Trichostatin A enhances vascular repair by injected human endothelial progenitors through increasing the expression of TAL1-dependent genes.
Treatment
View SamplesEndothelial colony-forming cells (ECFCs) have been reported as promising cells for regenerative medicine thanks to their angiorepair properties. Transcription factors are primary determinants of the functional capacity of the cells and TAL1 has been shown as a critical regulator of endothelial lineage in both development and adult life. However, only few (three) TAL1 targets have been identified so far in mouse and human endothelial cells. This microarray experiment, where TAL1 expression was knocked-down, was designed to identify TAL1-dependent genes in primary human endothelial stem/progenitor cells.

View SamplesUnderstanding how differentiation, microenvironment, and hormonal milieu influence human breast cell susceptibility to malignant transformation will require the use of physiologically relevant in vitro systems. We developed a 3D culture model that enables the propagation of normal estrogen receptor alpha (ER)+ cells. The purpose of this experiment was to assess ER functionality and compare estrogen-induced transcripts among samples and systems. Overall design: RNA-seq was performed on RNA prepared from replicate 3D cultures from 3 normal 3D breast culture specimens exposed to 10nM estradiol or vehicle alone for 6 or 24 hours.

View SamplesWe used two RNA-Seq methods to measure the the global transcription levels in mouse liver cells. The data here provide insight into the pros and cons of whole transcript method and 3' RNA-Seq method. Overall design: KAPA (whole transcript method) and Lexogen (3' RNA-Seq method) were used to compare global expression in 6 mice of two conditions: 1) 3 normal diet mice 2) 3 iron-loaded diet mice.

View SamplesIron overload causes the generation of reactive oxygen species, which can lead to lasting damage to the liver and other organs. We studied the effects of iron deficiency and iron overload on the hepatic transcriptional and metabolomic profile in mouse models. Overall design: We studied effect of different iron overloads (High, medium and Low) on liver transcriptome using whole genome transcriptome profiling.
Nicotinamide N-methyltransferase expression decreases in iron overload, exacerbating toxicity in mouse hepatocytes.

View SamplesAberrations in genes coding for subunits of the BAF chromatin remodeling complex are highly abundant in human cancers. Currently, it is not understood how these loss-of-function mutations contribute to cancer development and how they can be targeted therapeutically. The cancer type specific occurrence patterns of certain subunit mutations suggest subunit-specific effects on BAF complex function, possibly by the formation of aberrant residual complexes. Here, we systematically characterize the effects of individual subunit loss on complex composition, chromatin accessibility and gene expression in a panel of knock-out cell lines deficient for 22 targetable BAF subunits. We observe strong, specific and often discordant alterations dependent on the targeted subunit and show that these explain intra-complex co-dependencies, including the novel synthetic lethal interactions SMARCA4-ARID2, SMARCA4-ACTB and SMARCC1-SMARCC2. These data provide insights into the role of different BAF subcomplexes in genome-wide chromatin organization and suggest novel approaches to therapeutically target BAF mutant cancers. Overall design: RNA-seq samples for knockouts of BAF complex in the HAP1 cell line.

View SamplesYin and yang 1 (YY1) is a well-known zinc-finger transcription factor with crucial roles in normal development and malignancy. YY1 acts both as a repressor and an activator of gene expression. We have identified 23 individuals with de novo mutations or deletions of YY1 and phenotypic features that define a syndrome of cognitive impairment, behavioral alterations, intrauterine growth retardation, feeding problems, and various congenital malformations. Our combined clinical and molecular data define the 'YY1 syndrome' as a haploinsufficiency syndrome. Through immunoprecipitation of YY1-bound chromatin from person-derived cells, using antibodies recognizing both ends of the protein, we show that YY1 deletions and missense mutations lead to a global loss of YY1 binding, with a preferential retention at high-occupancy sites. Finally, we uncover a widespread loss of H3K27 acetylation in particular on the YY1-bound enhancers, underscoring a crucial role for YY1 in enhancer regulation. Collectively, these results define a clinical syndrome caused by haploinsufficiency of YY1 through dysregulation of key transcriptional regulators. Overall design: Individuals with mutations or deletion in YY1 were identified among patients with idiopathic intellectual disability. LCLs were established from 4 of these patients (1 deletion, 2 missense mutations, and 1 non-sense mutation undergoing non-sense-mediated decay) as well as from unrelated controls, and their transcriptome were compared.
