View SamplesIn osteosarcoma patients, the development of metastases, often to the lungs, is the most frequent cause of death. To improve this situation, a deeper understanding of the molecular mechanisms governing osteosarcoma development and dissemination and the identification of novel drug targets for an improved treatment are needed. Towards this aim, we characterized osteosarcoma tissue samples compared to primary osteoblast cells using Affymetrix HG U133A microarrays.

View SamplesThe transcriptome of the three atino80 allelic mutants was compared to that of wild-type and 50B Arabidopsis plants (see Fritsch et al. 2004). Since the transcriptomes of 50B and wild-type plants were found to be identical, we compared expression in the mutant with 50B and with wild-type without distinction. Therefore, we had four replicates of the wild type condition (50B line, wild-type) and two replicates for each of the mutant alleles (atino80-1, atino80-2 and atino80-3), all ecotype Columbia. All lines were profiled in duplicate (grown independently at 2-week-intervals).

View SamplesBackground/aims: Serum concentrations of the hepatokine fibroblast growth factor (FGF) 21 are elevated in obesity, type2 diabetes, and the metabolic syndrome. We asked whether FGF21 levels differ between subjects with metabolically healthy vs. unhealthy obesity (MHO vs. MUHO) opening the possibility that FGF21 is a crosstalker between liver and adipose tissue in MUHO. Furthermore, we studied the effects of chronic FGF21 treatment on adipocyte differentiation, lipid storage, and adipokine secretion.
Fibroblast growth factor 21 is elevated in metabolically unhealthy obesity and affects lipid deposition, adipogenesis, and adipokine secretion of human abdominal subcutaneous adipocytes.

View SamplesHere we quantified the transcription start site usage in a WT strain (BY4741) and a ?set2 strain associated with the appearence of cryptic transcription start sites. Overall design: Transcription start site usage was quantified using the 5’cap sequencing aproach for S. cerevisiae strains. Biological duplicates were included.

The histone H3 lysine 9 methyltransferases G9a and GLP regulate polycomb repressive complex 2-mediated gene silencing.
Specimen part
View SamplesG9a/GLP and Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2) are two major epigenetic silencing machineries, which in particular methylate histone H3 on lysines 9 and 27 (H3K9 and H3K27), respectively. Although evidence of a crosstalk between H3K9 and H3K27 methylations has started to emerge, their actual interplay remains elusive. Here, we show that PRC2 and G9a/GLP interact physically and functionally. Moreover, combining different genome-wide approaches, we demonstrate that Ezh2 and G9a/GLP share an important number of common genomic targets, encoding developmental and neuronal regulators. Furthermore, we show that G9a enzymatic activity modulates PRC2 genomic recruitment to a subset of its target genes. Taken together, our findings demonstrate an unanticipated interplay between two main histone lysine methylation mechanisms, which cooperate to maintain silencing of a subset of developmental genes.
