We decribe the accessible chormatin landscape in RAS-induced (RIS) and NOTCH induced senescence (NIS) using ATAC-seq. By expressing active NOTCH (N1ICD) in the context of RIS, we find that N1ICD antagonises the formation of accessible regions in RIS. By performing co-cultures, we demonstrate that cells expressing a NOTCH1 ligand, JAGGED1, can antagonise the formation of RIS specific accessible regions. Overall design: mRNA profiles were IMR90 cells expressing ER:HRAS(G12V) and a control vector or MSCV miR30 shHMGA1 were generated. 6 biological replicates.

View SamplesER:RAS-G12V expressing IMR90 cells were transduced with N1ICD-containing or control vectors before treatment with either 100nM 4-OHT or vehicle for 6 days leading to Notch-induced senescence (NIS), RAS-induced senescence (RIS) or combined Notch and Ras-induced senescence (RNIS). Overall design: IMR90 cells expressing a 4-hydroxytamoxifen (4-OHT) inducible estrogen receptor (ER)-coupled RAS-G12V (ER:RAS-G12V) were transduced with N1ICD-FLAG-containing (residues 1758-2556 of human NOTCH1, as per Capobianco et al, Mol Cell Biol, 1997) or control vector before treatment with either 100nM 4-OHT or vehicle for 6 days , leading to RAS-induced senescence (RIS), NOTCH-induced senescence (NIS) or combined Ras & NOTCH-induced senescence (RNIS). The total RNA was then analysed for transcriptional profiling using mRNA-sequencing. There were 6 (six) biological replicates for each experimental condition. Untreated, vector-transduced ER:RAS IMR90 cells were the control condition

View SamplesThe pathways involved in hierarchical differentiation of human embryonic stem cells (hESC) into abundant and durable endothelial cells (EC) are unknown. We employed an EC-specific VE-cadherin promoter driving GFP (hVPr-GFP) to screen for factors that augmented yields of vascular-committed ECs from hESCs. In phase 1 of our approach, inhibition of TGFb, precisely at day 7 of hESC differentiation, enhanced emergence of hVPr-GFP+ ECs by 10-fold. In the second phase, TGFb-inhibition preserved proliferation and vascular identity of purified ECs, resulting in net 36-fold expansion of homogenous EC-monolayers, and allowing transcriptional profiling that revealed a unique angiogenic signature defined by the VEGFR2highId1highVE-cadherin+EphrinB2+CD133+HoxA9- phenotype. Using an Id1-YFP hESC reporter line, we showed that TGFb-inhibition sustained Id1 expression in hESC-derived ECs, which was required for increased proliferation and preservation of EC commitment. These data provide a multiphasic method for serum-free differentiation and long-term maintenance of authentic hESC-derived ECs, establishing clinical-scale generation of transplantable human ECs.
Expansion and maintenance of human embryonic stem cell-derived endothelial cells by TGFbeta inhibition is Id1 dependent.

In an attempt to discover additional sleep related genes in Drosophila, we carried out a microarray analysis comparing mRNA expression in heads of fmn and control flies and found differentially expressed genes.

View SamplesIt has been difficult to elucidate the structure of gene regulatory networks under anticancer drug treatment. Here, we developed an algorithm to highlight the hub genes that play a major role in creating the upstream and downstream relationships within a given set of differentially expressed genes. The directionality of the relationships between genes was defined using information from comprehensive collections of transcriptome profiles after gene knockdown and overexpression. As expected, among the drug-perturbed genes, our algorithm tended to derive plausible hub genes, such as transcription factors. Our validation experiments successfully showed the anticipated activity of certain hub gene in establishing the gene regulatory network that was associated with cell growth inhibition. Notably, giving such top priority to the hub gene was not achieved by ranking fold change in expression and by the conventional gene set enrichment analysis of drug-induced transcriptome data. Thus, our data-driven approach can facilitate to understand drug-induced gene regulatory networks for finding potential functional genes.
