Patients with chronic illnesses such as Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) or Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) often have reduced quality of life. IBS is characterized by abdominal pain/discomfort associated with altered bowel function, such as diarrhea or constipation, without gross structural changes or inflammation [1]; IBD is characterized by gross inflammation in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract which can result in symptoms such as abdominal pain, cramping, diarrhea and bloody stools. IBS and IBD can profoundly affect quality of life and are influenced by stress and resiliency.The impact of mind-body interventions (MBIs) on IBS and IBD patients has not previously been examined. In this study IBS and IBD patients were enrolled in a 9-week relaxation response based mind-body group intervention (RR-MBI), focusing on elicitation of the RR and cognitive skill building. We performed Peripheral blood transcriptome analysis to identify genomic correlates of the RR-MBI.
Genomic and clinical effects associated with a relaxation response mind-body intervention in patients with irritable bowel syndrome and inflammatory bowel disease.

View SamplesUlcerative colitis (UC) and Crohns disease (CD) are inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) with variable, overlapping clinical features and complex pathophysiologies. To identify pathogenic processes underlying these disease subtypes, using single endoscopic pinch biopsies to estabolish 36 expression profiles, we elucidated gene expression patterns of active and inactive areas of UC and CD, and compared these to infectious colitis and healthy controls.

View SamplesPlant Homeo Domain (PHD) is a versatile chromatin reader/effector module which recognizes methylated, acetylated or unmodified histone substrates and regulates cellular gene expression programs. Although PHD domains shows selective epigenetic recognition of methylated, acetylated and unmodified histone substrates, there has been no previous report on its catalytic function regulating malignant transformation of cells. Here we report that PHD finger of UBR7 (Ubiquitin Protein Ligase E3 Component N-Recognin 7 (Putative)), in isolation or in context of full length protein, harbors E3 ubiquitin ligase activity towards monoubiquitination of histone H2B at lysine 120 . Knockdown of UBR7 in MCF10a and breast cancer cells decreased H2BK120ub both at the global levels and on specific genes. Conversely, overexpression of wild type, but not catalytic mutant, rescued H2BK120ub levels. Low UBR7 expression was associated with basal-like and triple negative breast cancers as well as showed poor expression in metastatic tumors. Consistently, UBR7 loss resulted in invasion properties, induced epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition and promoted metastasis. Conversely, ectopic expression of UBR7 reduced cell growth, invasion and tumor growth in mouse fat pad. Mechanistically, UBR7 reduced H2BK120ub gene body of cell-adhesion related genes as well as gene expression including on CDH4 gene. Importantly, rebuilding CDH4 levels rescued invasion phenotypes seen in UBR7-low cells. Collectively, our results establish that UBR7 PHD has novel H2B ubiquitin ligase activity and it suppresses tumor growth in basal-like breast cancers.

View SamplesPurpose: Next-generation sequencing (NGS) has revolutionized systems-based analysis of cellular pathways. The goals of this study are to compare GBM transcriptome profiling (RNA-seq) after shRNA based knockdown of PRKAB1 and to compare gene expression by optimal high-throughput data analysis Overall design: Methods: Total RNA profiles of two GBM cells (scramble and PRKAB1 sh RNA treated) were generated by deep sequencing, in triplicate, using Illumina Hiseq 2000. The sequence reads that passed quality filters were analyzed at the transcript isoform level with two methods: Burrows–Wheeler Aligner (BWA) followed by ANOVA (ANOVA) and TopHat followed by Cufflinks. qRT–PCR validation was performed using SYBR Green assays
