Description
The discovery of the first histone demethylase in 2004 (LSD1/KDM1) opened new avenues for the understanding of how histone methylation impacts cellular functions. A great number of histone demethylases have been identified since, which are potentially linked to gene regulation as well as to stem cell self-renewal and differentiation. KDM6A/UTY and KDM6B/JMJD3 are both H3K27me3/2-specific histone demethylases, which are known to play a central role in regulation of posterior development, by regulating HOX gene expression. So far nothing is known about the role of histone lysine demethylases (KDMs) during early hematopoiesis. We are studying the role of KDM6A and KDM6B on self-renewal, global gene expression and on local and global chromatin states in embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and during differentiation. In order to completely abrogate KDM6 demethylase activity in ESCs we employed a specific inhibitor (GSK-J4, Kruidenier et al. 2012). Treatment of ESCs with GSK-J4 had no effect on viability and proliferation . However, ESC differentiation in the presence of GSK-J4 was completely abrogated. In conclusion we show that ESC differentiation is completely blockend in the absence of any H3K27 demethylase activity.

Description
In order to distinguish transcription changes from RNA modification and post transcription changed, nascent RNA seq via metabolic labeling of freshly synthesized RNA was carried out using 4sU labeling/biotin purification. Overall design: nascent RNA was extractred post N-MYC activation and compared with untreated cells nascent RNA to gather fold changes of pre-mRNA on gene basis.

Description
Gene expression profiling was carried out in six (wild type, ß2SP+/-, ß2SP-/-, SMAD3+/-, SMAD3-/- and ß2SP+/-/ SMAD3+/-) different mouse knockout embryonic fibroblast (MEF) cells. Beta-2-spectrin (ß2SP) is a dynamic intracellular non-pleckstrin homology (PH)-domain protein that belongs to a family of polypeptides that have been implicated in conferring cell polarity. Spectrins have been linked to multiple signaling pathways, including cell cycle regulation, DNA repair and TGFß signaling. In this study, we report a major role of the TGFß/Smad3 adaptor ß2-Spectrin in conserving genomic integrity from alcohol-induced DNA damage and describe a novel pathway that protects genomes from genotoxic stresses. To determine the mechanism for the oncogenic switch, and whether it is related to the role of ß2SP in TGF-ß signaling transduction or secondary to its cytoskeletal functions, we analyzed disruption of two elements of the TGF-ß pathway by generating double heterozygous Sptbn1+/-/Smad3+/- mice. Overall design: Whole-transcriptome RNA sequencing MEF cells of the following genotypes was carried out on an Illumina HiSeq 2000 sequencer: wildtype, heterozygous Beta-2-spectrin knockout (ß2SP+/-), homozygous Beta-2-spectrin knockout (ß2SP-/-), heterozygous SMAD3 (Mothers against decapentaplegic, Drosophila, Homolog of 3, SMAD3+/-), homozygous knockout SMAD3-/-, and double heterozygous mutation of Beta-2-spectrin and SMAD3 (ß2SP+/-/ SMAD3+/-).

Description
Gene expression profiling was carried out in one normal human fibroblast cell line established from normal people and three different cell lines established from BWS patients to characterize the molecular mechanisms relevant to the etiology of BWS and tumor development. Whole-transcriptome sequencing of three BWS fibroblastic cell lines was established from patients with mutation in the CDKN1C mutation (CDKN1C+ cell line), and loss of methylation in the KCNQ1OT1 region (KvDMR+ cell line: with KvDMR molecular defect, and KvDMR- cell line: absence of KvDMR molecular defect but it had some clinical signs of BWS) Overall design: Whole-transcriptome RNA sequencing of the 4 different cell lines

Description
Gene expression profiling was carried out in wild and ß2SP-/- (Sptbn1 -/-) mouse embryonic fibroblast (MEF) cells. Beta-2-spectrin (ß2SP) is a dynamic intracellular non-pleckstrin homology (PH)-domain protein that belongs to a family of polypeptides that have been implicated in conferring cell polarity. Spectrins have been linked to multiple signaling pathways, including cell cycle regulation, DNA repair and TGFß signaling. In this study, we report a major role of the TGFß/Smad3 adaptor ß2-Spectrin in conserving genomic integrity from alcohol-induced DNA damage and describe a novel pathway that protects genomes from genotoxic stresses. Overall design: Whole-transcriptome RNA sequencing of wild-type and ß2SP knockout (ß2SP-/-) mouse embryonic fibroblasts was carried out on an Illumina HiSeq 2000 sequencer. The raw data quality was assessed using a FastQC software. Adaptor presence was tested using Trimmomatic. The readings were then aligned to the NCBI mouse reference genome build 37.2 using the splice-aware aligner Tophat2 v2.0.10. Transcript quantification, normalization and assembly were carried out with Cufflinks. A gene model gtf file corresponding to the NCBI mouse reference genome build 37.2 was used in the quantification. Cuffdiff2, part of the Cufflinks suite of tools, was used to identify significant differences in gene expression profiles between the wild-type and ß2SP-/- MEF cells.

Description
The epicardium, an epithelium covering the heart, is essential for cardiac development. During embryogenesis, the epicardium provides instructive signals for the growth and maturation of cardiomyocytes and for coronary angiogenesis. We generated an in vitro model of human embryonic epicardium derived from human pluripotent stem cells (hPSC-epi). These cells were able to differentiate into cardiac fibroblasts (cf) and smooth muscle cells (smc) in vitro (hPSC-epi-cf and hPSC-epi-smc respectively). Furthermore, we showed that they improved maturation of hPSC-derived cardiomyocytes (hPSC-cardio) in vitro while neural crest cells derived from hPSC (hPSC-NC) could not. Furthermore, they improved survival of hPSC-cardio and stimulated angiogenesis when injected in a rat model of myocardium infarction. We performed mRNA sequencing of the hPSC-epi, hPSC-epi-cf, hPSC-smc and hPSC-NC in order to identify the secreted molecules specifically produced by the hPSC-epi and/or its derivatives in comparison with the hPSC-NC. Vascular smooth muscle cells have different embryonic origins and different properties depending on their location in the body. The coronary smooth muscle cells come from the epicardium while the aortic ones come from the mesoderm or the neural crest. We performed mRNA sequencing of human coronary artery smc and human aortic smc to identify a specific signature of the coronary smc. We also compared the genes expressed in the hPSC-epi-smc and the smc derived from hPSC-derived lateral plate mesoderm. Overall design: For hPSC-derived samples the three replicates are coming from three different in vitro differentiations from H9. For the human primary cells, the triplicates are technical replicates (three different wells from the same culture at the same passage)
