The goal of this study was to determine the effects of dietary selenium levels on translational control of selenoprotein synthesis in mouse liver. Overall design: Wild type mice and mice expressing a mutant Sec-tRNA gene (TrspA37G) were fed diets supplemented with 0, 0.1, or 2 ppm selenium for 6 weeks. Livers were harvested and ribosome and mRNA profiles were generated by deep-sequencing using the Illumina HiSeq 2000.
Translational redefinition of UGA codons is regulated by selenium availability.

View SamplesThis present study is the first to investigate the global changes in host gene expression during the interaction of human bronchial epithelial cells and live Alternaria spores. Human bronchial epithelial cells (BEAS2-B) were exposed to spores or media alone for 24 hours. RNA was collected from three biological replicates/treatment and used to assess changes in gene expression patterns using Affymetrix Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 Arrays. Interestingly, many cytokine/chemokine immune response genes were upregulated. Genes involved in cell death, retinoic acid signaling, TLR3, and interferon response pathways were also significantly upregulated.

View SamplesER:RAS-G12V expressing IMR90 cells were transduced with N1ICD-containing or control vectors before treatment with either 100nM 4-OHT or vehicle for 6 days leading to Notch-induced senescence (NIS), RAS-induced senescence (RIS) or combined Notch and Ras-induced senescence (RNIS). Overall design: IMR90 cells expressing a 4-hydroxytamoxifen (4-OHT) inducible estrogen receptor (ER)-coupled RAS-G12V (ER:RAS-G12V) were transduced with N1ICD-FLAG-containing (residues 1758-2556 of human NOTCH1, as per Capobianco et al, Mol Cell Biol, 1997) or control vector before treatment with either 100nM 4-OHT or vehicle for 6 days , leading to RAS-induced senescence (RIS), NOTCH-induced senescence (NIS) or combined Ras & NOTCH-induced senescence (RNIS). The total RNA was then analysed for transcriptional profiling using mRNA-sequencing. There were 6 (six) biological replicates for each experimental condition. Untreated, vector-transduced ER:RAS IMR90 cells were the control condition

View SamplesShort-term bed rest is used to simulate muscle disuse in humans. In our previous reports, we found that 5d of bed rest induced a ~4% loss of skeletal muscle mass in OLD (60-79 y) but not YOUNG (18-28 y) subjects. Identifying muscle transcriptional events in response to bed rest and age-related differences will help identify therapeutic targets to offset muscle loss in vulnerable older adult populations. Skeletal muscle dysregulation during bed rest in the old may be driven by alterations in molecules related to fibrosis, inflammation, and cell adhesion. This information may aide in the development of mechanistic-based therapies to combat muscle atrophy during short-term disuse. Short-term muscle disuse is also characterized by skeletal muscle insulin resistance, though this response is divergent across subjects. The mechanisms regulating inactivity-induced insulin resistance between populations that are more or less susceptible to disuse-induced insulin resistance are not known, and delineated by age. High Susceptibility participants were uniquely characterized with muscle gene responses described by a decrease in pathways responsible for lipid uptake and oxidation, decreased capacity for triglyceride export (APOB), increased lipogenesis (i.e., PFKFB3, FASN), and increased amino acid export (SLC43A1). Overall design: RNA was isolated and sequenced from muscle biopsies obtained from the vastus lateralis of YOUNG (N=9) and OLD (N=18) men and women before and after five days of bed rest. Sequencing libraries (18 pM) were chemically denatured and applied to an Illumina TruSeq v3 single read flowcell using an Illumina cBot. Hybridized molecules were clonally amplified and annealed to sequencing primers with reagents from an Illumina TruSeq SR Cluster Kit v3-cBot-HS (GD-401-3001). Following transfer of the flowcell to an Illumina HiSeq 2500 instrument (HCS v2.0.12 and RTA v1.17.21.3), a 50 cycle single read sequence run was performed using TruSeq SBS v3 sequencing reagents (FC-401-3002). The design formula was constructed by following the section on group-specific condition effects, individuals nested within groups in the DESeq2 vignette. The design included age + age:nested + age:time to test for differences in bed rest in old subjects, young subjects and the interaction, in this case if bed rest effects are different between the two age groups (where age is young or old, nested is patient number nested by age and time is pre- or post-bed rest). A similar design was used to determine susceptibility to disuse-induced insulin resistance, where “susceptibility” took the place of “age”.
Disuse-induced insulin resistance susceptibility coincides with a dysregulated skeletal muscle metabolic transcriptome.

View SamplesDrosophila melanogaster adult males perform an elaborate courtship ritual to entice females to mate. fruitless (fru), a gene that is one of the key regulators of male courtship behavior, encodes multiple male-specific isoforms (FruM). These isoforms vary in their carboxy-terminal zinc finger domains, which are predicted to facilitate DNA binding. By over-expressing individual FruM isoforms in fru-expressing neurons in either males or females and assaying the global transcriptional response by RNA-sequencing, we show that three FruM isoforms have different regulatory activities that depend on the sex of the fly. We identified several sets of genes regulated downstream of FruM isoforms. Overall design: RNA seqeuncing was performed on mRNA derived from adult male or female heads, for a total of 39 samples. These samples included two wild type genotypes (Berlin and Canton-S), two transheterozygous mutants for fru P1 (Df(3R)P14/Df(3R)fru4-40 and fruw12/ Df(3R)ChaM5), and 3 overexpressing genotypes (fru P1-Gal4: UAS-FruMA, UAS-FruMB, UAS-FruMC). There were at least 3 replicates from biological samples for all sex by genotype combinations.

View SamplesRegulation of gene expression at the post-transcriptional level plays an indispensable role during TGFbeta-induced EMT and metastasis. This regulation involves a transcript-selective translational regulatory pathway in which a ribonucleoprotein (mRNP) complex, consisting of heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein E1 (hnRNP E1) and eukaryotic elongation factor 1A1 (eEF1A1), binds to a 3-UTR regulatory BAT (TGF activated translation) element and silences translation of Dab2 and ILEI mRNAs, two transcripts which are involved in mediating EMT. TGFbeta activates a kinase cascade terminating in the phosphorylation of hnRNP E1, by isoform-specific stimulation of protein kinase B/Akt2, inducing the release of the mRNP complex from the 3-UTR element, resulting in the reversal of translational silencing and increased expression of Dab2 and ILEI transcripts.

View SamplesMice were fed Se-deficient or Se-adequate diets for 6 weeks. Liver and lung tissue were harvested and processed for RNA-Seq, ribosome profiling, and microarray analysis. From these studies, we identified changes in mRNA levels and translation of selenoprotein genes and genes regulated by interferon-gamma. Cytokine profiles of serum indicated that interferon-gamma and IL-6 levels were increased in the Se-adequate mice relative to Se-deficient mice.
