Affymetrix Rat Genome U34 Array (rgu34a)
Description
To determine whether immortalized cells derived from the rat SCN (SCN 2.2) retain intrinsic rhythm-generating properties characteristic of the SCN, oscillatory properties of the SCN2.2 transcriptome were analyzed and compared to those found in the rat SCN in vivo using rat U34A Affymetrix GeneChips. SCN2.2 cells were expanded in 6-well plates. At 6-hour interval across 2 circadian cycles, cells from single 6-well plates were harvested and pooled for total RNA extraction.

- Affymetrix Murine Genome U74A Version 2 Array (mgu74av2)
Description
To screen for specific circadian outputs that may distinguish the pacemaker in the mammalian suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) from peripheral-type oscillators in which the canonical clockworks are similarly regulated in a circadian manner, the rhythmic behavior of the transcriptome in forskolin-stimulated NIH/3T3 fibroblasts was analyzed and compared to that found in the rat SCN in vivo and SCN2.2 cells in vitro. Similar to the scope of circadian gene expression in SCN2.2 cells and the rat SCN, NIH/3T3 fibroblasts exhibited circadian fluctuations in the expression of the core clock genes, Per2, Bmal1 (Mop3), and Cry1 and 323 functionally diverse transcripts (2.6%), many of which were involved in cell communication. Overlap in rhythmically-expressed transcripts among NIH/3T3 fibroblasts, SCN2.2 cells and the rat SCN was limited to these clock genes and four other genes that mediate fatty acid and lipid metabolism or function as nuclear factors. Compared to NIH/3T3 cells, circadian gene expression in SCN oscillators was more prevalent among cellular pathways mediating glucose metabolism and neurotransmission. Coupled with evidence for the rhythmic regulation of the inducible isoform of nitric oxide synthase, the enzyme responsible for the production of nitric oxide, in SCN2.2 cells and the rat SCN but not in fibroblasts, studies examining the effects of a NOS inhibitor on metabolic rhythms in co-cultures containing SCN2.2 cells and untreated NIH/3T3 cells suggest that this gaseous neurotransmitter may play a key role in SCN pacemaker function. Thus, this comparative analysis of circadian gene expression in SCN and non-SCN cells may have important implications in the selective identification of circadian signals involved in the coupling of SCN oscillators and the regulation of rhythmicity in downstream cells or tissues.

- Affymetrix Plasmodium/Anopheles Genome Array (plasmodiumanopheles)
Description
We examined patterns of gene expression in two independent colonies of both M and S molecular forms of Anopheles gambiae at each of three developmental stages of interest: late larvae, sugar-fed virgin females, and gravid females. For each colony, replicates were derived from independent RNA samples extracted from different cohorts to ensure that trends were reproducible. In addition, each replicate was derived from larvae (adults) drawn from three pans (cages) to minimize the contribution of any individual pan to variation between samples. Data were obtained from a total of five biological replicates per mosquito colony.

Description
We have previously reported that elevated fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF-2) expression is associated with tumor recurrence and reduced survival after surgical resection of esophageal cancer, and that these risks are reduced in tumors co-expressing an endogenous antisense (FGF-AS) RNA. In the present study we examined the role of the endogenous FGF-AS transcript in the regulation of FGF-2 expression in the human lung adenocarcinoma cell line, Seg-1. FGF-2 and FGF-AS were temporally and spatially co-localized in the cytoplasm of individual cells, and knock-down of either FGF-2 or FGF-AS by target specific siRNAs resulted in dose-dependent up-regulation of the complementary transcript and its encoded protein product. Using a luciferase reporter system we show that these effects are mediated by interaction of the endogenous antisense RNA with the 3UTR of the FGF-2 mRNA. Deletion mapping identified a 392 nt sequence in the 5823 nucleotide FGF-2 untranslated tail which is targeted by FGF-AS. siRNA-mediated knockdown of either FGF-AS or FGF-2 significantly increased the stability of the complementary partner mRNA, demonstrating that these mRNAs are mutually regulatory. Knockdown of FGF-AS also resulted in reduced expression of argonaute-2 (AGO-2) and a number of other elements of the endogenous microRNA/RNAi pathways. Conversely, siRNA-mediated knockdown of AGO-2 significantly increased the stability of the FGF-2 mRNA transcript, and the steady-state levels of both FGF-2 mRNA and protein, suggesting a role for AGO-2 in the regulation of FGF-2 expression.

Description
M端ller cells (MCs) play a crucial role in the retina, and cultured MC lines are an important tool with which to study MC function. Transformed MC lines have been widely used; however, the transformation process can also lead to unwanted changes compared to the primary cells from which they were derived. A monoclonal spontaneously immortalized rat M端ller cell line, SIRMu-1, was derived from primary rat MCs and characterized by RNA-sequencing (in addition to immunofluorescence and western blotting) in comparison to primary MCs and the SV40-immortalized MC line, rMC-1. Overall design: RNA-seq was performed on enriched polyA RNA from primary M端ller cells (4 biological replicates of passage numbers 3-4), SIRMu-1 cells (5 biological replicates of passage numbers 6-20, two of which were cultured in the presence of the antibiotic gentamicin and the antifungal amphotericin B to match the culture conditions of the primary MCs), and rMC-1 cells (3 biological replicates of passage numbers 23-26).

Description
Graft versus host disease (GVHD) is the most common complication of hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HCT). However, our understanding of the molecular pathways that cause this disease remains incomplete, leading to inadequate treatment strategies. To address this, we measured the gene expression profile of non-human primate (NHP) T cells during acute GVHD. In this study we specifically interrogated the transcriptional signatures of animals treated with FR104 monotherapy and FR104/Sirolimus combination therapy

Description
Huntington neurodegenerative disease (HD) is associated with extensive down-regulation of neuronal genes. We show preferential down-regulation of super-enhancer-regulated neuronal function genes in the striatum of HD mice. Striatal super-enhancers display extensive H3K27 acetylation within gene bodies and drive transcription characterized by low levels of paused RNAPII. Down-regulation of gene expression is associated with diminished H3K27 acetylation and RNAPII recruitment. Striatal super-enhancers are enriched in binding motifs for Gata transcription factors, such as Gata2 regulating striatal identity genes. Thus, enhancer topography and transcription dynamics are major parameters determining the propensity of a gene to be deregulated in a neurodegenerative disease. Overall design: RNA profiles in Striatum of WT and R6/1 mice by deep sequencing using Illumina HiSeq 2000.
