View SamplesInsulin action in adipocytes affects whole-body insulin sensitivity. Studies of adipose-specific Glut4 knockout mice have established that adipose Glut4 contributes to the control of systemic glucose homeostasis. Presumably, this reflects a role for Glut4-mediated glucose transport in the regulation of secreted adipokines. In cultured 3T3-L1 adipocytes, Rab10 GTPase is required for insulin-stimulated translocation of Glut4 (Sano et al., 2007). The physiological importance of adipose Rab10 and the significance of its role in the control of Glut4 vesicle trafficking in vivo are unknown. Here we report that adipocytes from adipose-specific Rab10 knockout mice have a ~50% reduction in glucose uptake and Glut4 translocation to the cell surface in response to insulin, demonstrating a role for Rab10 in Glut4 trafficking. Moreover, hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp shows decreased whole-body glucose uptake as well as impaired suppression of hepatic glucose production in adipose Rab10 knockout mice. Thus, fully functional Glut4 vesicle trafficking in adipocytes is critical for maintaining insulin sensitivity. Comparative transcriptome analysis of perigonadal adipose tissue demonstrates significant transcriptional similarities between adipose Rab10 knockout mice and adipose Glut4 knockout mice, consistent with the notion that the phenotypic similarities between the two models are mediated by reduced insulin-stimulated glucose transport into adipocytes.

View SamplesPurpose: We tested global gene transcriptome changes by RNA-sequencing analysis in the offspring breast tumors of SV40 transgenic mice to further identify key epigenetic-controlled genes in regulation of the prenatal/maternal BSp diet-mediated early breast cancer prevention. Method: Mouse offspring mammary tumor mRNA from control and maternal BSp treatment were generated by deep sequencing, in duplicate or triplicate, using Illumina NextSeq500 platform (GPL19057). The sequence reads that passed quality filters were analyzed. We utilized the R/Bioconductor package DESeq to evaluate differential gene expression for sequence count data by the use of negative binomial distributio. qRT–PCR validation was performed using TaqMan and SYBR Green assays. Conclusions: Our data showed differential transcriptome distribution in the breast tumors of mouse offspring between the control and prenatal/maternal BSp treatment groups. Overall design: Total RNA obtained from the offspring breast tumors of SV40 transgenic mice with mothers fed either control or BSp diets, and analyzed by Illumina NextSeq500 platform (GPL19057).

View SamplesSeveral recently emerging ChIP-seq (chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by sequencing) based methods perform chemical steps on bead-bound immunoprecipitated chromatin, posing a challenge for generating similarly treated input controls required for bioinformatics and data quality analyses. Here we present a versatile method for producing technique-specific input controls for ChIP-based methods that utilize additional bead-bound processing steps. Application of this method allowed for discovery of a novel CTCF binding motif from ChIP-exo data. Overall design: HeLa cells were transfected with either a scrambled siRNA or one of two CTCF siRNAs (Thermo Fisher Scientific ? Life technologies) using Lipofectamine RNAiMAX (Thermo Fisher Scientific - Life technologies) and incubated for 24 hr.

View SamplesThe emerging correlation between aberrant DNA methylation patterns leading to transcriptional responses that promote and progress many cancers has prompted an interest in discerning the associated regulatory mechanisms. ZBTB33 (also known as Kaiso) is a specialized transcription factor that selectively recognizes mCpG-containing sites as well as a sequence-specific DNA target (termed the KBS) utilizing three Cys2His2 zinc fingers. Increasing reports link ZBTB33 overexpression and transcriptional activities with metastatic potential and poor prognosis, though the specific cellular consequences appear to be dependent on disease phenotype. There is currently little mechanistic insight into how various cellular phenotypes are then able to harness the transcriptional capabilities of ZBTB33 to differentially promote and progress the disease state. Here we have mechanistically interrogated the cell cycle responses mediated by the transcriptional activities of ZBTB33 in two different cell lines. Utilizing a series of ZBTB33 depletion and overexpression studies, we have determined that in HeLa cells ZBTB33 directly occupies the promoter regions of cyclin D1 and cyclin E1 in a KBS and methyl-specific manner, respectively, inducing increased proliferation by promoting RB1 hyper-phosphorylation, allowing for E2F transcriptional activity that coordinates an accelerated G1- to S-phase transition. Conversely, in HEK293 cells ZBTB33 indirectly regulates Cyclin E abundance resulting in reduced RB1 phosphorylation, decreased E2F activity and a decelerated transition through G1-phase. Thus, we have identified a novel mechanism by which ZBTB33 directly mediates the highly coordinated cyclin D1/cyclin E1/RB1/E2F signaling pathway controlling the passage through the G1-phase restriction point and accelerating cellular proliferation in a cancer cell line. Overall design: Determination of cellular and transcriptional consequences for ZBTB33 depletion in HeLa cells.

View SamplesOvarian carcinoma has the highest mortality rate among gynecological malignancies. In this project, we investigated the hypothesis that molecular markers are able to predict outcome of ovarian cancer independently of classical clinical predictors, and that these molecular markers can be validated using independent data sets. We applied a semi-supervised method for prediction of patient survival. Microarrays from a cohort of 80 ovarian carcinomas (TOC cohort) were used for the development of a predictive model, which was then evaluated in an entirely independent cohort of 118 carcinomas (Duke cohort). A 300 gene ovarian prognostic index (OPI) was generated and validated in a leave-one-out approach in the TOC cohort (Kaplan-Meier analysis, p=0.0087). In a second validation step the prognostic power of the OPI was confirmed in an independent data set (Duke cohort, p=0.0063). In multivariate analysis, the OPI was independent of the postoperative residual tumour, the main clinico-pathological prognostic parameter with an adjusted hazard ratio of 6.4 (TOC cohort, CI 1.8 23.5, p=0.0049) and 1.9 (Duke cohort, CI 1.2 3.0, p=0.0068). We constructed a combined score of molecular data (OPI) and clinical parameters (residual tumour), which was able to define patient groups with highly significant differences in survival. The integrated analysis of gene expression data as well as residual tumour can be used for optimised assessment of prognosis. As traditional treatment options are limited, this analysis may be able to optimise clinical management and to identify those patients that would be candidates for new therapeutic strategies.
