Transcriptional profiling of mouse fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLS) comparing FLS infected with empty adenovirus and Epas1 adenovirus. RNA was extracted from each FLS. We used microarrays to determine the effect of Epas1 overexpression on FLS and identifying the noble regulatory molecules during rheumatoid arthritic pathogenesis
Crosstalk between FLS and chondrocytes is regulated by HIF-2α-mediated cytokines in arthritis.

View SamplesIn this study, similarities between EECs and -cells were evaluated in detail. To obtain specific subtypes of EECs, cell sorting by flow cytometry was conducted from STC-1 cells (a heterogenous EEC line), and each single cell was cultured and passaged. Five EEC subtypes were established according to hormone expression, measured by quantitative RT-PCR and immunostaining: L, K, I, G and S cells expressing glucagon-like peptide-1, glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide, cholecystokinin, gastrin and secretin, respectively.

View SamplesIn response to acute loss of the Ulp2 SUMO-specific protease, yeast become disomic for chromosome I (ChrI) and ChrXII. Here we report that ChrI disomy, which creates an adaptive advantage in part by increasing the dosage of the Ccr4 deadenylase, was eliminated by extended passaging. Loss of aneuploidy is often accompanied by mutations in essential SUMO-ligating enzymes, which reduced polySUMO-conjugate accumulation. The mRNA levels for almost all ribosomal proteins increases transiently upon initial loss of Ulp2, but elevated Ccr4 levels limit excess ribosome formation. Notably, extended passaging leads to increased levels of many small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs) involved in ribosome biogenesis, and higher dosage of three linked ChrXII snoRNA genes suppressed ChrXII disomy in ulp2? cells. Our data reveal that aneuploidy allows rapid adaptation to Ulp2 loss, but long-term adaptation restores euploidy. Cellular evolution restores homeostasis through countervailing mutations in SUMO-modification pathways and regulatory shifts in ribosome biogenesis. Overall design: In these comparisons, the ulp2? cells either carried a WT ULP2 plasmid or empty vector and were passaged for 50 or 500 generations. mRNA profiles of them were generated by sequencing, in triplicate, using Illumina HiSeq 2500 .

Targeted disruption of the polyubiquitin gene Ubb results in male and female infertility in mice with germ cells arrested at meiotic prophase I.

View SamplesTo investigate the relationship between genetic and transcriptional heterogeneity in a context of cancer progression, we devised a computational approach called HoneyBADGER to identify copy number variation and loss-of-heterozygosity in individual cells from single-cell RNA-sequencing data. By combining allele frequency and expression magnitude deviations, HoneyBADGER is able to infer the presence of subclone-specific alterations in individual cells and reconstruct subclonal architecture. Also HoneyBADGER to analyze single cells from a progressive multiple myeloma (MM) patient to identify major genetic subclones that exhibit distinct transcriptional signatures relevant to cancer progression. Overall design: We performed single cell RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) for multiple myeloma from the bone marrow and/or extramedullary sites from 3 patients. Data contain 173 and 1,339 single-cell RNA-seq from Fluidigm C1 and 10x Genomics respectively.

View SamplesDrug-induced alterations in transcriptional regulation play a central role in establishing the persistent neuroplasticities that occur during drug addiction. Additionally, changes in gene expression associated with drug administration provide valuable insight into the molecular basis of drug abuse. The molecular mechanisms that underlie susceptibility to psychostimulant addiction remain unknown. Identifying the common gene transcriptional responses to psychostimulants can provide a mechanistic insight to elucidate the molecular nature of drug dependence.

View SamplesAverage life expectancy for patients with metastatic melanoma is less than 6 months, and only a handful of treatment options are available. If the disease can be stopped before it spreads to other organs, life expectancy is greatly increased. The goal of this project is to identify possible regulators of melanoma metastasis by determining genes whose expression is modulated when the cells are grown in contact with endothelial cells. Identification of genes involved in this cell-cell communication could have therapeutic implications.

View SamplesET-743 (trabectedin, Yondelis) and PM00104 (Zalypsis) are marine derived compounds that have antitumor activity. ET-743 and PM00104 exposure over sustained periods of treatment will result in the development of drug resistance, but the mechanisms which lead to resistance are not yet understood. Human chondrosarcoma cell lines resistant to ET-743 (CS-1/ER) or PM00104 (CS-1/PR) were established in this study. The CS-1/ER and CS-1/PR exhibited cross resistance to cisplatin and methotrexate but not to doxorubicin. Human Affymetrix Gene Chip arrays were used to examine relative gene expression in these cell lines.
