Comment on structural basis of DUX4/IGH-driven transactivation [PDF]
In a recent issue of Leukemia, Dong et al. reported the crystal structure of an isolated second homeodomain of human DUX4 (DUX4HD2) bound to a double-stranded DNA fragment (strand-1: 5’-TTCTAATCTAATCX-3’, X=A according to Materials and methods of the original paper[1], annealed with strand-2: 5’-AAGATTAGATTAGT-3’, whereas the sequence record of PDB ...

Structural basis of DUX4/IGH-driven transactivation [PDF]
Oncogenic fusions are major drivers in leukemogenesis and may serve as potent targets for treatment. DUX4/IGHs have been shown to trigger the abnormal expression of ERGalt through binding to DUX4-Responsive-Element (DRE), which leads to B-cell differentiation arrest and a full-fledged B-ALL. Here, we determined the crystal structures of Apo- and DNADRE-

DUX4 and DUX4 downstream target genes are expressed in fetal FSHD muscles [PDF]
Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) is one of the most prevalent adult muscular dystrophies. The common clinical signs usually appear during the second decade of life but when the first molecular dysregulations occur is still unknown. Our aim was to determine whether molecular dysregulations can be identified during FSHD fetal muscle ...

Abnormal expression in skeletal muscle of the double homeobox transcription factor DUX4 underlies pathogenesis in facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD). Though multiple changes are known to be initiated by aberrant DUX4 expression, the downstream

Telomere position effect regulates DUX4 in human facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy [PDF]
Telomeres may regulate human disease by at least two independent mechanisms. First, replicative senescence occurs once short telomeres generate DNA-damage signals that produce a barrier to tumor progression. Second, telomere position effects (TPE) could change gene expression at intermediate telomere lengths in cultured human cells. Here we report that

Genome wide analysis of gene expression changes in skin from patients with type 2 diabetes [PDF]
Non-healing chronic ulcers are a serious complication of diabetes and are a major healthcare problem. While a host of treatments have been explored to heal or prevent these ulcers from forming, these treatments have not been found to be consistently ...

High PDGFRA expression does not serve as an effective therapeutic target in ERG-deleted b-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia [PDF]
Background: Macrosatellite repeats (MSRs), usually spanning hundreds of kilobases of genomic DNA, comprise a significant proportion of the human genome.

CIC-DUX4 sarcoma is highly aggressive and rapidly develops lethal metastatic disease and chemoresistance. Its histology is similar to that of Ewing sarcoma and other small round cell sarcomas. Correlation with clinical data, radiological findings, pathological results (including immunohistochemistry and fluorescence in situ ...

Aberrant expression of the transcription factor DUX4 from D4Z4 macrosatellite repeats on chromosome 4q35, and its transcriptome, associate with pathogenesis in facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD).
