Description
Saccharomyces cerevisiae cannot metabolize cellobiose in nature. Here, S. cerevisiae was engineered to achieve cellobiose utilization by introducing both a cellodextrin transporter gene (cdt-1) and an intracellular ß-glucosidase gene (gh1-1) from Neurospora crassa. We sequenced mRNA from anaerobic exponential cultures of engineered S. cerevisiae grown on cellobiose or glucose as a single carbon source in biological triplicate. Differences in gene expression between cellobiose and glucose metabolism revealed by RNA deep sequencing indicated that cellobiose metabolism induced mitochondrial activation and reduced amino acid biosynthesis under fermentation conditions. Overall design: mRNA levels in cellobiose-grown and glucose-grown cells of engineered cellobiose-utilizing Saccharomyces cerevisiae were examined by deep sequencing, in triplicate, using Illumina Genome Analyzer-II. We sequenced 3 samples from cellobiose-grown cells and 3 samples from glucose-grown cells and identified differential expressions in the cellobiose versus glucose fermentations by using mRNA levels of glucose-grown cells as a reference.

Description
Allergic diseases correspond to a broad range of hypersensitivity reactions, often occurring as co-morbidities. Investigation of the molecular basis of allergy is a challenge because of its highly heterogeneous nature. We combined large-scale and high-throughput gene expression technology and systems biology approaches to retrieve relevant biomarkers and signalling pathways.

Description
Adipose tissue from 6 non-obese patients was collagenase treated and adipocytes separated from the stromal vascular fraction(SVF). SVF was then FACS sorted for the following fractions CD45-/CD34+/CD31+ (endothelial), CD45-/CD34+/CD31- (progenitor), CD45+/CD14+ (monocyte/macrophage), CD45+/CD14-(Leukocyte). RNA was isolated from adipocyte, SVF, progenitor, macrophage/monocyte and leukocyte fractions and analyzed on the Affymetrix Human Transcriptome 2.0 array. We also sorted SVF from an additional 13 (10 non-obese, 9 obese) patients and sent progenitor RNA for Affymetrix Human Transcriptome 2.0 array analysis.

Description
Cells adapt to environmental changes, including fluctuations in oxygen levels, through the induction of specific gene expression programs. To identify genes regulated by hypoxia at the transcriptional level, we pulse-labeled HUVEC cells with 4-thiouridine and sequenced nascent transcripts. Then, we searched genome-wide binding profiles from the ENCODE project for factors that correlated with changes in transcription and identified binding of several components of the Sin3A co-repressor complex, including SIN3A, SAP30 and HDAC1/2, proximal to genes repressed by hypoxia. SIN3A interference revealed that it participates in the downregulation of 75% of the hypoxia-repressed genes in endothelial cells. Unexpectedly, it also blunted the induction of 47% of the upregulated genes, suggesting a role for this corepressor in gene induction. In agreement, ChIP-seq experiments showed that SIN3A preferentially localizes to the promoter region of actively transcribed genes and that SIN3A signal was enriched in hypoxia-repressed genes, prior exposure to the stimulus. Importantly, SINA3 occupancy was not altered by hypoxia in spite of changes in H3K27ac signal. In summary, our results reveal a prominent role for SIN3A in the transcriptional response to hypoxia and suggest a model where modulation of the associated histone deacetylase activity, rather than its recruitment, determines the transcriptional output. Overall design: Exponentially growing non-synchronized HUVEC were exposed to normoxia or hypoxia (21% or 1% oxygen respectively) for 8 hours and pulse-labelled with 4-thiouridine during the last two hours of treatment. RNA was extracted from samples in each condition (total RNA) and an aliquot was subjected to affinity chromatography to purify the 4-thiouridine-labelled (newly transcribed RNA, Newly Tr) and non-labelled (Pre-existent) RNA fractions. All three RNA fractions (total, newly transcribed and pre-existent) from each sample were analyzed by high-throughput sequencing. Submission includes 12 samples corresponding to 3 independent biological replicates.

Overall design: Exponentially growing non-synchronized HUVEC were transduced with lentiviral particles encoding for shRNA targeting EPAS1 or control shRNA. 72h after infection, cells were exposed to normoxia or hypoxia (21% or 1% oxygen respectively) for 8 hours and pulse-labelled with 4-thiouridine during the last two hours of treatment. RNA was extracted from samples in each condition (total RNA) and an aliquot subjected to affinity chromatography to purify the 4-thiouridine-labelled RNA fraction (newly transcribed RNA, Newly Tr). Both RNA fractions from each condition were analyzed by high-throughput sequencing. Data includes 8 samples from a single biological replicate.

Description
Using stem cellbased therapies to treat retinal abnormalities is becoming a likely possibility; therefore, identifying the key factors and the relevant mechanisms controlling optic vesicle morphogenesis and neuroretina (NR) differentiation is important. Recent advances in self-organizing, 3-dimensional (3D) tissue cultures of embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) provided a valuable in vitro model for characterizing regulatory cascades and signaling pathways controlling mammalian retinal development. Using Rx-GFP expressing ESCs and Six3/ iPSCs we identified R-spondin 2 (Rspo2)-mediated repression of Wnt signaling as a novel required step during optic vesicle morphogenesis and NR differentiation. Furthermore, we also show that transient ectopic expression of Rspo2 in the anterior neural plate of transgenic mouse embryos was sufficient to arrest NR differentiation. ChIP assays identified Six3-responsive elements in the Rspo2-promoter region, indicating that Six3-mediated repression of Rspo2 is required to restrict Wnt signaling in the developing anterior neuroectoderm and allow eye development to proceed.
