Histone deacetylase 1 (HDAC1) is an enzyme that promotes deacetylation of acetylated lysine residues in histones and other proteins. Histone acetylation is often associated with gene activation and expression. Los of HDAC1 leads to severe problems in development and proliferation. Moreover, it seems to be the major histone deacetylase in mouse embryonic stem cells.

View SamplesTGF-beta1 is the major cytokine driver of fibrotic scarring observed in diabetic nephropathy and other fibrosis-related diseases. RNA-sequencing offers the potential for more sensitive assessment of the TGF-ß1-driven transcriptome. Overall design: There were two treatment groups: vehicle, 48 hr TGFb1. Each treatment was carried out in triplicate. Upon quality control assessment, one TGFß1 treated sample was excluded from further analyses, leaving 3 unstimulated and 2 TGFß1 samples.

View SamplesThe cascade of molecular events involved in mammalian sex determination has been shown to involve the SRY gene, but specific downstream events have eluded researchers for decades. The current study identifies one of the first direct downstream targets of the male sex-determining factor SRY as the basic-helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factor TCF21. SRY was found to directly associate with the Tcf21 promoter SRY/SOX9 response element both in vitro and in vivo during male sex determination. TCF21 was found to promote an in vitro sex reversal of embryonic ovarian cells to promote precursor Sertoli cell differentiation. Therefore, SRY acts directly on the Tcf21 promoter to, in part, initiate a cascade of events associated with Sertoli cell differentiation and embryonic testis development.

View SamplesRetinal damage causes proliferation of Muller glia, but the degree of proliferation depends on mouse strains. Muller glial proliferation was significantly promoted by the addition of GSK3 inhibitor in 129, but not in B6. We used retinal explant culture as a model for retinal damage which caused preferential photoreceptor death in a few days.
Proliferation potential of Müller glia after retinal damage varies between mouse strains.

View SamplesCoordinated interactions between ovarian granulosa and theca cells are required for female endocrine function and fertility. To elucidate these interactions the regulation of the granulosa and theca cell transcriptomes during bovine antral follicle development were investigated. Granulosa cells and theca cells were isolated from small (<5 mm), medium (5-10 mm), and large (>10 mm) antral bovine follicles. A microarray analysis of 24,000 bovine genes revealed that granulosa cells and theca cells each had gene sets specific to small, medium and large follicle cells. Transcripts regulated (i.e., minimally changed 1.5-fold) during antral follicle development for the granulosa cells involved 446 genes and for theca cells 248 genes. Only 28 regulated genes were common to both granulosa and theca cells. Regulated genes were functionally categorized with a focus on growth factors and cytokines expressed and regulated by the two cell types. Candidate regulatory growth factor proteins mediating both paracrine and autocrine cell-cell interactions include macrophage inflammatory protein (MIP1 beta), teratocarcinoma-derived growth factor 1 (TDGF1), stromal derived growth factor 1 (SDF1; i.e., CXCL12), growth differentiation factor 8 (GDF8), glia maturation factor gamma (GMFG), osteopontin (SPP1), angiopoietin 4 (ANGPT4), and chemokine ligands (CCL 2, 3, 5, and 8). The current study examined granulosa cell and theca cell regulated genes associated with bovine antral follicle development and identified candidate growth factors potentially involved in the regulation of cell-cell interactions required for ovarian function.

View SamplesPolycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2-EZH2) methylates histone H3 at lysine 27 (H3K27) and is required to maintain gene repression during development. Misregulation of PRC2 is linked to a range of neoplastic malignancies, which is believed to involve methylation of H3K27. However, the full spectrum of non-histone substrates of PRC2 that might also contribute to PRC2 function is not known. We characterized the target recognition specificity of PRC2 and used the resultant data to screen for novel potential targets. The RNA polymerase II (Pol II) transcription factor, Elongin A (EloA), is methylated by PRC2 in vivo. Mutation of the methylated EloA residue decreased repression of many, but not all, PRC2 target genes as measured by both steady state and nascent RNA levels. We propose that PRC2 regulates transcription of a subset of target genes in part via methylation of EloA. Overall design: We examined the transcripitonal profile of EEDnull, EloAnull, EloA mutant, and parental mouse embryonic stem cells by RNAseq. Please note that the .bw processed data file was generated from the *mESC replicate samples together and linked to the corresponding *rep1 sample records.
