To identify signature genes associated with increased osteoblastic phenotype in response to co-culture of mesenchymal and neuroblastoma cells
Interaction between bone marrow stromal cells and neuroblastoma cells leads to a VEGFA-mediated osteoblastogenesis.

View SamplesWe have analysed the activity of the nuclear exosome during meiosis by deletion of TRF4, which encodes a key component of the exosome targeting complex TRAMP. We find that TRAMP mutants produce high levels of CUTs during meiosis that are undetectable in wild-type cells, showing that the nuclear exosome remains functional for CUT degradation. Lack of TRAMP activity stabilises ~1600 CUTs in meiotic cells, which occupy 40% of the binding capacity of the nuclear cap binding complex (CBC). Overall design: One sample each of Cbc2-associated RNA from wild-type and trf4-deleted cells at 6 hours of meiosis
The nuclear exosome is active and important during budding yeast meiosis.

Methylome and transcriptome profiling in Myasthenia Gravis monozygotic twins.

View SamplesMyasthenia gravis (MG) is a relatively rare autoimmune neuromuscular disorder. Monozygotic twin studies indicate that discordance rate in MG is about 70-60%, suggesting that despite identical DNA unknown factors contribute to disease development. The aim of the current study was to identify novel disease-associated genes in purified monocytes, including both genes associated with predisposition or with disease course, using the unique model of MZ twins. Thus the transcriptome and methylome were compared between twins discordant and concordant for the diseases, as well as MG singletons, and healthy controls. Several transcripts associated with immune homeostasis and inflammation resolution were highlighted in the current study. High similarity between the healthy and the MG discordant twins found, suggest that genetic predisposition may have a stronger contribution then previously assumed. In addition, results suggest that numerous small changes in expression and DNA methylation might contribute to disease onset making it more difficult to pick up

View SamplesAberrant activation of FGFR3 via overexpression or mutation is a frequent feature of bladder cancer; however, its molecular and cellular consequences and functional relevance to carcinogenesis are not well understood. In this study with a bladder carcinoma cell line expressing inducible FGFR3 shRNAs, we sought to identiy transcriptional targets of FGFR3 and investigate their contribution to bladder cancer development.

Acquisition of murine NK cell cytotoxicity requires the translation of a pre-existing pool of granzyme B and perforin mRNAs.
