Purpose: Next-generation sequencing (NGS) has revolutionized systems-based analysis of cellular pathways. The goals of this study was to obtain the trasncriptome of DGCR8_KO mESCs to compare it with the transcriptome of WT mESCs (deposit separately). Overall design: mRNA profiles of DGCR8_KO mouse embryonic stem cells were generated by deep sequencing, in duplicate, using Illumina HiSeq2000.
Noncanonical function of DGCR8 controls mESC exit from pluripotency.

View SamplesTranscriptomic studies revealed that hundreds of mRNAs show differential expression in the brains of sleeping versus awake rats, mice, flies, and sparrows. Although these results have offered clues regarding the molecular consequences of sleep and sleep loss, their functional significance thus far has been limited. This is because the previous studies pooled transcripts from all brain cells, including neurons and glia.

View SamplesTo investigate the function of CITED1 in melanoma, its expression was transiently down regulated using CITED1-targeting siRNA. The HT144 melanoma cell line was chosen as it had a relatively high level of detectable CITED1 mRNA and protein expression.
Loss of CITED1, an MITF regulator, drives a phenotype switch in vitro and can predict clinical outcome in primary melanoma tumours.

View SamplesPurpose: Two secreted Toxoplasma proteins (GRA17 and GRA23) mediate the passage of small molecules between the host cytoplasm and the parasite-containing vacuole. This provides the first molecular explanation to how intracellular, vacuole-residing parasites in the phylum Apicomplexa, like Plasmodium, gain access to host nutrients. Methods: Mouse-derived Bone Marrow Macrophages were infected with Toxoplasma tachyzoites of either WT, dGRA17, dGRA23, or dGRA17rescue genetic background for 4 hours. Results: GRA23 gene expression levels are elevated in the dGRA17 strain but not vice versa. Conclusions: GRA17 and GRA23 are synergistically required for permeability of small molecules into the Toxoplasma parasitophorous vacuole. Overall design: Toxoplasma and Mouse gene expression profiles from BMDMs infected with either WT (control), dGRA17, gGRA23, or dGRA17rescue (control) tachyzoites were obtained by RNA-Seq on an Illumina HiSeq2000 instruments at 4 hours post-infection.

View SamplesEscherichia coli exhibits diauxic growth in sugar mixtures due to CRP-mediated catabolite repression and inducer exclusion related to phosphotransferase system enzyme activity. Replacement of the native crp gene with a catabolite repression mutant (referred to as crp*) alleviates diauxic effects in E. coli and enables co-utilization of glucose and other sugars. While previous studies have examined the effects of expressing CRP* mutants on the expression of specific catabolic genes, little is known about the global transcriptional effects of CRP* expression.

View SamplesHere we present a strategy to adapt hESCs to high-throughput screening (HTS) conditions, resulting in an assay suitable for the discovery of small molecules that drive hESC self-renewal or differentiation. Use of this new assay has led to the identification of several currently marketed drugs and natural compounds promoting short-term hESC maintenance and compounds directing early lineage choice. Global gene expression analysis upon drug treatment reveals overlapping and novel pathways correlated to hESC self-renewal and differentiation. Our results demonstrate feasibility of hESC-based HTS and enhance the available repertoire of chemical compounds for manipulating hESC fate.
