CF's physiopathology is poorly explained by the mutation alone. The oxydative stress could be a major factor of this illness . Study its impact on transcriptome's CF cell line could be ameliorate our understanding of the evolution of cystic fibrosis.

View SamplesTha altered biological pathways in Epidermolysis bulloda simplex, a rare monogenetic skin disease, have not been well characterized. Thus, the goal of this study is to characterize the expression profile of EBS patients compared with normal subjects using genomic expression analyses. Microarray analyses were performed with RNA isolated from skin biopsies. Robust multiarray analysis (RMA) normalization and Smyths moderated t test were used to select differentially expressed genes. Expression profiling comparisons show that 28 genes are differentially expressed in EBS patients compared to control subjects and 41 genes in EBS-DM compared to their matched controls. Nine genes involved in fatty acid metabolism and 2 genes in epidermal keratinisation are common altered expressed genes between the two subgroups. These two biological pathways contribute both to the formation of the cell envelope barrier and seem to be defective in the severe EBS phenotype. This study demonstrates, for the first time, the relevance of metabolic cluster, specifically fatty acid metabolism in EBS biology. Difference of expression for three (AWAT2, ELOVL , and SPRR4 ) of the five selected genes were validated using real-time reverse transcriptionpolymerase chain reaction. To our knowledge, the distinctive pattern of gene expression that characterizes EBS versus healthy skin tissue has never been reported.

View SamplesConsumption of walnuts has slowed breast cancer growth and/or reduced the risk of breast cancer in mice. The significantly reduced mean tumor size or numbers of tumors was associated with changing the expressions of many genes that are associated with cancer growth, survival and metastasis. Many women treated for breast cancer are interested in reducing the risk for recurrence. The study was a non-placebo, two-arm, clinical trial. Women with lumps large enough for research and pathology biopsies were recruited to the trial. One or two additional biopsies were taken for gene expression analyses using next generation RNA Sequencing methods. The subjects randomized to the walnut group immediately began to consume 2 ounces of walnuts per day until follow-up surgery, if surgery were needed. At follow up surgery, additional biopsies were taken from the surgically removed, cancerous tissue for additional gene expression analyses. Changes in gene expression compared to baseline were determined in tumors of each individual woman in walnut-consuming and control groups. Overall design: Gene expression profiles of two samples from each of ten breast cancer patients were obtained via RNA-Seq in a 2x50bp paired-end design. The first sample was obtained from biopsy; the second sample was taken at the time of surgery 2-3 weeks later. Five patients consumed two one-ounce packets of walnuts daily between the biopsy and surgery, while the other five remained on their regular diet.

View SamplesRAS mutations are highly relevant for progression and therapy response of human tumours, but the genetic network that ultimately executes the oncogenic effects is poorly understood. Here we used a reverse-engineering approach in an ovarian cancer model to reconstruct KRAS oncogene-dependent cytoplasmic and transcriptional networks from perturbation experiments based on gene silencing and pathway inhibitor treatments. We measured mRNA and protein levels in manipulated cells by microarray, RT-PCR and Western Blot analysis, respectively. The reconstructed model revealed complex interactions among the transcriptional and cytoplasmic components, some of which were confirmed by double pertubation experiments. Interestingly, the transcription factors decomposed into two hierarchically arranged groups. To validate the model predictions we analysed growth parameters and transcriptional deregulation in the KRAS-transformed epithelial cells. As predicted by the model, we found two functional groups among the selected transcription factors. The experiments thus confirmed the predicted hierarchical transcription factor regulation and showed that the hierarchy manifests itself in downstream gene expression patterns and phenotype.

View SamplesProteome and transcriptome often show poor correlation, hindering the system-wide analysis of post-transcriptional regulation. Here, the authors study proteome and transcriptome dynamics during Drosophila embryogenesis and present basic mathematical models describing the temporal regulation of most protein-RNA pairs. Overall design: Whole embryos of Drosophila melanogaster measured at 14 time points during the first 20h of development (0h, 1h, 2h, 3h, 4h, 5h, 6h, 8h, 10h, 12h, 14h, 16h, 18h, 20h). Each sample was measured in biological quadruplicates. RNAseq samples correspond to proteome measurements deposited in ProteomeXchange as PXD005713.

View SamplesWine biological aging is a wine making process used to produce specific beverages in several countries in Europe, including Spain, Italy, France, and Hungary. This process involves the formation of a velum at the surface of the wine. Here, we present the first large scale comparison of all European flor strains involved in this process. We inferred the population structure of these European flor strains from their microsatellite genotype diversity and analyzed their ploidy. We show that almost all of these flor strains belong to the same cluster and are diploid, except for a few Spanish strains. Comparison of the array hybridization profile of six flor strains originating from these four countries, with that of three wine strains did not reveal any large segmental amplification. Nonetheless, some genes, including YKL221W/MCH2 and YKL222C, were amplified in the genome of four out of six flor strains. Finally, we correlated ICR1 ncRNA and FLO11 polymorphisms with flor yeast population structure, and associate the presence of wild type ICR1 and a long Flo11p with thin velum formation in a cluster of Jura strains. These results provide new insight into the diversity of flor yeast and show that combinations of different adaptive changes can lead to an increase of hydrophobicity and affect velum formation.
