Upstream of N-ras (UNR) is a conserved RNA-binding protein that regulates mRNA translation and stability by binding to sites generally located in untranslated regions (UTRs). In Drosophila, sex-specific binding of UNR to msl2 mRNA and the non-coding RNA roX plays key roles in the control of X-chromosome dosage compensation in both sexes. In order to investigate broader sex-specific functions of UNR, we have identified its RNA targets in adult male and female flies by high-throughput RNA binding and transcriptome analysis. Here we show that UNR binds to a large set of protein-coding transcripts and to a smaller set of non-coding RNAs in a sex-specific fashion. Overall design: Two replicates of UNR IP were performed in D.melanogaster adult males and females, and enrichment in either sex was compared with IgG IP as control. To correlate sex-specific UNR binding with sex-specific transcription and splicing we performed RNA-Seq experiments in males and females.
Widespread generation of alternative UTRs contributes to sex-specific RNA binding by UNR.

View SamplesAnalysis of transcriptomic fidelity between primary and pdx tumor. The hypothesis tested in the present study was that pdx can serve as high fidelity models of human cancer and guide longitudinal care. Results provide important information on the response of preservation of gene expression changes between the primary tumor and the first generation pdx.

View SamplesWe sequenced mRNA from Left Ventricles of Streptozotocin induced Type I diabetic mouse hearts or mock treated controls at 4 weeks post-treatment in order to assess alternative splicing changes. Overall design: Heart mRNA profiles of Control and Diabetic (STZ:T1D) mice were generated by deep sequencing using Illumina HiSeq 1000.

View SamplesThe response of the nematode C. elegans to Y. pestis infection was evaluated by gene expression profiling. A synchronized population of nematodes were exposed to Y. pestis KIM5 for 24h. Transcript levels from Y. pestis-treated animals were compared with animals maintained on relatively nonpathogenic E. coli OP50 for 24h.

View SamplesTo investigate the role of NKX3.1 in prostate differentiation, we employed transcriptome analysis of mouse seminal vesicle (from 15-month-old Nkx3.1+/+ mice); mouse prostate (from 4-month-old Nkx3.1+/+ and Nkx3.1-/- mice); human prostate cells (RWPE1 cells engineered with empty vector (altered pTRIPZ), NKX3.1 wild type over-expression, and NKX3.1 (T164A) mutant over-expression); and tissue recombinants (generated from combining engineered mouse epithelial cells (seminal vesicle epithelial cells or prostate epithelial cells from 2-month-old mice) and rat UGS mesenchymal cells). Mouse tissue or human cells were snap frozen for subsequent molecular analysis.

View SamplesAnalysis of the transcriptome of mouse models of prostate cancer after treatment with rapamycin and PD0325901 combination therapy or standard of care docetaxel. The Nkx3.1CreERT2/+; Ptenflox/flox; KrasLSL-G12D/+ (NPK mice) was used in this study. Two months after tumor induction, mice were randomly assigned to vehicle (Veh) or treatments groups, such as rapamycin and PD0325901 (RAPPD) or docetaxel (Docetaxel). For the treatment groups mice were administered rapamycin (10 mg/kg) and PD0325901 (10 mg/kg) or docetaxel (10 mg/kg) for 5 days (SHORT) or for 1 month (LONG). At the end of the treatment, mice were euthanized, tumors harvested and snap frozen for subsequent molecular analysis.

Overall design: Total RNA obtained from tissue recombinants generated from combining engineered mouse epithelial cells (SVE or PE from 2-month-old C57Bl/6J mice) and rat UGS mesenchymal cells. Tissue recombinants were harvested and processed for RNA isolation and transcriptome analysis using the RNeasy kit (Qiagen).
