ABSTRACT: The human growth hormone (hGH) minigene is frequently used in the derivation of transgenic mouse lines to enhance transgene expression. Although this minigene is present in the transgenes as a secondcistron, and thus not thought to be expressed, we found that three commonly used lines, Pdx1-CreLate, RIP-Cre, and MIP-GFP, each expressed significant amounts of hGH in pancreatic islets. Locally secreted hGH binds to prolactin receptors on cells, activates STAT5 signaling, and induces pregnancy-like changes in gene expression, thereby augmenting pancreatic cell mass and insulin content. In addition, islets of Pdx1-CreLate mice have lower GLUT2 expression and reduced glucose-induced insulin release and are protected against the cell toxin streptozotocin. These findings may be important when interpreting results obtained when these and other hGH minigene-containing transgenic mice are used.

View SamplesThis experiment is to examine the effect of PARP inhibitor and Myc shRNA knockdown on transcriptome profiles in MYC-amplified human GBM stem cells MGG4. Overall design: There are totally 4 samples. GBM cell MGG4 expressing scramble shRNA or shRNA targeting Myc were grown in doxycycline (Dox, 1 mg/ml) for 6 days, treated with olaparib (Ola, 10 microM) or DMSO for 24h, and harvested for RNA extraction, followed by RNA sequencing
Myc targeted CDK18 promotes ATR and homologous recombination to mediate PARP inhibitor resistance in glioblastoma.

View SamplesPurpose: To determine effects of arsenic on gene expression in polarized primary human bronchial epithelial (HBE) cells and impact on transcriptional response to Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection Methods: mRNA profiles of HBE cells from 6 donors exposed to 0, 5, 10 or 50 ug/L total arsenic +/- Pseudomonas aeruginosa (48 samples) were generated using Illumina sequencing, aligned in CLC Genomics workbench and analyzed for DE in EdgeR Findings: 20-30 million reads were mapped per sample and transcripts were identifed that were significantly differentially expressed in response to arsenic and Pseudomonas aeruginosa Overall design: Gene expression profiles of HBE cells from 6 donors exposed to three concentrations of arsenic +/- Pseudomonas were generated using mRNA sequencing
Arsenic alters transcriptional responses to Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection and decreases antimicrobial defense of human airway epithelial cells.
