Osteosarcoma (OS) is one of the most aggressive bone malignancy. Sub-optimal therapy has irretrievably compromised chances of survival of OS patients for years. Also lack of extensive research on this rare disease has hindered its therapeutic development. Cisplatin (CDDP) is an integral part of current treatment regime for OS. However, despite the proven benefits of CDDP, acquisition of resistance impedes therapy. Also, the molecular effects post CDDP insult in OS cells is poorly understood. Hence, we characterized molecular alterations associated with CDDP-exposure and resistance in OS cells. Resistance to CDDP in OS cells was developed and deep sequencing of mRNA was performed. It depicted an altered transcriptomic signature of resistant cells with enrichment of pathways regulating proliferation. Overall, a significant up-regulation of coding-RNAs and down-regulation of non-coding-RNAs were obtained. Further, analysis of immediate effect of CDDP-shock showed an increase in autophagy and JNK signaling, acting as a pro-survival strategy. Regulatory connections between MAPK signaling and autophagy favoring survival under CDDP-shock was elucidated. Taken together, this is the first study portraying not only global transcriptomic alterations in resistant OS cells but also showing key molecular changes associated with CDDP-insult in OS cells. Our results can be better utilized for future therapeutic benefit. Overall design: We analyzed 5 samples, each being the representative of stages in the acquisition of chemoresistance. Control was the parental HOS cell line with which other comparisons are/will be made in future.

View SamplesGoal: Identify genes that are differentially expressed in hyper-aggressive Bully line. We used wildtype Canton-S flies as control. We also explored the effect of developmental temperature on gene expression. Overall design: Total RNA were extracted from 6-day-old adult heads from Canton-S or Bully lines that were raised at 19C or 25C. A total of 4 samples were obtained. For each sample, 2 independent biological replicates were included.

View SamplesPBRM1 is a component of the PBAF chromatin remodelling complex and has been observed to be deregulated in a significant proportion of patients with clear-cell Renal Cell Carcinoma (ccRCC). This study employs RNA-Seq to identify differentially expressed genes in cellular models of ccRCC by expressing PBRM1 in PBRM1-deficient Caki2 cells. Overall design: Using lentiviral mediated mechanism, stable Caki-2 cell line expressing PBRM1 was developed (Caki2-PBRM1). Empty vector inserted in Caki2 cells served as control (Caki2-Ø)

View SamplesHere, in this study we systematically examined the patterns of DNA methylation and hydroxy-methylation with its functional implications in gene regulation for the cultured TK6 lymphoblastoid cells upon exposure to micro-gravity conditions. The results reported here indicate that simulated microgravity alters methylation patterns in a limited way and subsequently the expression of genes involved in stress response like ATF3, FBXO17, MAP3K13 and VCL in TK6 cells. Overall design: Examination of RNA-seq with 2 replicates each for 1 cell type
