Cap Analysis of Gene Expression (CAGE) applied on carbon nanotubes exposed lung tissue to identify alternative promoter and enhancer usage after 24 hr of exposure in order to investigate the nature of the response observed in these mice. Overall design: C57BL/6 mice was exposed to vehicle or multi walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) by intratracheal installation. 5 mice was exposed to 162 ug of MWCNTs ( XNRI-7; lot05072001K28, Hadoga Chemical industry (formerly known as Mitsui) disolved in 0.9% NaCl and 10% v/v cellfree cellular broncho alveolar lavage (BAL) fluid collected from C57BL/6 mice. 6 mice was exposed to the previously decribed saline/BAL solution but without carbon nanotubes.

View Samples-myosin heavy chain promoter controlled MerCreMer expression enables conditional, cardiomyocyte specific and tamoxifen dependent gene inactivation of floxed genes. Administration of tamoxifen has been linked to development of acute and transient cardiomyopathy. The mechanism for this is unknown.
Cre-loxP DNA recombination is possible with only minimal unspecific transcriptional changes and without cardiomyopathy in Tg(alphaMHC-MerCreMer) mice.

View SamplesThe noncluster homeodomain containing gene, HOX11/TLX1 (TLX1) is detected at the breakpoint of the t(10;14)(q24;q11) chromosome translocation in patients with T cell Acute Lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL). This translocation results in the inappropriate expression of TLX1 in T cells. The oncogenic potential of TLX1 was demonstrated in IgH-TLX1Tg mice, which developed mature B cell lymphoma after a long latency period suggesting the requirement of additional mutations to initiate malignancy.
Ectopic TLX1 expression accelerates malignancies in mice deficient in DNA-PK.

View SamplesA subset of GC B cells that have stopped cycling, upregulated CD38 and downregulated BCL-6 is functionally verified as GC-derived memory B cell precursors (GC-MPs). RNA-seq analyses of the transcriptome were used to probe the developmental trajectory of these cells and their responses to IL-9, a cytokine that is found to drive the memory development from the GC. Overall design: Differential gene expression analyses between GC-MP cells and regular GC B cells in G1 phase (GC-MPP cells); Gene expression profiling of different GC subsets in comparison to memory B cells and plasma cells; acute effects of in vivo IL-9 or anti-IL-9 treatment on GC-MP or GC-MPP cells.

View SamplesGenome-scale methods have identified subchromosomal structures so-called topologically associated domains (TADs) that subdivide the genome into discrete regulatory units, establish with their target genes. By re-engineering human duplications at the SOX9 locus in mice combined with 4C-seq and Capture Hi-C experiments, we show that genomic duplications can result in the formation of novel chromatin domains (neo-TADs) and that this process determines their molecular pathology. Overall design: RNA-seq of embryonic limb buds for WT and mutant animals carrying structural variations at the Sox9/Kcnj locus.
Formation of new chromatin domains determines pathogenicity of genomic duplications.

View SamplesImmune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is an autoimmune disease where platelets are destroyed prematurely. In the majority of children the disease resolves but in some it becomes chronic. To investigate whether the two forms of the disease are similar or separate entities we performed DNA microarray analysis of T-cells from newly diagnosed children and children with chronic ITP. We found complete separation of the expression files between the two forms of the disease. Furthermore, the gene expression of several cytokines differed between the two forms of the disease. This was also reflected in plasma with increased levels of IL-16 and TWEAK and lower levels of IL-4 in newly diagnosed compared with chronic ITP. Thus, our data indicate that the two forms of the disease may be separate entities.

View SamplesClear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC), the major histotype of cancer derived from kidney, is lack of robust prognostic and/or predictive biomarker and powerful therapeutic target. We previously identified that follistatin-like protein 1 (FSTL1) was significantly down-regulated in ccRCC at the transcription level. In the present study, we characterized, for the first time, that FSTL1 immunostaining was selectively positive in the cytoplasm of distal convoluted tubules. The expression of FSTL1 was significantly lower in ccRCC tissues than in adjacent renal tissues (P<0.001), as measured using immunohistochemistry in 69 patients with paired specimens, and lower in most ccRCC cell lines than in human embryonic kidney cells, as measured by quantitative RT-PCR. Multivariate Cox regression analysis in 89 patients with follow-up data showed that FSTL1 expression in tumors conferred a favorable postoperative prognosis independently, with a hazard ratio of 0.325 (95% confidence interval: 0.118-0.894). FSTL1 knockdown promoted anchorage independent growth, mobility, and invasion of ccRCC cell lines and promoted cell cycle from G0/G1 phases into S phase; while over-expression of FSTL1 significantly attenuated cell migration ability in ACHN cells. FSTL1 knockdown resulted in decreased expression of E-cadherin and increased expression of N-cadherin in ccRCC cell lines significantly, indicating that FSTL1 may attenuate epithelial to mesenchymal transition in ccRCC. Microarray assay indicated that NF-B and HIF-2 pathways were activated following FSTL1 knockdown in ccRCC cells. Our study indicates that FSTL1 serves as a tumor suppressor in ccRCC, up-regulation of FSTL1 in cancer cells may be a candidate target therapy for advanced ccRCC.
