Although bodyguard (bdg), lacerata (lcr) and fiddlehead (fdh) mutations affect three unrelated genes, they trigger similar effects, i.e. ectopic organ fusion, increase of cuticle permeability. After performing cutin and wax analyses on these Arabidopsis thaliana mutants, which did not coincide with the putative enzyme functions, we hypothesised that these mutations trigger a complex response which may be visible at the transcriptional level.
Dissection of the complex phenotype in cuticular mutants of Arabidopsis reveals a role of SERRATE as a mediator.

View SamplesAutophagy plays important roles in malignant pathogenesis and drug resistance. We used medicinal chemistry approaches to generate a series of novel agents that inhibit autophagic degradation. ROC-325 was selected as a lead compound for further evaluation. Comprehensive in vitro and in vivo studies were conducted to evaluate the selectivity, tolerability, and efficacy of ROC-325 in preclinical models of renal cell carcinoma (RCC). ROC-325 exhibited superior in vitro anticancer effects than the existing autophagy inhibitor hydroxychloroquine in 12 different tumor models with diverse genetic backgrounds. Focused studies of the mechanism of action and efficacy of ROC-325 in RCC cells showed that drug treatment induced hallmark characteristics of autophagy inhibition including accumulation of autophagosomes with undegraded cargo, lysosomal deacidification, p62 stabilization, and disruption of autophagic flux. Subsequent experiments showed that ROC-325 antagonized RCC growth and survival in an ATG5/7-dependent manner, induced apoptosis, and exhibited favorable selectivity. Oral administration of ROC-325 to mice bearing 786-0 RCC xenografts was well tolerated, significantly more effective at inhibiting tumor progression than HCQ, and inhibited autophagy in vivo.

View SamplesRNAseq characterization of gene expression changes 72 hours after genomic excision of Cebpa in murine hematopoietic progenitors from Cebpaf/f;CreER mice transformed by Hoxa9/Meis1. In the presence of tamoxifen (4OHT), Cre-ER localizes to the nucleus of cells allowing for excision of Cebpa and loss of C/EBPa protein levels. Loss of C/EBPa leads to a decrease in cellular proliferation. Overall design: Examination of gene expression by RNAseq in two conditions in biological replicates.
C/EBPα is an essential collaborator in Hoxa9/Meis1-mediated leukemogenesis.

View SamplesCharacterization of gene expression changes 72 hours after withdrawal of tamoxifen in murine hematopoietic progenitors transformed by Hoxa9-ER/Meis1 using RNAseq. In the presence of tamoxifen (4OHT), Hoxa9-ER localizes to the nucleus of cells allowing for transformation, while withdrawal of 4OHT (culture in EtOH) leads to loss of nuclear Hoxa9-ER. Loss of Hoxa9-ER leads to a decrease in cellular proliferation and differentiation along the myeloid lineage. Overall design: Examination of gene expression by RNAseq in two conditions in biological replicates.

View SamplesSmoking represents a major risk factor for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), but it is difficult to characterize smoke-induced injury responses under physiological breathing conditions in humans. Here we generated small airway-on-a-chip microdevices lined by living human bronchiolar epithelium from normal or COPD patients and connected them to an instrument that 'breathes' whole cigarette smoke in and out of the chips to study smoke-induced pathophysiology in vitro. We used microarrays to detail the global program of gene expression in well-differentiated epithelial cells following smoke exposure to recapitulate clinical pathologies and identify disease-specific responses.
