Expression data from mice exposed to intermittent hypoxia and mice reared for 12 months. We used microarrays to analyze the transcriptome of hippocampus from mice exposed to intermittent hypoxia or aged mice.

However, the molecular bases of such masculinization of fetal ovaries in the paternal environment were unclear.

View SamplesIn mammals, chromosomes are partitioned into megabase-sized topologically associating domains (TADs). TADs can be in either A (active) or B (inactive) subnuclear compartments, which correspond to early (E) and late (L) replicating timing (RT) domains, respectively. Here, we show that RT changes are tightly correlated with A/B compartment changes during mouse embryonic stem cell (mESC) differentiation. A/B compartments changed mostly by a “boundary shift,” frequently causing compartment switching of single TADs, which coincided with or preceded RT changes. Upon differentiation, mESCs acquired an A/B compartment organization that closely resembled EpiSCs (epiblast-derived stem cells), suggesting that accumulation of compartment boundary repositioning eventually led to naïve-to-primed pluripotency transition in A/B compartment organization. We propose that large-scale reorganization of A/B compartments, which is reflected in RT domain reorganization, represents major cell fate changes. Collectively, our data provides valuable insights into the regulatory principles of 3-dimensional (3D) genome organization during early embryonic stages. Overall design: RNA-Seq: 9 cell types, with a total of 34 individual replicates.

Although some effects of hypercapnia on physiology and cell signaling have been characterized, we hypothesized that assessment of genome-wide gene expression patterns would reveal novel pathways of protection.

View SamplesPartial induced pluripotent cells (iPSCs) are cell lines strayed from normal route from somatic cells to iPSCs and are immortalized. Mouse partial iPSCs are able to convert to real iPSCs by the exposure to 2i condition using MAPK and GSK3? inhibitors. However, the molecular mechanisms of this conversion are totally not known. Our piggyback vector mediated genome-wide screen revealed that Cnot2, one of core components of Ccr4-Not complex participates in this conversion. Subsequent analyses revealed other core components, i.e., Cnot1 and Cnot3 and Trim28 which is known to extensively share genomic binding sites with Cnot3 contribute to this conversion as well. Our bioinformatics analyses indicate that the major role of these factors in the conversion is the down-regulation of developmental genes in partial iPSCs.

View SamplesTelomere erosion causes cell mortality, suggesting that longer telomeres allow greater number of cell division. In telomerase-positive human cancer cells, however, telomeres are often kept shorter than the surrounding normal tissues. Recently, we have shown that telomere elongation in cancer cells represses innate immune genes and promotes their differentiation in vivo. This implies that short telomeres contribute to cancer malignancy, but it is unclear how such genetic repression is caused by long telomeres. Here we report that telomeric repeat-containing RNA (TERRA) induces genome-wide alteration of gene expression in telomere-elongated cancer cells in vivo. Using three different cell lines, we found that G4 forming oligonucleotide repressed innate immune genes in vivo 3D culture conditions. Most of the suppressed genes belonged to innate immune system categories and were upregulated in various cancers. We propose that TERRA G4 counteracts cancer malignancy through suppression of innate immune genes.
