The EZH2 histone methyltransferase is highly expressed in germinal center (GC) B-cells and targeted by somatic mutations in B-cell lymphomas. Here we find that EZH2 deletion or pharmacologic inhibition suppresses GC formation and functions in mice. EZH2 represses proliferation checkpoint genes and h...

Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) inhabit distinct microenvironments within the adult bone marrow (BM) that govern the delicate balance between HSC quiescence, self-renewal, and differentiation. It has been suggested that quiescent HSCs localize adjacent to BM arteriole endothelial cells in a signific...

After co-evolving with humans, its only major host, Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) restrains immune responses well enough to escape eradication, yet elicits enough immunopathology to ensure its transmission. Here, we provide evidence that this balance is regulated in part by a previously uncharact...

Here we used Illumina NGS for high-throughput profiling of the DNA methylome in seven human benign prostate tissues, seven human primary prostate cancer and six human castration resistant prostate cancer patient samples. These data were used to profile the CpG cytosine methylation pattern at single ...

Generation of abundant engraftable hematopoietic cells from autologous tissues promises new therapies for hematologic diseases. Differentiation of pluripotent stem cells into hematopoietic cells results in emergence of cells that have poor engraftment potential. To circumvent this hurdle, we have d...

Changes in DNA methylation are required for the formation of germinal centers (GC), but the mechanisms of such changes are poorly understood. Activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID) has been recently implicated recently in DNA demethylation through its deaminase activity coupled with DNA repai...

BCL6 is crucial for B-cell activation and lymphomagenesis. We used integrative genomics to explore BCL6 mechanism in normal and malignant B-cells. Surprisingly, BCL6 assembled distinct complexes at enhancers vs. promoters. At enhancers BCL6 preferentially recruited SMRT, which mediated H3K27 deacety...

Mature oocyte cytoplasm can reprogram somatic cell nuclei to the pluripotent state through a series of sequential events including protein exchange between the donor nucleus and ooplasm, chromatin remodeling, and pluripotency gene reactivation. Maternal factors that are responsible for this reprogra...

Insulin action in adipocytes affects whole-body insulin sensitivity. Studies of adipose-specific Glut4 knockout mice have established that adipose Glut4 contributes to the control of systemic glucose homeostasis. Presumably, this reflects a role for Glut4-mediated glucose transport in the regulation...

Post-transcriptional gene regulation by miRNAs and RNA binding proteins (RBP) is important in development, physiology and disease. To examine the interplay between miRNAs and the RBP ELAVL1 (a.k.a. HuR), we mapped miRNA binding sites on a transcriptome-wide scale in WT and Elavl1 knockout murine bon...
