Primary human macrophages with a HIF-1alpha or HIF-2alpha knockdown were pretreated with IL-10 for 16h and afterwards for 4h additionaly under hypoxi (1% O2), RNA was isolated usind the Qiagen RNAeasy Kit and cDNA synthesis wos done using Ambion WT Expression Kit. Expression was compared to si control under control conditions.

View SamplesThe comparison of the cell-specific transcriptomes of bundle sheath (BS) and mesophyll (M) cells from successive developmental stages of maize leafs reveals that the number of genes preferentially transcribed in one cell type or the other varies considerably from the sink-source transition to mature photosynthetic stages. The number of differentially expressed (DE) genes is maximal at a stage well prior to full maturity, including those that encode key functions for C4 photosynthesis. The developmental dynamics of BS/M differential expression can be used to identify candidates for other C4-related functions and to simplify the identification of specific pathways members from otherwise complex gene families. The candidates for C4-related transcription factors identified with this developmental DE strategy overlap with those identified in studies using alternative strategies. Overall design: Nine day old third leaves of maize sections, located at -1 cm, +4 cm and +9 cm (leaf tip), relative to the sink-source transition, were collected. BS and M cells were captured from each section. There are two duplications for each section and each cell types. A total of 12 libraries were constructed for RNA-seq.

View SamplesWork previously published by our group has demonstrated that T cells from patients with chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) show differentially regulated genes compared with healthy T cells. This study was initiated to examine if these gene expression changes were unique to CLL T cells or common to an alternative leukaemia, acute myeloid leukaemia (AML).

View SamplesWe found that the cancer testis antigen, ZNF165, is required for viability and can modulate TGF-induced gene expression in mesenchymal, Claudin-Low, TNBC. We employed the Affymetrix microarray platform to uncover transcriptionally modulated genes following ZNF165 depletion and TGF stimulation using the Claudin-low TNBC tumor-derived cell lines, SUM159 as a model. Our results provide insight into how ZNF165 globally modulates TGF signaling.

View SamplesHematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), which reside in bone marrow niches, are exposed to low levels of oxygen and follow an oxygen gradient throughout their differentiation. Hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs) are the main factors regulating the cell response to oxygen variation. Recent studies using conditional knockout mouse models have unveiled a major role of HIF-1a in the maintenance of murine HSCs, however the role of HIF-2a is still unclear. Here, we show that knockdown of HIF-2a and to a much lower extent, HIF-1a impedes the long-term repopulating ability of human CD34+ umbilical cord blood derived cells. The defects observed in hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell (HSPC) function after HIF-2a knockdown was due to an increase in the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which increases the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress in HSPCs and triggers apoptosis by the activation of the unfolded-protein-response (UPR) pathway. Importantly, HIF-2a deregulation also resulted in a significant decrease of engraftment of human acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cells. Overall, our data demonstrates a key role of HIF-2a in the maintenance of human HSPCs and in the survival of primary AML cells.

View SamplesThe Drosophila midgut is an ideal model system to study molecular mechanisms that interfere with the intestinal stem cells’ (ISCs) ability to function in tissue homeostasis. Due to the lack of a combination of molecular markers suitable to isolate ISCs from aged intestines, it has been a major challenge to study endogenous molecular changes of ISCs during aging. Our FACS-based approach using the esg-GAL4, UAS-GFP fly line allowed the isolation of a cell population enriched for ISCs from young and old midguts by their small size, little granularity and low GFP intensity. The isolated ISCs were subsequently used for RNA sequencing to identify endogenous changes in the transcriptome of young versus old ISCs. Overall design: Cell populations enriched for ISCs isolated from young (6-8 days old) and old (59-65 days old) midguts were sorted. Cells from three different batches of young and old midguts were subjected to Next Generation Sequencing using Illumina Genome Analyzer IIx.
