A new site of methylation was identified on histone H3 K42 in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Mutations were engineered at this site to mimic either a constitutively modified state, K42L, or a constitutively unmodified state, K42Q in addition to an alanine substitution. K42A. The effects of these mutations on global transcription was monitored in yeast cells whose sole source of histone H3 was from a plasmid expressing these mutant proteins, and compared to that of an isogenic strain expressing the wild-type histone H3 protein from the same plasmid.

View SamplesRATIONALE: Human rhinovirus infections cause colds and trigger exacerbations of lower airway diseases. OBJECTIVES: To define changes in gene expression profiles during in vivo rhinovirus infections. METHODS: Nasal epithelial scrapings were obtained before and during experimental rhinovirus infection, and gene expression was evaluated by microarray. Naturally acquired rhinovirus infections, cultured human epithelial cells, and short interfering RNA knockdown were used to further evaluate the role of viperin in rhinovirus infections. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: Symptom scores and viral titers were measured in subjects inoculated with rhinovirus or sham control, and changes in gene expression were assessed 8 and 48 hours after inoculation. Real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction for viperin and rhinoviruses was used in naturally acquired infections, and viperin mRNA levels and viral titers were measured in cultured cells. Rhinovirus-induced changes in gene expression were not observed 8 hours after viral infection, but 11,887 gene transcripts were significantly altered in scrapings obtained 2 days postinoculation. Major groups of up-regulated genes included chemokines, signaling molecules, interferon-responsive genes, and antivirals. Viperin expression was further examined and also was increased in naturally acquired rhinovirus infections, as well as in cultured human epithelial cells infected with intact, but not replication-deficient, rhinovirus. Knockdown of viperin with short interfering RNA increased rhinovirus replication in infected epithelial cells. CONCLUSIONS: Rhinovirus infection significantly alters the expression of many genes associated with the immune response, including chemokines and antivirals. The data obtained provide insights into the host response to rhinovirus infection and identify potential novel targets for further evaluation.

View SamplesFibroadenomas are the most common benign breast tumors in women under 30. Unlike their malignant counterparts, relatively molecular profiling has been done on fibroadenomas. Here we performed gene expression profiling on ten fibroadenomas in order to better characterize these tumors. Through targeted amplicon sequencing, we have found that six of these tumors have MED12 mutations. We show that the MED12 mutations, among others, are associated with activated estrogen signaling, as well as increased invasiveness through upregulation of ECM remodelling genes.

View SamplesTo investigate the response of Arabidopsis thaliana plants to non-freezing, cool temperatures, we subjected four week old plants to various chilling temperatures at defined times during the diurnal cycle to control for diurnal effects on transcription. From the same plants, metabolites and enzyme activities were measured as well. Interestingly a gradual change could be observed over a wide range of temperatures. Some of which could be attributed to the CBF program.

View SamplesType II Enteropathy-associated T-cell lymphoma (Type II EATL) is an aggressive intestinal T-cell lymphoma with poor prognosis and has not been molecularly profiled. Through targeted amplicon sequencing, we identified a large portion of Type II EATL samples that harbor mutations in the STAT5B, JAK3 and GNAI2 genes. Here we performed gene expression profiling on four Type II EATL samples in order to better characterize this disease. As Type II EATL is suggested to arise from CD8+ IELs, we integrated our data with publicly available profile of CD8 and CD8 T-cells from healthy donors (GSE33374). Gene expression profiling independently demonstrated strong enrichment of several aspects of GPCR and JAK-STAT signaling pathways. Moreover, an significant association was identified with genes containing STAT5B binding sites in their promoters.
