We generated genome-wide RNASeq data from freshly isolated airway epithelial cells of asthmatics and non-asthmatics. This data was paired with genome-wide genetic and methylation data from the same individuals allowing for an integrated analysis of genetic, transcriptional, and epigenetic signatures in asthma. Overall design: examination of genome-wide genome-wide gene expression levels and comparison to phenotypes

Description
During embryogenesis, enhancer-promoter interactions control gene transcriptional activation. These interactions can be tissue-specific or tissue-invariant and occur mostly within larger insulated regulatory domains called Topologically Associating Domains (TADs). Boundary elements, which delineate the extent of TADs, frequently interact with each other and have been associated with constitutive transcription and CTCF/Cohesin binding. In this work, we set out to investigate the regulatory role of a tissue-invariant, preformed interaction between two boundaries that involve the Shh gene and its unique limb enhancer, the ZRS, located one megabase away. Using CRISPR/Cas9 we specifically perturb CTCF binding sites or constitutive transcription at the ZRS-containing boundary, without altering the enhancer sequence. Using capture-HiC (cHiC) we show that both types of perturbation result in altered preformed chromatin interactions and lead to a reduction of Shh expression in developing limb buds. Finally, we demonstrate that the disruption of the chromatin structure in combination with a hypomorphic ZRS allele results in a dramatic Shh loss- of- function and digit agenesis. We thus propose that preformed chromatin structures can ensure stable enhancer promoter communication during development and robustness of gene transcriptional activation. Overall design: We performed transcriptome analysis to confirm the complete loss of the Lmbr1 transcript due to the deletion of its promoter and to detect other potential non-coding transcripts at the locus.

Description
The activity of enhancers and promoters fine-tunes the transcriptional program of mammalian cells through the recruitment and interplay between cell type-specific and ubiquitous transcription factors. Despite their key role in modulating transcription, the identification of enhancers is challenged by their limited sequence conservation and highly variable distance from target genes. Although enhancers are characterised by the strong enrichment of mono-methylation at lysine 4 of histone H3, mirrored by low tri-methylation at the same residue, a comprehensive list of enhancers-associated histone post-translational modifications (PTMs) is still lacking. We undertook a proteomics investigation, based on chromatin immunoprecipitation combined with mass spectrometry (MS), to identify histone marks specifically associated to cis-regulatory elements in macrophages, focusing on enhancers. We also profiled their plasticity during the transcriptional activation induced by an inflammatory stimulus. The proteomic analysis suggested novel PTM associations, which were validated by analysis of ChIP- and RNA-seq data, whose intersection revealed the existence of novel sub-populations of enhancers marked by specific signatures: the dual mark H3K4me1/K36me2 labels transcription at enhancers, whereas H3K4me1/K36me3 and H3K4me1/K79me2 tag distinct intronic enhancers. While demonstrating that analyzing restricted genomic regions can disclose the combinatorial language of histone modifications, this study highlights the potential of MS-based proteomics in addressing fundamental questions in epigenetics. Overall design: Total RNA was extracted from 5x10^6 untreated RAW 264.7 cells using RNAeasy kit (Qiagen). Libraries were then prepared using TruSeq RNA sample preparation Kit (Illumina) after depleting ribosomal RNA

Description
The main goal of our study is to identify the molecular events that determine the gonadal identity in mammals. Although testis and ovary arise from a common embryonic primordium, they represent outcomes of opposing fate determination. This decision to differentiate into a testis or an ovary hinges upon the balance between two antagonizing factors, pro-testis SOX9 and pro-ovary -catenin.

Description
The Human T-cell Leukemia Virus (HTLV)-type-I non-structural protein p30 plays an important role in virus transmission and gene regulation. p30 has been documented to inhibit the export of certain viral mRNA transcripts from the nucleus to the cytoplasm. This nuclear retainment of RNA molecules essentially results in gene silencing, where protein products are not produced.

Description
The response of human neutrophils to the emerging pathogen Mycobacterium abscessus has not been described. However, M. abscessus infections are frequently associated with neutrophil-rich abscesses. To better understand the reponse of neutrophils to M. abscessus we performed gene expression analysis using Affymetrix HG-U133A Plus 2.0 microarrays. Human neutrophils from healthy donors were stimulated with isogenic rough and smooth morphotypes of M. abscessus. Staphylococcus aureus was used as a control. Gene expression was compared to neutrophils left unstimulated. Neutrophils from four individual donors were isolated on separate days and stimulated with freshly prepared bacteria. Neutrophils (stimulated and control) were left for 2 hours before total RNA was isolated, and biotinylated cRNA was prepared by standard methods. Analysis indicates that M. abscessus morphotypes induce a limited number of genes, when compared to S. aureus, which are enriched in genes for cytokines and chemokines, including neutrophil-specific chemokines. These data suggest that neutrophils have a limited response to M. abscessus, which may contribute to neutrophil-rich abscess formation.overall_design = Human neutrophils from healthy donors were exposed to rough Mab (ATCC 19977T), smooth Mab (ATCC 19977T) and S. aureus (CF clinical strain) for two hours; control cells were exposed to saline.
