View SamplesThe biological features of ovarian cancer stem cells (OCSC) remain elusive, mainly because 1) most studies so far have focused on cell lines that recapitulate the human disease only to a limited extend; and 2) because the identification of OCSC has relied on markers inferred from different and unrelated tumor types. Our study has harnessed the intrinsic, stemness-related properties of OCSC to identify and isolate this cell subpopulation from primary cultures freshly established from high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC), the most common and aggressive from of the disease. In addition, OCSC were compared to stem cell-enriched cultures from fallopian tube epithelium, which is the most accredited tissue of origin for HGSOC. The transcriptomes of the two cell types were compared to infer genes differentially regulated in OCSC.

View SamplesGermline mutations of the SMARCB1 gene predispose to two distinct tumor syndromes: rhabdoid tumor predisposition syndrome, with malignant pediatric tumors mostly developing in brain and kidney, and familial schwannomatosis, with adulthood benign tumors involving cranial and peripheral nerves. The mechanisms by which SMARCB1 germline mutations predispose to rhabdoid tumors versus schwannomas are still unknown. Here, to understand the origin of these two types of SMARCB1-associated tumors, we generated different tissue- and developmental stage-specific conditional knockout mice carrying Smarcb1 and/or Nf2 deletion. Smarcb1 loss in early neural crest was necessary to initiate tumorigenesis in the cranial nerves and meninges with typical histological features and molecular profiles of human rhabdoid tumors. By inducing Smarcb1 loss at later developmental stage in the Schwann cell lineage, in addition to biallelic Nf2 gene inactivation, we generated the first mouse model developing schwannomas with the same underlying gene mutations found in schwannomatosis patients. Overall design: RNA-sequencing of 12 Smarcb1-deficient mouse cranial nerves and meninges tumors
Timing of Smarcb1 and Nf2 inactivation determines schwannoma versus rhabdoid tumor development.

View SamplesSummary: Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a damage to the spinal cord induced by trauma or desease resulting in a loss of mobility or feeling. SCI is characterized by a primary mechanical injury followed by a secondary injury in which several molecular events are altered in the spinal cord often resulting in loss of neuronal function.
Gene profiling in spinal cord injury shows role of cell cycle in neuronal death.

View SamplesAQM shows acute muscle wasting and weakness. Key aspects of AQM include muscle atrophy and myofilament loss. Gene expression profiling, using muscle biopsies from AQM, neurogenic atrophy and normal controls, showed that both myogenic and neurogenic atrophy share induction of myofiber-specific ubiquitin/proteosome pathways while only the AQM shows a specific strong induction of transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta/MAPK pathways.

View SamplesThe three-dimensional (3D) organization of chromosomes can influence transcription. However, the frequency and magnitude of these effects is still controversial. To determine how changes in chromosome positioning affect transcription we characterized nuclear organization and global gene expression after large-scale chromosomal rearrangements in budding yeast. We used computational modelling and single cell imaging to determine chromosome position and integrated these data with genome-wide transcriptional profiles from RNA sequencing. Chromosome displacement relative to the nuclear periphery has mild but widespread and significant effects on transcription. Our study suggests that basal transcriptional activity is sensitive to radial changes on chromosomal position, and provides support for the functional relevance of budding yeast chromosome-level 3D organization in gene expression. Overall design: We analysed 42 samples in total: wildtype (409) strain (4 replicas), mutant strain 524 (4 replicas), mutant strain 527 (4 replicas), mutant strain 1138 (4 replicas), mutant strain 1228 (4 replicas), mutant strain 1379 (4 replicas), mutant strain 1387 (4 replicas), mutant strain 1380 (4 replicas), mutant strain 1388 (4 replicas), mutant strain 1788 (3 replicas), mutant strain 1793 (3 replicas)
