View SamplesTo address the functional role of KDM6A in the regulation of Rhox genes, male and female mouse ES cells were transfected with a mixture of three small interfering RNA duplexes, each of which targets a different region of Kdm6a mRNA. We found that Kdm6a knockdown in mouse ES cells caused a decrease in expression of a subset of Rhox genes, Rhox6 and 9. Furthermore, Rhox6 and 9 expression was decreased in female ES cells but not male ES cells indicating that KDM6A regulates Rhox gene expression in a sexually dimorphic manner.
Female bias in Rhox6 and 9 regulation by the histone demethylase KDM6A.

View SamplesPurpose: using RNA-seq as a screening tool to determine candidate genes of interest within a genetically defined neural subpopulation in the zebrafish embryonic spinal cord. Results: The early embryonic spinal cord displays patterns of spontaneous activity that generate the earliest motor behavior in the zebrafish. We show the behavior and the neural activity to be inhibited by environmental levels of light. Since at these young ages the fish is blind, and since restricted illumination patterns on the trunk of the fish can elicit a photo-response, we hypothesized that the photo-inhibition is an intrinsic property of the active central pattern generator network within the spinal cord. We FACS-isolated cells from this network as well as those from a panneuronal population and sequenced mRNAs. Through differential expression analysis we identified vertebrate ancient long opsin a as a candidate and then further validated its function in the circuit through knockdown and rescue experiments. Overall design: RNA sequencing of 2 FACS purified neural populations from zebrafish spinal cord.
A spinal opsin controls early neural activity and drives a behavioral light response.

View SamplesTo address the functional role of MOF in mammalian X upregulation, male and female mouse ES cells were transfected with a mixture of three small interfering RNA duplexes, each of which targets a different region of Mof mRNA. We found that MOF knockdown in mouse ES cells caused a greater drop in expression of X-linked genes compared to autosomal genes, as measured by expression array analyses. The strongest effect was observed on medium-expressed X-linked genes.
Mammalian X upregulation is associated with enhanced transcription initiation, RNA half-life, and MOF-mediated H4K16 acetylation.

View SamplesOverexpression of the AP-2 transcription factor in breast tumours has been identified as an independent predictor of poor outcome and failure of hormone therapy, even in ER positive, ErbB2 negative tumours; markers of a more favourable prognosis. To understand further the role of AP-2 in breast carcinoma, we have used an RNA interference and gene expression profiling strategy using the MCF-7 cell line as a model for ER positive, ErbB2 negative tumours with AP-2 overexpression.
AP-2gamma promotes proliferation in breast tumour cells by direct repression of the CDKN1A gene.

View SamplesAffymetrix 430 2.0 mouse arrays were used for expression analyses in undifferentiated and differentiated PGK12.1 ES cells. We found that the X:autosome expression ratios calculated from the mean expression values of X-linked and autosomal genes from microarrays was ~1.4 in undifferentiated female ES cells and then decreased to 1.2 in PGK12.1 cells after 15-day embryoid body differentiation. Thus, a substantial level of X upregulation is already evident in these ES cells prior to differentiation.
Mammalian X upregulation is associated with enhanced transcription initiation, RNA half-life, and MOF-mediated H4K16 acetylation.

View SamplesMany animal species employ a chromosome-based mechanism of sex determination, which has led to coordinate evolution of dosage compensation systems. Dosage compensation not only corrects the imbalance in the number of X-chromosomes between the sexes, but is also hypothesized to correct dosage imbalance within cells due to mono-allelic X expression and bi-allelic autosomal expression, by upregulating X-linked genes (termed â??Ohnoâ??s hypothesisâ??). Although this hypothesis is well supported by expression analyses of individual X-linked genes and by array-based transcriptome analyses, a recent study claimed that no such X upregulation exists in mammals and C. elegans based on RNA-sequencing and proteomics analyses. We provide RNA-seq RNA-seq analysis of mouse female PGK12.1 ES cells with two active X chromosomes and confirmed that the X chromosome is upregulated, consistent with the previous microarray study. Overall design: Examination of expression of X-linked and autosomal genes in mouse female ES cells with two active X chromosomes.
