and
mesenchymal cells was a major component of early
vertical palatal growth. Subsequently, during the latter
half of vertical shelf development, the proliferation rates
of the epithelial and mesenchymal cells were different in
a region specific manner. It was suggested that the
spatio-temporal changes in the distribution of cycling
mesenchymal and epithelial cells during vertical palate
development may indicate their heterogeneity for
subsequent segregation into appropnate phenotypes
