We performed RNA-Seq analysis of wildtype and three EPAS1-/- 786-O single cell clones generated by CRISPR/Cas9 to identify the HIF-2a-responsive genes in this cell line. Samples from wildtype 786-O cells treated with DMSO or HIF-2a antagonist compound C2 were also included in this analysis. Overall design: In this experiment, we analyzed the transcriptomic profiles of 2 replicates of wildtype (WT) EPAS1+/+ 786-O cells, 1 replicate for each of the three independent EPAS1-/- 786-O single cell clones, 1 replicate of WT-786-O cells treated with DMSO and 1 replicate of WT-786-O cells treated with 10uM HIF-2a antagonist C2.

View SamplesCarbonic anhydrase 1 (Car1), an early specific marker of the erythroid differentiation, has been used to distinguish fetal and adult erythroid cells since its production closely follows the - to -globin transition, but the molecular mechanism underlying transcriptional regulation of Car1 is unclear. Here, we show that Car1 mRNA decreases significantly when erythroid differentiation is induced in MEL cells. The Ldb1 protein complex including GATA1/SCL/LMO2 binds to the Car1 promoter in uninduced cells and reduced enrichment of the complex during differentiation correlates with loss of Car1 expression. Knockdown of Ldb1 results in a reduction of Ser2 phosphorylated RNA Pol II and Cdk9 at the Car1 promoter region, suggesting that Ldb1 is required for recruitment of Pol II as well as the transcription regulator P-TEFb to enhance elongation of Car1 transcripts. Taken together, these data show that Ldb1 forms a regulatory complex to maintain Car1 expression in erythroid cells.

View SamplesThe organs of multicellular species are comprised of cell types that must function together to perform specific tasks. One critical organ function is responding to internal or external change but little is known about how responses are tailored to specific cell types or coordinated among them on a global level. Here we use cellular profiling of five Arabidopsis root cell types in response to a limiting resource, nitrogen, to uncover a vast and predominantly cell-specific response that was largely undetectable using traditional methods. These methods reveal a new class of cell-specific nitrogen responses. As a proof-of-principle, we dissected one cell-specific response circuit that mediates nitrogen-induced changes in root branching from pericycle cells. Thus, cellular response profiling links gene modules to discrete functions in specific cell types.
Cell-specific nitrogen responses mediate developmental plasticity.

View SamplesThe aim of this study was to investigate correlations between early subclinical findings (10 and 90 day histology and gene expression data) and late outcomes (transplant glomerulopathy and graft loss) in positive crossmatch kidney transplants (+XMKTx).

View SamplesWe studied intragraft gene expression profiles of positive crossmatch (+XM) kidney transplant recipients who develop transplant glomerulopathy (TG) and those who do not. Whole genome microarray analysis and quantitative rt-PCR for 30 transcripts were performed on RNA from protocol renal allograft biopsies in 3 groups: 1) +XM/TG+ biopsies before and after TG; 2) +XM/NoTG; and 3) negative crossmatch kidney transplants (control). Microarray comparisons showed few differentially expressed genes between paired biopsies from +XM/TG+ recipients before and after the diagnosis of TG. Comparing +XM/TG+ and control groups, significantly altered expression was seen for 2,447 genes (18%) and 3,200 genes (24%) at early and late time points, respectively. Canonical pathway analyses of differentially expressed genes showed inflammatory genes associated with innate and adaptive immune responses. Comparing +XM/TG+ and +XM/NoTG groups, 3,718 probe sets were differentially expressed but these were over-represented in only 4 pathways. A classic accommodation phenotype was not identified. Using rt-PCR, the expression of inflammatory genes was significantly increased in +XM/TG+ recipients compared to control biopsies and to +XM/NoTG biopsies. In conclusion, pre-transplant DSA results in a gene expression profile characterized by inflammation and cellular infiltration and the majority of XM+ grafts are exposed to chronic injury.

View SamplesThe process of liver regeneration can be divided into a series of stages that include initial inductive or priming events through cellular mitosis. Following two-thirds liver resection, the liver undergoes the priming phase, in which cytokines TNF-a and IL-6 activate their respective receptors in hepatocytes. This leads to the activation of several key transcription factors: NF-kB, AP-1, Stat 3, Stat 1, and C/EBP-b and -d . These transcription factors induce the expression of immediate early genes. HGF is also expressed at this time and involved in the transition of quiescent hepatocytes into the G1 phase of the cell cycle. During the G1 phase, delayed early genes are expressed followed by induction of cell cyclerelated genes, both of which require new protein synthesis for their production. Increased expression of FoxM1B and TGF-a occurs at the G1/S transition and is correlated with increased expression of cyclinD1 and decreased expression of cdk inhibitors. During the G2/M phase of the cell cycle, FoxM1B directly elevates cyclinB1, cyclinB2, and cdc25B expression. Additionally, FoxM1B is associated with increased cyclinF and p55cdc, which are involved in completion of the cell cycle following partial hepatectomy. In mice, two-thirds partial hepatectomy promotes proliferation of liver cells and rapid growth of the remaining liver tissue, resulting in complete restoration of organ mass in approximately 7 days (Mackey S. et al. Hepatology 2003 Dec;38(6):1349-52).

View SamplesThe fallopian tube epithelium is one of the potential sources of high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSC). The use of estrogen only hormone replacement therapy increases ovarian cancer risk. Despite estrogen’s influence in OVCA, selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs) typically demonstrate only a 20% response rate. This low response could be due to a variety of factors including the loss of estrogen receptor signaling or the role of estrogen receptor signaling in different potential cell types of origin. The response of fallopian tube epithelium to SERMs is not known, and would be useful when determining therapeutic options for tumors that arise from this cell type, such as high-grade serous cancer. Using normal murine derived oviductal epithelial cells (mouse equivalent to the fallopian tube) estrogen receptor expression was confirmed and interaction with its ligand, estradiol, triggered mRNA and protein induction of progesterone receptor (PR). The SERMs 4-hydroxytamoxifen, raloxifene and desmethylarzoxifene, functioned as estrogen receptor antagonists in the oviductal cells. Cellular proliferation and migration assays suggested that estradiol does not significantly impact cellular migration and increased proliferation in CD1, but not in FVB derived cell lines. Further, using RNAseq, the oviduct specific transcriptional genes targets of estrogen and 4-hydroxytamoxifen signaling were determined and validated. The RNA-seq revealed enrichment in proliferation, anti-apoptosis, calcium signaling and steroid signaling processes. Finally, the ER and PR receptor status of a panel of HGSC cell lines was investigated highlighting the need for better models of estrogen responsive HGSC cell lines. Overall design: Murine oviductal epithelial cells from the FVB background were hormone starved for 48 hours (with a media change after 24 hours), then treated in triplicate with solvent control (DMSO) (0.1%), 1 nM 17-betaestradiol or 100 nM 4-hydroxytamoxifen for 24 hours. Following treatment, RNA was was isolated, libraries were prepped and sequenced using the Illumina HiSeq 2500 platform.
