The development of high-throughput genomic technologies has revealed that a large fraction of the genomes of eukaryotes is associated with the expression of noncoding RNAs. One class of noncoding RNA, the cis-natural antisense transcripts (cis-NATs), are particularly interesting as they are at least partially complementary to the protein-coding mRNAs. Although most studies described cis-NATs involved in the regulation of transcription, a few reports have shown recently that cis-NATs can also regulate translation of the cognate sense coding genes in plants and mammals. In order to identify novel examples of translation regulator cis-NATs in Arabidopsis thaliana, we designed a high-throughput experiment based on polysome profiling and RNA-sequencing. Expression of cis-NATs and translation efficiency of the cognate coding mRNAs were measured in roots and shoots in response to various conditions, including phosphate deficiency and treatment with phytohormones. We identified several promising candidates, and validated a few of them experimentally, in Arabidopsis thaliana transgenic lines over-expressing in trans the translation regulator candidate cis-NATs. Overall design: total RNA and polysomal RNA was sequenced from Arabidopsis thaliana whole seedlings grown in high or low pohsphate content, or from roots or shoots from seedlings treated or not with different phytohormones (Ctrl, IAA, ABA,MeJA and ACC). 3 biological replicates were analyzed for each of the 12 experimental conditions.

View SamplesInvestigation of the transcriptome profile of lung dendritic cells (DCs) of two genetically different pig breeds (Pietrain and Duroc) after PRRSV infection in vitro and determination of the temporal changes in transcriptional profiles. Overall design: Pietrain and Duroc lung DCs were isolated and infected in vitro with PRRSV. Total cellular mRNA from non-infected (0 hours) and infected (3, 6, 9, 12 and 24 hours post infection) lung DCs was extracted and 12 lung DCs samples were used for the global transcriptome profile analysis (RNA-Seq).

View SamplesAstrocytes react to brain injury in a heterogeneous manner with only a subset resuming proliferation and acquiring in vitro neural stem cell properties. In order to identify novel regulators of this astrocyte subset, we performed a genome-wide expression analysis of reactive astrocytes isolated 5 days after stab wound injury from the adult mouse cerebral cortex. The expression pattern was compared with astrocytes from normal cortex and adult neural stem cells isolated from the sub-ependymal zone (GSE18765). These comparisons revealed a set of genes up-regulated both in neurogenic neural stem cells and reactive astrocytes, including the lectins Galectin-1 and -3. These results, as well as the pattern of Galectin expression in the lesioned brain, led us to examine the functional significance of these lectins in brains of Galectin-1/3 double-knockout mice.

View SamplesWe performed RNA sequencing analysis of hepatic gene expression a few hours after amlexanox treatment, and identified over 1700 differentially expressed genes. Pathway analysis of these differentially regulated genes revealed that the top two most enriched pathways were the adipocytokine signaling pathway and the Jak-STAT signaling pathway. Overall design: RNA-seq analysis of hepatic gene expression was used to identify differentially expressed genes in response to Amlexanox treatment.

View SamplesNeuronal migration disorders such as lissencephaly and subcortical band heterotopia (SBH) are associated with epilepsy and intellectual disability. Doublecortin (DCX), LIS1 and alpha1-tubulin (TUBA1A), are mutated in these disorders, however corresponding mouse mutants do not show heterotopic neurons in the neocortex. On the other hand, the spontaneously arisen HeCo mouse mutant displays this phenotype. The study of this model reveals novel mechanisms of heterotopia formation. While, HeCo neurons migrate at the same speed as WT, abnormally distributed dividing progenitors were found throughout the cortical wall from E13. Through genetic studies we identified Eml1 as the mutant gene in HeCo mice. No full length transcripts of Eml1 were identified due to a retrotransposon insertion in an intron. Re-expression of Eml1, coding for a microtubule-associated protein, rescues the HeCo progenitor phenotype. We further show that EML1 is mutated in giant ribbon-like heterotopia in human. Our data link abnormal spindle orientations, ectopic progenitors and severe heterotopia in mouse and human.
Mutations in Eml1 lead to ectopic progenitors and neuronal heterotopia in mouse and human.
