View SamplesIn order to examine the gene expression in the course of mosquito embryogenesis, microarray assays were performed on staged A. gambiae embryos, from fertilization to 52 hours of development (which is close to hatching at ~50 hours post-fertilization). RNA was extracted from staged embryos roughly every three hours after fertilization, and then hybridized to the A. gambiae transcriptome microarray.

View SamplesWhole-genome transcriptome assays were performed with isolated serosa from A. gambiae embryos. These assays identified a large number of genes implicated in the production of the larval cuticle. In D. melanogaster, these genes are activated just once during embryogenesis, during late stages where they are used for the production of the larval cuticle. Evidence is presented that the serosal cells secrete a dedicated serosal cuticle, which protects A. gambiae embryos from desiccation.

View SamplesGene expression profiling was carried out in six (wild type, ß2SP+/-, ß2SP-/-, SMAD3+/-, SMAD3-/- and ß2SP+/-/ SMAD3+/-) different mouse knockout embryonic fibroblast (MEF) cells. Beta-2-spectrin (ß2SP) is a dynamic intracellular non-pleckstrin homology (PH)-domain protein that belongs to a family of polypeptides that have been implicated in conferring cell polarity. Spectrins have been linked to multiple signaling pathways, including cell cycle regulation, DNA repair and TGFß signaling. In this study, we report a major role of the TGFß/Smad3 adaptor ß2-Spectrin in conserving genomic integrity from alcohol-induced DNA damage and describe a novel pathway that protects genomes from genotoxic stresses. To determine the mechanism for the oncogenic switch, and whether it is related to the role of ß2SP in TGF-ß signaling transduction or secondary to its cytoskeletal functions, we analyzed disruption of two elements of the TGF-ß pathway by generating double heterozygous Sptbn1+/-/Smad3+/- mice. Overall design: Whole-transcriptome RNA sequencing MEF cells of the following genotypes was carried out on an Illumina HiSeq 2000 sequencer: wildtype, heterozygous Beta-2-spectrin knockout (ß2SP+/-), homozygous Beta-2-spectrin knockout (ß2SP-/-), heterozygous SMAD3 (Mothers against decapentaplegic, Drosophila, Homolog of 3, SMAD3+/-), homozygous knockout SMAD3-/-, and double heterozygous mutation of Beta-2-spectrin and SMAD3 (ß2SP+/-/ SMAD3+/-).

View SamplesGene expression profiling was carried out in one normal human fibroblast cell line established from normal people and three different cell lines established from BWS patients to characterize the molecular mechanisms relevant to the etiology of BWS and tumor development. Whole-transcriptome sequencing of three BWS fibroblastic cell lines was established from patients with mutation in the CDKN1C mutation (CDKN1C+ cell line), and loss of methylation in the KCNQ1OT1 region (KvDMR+ cell line: with KvDMR molecular defect, and KvDMR- cell line: absence of KvDMR molecular defect but it had some clinical signs of BWS) Overall design: Whole-transcriptome RNA sequencing of the 4 different cell lines

View SamplesGene expression profiling was carried out in wild and ß2SP-/- (Sptbn1 -/-) mouse embryonic fibroblast (MEF) cells. Beta-2-spectrin (ß2SP) is a dynamic intracellular non-pleckstrin homology (PH)-domain protein that belongs to a family of polypeptides that have been implicated in conferring cell polarity. Spectrins have been linked to multiple signaling pathways, including cell cycle regulation, DNA repair and TGFß signaling. In this study, we report a major role of the TGFß/Smad3 adaptor ß2-Spectrin in conserving genomic integrity from alcohol-induced DNA damage and describe a novel pathway that protects genomes from genotoxic stresses. Overall design: Whole-transcriptome RNA sequencing of wild-type and ß2SP knockout (ß2SP-/-) mouse embryonic fibroblasts was carried out on an Illumina HiSeq 2000 sequencer. The raw data quality was assessed using a FastQC software. Adaptor presence was tested using Trimmomatic. The readings were then aligned to the NCBI mouse reference genome build 37.2 using the splice-aware aligner Tophat2 v2.0.10. Transcript quantification, normalization and assembly were carried out with Cufflinks. A gene model gtf file corresponding to the NCBI mouse reference genome build 37.2 was used in the quantification. Cuffdiff2, part of the Cufflinks suite of tools, was used to identify significant differences in gene expression profiles between the wild-type and ß2SP-/- MEF cells.

View SamplesA prevalent hypothesis for the cell-to-cell coordination of the phenomena of early development is that a defined mixture of different mRNA species at specific abundances in each cell determines fate and behavior. With this dataset we explore this hypothesis by quantifying the abundance of every mRNA species in every individual cell of the early C. elegans embryo, for which the exact life history and fate is precisely documented. Overall design: Embryos of the 1-, 2-, 4-, 8- and 16-cell stage were dissected into complete sets of single cells, and each cell from each set was sequenced individually using SMARTer technology. 5-9 replicates were generated for each stage. Most cell identities were unknown upon sequencing, but were deduced from by their transcriptomes post hoc.
