To identify isoform differential expression underlying peripheral nerve regeneration we performed RNA-Sequencing on DRG neurons after axotomy. Overall design: RNA was sequenced from peripheral Dorsal Root Ganglia (DRG) neurons from adult male mice 7 days after a conditioning lesion at the level of the sciatic nerve (Crushed samples) or after a sham surgery (Controls surgery).

View SamplesWe investigated soybean seed development because (1) soybean seeds are a major source of food and fuel, (2) soybean seeds have been an excellent system for studying the basic processes controlling seed development for over three decades, and (3) new soybean genomic resources, including the sequence of the soybean genome and the gene expression profiles for all seed compartments, tissues, and cell types, can be used to gain new insights into the regulatory processes required for seed differentiation. We sequenced messenger RNA populations of specific soybean seed compartments, which will provide new insights into gene expression that are important for “making a soybean seed.” Overall design: Seventeen compartments of the Early Maturation stage of the soybean seeds were analyzed. Three to four biological replicates were collected for each compartment.

View SamplesUnderstanding the nature of the various glucose-derived signals for insulin secretion (both triggering and amplifying) is essential for gaining insight into the functional failure of the beta-cells in diabetes and the development of drugs for correcting this problem. The beta-cells uniquely couple changes in cellular metabolism to electrical activity and thus insulin release. In mice, beta-cell specific deletion of the von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) tumor suppressor protein leads to the activation of a HIF transcription program that includes genes involved in glycolysis, suppression of mitochondrial activity and lactate production. This reprogramming of cellular metabolism results in abnormal insulin secretion properties.
PVHL is a regulator of glucose metabolism and insulin secretion in pancreatic beta cells.

View SamplesPurpose: The goals of this study are to identify the transcriptional profile of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) with the capacity to regenerate an axon, and contrast this profile with the profile of RGCs that cannot regenerate an axon. Methods: See sample pages for protocols for tissue preparation, RNA extraction and purification, library construction and data processing. Results: RNA from the 12 samples was sequenced to an average depth of 42 million reads. Genes were considered expressed if a gene had an expression of 1 count per million in 3 of the 12 samples. There were 13,406 genes that met this criterion. Conclusions: Our study represents the first analysis by NGS of highly-purified RGCs in the context of axonal injury Overall design: RGC mRNA profiles of melanopsin RGCs and ON-OFF Direction Selective Ganglion Cells (ooDSGCs) were generated by deep sequencing in triplicate, using Illumina HiSeq 2500.

View SamplesIn previous studies, miR-1825 has been found to be downregulated in the serum of familial and sporadic patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). In this study, we aim to identify the target mRNAs of miR-1825 using a combination of proteomic and transcriptomic approaches.

View SamplesAmyotrophic later sclerosis is a motor neuron disease accompanied by metabolic changes. PGC (PPAR gamma coactivator)-1alpha is a master regulator of mitochondrial biogenesis and function and of critical importance for all metabolically active tissues. PGC-1alpha is a genetic modifier of ALS.
ALS-causing mutations differentially affect PGC-1α expression and function in the brain vs. peripheral tissues.

View SamplesClinical heterogeneity of esrtrogen receptor-negative, progesterone receptor-negative [ER(-)/PR(-)] breast cancer (BC) suggests biological heterogeneity. We performed gene expression analysis of primary BCs and BC cell lines to identify the underlying biology of ER(-)/PR(-) disease, define subsets, and identify potential therapeutic targets.

View SamplesThe mucosa that lines the respiratory and gastrointestinal (GI) tracts is an important portal of entry for pathogens and provides the frontline of immune defense against HIV infection. Using the simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) rhesus macaque model, we have performed a comparative analysis of host gene expression in the lung and GI mucosa in response to SIV infection and antiretroviral therapy.
Enhanced innate antiviral gene expression, IFN-α, and cytolytic responses are predictive of mucosal immune recovery during simian immunodeficiency virus infection.
