Description
Purpose: The goals of this study are to use NGS to perform transcriptome profiling (RNA-seq) to find the changes of the global gene expression programs after viral mimic stimulation in Mouse Embryonic Fibroblasts (MEFs) Methods: MEFs were staimulated by 10 ug/ml Poly(dA:dT) or Poly(I:C) using Lipofectamine 2000 (Invitrogen) as transfection regaent in Opti-MEM medium for 6 hours. Mock groups were treated only with transfection regaent. Total RNA was extracted using RNeasy Mini Kit (Qiagen) according to the manufacturer protocol. Total RNA was used for library construction at the Center for Genomics and Systems Biology, New York University Abu Dhabi, using TruSeq RNA Library Prep Kit v2 (Illumina). Deep-sequencing was performed using Illumina HiSEq 2500 sequencing platform (New York University Abu Dhabi Sequencing Center). Data was processed through the standard RNAseq analysis pipeline at NYUAD. Read aligmnet was performed using tophat2 v2.1.0 against Mus musculus GRCm38.p4 genome version. Raw counts of mapped reads of each genes were derived using HTseq count. DESeq2 was used for differential expression analysis. Results: Using an optimized data analysis workflow, we identified genes up-regulated or down-regulated after anti-viral immunity activation. Gene ontology analysis further identified biological processes, cellular components and molecular functions that were overrepresented in the differentially expressed genes. Conclusions: Our study provides a good reourses for profiling genes regulations after viral immunity activation Overall design: mRNA profiles of Wild Type MEFs stimulated by viral mimics to study how global transcriptome changes after innate vrial immunity activation in non-immune cells

Description
Aging is a complex process characterized by a progressive decline in physiological integrity that leads to impaired cellular and tissue function. Adult stem cells play a critical role in organismal health and aging. Their age-related deterioration contributes to a reduced homeostatic and regenerative capacity. Notably, most studies of stem cell aging focus on the mechanisms of replicative aging in stem cells with high cellular turnover. Yet, the therapeutic potential of stem cells with low cellular turnover, such as adipose-derived stem cells (ASC), is increasingly recognized as potentially superior. The mechanism of aging in low turnover stem cells is thought to differ from those with high turnover and to more closely reflect chronological aging. The latter, however, is exceedingly difficult to study in slowly replicating primary human stem cells and thus remains poorly understood. Here, we employ our unique model of chronological aging in primary human ASCs to examine genome-wide transcriptional networks in early chronological aging using RNA-seq analyses. Our findings demonstrate that the transcriptome of aging ASCs is more stable than that of age-matched fibroblasts. Limited transcriptional modifications in aging ASCs reveal more active transcriptional profiles of cell cycle genes and translation initiation genes when compared with aging differentiated cells. Accordingly, nascent protein synthesis, measured by incorporation of op-puromycin, is increased in ASCs from older individuals, concurrent with a decreased phosphorylation at ser-51 of eIF2, a mechanism of inhibiting translation initiation. A shortened G1 phase observed in the old ASCs could be linked to the increased protein synthesis activity, potentially resulting in more active cell proliferation. This effect, however, is not detected in aging fibroblasts. The altered regulation of cell cycle in aging ASCs could allow a more active cell proliferation to meet an increase demand to preserve tissue and organ functions. These observations are consistent with data supporting the maintenance of ASC integrity in aging human adipose tissue and reveal early chronological aging mechanisms in ASCs that are inherently different from other cell types.

Description
Protein synthesis belongs to the most energy consuming processes in the cell. Lowering oxygen tension below normal (hypoxia) causes a rapid inhibition of global mRNA translation due to the decreased availability of energy. Interestingly, subsets of mRNAs pursue active translation under such circumstances. In human fibrosarcoma cells (HT1080) exposed to prolonged hypoxia (36 h, 1% oxygen) we observed that transcripts are either increasingly or decreasingly associated with ribosomes localized at the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). In a global setting it turned out that only 31% of transcripts showing elevated total-RNA levels were also increasingly present at the ER in hypoxia. These genes, regulated by its expression as well as its ER-localization, belong to the gene ontologys hypoxia response, glycolysis and HIF-1 transcription factor network supporting the view of active mRNA translation at the ER during hypoxia. Interestingly, a large group of RNAs was found to be unchanged at the expression level, but translocate to the ER in hypoxia. Among these are transcripts encoding translation factors and >180 ncRNAs. In summary, we provide evidence that protein synthesis is favoured at the ER and, thus, partitioning of the transcriptome between cytoplasmic and ER associated ribosomes mediates adaptation of gene expression in hypoxia.

Description
Pheochromocytomas/paragangliomas are the most heritable of all tumors. However, there are still cases that are not explained by mutations in the known genes. We aimed to identify the genetic cause of disease in a patient strongly suspected of having hereditary tumors. We identified a novel de novo mutation in DNMT3A, affecting a highly conserved residue. Among other results from other techniques, a different global expression profile was observed in the patient carrying the mutated DNMT3A compared to controls (parents) by RNA-seq
