Affymetrix Mouse Genome 430 2.0 Array (mouse4302)
Description
Mrhl is a non coding RNA identified from mouse chromosome 8. It is a 2.4kb poly adenylated, nuclear restricted RNA expressed in multiple tissues. The 2.4 kb RNA also undergoes a nuclear processing event mediated through Drosha that generates an 80nt intermediate RNA. This study was aimed at understanding the functiion of mrhl by silencing the mrhl RNA in the mouse spermatogonial cells using a pool of siRNAs targeted against the mrhl and analyse the global gene expression change using Affymetrix mouse expression array. The mRNAs that showed significant change in expression in mrhl siRNA treated cells against control were studied further for their biological significance with respect to mrhl silencing.

Description
A time course of infection of the alphavirus Sindbis virus (SINV) was used to investigate the presence of viral specific vsRNA and the changes in miRNAs profiles in human embryonic kidney 293 cells (HEK293) by high throughput DNA sequencing. Deep sequencing of small RNAs early in SINV infection (4 and 6 hpi) showed low abundance (0.8%) of viral specific RNAs (vsRNAs) , with a random uniform distribution not typical of Dicer products, suggesting they arise from non-specific degradation. Sequencing showed little variation of cellular microRNAs (miRNAs) at 4 and 6 hpi compared to uninfected cells. Twelve miRNAs exhibiting some minor differential expression by sequencing, showed insignificant modulation by Northern blot analysis. Overall design: RNA was isolated from mock infected and SINV inoculated HEK 293 cells at 4hpi and 6hpi cDNA libraries were generated for the small RNA (sRNA) content of the cells and sequenced using Illumina GA II, which yielded between 29.1M and 30.5M reads per sample

Description
We performed single-cell mRNA-Seq on wild-type mouse keratinocytes co-cultured with keratinocytes in which beta-catenin was activated. We identified seven distinct cell states in cultures that had not been exposed to the beta-catenin stimulus. Using temporal single-cell analysis we reconstruct the cell fate changes induced by neighbor Wnt activation. Gene expression heterogeneity was reduced in neighboring cells and this effect was most dramatic for protein synthesis associated genes. The changes in gene expression were accompanied by a shift from a quiescent to a more proliferative stem cell state. By integrating imaging and reconstructed sequential gene expression changes during the state transition we identified transcription factors, including Smad4 and Bcl3, that were responsible for effecting the transition in a contact-dependent manner. Our data indicate that non cell autonomous Wnt/beta-catenin signaling decreases transcriptional heterogeneity and further our understanding of how epidermal Wnt signaling orchestrates regeneration and self-renewal. Overall design: Comparison of cells exposed to Wnt activated neighbors versus unactivated.

Description
Bone adaptation to mechanical loading is regulated via signal transduction by mechano-sensing osteocytes. Mineral-embedded osteocytes experience strain-induced interstitial fluid flow and fluid shear stress, and broad shifts in gene expression are key components in the signaling pathways that regulate bone turnover. RNA sequencing analysis, or RNA-Seq, enables more complete characterization of mechano-sensitive transcriptome regulation than previously possible. We hypothesized that RNA-Seq of osteocytic MLO-Y4 cells reveals both expected and novel gene transcript regulation in cells previously fluid flowed and analyzed using gene microarrays (Govey et al., J Biomech, 2014). MLO-Y4 cells were flowed for 2 h with 1 Pa oscillating fluid shear stress and post-incubated 2 h. RNA-Seq of original samples detected 58 fluid flow-regulated gene transcripts (p-corrected<0.05) versus 65 transcripts detected by microarray. However, RNA-Seq demonstrated greater dynamic range, with all 58 transcripts >1.5 fold-change whereas 10 of 65 met this cut-off by microarray. Analyses were complimentary in patterns of regulation, though only 6 transcripts were significant in both analyses: Cxcl5, Cxcl1, Zc3h12a, Ereg, Slc2a1, and Egln1. As part of a broad inflammatory response inferred by gene ontology analyses, we again observed greatest up-regulation of inflammatory C-X-C motif chemokines, and newly implicated HIF-1? and AMPK signaling pathways. Importantly, we detected both expected mechano-sensitive transcripts (e.g. Nos2, Ptgs2, Ccl7) and transcripts not previously identified as mechano-sensitive, e.g. Ccl2. We found RNA-Seq advantageous over microarrays because of its ability to analyze unbiased estimation of gene expression, informing our understanding of osteocyte signaling. Overall design: Osteocyte-like MLO-Y4 cells were subjected to 2 hours of 10 dyn/cm^2 oscillating fluid flow in parallel-plate fluid flow chambers and harvested for analysis after an additional 2 hours post-flow incubation in fresh medium. Parallel control samples from sham treated cells were also collected. Triplicate samples of both flow and non-flow control conditions were collected to analyze flow vs. non-flow gene transcript regulation.

Description
Here we explored how the human macrophage response to tumor necrosis factor (TNF) is regulated by human synovial fibroblasts, the representative stromal cell type in the synovial lining of joints that become activated during inflammatory arthritis. Genome-wide transcriptome analysis (RNAseq) showed that co-cultured synovial fibroblasts modulate the expression of approximately one third of TNF-inducible genes in macrophages, including expression of target genes in pathways important for macrophage survival and polarization towards an alternatively activated phenotype. This work furthers our understanding of the interplay between innate immune and stromal cells during an inflammatory response, one that is particularly relevant to inflammatory arthritis. Our findings also identify modulation of macrophage phenotype as a new function for synovial fibroblasts that may prove to be a contributing factor in arthritis pathogenesis. Overall design: Human CD14+ MCSF-differentiated macrophages were cultured with or without synovial fibroblasts in transwell chambers. TNF was added at Day 0, macrophages were harvested at Day 2. Total of 4 samples: (1) macrophages alone (2) macrophages with fibroblasts (3) macrophages with TNF (4) macrophages with fibroblasts and TNF. Macrophage RNA was purified using RNeasy mini kit (Qiagen). Tru-seq sample preparation kits (Illumina) were used to purify poly-A transcripts and generate libraries with multiplexed barcode adaptors. All samples passed quality control on a Bioanalyzer 2100 (Agilent). Paired-end reads (50 x 2 cycles, ~75x106 reads per sample) were obtained on an Illumina HiSeq 2500. The TopHat program was used to align the reads to the UCSC Hg19 human reference genome, while the Cufflinks program allowed for measurements of transcript abundance (represented by Fragments Per Kilobase of exon model per Million mapped reads (FPKM)).

Description
Metabolic production of acetyl-CoA has been linked to histone acetylation and gene regulation, however the mechanisms are largely unknown. We show that the metabolic enzyme acetyl-CoA synthetase 2 (ACSS2) is a critical and direct regulator of histone acetylation in neurons and of long-term mammalian memory. We observe increased nuclear ACSS2 in differentiating neurons in vitro. Genome-wide, ACSS2 binding corresponds with increased histone acetylation and gene expression of key neuronal genes. These data indicate that ACSS2 functions as a chromatin-bound co-activator to increase local concentrations of acetyl-CoA and to locally promote histone acetylation for transcription of neuron-specific genes. Remarkably, in vivo attenuation of hippocampal ACSS2 expression in adult mice impairs long-term spatial memory, a cognitive process reliant on histone acetylation. ACSS2 reduction in hippocampus also leads to a defect in upregulation of key neuronal genes involved in memory. These results reveal a unique connection between cellular metabolism and neural plasticity, and establish a link between generation of acetyl-CoA and neuronal chromatin regulation. Overall design: Global survey of gene expression in CAD cells and differentiated CAD neurons following lentiviral knockdown of ACSS2 or ATP citrate lyase (ACL) (and control = scramble hairpin); survey of hippocampal gene expression changes associated with retrieval of fear memory, after ACSS2-AAV knockdown or in EGFP-AAV control (comparison of 0h vs. 1h post-memory retrieval).
