View SamplesPerturbation of the gated-synchrony system in yeast with phenelzine, an antidepressant drug used in the treatment of affective disorders in humans, leads to a rapid lengthening in the period of the genome-wide transcriptional oscillation. The effect is a concerted, genome-scale change in expression that is first seen in genes maximally expressed in the late-reductive phase of the cycle, doubling the length of the reductive phase within two cycles after treatment. Clustering of genes based on their temporal patterns of expression yielded just three super clusters whose trajectories through time could then be mapped into a simple 3D figure. In contrast to transcripts in the late-reductive phase, most transcripts do not show transients in expression relative to others in their temporal cluster but change their period in a concerted fashion. Mapping the trajectories of the transcripts into low-dimensional surfaces that can be represented by simple systems of differential equations provides a readily testable model of the dynamic architecture of phenotype. In this system, period doubling may be a preferred pathway for phenotypic change. As a practical matter, low-amplitude, genome-wide oscillations, a ubiquitous but often unrecognized attribute of phenotype, could be a source of seemingly intractable biological noise in microarray studies.
A rapid genome-scale response of the transcriptional oscillator to perturbation reveals a period-doubling path to phenotypic change.

View SamplesGenetic and environmental factors influence the phenotype of an organism. Time is rarely considered when studying changes in cellular phenotype. Time-resolved microarray data revealed genome-wide transcriptional changes in cells oscillating with ~2 and ~4 h periods. We mapped the global patterns of transcriptional oscillations into a 3-dimensional map to represent different cellular phenotypes of oscillation period. This map shows the dynamic nature of transcripts through time and concentration space, and that they are ordered and coupled to each other. Although cells differed in oscillation periods, transcripts involved in certain processes were conserved in a deterministic way. This ordered timing of biological process may allow cells to grow energetically efficient. Decreased glucose levels in the media were found to increase the redox cycles of yeast strain CEN.PK113-7D. Glucose may have acted as signaling molecules for timing longer catabolic processes in the cell population. As oscillation period lengthened, the peak to trough ratio of transcripts increased and the percent of cells in the unbudded (G0/G1) phase of the cell cycle increased. Gene transcripts appear to be coordinated with metabolic functions and the cell cycle.

View SamplesConstitutive activation of EGFR- and NF-kB-dependent pathways is a hallmark of cancer, yet signaling proteins that connect both oncogenic cascades are poorly characterized. Here we define KIAA1199 as a BCL-3- and p65-dependent gene in transformed keratinocytes. KIAA1199 expression is enhanced upon human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and is aberrantly expressed in clinical cases of cervical (pre)neoplastic lesions. Mechanistically, KIAA1199 binds Plexin A2 and protects from Semaphorin 3A-mediated cell death by promoting EGFR stability and signaling. Moreover, KIAA1199 is an EGFR-binding protein and KIAA1199 deficiency impairs EGF-dependent Src, MEK1 and ERK1/2 phosphorylations. Therefore, EGFR stability and signaling to downstream kinases requires KIAA1199. As such, KIAA1199 promotes EGF-mediated epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Taken together, our data define KIAA1199 as an oncogenic protein induced by HPV infection and constitutive NF-kB activity that transmits pro-survival and invasive signals through EGFR signaling.
NF-κB-induced KIAA1199 promotes survival through EGFR signalling.

View SamplesThe goal of this study was to examine whether immune responses to Plasmodium chabaudi infection differ between the sexes and are altered by the presence of gonadal steroids. Gonadally-intact males were more likely than intact females to die following P. chabaudi infection, exhibit slower recovery from infection-associated weight loss, hypothermia, and anemia, have reduced IFN-associated gene expression and IFN production during peak parasitemia, and produce less antibody during the recovery phase of infection. Gonadectomy of male and female mice altered these sex-associated differences, suggesting that sex steroid hormone, in particular androgens and estrogens, may modulate immune responses to infection.

View SamplesTo determine what DNA methylation and gene expression changes occur following EBV transformation. B-cells were isolated from 3 donors. Resting, CD40 activated and EBV transfromed cells from each donor was analyzed. Each sample was assayed using Affymetrix expression arrays and whole genome bisulfite sequenicng. Additional time points during transformation and activation were sequenced as well, but not assayed for expression.
