In this study we plan to compare the profiles of control sample (C) with the disease (FSGS) samples to identify differentially expressed genes. We hope to identify genes that are specifically activated in response to treatment with FSGS plasma. Overall design: Upregulated genes on incubating with plasma from recurrent FSGS plamsa sample in cultured human podocytes cells were probed

View SamplesBromodomain-containing protein 4 (BRD4) is an important epigenetic reader which promotes gene transcription to modulate cell-specific functions and is under intensive investigation for its potential as an anti-tumor therapeutic target. However, the role of BRD4 in non-transformed cells remains unclear. Here we demonstrate that BRD4 is required for the expression of epithelial-specific genes and suppression of stem cell-like properties by binding to the distal regions of epithelial-related genes. Moreover, BRD4 occupancy correlates with enhancer activity and enhancer RNA (eRNA) transcription of epithelial differentiation-specific genes. Interestingly, we show that BRD4 perturbation regulates the expression of Grainy Head-like transcription factor, GRHL3, whose depletion partially mimics BRD4 inhibition and blocks differentiated phenotype. By binding to the distal regions of GRHL3, BRD4 promotes RNA polymerase-II occupancy and thus affects eRNA transcription. Altogether, these findings provide evidence that BRD4 promotes a differentiated epithelial phenotype in non-transformed mammary cells at least in part through the activation of GRHL3 expression. Overall design: mRNA expression profiles of MCF10A cells under negative control siRNA, BRD4 siRNA or JQ1 treatment, in duplicates.
BRD4 promotes p63 and GRHL3 expression downstream of FOXO in mammary epithelial cells.

View SamplesWe report RNA-sequencing data from zebrafish embryos lacking both maternal and zygotic expression of udu (which encodes Gon4l) (MZudu) at tailbud (TB) stage. Transcripts were compared to stage-matched wild-type (WT) embryos to identify differentially expressed genes. Overall design: Sequencing of polyadenylated mRNAs from MZudu mutant and control WT embryos with 2 biological and 2 technical replicates per genotype - each with 3 lanes per sample.
Gon4l regulates notochord boundary formation and cell polarity underlying axis extension by repressing adhesion genes.

View SamplesWe report mapping of the PAX8 cistrome in three high grade serous ovarian cancer cell lines (KURAMOCHI, OVSAHO, and JHOS4) compared to three benign immortalized fallopian tube cell lines (FT33, FT194, and FT246). We identified a highly conserved PAX8 binding pattern common across benign fallopian tube cell lines that was distinct from the unique PAX8 binding patterns seen in each cancer cell line. Overall design: Comparison of benign and malignant Mullerian cell lines with and without PAX8 knockdown. For each cell line, three distinct siRNAs targeting PAX8 plus a pool of all three siRNAs were examined and compared to both a non-transfected control as well as a control transfected with a non-targeting siRNA.

View SamplesExtraocular muscles (EOMs) are a highly specialized type of tissue with a wide range of unique properties, including characteristic innervation, development, and structural proteins. Even though EOMs are frequently and prominently involved in thyroid-associated diseases, little is known about the immediate effects of thyroid hormone on these muscles. In order to create a comprehensive profile of changes in gene expression levels in EOMs induced by thyroid hormone, hyperthyroid conditions were simulated by treating adult Sprague-Dawley rats with intraperitoneal injections of 25 g T3 per 100 g body weight over the course of six weeks; subsequently, microarray analysis was used to determine changes in mRNA levels in EOMs from T3-treated animals relative to untreated controls.
