Description
Tetraploidization, or genome doubling, is a prominent event in tumorigenesis, primarily because cell division in polyploid cells is error-prone and produces aneuploid cells. This study investigates changes in gene expression evoked in acute and adapted tetraploid cells and their impact on cell-cycle progression. Acute polyploidy was generated by knockdown of essential regulator of cytokinesis Anillin, which resulted in cytokinesis failure and formation of binucleate cells, or by chemical inhibition of Aurora kinases, causing abnormal mitotic exit with formation of single cells with aberrant nuclear morphology. Transcriptome analysis of these acute tetraploid cells revealed common signatures of activation of the tumor-suppressor protein p53. Suppression of proliferation in these cells was dependent on p53 and its transcriptional target - Cdk inhibitor p21. Rare proliferating tetraploid cells can emerge from acute polyploid populations. Gene expression analysis of single-cell derived, adapted tetraploid clones showed upregulation of several p53 target genes and cyclin D2, the activator of Cdk4/6/2. Overexpression of cyclin D2 in diploid cells strongly potentiated the ability to proliferate with increased DNA content despite the presence of functional p53. These results point out that p53-mediated suppression of proliferation of polyploid cells can be averted by increased levels of oncogenes such as Cyclin D2, elucidating a possible route for tetraploidy-mediated genomic instability in carcinogenesis. Overall design: Three biological replicates of cells treated with siRNA against Anillin or a non-targeting control are FACS sorted into 2N or 4N populations and assessed for gene expression differences via RNA Seq for a total of 12 samples.
Publication Title
Transcriptome analysis of tetraploid cells identifies cyclin D2 as a facilitator of adaptation to genome doubling in the presence of p53.

Description
Objective: The etiology of PCOS is mostly unknown. Existing data support both genetic and environmental factors in its pathogenesis. Design: Prospective case - control study. Setting: University Hospital. Patients: 25 patients undergoing IVF-ICSI treatment. Intervention: Genome-wide oligonucleotide microarray technology was used to study differential gene-expression patterns of cultured human cumulus cells from IVF patients divided into 4 groups according to disease state (PCOS vs. Control) and BMI (Obese vs. Lean). Results: Two differential PCOS gene expression profiles were established: Lean-Type was formed by comparing PCOS lean (PL) vs. non-PCOS lean (NL) individuals; Obese-Type was formed by comparing PCOS obese (PO) vs. non-PCOS (NO) obese patients. Conclusions: Different molecular pathways are associated with PCOS in Lean and Obese individuals, as demonstrated by gene expression profiling of cumulus cells. Our findings provide insights into the molecular pathogenesis of PCOS.

Description
Antiretroviral therapy (ART) has reduced morbidity and mortality in HIV infection; however HIV-1-associated neurocognitive disorders (HAND) persist despite treatment. We used microarray analysis in post-mortem brain tissues to determine ART effectiveness in the brain and to identify molecular signatures of HAND under ART.

Description
Background: The FACEBASE consortium was established in part to create a central resource for craniofacial researchers. One purpose is to provide a molecular anatomy of craniofacial development. To this end we have used a combination of laser capture microdissection and RNA-Seq to define the gene expression programs driving development of the murine palate. Results: We focused on the E14.5 palate, soon after medial fusion of the two palatal shelves. The palate was divided into multiple compartments, including medial and lateral, as well as oral and nasal, for both the anterior and posterior domains. A total of 25 RNA-Seq datasets were generated. The results provide a comprehensive view of the region specific expression of all transcription factors, growth factors and receptors. Paracrine interactions can be inferred from flanking compartment growth factor/receptor expression patterns. The results are validated primarily through very high concordance with extensive previously published gene expression data for the developing palate. In addition selected immunostain validations were carried out. Conclusions: This report provides an RNA-Seq based atlas of gene expression patterns driving palate development at microanatomic resolution. This FACEBASE resource is designed to fuel discovery by the craniofacial research community. Overall design: Laser capture microdissection and RNA-seq were used to generate gene expression profiles of different compartments of the mouse E14.5 developing palate

Description
Single cell RNA-seq is a powerful methodology, but with important limitations. In particular, the process of enzymatic separation of cells at 37O C can be expected to result in artifact changes in gene expression patterns. We here describe a dissociation method that uses protease from a psychrophilic microorganism with high activity in the cold. The entire procedure is carried out at 6O C or colder, where mammalian transcriptional machinery is largely inactive. To test this method we carry out single cell RNA-seq on about 9,000 cells, comparing the results of the cold method with a method using 37O C incubations for multiple times. We show that the cold active protease method results in a great reduction in gene expression artifacts. Overall design: Whole mouse post natal day 1 kidney cells were dissassociated by either a cold active protease or an enzyme cocktail for varying lengths of time. The gene expression profiles of the four groups of cells were determined by drop-seq / RNA-seq.

Description
We characterize the gene expression changes which occur in the mouse glomerular podocyte, mesangial, and endothelial cells between control mice and mutant mice which are missing two copies of Fyn-proto oncogene (Fyn) and one copy of CD2-associated protein (CD2AP) in a mouse model of FSGS. Overall design: The glomeruli are purified by digestion with Collagenase A and sieving, a single cell suspension is generated via enzymatic dissociation; the single cell suspension is then FACS sorted based on GFP-fluorescence (targeting the glomerular endothelial, mesangial, and podocyte cells). Total RNA was purified using a column-based system. RNA was then quantitatively and qualitatively analyzed using an agilent bioanalynzer, cDNA libraries were generated using Nugen Ovation RNA-Seq V2, and the resulting libraries were ran on an Illumina HiSeq 2500. Data was analyzed using Strand NGS version 2.6.
