RNA-seq analysis of 16 B6J x B6NJ-F2 mice which are homozygous for either the wild-type B6J allele (binge-resistant; J/J) or mutant B6NJ allele (binge-prone; N/N), at rs240617401, a marker denoting a missense SNP in Cyfip2. Genotype identity is denoted as either J for binge-resistant; J/J, or N for binge-prone; N/N. Overall design: A sample size of N=8 per genotype was employed (4 females, 4 males; 69-100 days old at the time of sacrifice). Striatum punches were harvested on Day 24 immediately following the 5-min behavioral test on the EPM, stored in RNAlater for 48 h, blotted dry with a kimwipe, and transferred to -80ºC. Total RNA was isolated and shipped to the University of Chicago Genomics Core Facility for cDNA library preparation using the Illumina TruSeq Stranded mRNA LT Sample Prep Kit (50 bp single-end reads). Samples were sequenced using the Illumina HiSeq 4000 with 16 samples per lane over four lanes (technical quadruplicates). FASTQ files were quality checked via FASTQC and all samples exhibited Phred quality scores greater than 30 (i.e. less than 0.1% sequencing error). FASTQ files were used to align reads to the reference genome using TopHat (mm10; UCSC Genome Browser). Read counts per gene were quantified using the HTSeq Python package.

View SamplesRNA-seq analysis of 8 Cyfip2N/- and 8 Cyfip2N/N mice. Cyfip2N/- are mice contain one copy of the B6NJ missense mutation and one copy of the nonsense mutation (binge-resistant; N/-), whereas Cyfip2N/N are mice that have two mutated B6NJ allele (binge-prone; N/N), at rs240617401, a marker denoting a missense SNP in Cyfip2. Genotype identity is denoted as either J for binge-resistant; N/-, or N for binge-prone; N/N. Overall design: A sample size of N=8 per genotype was employed (4 females, 4 males; 82-84 days old at the time of sacrifice).

View SamplesThe development of breast cancer resistance to endocrine therapy results from an increase in cellular plasticity leading to the development of a steroid independent tumour. The p160 steroid coactivator protein SRC-1, through interactions with developmental proteins and other non-steroidal transcription factors drives this tumour adaptability. Here, using discovery studies we identify ADAM22, a non-protease member of the ADAMs family, as a direct target of SRC-1, independent of estrogen receptor(ER). Molecular, cellular, in vivo and clinical studies confirmed SRC-1 as a regulator of ADAM22 and established a role for ADAM22 in endocrine resistant tumour progression. ADAM22 has the potential to act as a therapeutic drug target and a companion predictive biomarker in the treatment of endocrine resistant breast cancer.
Global characterization of the SRC-1 transcriptome identifies ADAM22 as an ER-independent mediator of endocrine-resistant breast cancer.

View SamplesWe profiled primary breast cancer, nodal and liver metastatic tumours from three patients. At the time of initial diagnosis, all three patients presented with luminal breast cancer with adjacent nodal metastasis. They all received 5 years of enodrine therapy and all subsequently developed liver metastasis. Overall design: Examination of mRNA differences between primary, nodal and metastatic tumour samples.

View SamplesChronic loss of Lasp1 alters the expression of other genes associated with cell motility/attachment, and/or other cellular functions. Results provide new information showing that loss of Lasp1 leads to up- and down-regulation of genes involved in cell motility/attachment/growth.
Lasp1 gene disruption is linked to enhanced cell migration and tumor formation.

View SamplesNOD mice were injected once a week with LTBR-Ig to block the LTBR-pathway, or with control monoclonal antibody MOPC from age 8 to 16 weeks old. Extraorbital lacrimal glands or submaxillary glands were dissected and total mRNA prepared. Each sample was either the combined lacrimals (2) from each mouse or individual salivary glands. There were 4 mice in each treatment group. Total mRNA was isolated and the quality was assessed using the Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer (Agilent Technologies, Palo Alto, CA). Reverse transcription to prepare cDNA was performed using Invitrogen M-MLV system. The purpose was to determine changes in gene expression in glands due to blockade of the LTBR-pathway.
Lymphotoxin-beta receptor blockade reduces CXCL13 in lacrimal glands and improves corneal integrity in the NOD model of Sjögren's syndrome.

View SamplesPharmacological and gene ablation studies have demonstrated a crucial role of the cardiac natriuretic peptides (NP) hormones ANF and BNP in the maintenance of cardiovascular homeostasis. In addition, hypertension and chronic congestive heart failure are clinical entities that may be regarded as states of relative NP deficiency. Hence the study of the function of the endocrine heart is highly relevant.

View SamplesThe wheat gene Lr34 confers partial resistance to all races of Puccinia triticina, the causal agent of wheat leaf rust. However, the biological basis for the exceptional durability of Lr34 is unclear. The Affymetrix wheat genome array was used to identify wheat genes differentially expressed in a compatible interaction (Tc), an R-gene mediated incompatible interaction (Tc-Lr1), and a race non-specific resistance interaction (Tc-Lr34) in response to infection challenge by P. triticina race 1 at anthesis. Transcriptome interrogation was conducted by comparing mock- and P. triticina-inoculated leaves harvested at 3 and 7 days post inoculation (dpi).
