Primary mitochondrial respiratory chain (RC) diseases are heterogeneous in etiology and manifestations but collectively impair cellular energy metabolism. To identify a common cellular response to RC disease, systems biology level transcriptome investigations were performed in human RC disease skeletal muscle and fibroblasts. Global transcriptional and post-transcriptional dysregulation in a tissue-specific fashion was identified across diverse RC complex and genetic etiologies. RC disease muscle was characterized by decreased transcription of cytosolic ribosomal proteins to reduce energy-intensive anabolic processes, increased transcription of mitochondrial ribosomal proteins, shortened 5'-UTRs to improve translational efficiency, and stabilization of 3'-UTRs containing AU-rich elements. These same modifications in a reversed direction typified RC disease fibroblasts. RC disease also dysregulated transcriptional networks related to basic nutrient-sensing signaling pathways, which collectively mediate many aspects of tissue-specific cellular responses to primary RC disease. These findings support the utility of a systems biology approach to improve mechanistic understanding of mitochondrial RC disease.

View SamplesThis dataset contains collected RNASeq data of 552 samples from the GOYA clinical trial. Overall design: The GOYA trial tested the efficacy of Gazyva (GA101) compared with Rituxan (Rituximab) in first line, untreated DLBCL patients. Patients were randomized 1:1 to either G or R combined with a CHOP chemotherapy backbone. Tumor samples were collected at baseline, RNA was isolated using RNA-Access, and RNASeq was run with TruSeq (Illumina) RNASeq.

View SamplesHutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS) is a premature aging disease that is frequently caused by a de novo point mutation at position 1824 in LMNA. This mutation activates a cryptic splice donor site in exon 11, and leads to an in-frame deletion within the prelamin A mRNA and the production of a dominant negative lamin A protein, known as progerin. Here we show that HGPS cells experience genome-wide alterations in patterns of H3K27me3 deposition, changes in the associations of genomic loci with nuclear lamin A/C, and, at late passages, genome-wide loss of spatial compartmentalization of active and inactive chromatin domains that characterizes chromosome folding in normal cells. We further demonstrate that the H3K27me3 changes associate with gene expression alterations in HGPS cells. Our results support a model that the accumulation of progerin in the nuclear lamina leads to altered H3K27me3 marks in heterochromatin, possibly through the down-regulation of EZH2, and disrupts heterochromatin-lamina interactions. These changes may then lead to the genomic disorganization and changes in transcriptional regulation we observe in HGPS fibroblasts.

View SamplesTumors that show evidence of epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) have been associated with metastasis, drug resistance, and poor prognosis. EMT may alter the molecular requirements for growth and survival in different contexts, but the underlying mechanisms remain incomplete. Given the heterogeneity along the EMT spectrum between and within tumors it is important to define the requirements for growth and survival in cells with an epithelial or mesenchymal phenotype to maximize therapeutic efficacy.

View SamplesThese RNA-seq data were generated to correlate with genomic interaction data in a related Hi-C analysis. MCF10A is a normal-like mammary epithelial cell line and MCF7 is a transformed estrogen responsive breast cancer cell line derived from a metastatic site; both are commonly used in models of breast cancer progression. Analysis revealed a set of genes related to repression of WNT signalling that were both up-regulated in MCF7 and located in genomic regions that had transitioned from closed to open structure in MCF7. Overall design: RNA-seq of MCF10A and MCF7 cells. 3 replicates each. Sequencing was strand-specific and conducted on ribo-depleted RNA.

View SamplesAims: Hypertension poses a significant challenge to vasculature homeostasis and stands as the most common cardiovascular disease in the world. Its effects are especially profound on vasculature-lining endothelial cells that are directly exposed to the effects of excess pressure. Here, we characterize the in vivo transcriptomic response of cardiac endothelial cells to hypertension using the spontaneous hypertension mouse model BPH/2J. Methods and results: Verification of defective endothelial function in the BPH/2J hypertensive mouse strain was followed by acute isolation of cardiac endothelial cells and transcriptional profiling using RNA sequencing. Gene profiles from normotensive BPN/3J mice were compared to hypertensive animals. We observed over 3000 transcriptional differences between groups including pathways consistent with the cardiac fibrosis found in hypertensive animals. Importantly, many of the fibrosis-linked genes also differ between juvenile pre-hypertensive and adult hypertensive BPH/2J mice, suggesting that these transcriptional differences are hypertension-related. We also show that blood pressure normalization with amlodipine resulted in a subset of genes reversing their expression pattern, supporting the hypertension-dependency of altered gene expression. Yet, other transcripts were recalcitrant to therapeutic intervention illuminating the possibility that hypertension may irreversibly alter some endothelial transcriptional patterns. Conclusions: Hypertension has a profound effect on both function and transcription of endothelial cells, the latter of which was only partially restored with normalization of blood pressure. This study represents one of the first to quantify how endothelial cells are reprogrammed at the molecular level in cardiovascular pathology and advances our understanding of the transcriptional events associated with endothelial dysfunction. Overall design: Endothelium from hypertensive mice were acutely extracted at two different ages (4 weeks and 22 weeks) and compared to endothelium from 22 week old normotensive mice.

View SamplesThe Hematopoietically-expressed homeobox transcription factor (Hhex) is important for the maturation of definitive hematopoietic progenitors and B-cells during development. We have recently shown that in adult hematopoiesis, Hhex is dispensable for maintenance of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) and myeloid lineages but essential for the commitment of Common Lymphoid Progenitors (CLPs) to lymphoid lineages. However, whether Hhex plays a role in HSC self-renewal and myeloid expansion during hematopoietic stress is unknown. Here we show that during serial bone marrow transplantation, Hhex-deleted HSCs are progressively lost, revealing an intrinsic defect in HSC self-renewal. Moreover, Hhex-deleted mice show markedly impaired hematopoietic recovery following myeloablation. In vitro, Hhex-null blast colonies were incapable of replating, implying a specific requirement for Hhex in immature hematopoietic progenitors. Transcriptome analysis of Hhex-null Lin-Sca+Kit+ (LSK) cells showed that Hhex deletion leads to the deregulation of Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2) target genes, including an upregulation of Cdkn2a locus, encoding the cell cycle repressors p16Ink4a and p19Arf. Indeed, loss of Cdkn2a restored Hhex-null blast colony replating in vitro, as well as hematopoietic reconstitution following myeloablation in vivo. Thus, HSCs require Hhex to repress Cdkn2a to enable continued self-renewal and response to hematopoietic stress.
