View SamplesT84 cells were treated with DMSO, 30nM trametinib (MEKi), 1µM JQ1 (BRD4i) or the combination of trametinib and JQ1 (combo) for 24h. Overall design: 3 replicates per condition were analyzed by RNA-seq.

View SamplesHCT116 cells were treated with with increasing concentrations of trametinib over 2 months. Drug-resistant clones emerged and were cultured in the presence of 30 nmol/L trametinib. These cells exhibited a greater than 10-fold increase in the GI50 for trametinib compared to the parental cell line. RNA-seq of the resistant clone HCT116_R4 versus the parental cells identified differentially expressed genes potentially involved in resistance. Overall design: For the parental and resistant clone, 3 replicates each were analysed by RNA-seq.

View SamplesNeutrophil homeostasis is maintained, in part, by the regulated release of neutrophils from the bone marrow. Constitutive expression of the chemokine CXCL12 by bone marrow stromal cells provides a key retention signal for neutrophils in the bone marrow through activation of its receptor CXCR4. Herein, we show that the ELR chemokines CXCL1 and CXCL2 are constitutively expressed by bone marrow endothelial cells and osteoblasts, and CXCL2 expression is induced in endothelial cells during granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF)-induced neutrophil mobilization. Neutrophils lacking CXCR2, the receptor for CXCL1 and CXCL2, are preferentially retained in the bone marrow, reproducing a myelokathexis phenotype. Transient disruption of CXCR4 failed to mobilize CXCR2 neutrophils. However, doubly deficient neutrophils (CXCR2-/- CXCR4-/-) displayed constitutive mobilization, showing that CXCR4 plays a dominant role. Collectively, these data suggest that CXCR2 signaling is a second chemokine axis that interacts antagonistically with CXCR4 to regulate neutrophil release from the bone marrow.
CXCR2 and CXCR4 antagonistically regulate neutrophil trafficking from murine bone marrow.

View SamplesWe previoiusly identified WDR11 as a potential tumor suppressor in murine medulloblastoma models. To determine additional genes/pathways affected by WDR11 overexpression.To compare somatic mutations of murine models with human medulloblastoma (MB), we performed whole-exome sequencing of mouse tumors representing three distinct MB subgroups: Wnt, Sonic Hedgehog (Shh) and Group 3 (G3). 64 somatic mutations were identified and validated, including 40 predicted to cause amino acid changes. After filtering and cross-species analysis with 366 human MBs from four independent studies, human orthologs for 16 of the 40 mouse genes were found to harbor non-silent mutations in human MB. Loss-of-function Mll2 mutations detected in one mouse tumor were previously reported in 30 of 366 human MBs. In mice with G3 MB, one mouse that died at least 15 days earlier than the others had four novel candidate genes harboring non-silent somatic mutations, Lrfn2, Smyd1, Ubn2 and Wdr11. To test whether these genes had tumor suppressive activity, we constitutively overexpressed each wild type gene in murine G3 tumorspheres followed by intracranial implantation. Mice harboring mouse G3 MB overexpressing WDR11 showed extended survival compared to the other three genes. Genes in the KEGG WNT signaling pathway, including Ccnd1/2/3, Myc and Tcf7l1, were down-regulated in G3 MB tumorspheres overexpressing WDR11, consistent with reduced tumor progression. In conclusion, we demonstrated that common spontaneous mutations were shared between human and murine models of MB suggesting similar molecular mechanisms of tumorigenesis, and identified WDR11 as a protein with tumor suppressive activity in G3 MB. Overall design: Compare differentially expressed genes in WDR11 overexpression group versus control group.
Exome sequencing analysis of murine medulloblastoma models identifies WDR11 as a potential tumor suppressor in Group 3 tumors.

View SamplesWe''ve recently shown that we can accelerate disease in a model of SLE (the NZB/W F1 model) using an anti-Ox40 mAb treatment regimen. The disease acceleration is rapid (within 2 weeks) but its unclear, mechanistically, how OX40 functions to promote disease. To that end we want to perform RNASeq on the sorted OX40-expressing CD4 T cells during treatment to understand how they function in response to OX40 signaling in vivo Overall design: RNASeq was performed on FACS sorted CD4 T cells from the spleen and kidney of NZB/W F1 lupus mice following anti-Ox40 agonist mAb treatment and disease acceleration

The disease acceleration is rapid (within 2 weeks) but its unclear, mechanistically, how Ox40 promotes disease. To that end we performed RNASeq on in vitro cultured CD4 T cells during Ox40 and TCR stimulation (in a reductionist setting) to understand how Ox40 signaling impacts cellular phenotype and function, including with and without TCR stimulation Overall design: RNASeq was performed on in vitro cultured CD4 T cells from the spleen of NZB/W F1 lupus prone mice, following anti-Ox40 mAb and anti-CD3/CD28 bead stimulation
