View SamplesWe report the results of RNA-Seq and small RNA-Seq from a pair of HCA7-derived, KRAS wildtype CC and CC-CR cultured in 3D. A total of 361 genes showed more than a two-fold change in expression (false-discovery rate [FDR] - adjusted p<0.01) between CC-CR and CC; there were 141 transcripts upregulated and 220 transcripts downregulated in CC-CR compared to CC. Small RNA-Seq detected 7 miRNAs upregulated and 24 miRNAs downregulated in CC-CR cells compared to CC cells (fold change>2, FDR<0.01). Differential expression analysis revealed several novel candidates that may contribute to cetuximab resistance. The whole-transcriptome profilings using cetuximab resistance model from 3D culture provide novel candidates for cetuximab resistance and further functional studies might open the door to a novel understanding of how non-mutational mechanisms mediate cetuximab resistance. Overall design: mRNA and small-RNA profiles of cetuximab sensitive CC and resistant CC-CR from 3D culture were generated by deep sequencing, in triplicate, using Illumina NextSeq 500 sequencer.

View SamplesAlveolar rhabdomyosarcoma (aRMS) is a soft tissue sarcoma associated with the skeletal muscle lineage. The majority of aRMS tumors express the fusion protein PAX3-FOXO1 (PF), which has proven chemically intractable. As such, we identified proteins downstream from or cooperate with PF to support tumorigenesis, including SFRP3 (FRZB). Suppression of SFRP3 using lentivirally transduced shRNAs inhibits cell growth in vitro and tumor growth in vivo. This study aims to identify the genetic changes that underlie the SFRP3 suppression-mediated decreased cell growth. We analyzed changes using Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment and found the induced genes were enriched in striated muscle development/differentiation. In contrast, the repressed genes were enriched in response to stimulus and cell cycle/mitosis genes. We also observed as expected downregulation of SFRP3 (FRZB) but also downregulation of Wnt pathway-repressing genes such as CTBP2 (a transcriptional repressor of TCF, similar to CTBP1 ) and NAV2 (which is downstream from APC). Conversely, we noted upregulation of genes including CCND1 (cyclin D1) and SNAI2 (SLUG), both Wnt signaling target genes and WNT6, which is known to inhibit myoblast proliferation but induce myoblast elongation.

View SamplesDuring cold acclimation plants increase their freezing tolerance in response to low non-freezing temperatures. This is accompanied by many physiological, biochemical and molecular changes that have been extensively investigated. In addition, many cold acclimated plants become more freezing tolerant during exposure to mild, non-damaging sub-zero temperatures. There is hardly any information available about the molecular basis of this adaptation. However, Arabidopsis thaliana is among the species that acclimate to sub-zero temperatures. This makes it possible to use the molecular and genetic tools available in this species to identify components of sub-zero signal transduction and acclimation. Here, we have used microarrays and a qRT-PCR primer platform covering 1880 genes encoding transcription factors to monitor changes in gene expression in the accessions Columbia-0, Rschew and Tenela during the first three days of sub-zero acclimation at -3C. The results indicate that gene expression during sub-zero acclimation follows a tighly controlled time-course. Especially AP2/EREBP and WRKY transcription factors may be important regulators of sub-zero acclimation, although the CBF signal transduction pathway seems to be less important during sub-zero than during cold acclimation. Globally, we estimate that approximately 5% of all Arabidopsis genes are regulated during sub-zero acclimation. Particularly photosynthesis-related genes were down-regulated and genes belonging to the functional classes of cell wall biosynthesis, hormone metabolism and RNA regulation of transcription were up-regulated. Collectively, these data provide the first global analysis of gene expression during sub-zero acclimation and allow the identification of candidate genes for forward and reverse genetic studies into the molecular mechanisms of sub-zero acclimation.

Gene expression profiles of implantation failure cases of unexplained infertility were compared with proven healthy oocyte donors as controls, both undergoing ovarian stimulation.
