View SamplesTo understand the role of MiT in Drosophila, we set out to identify critical gene targets by looking at changes in the WT transcriptome induced by either gain or loss of MiT function. Mutant hindgut and malpighian tubules provided loss-of function tissue and nub-Gal4-driven expression of MiT in the wing epithelium was used for gain-of-function. In the wing disc experiment, 543 genes were upregulated by exogenous MiT, and 359 genes were downregulated (>1.4 fold; P value < 0.01). In the larval HG+MT, 897 genes were downregulated and 898 were upregulated (>1.4 fold; P value < 0.01) after MiT. Among these genes, 85 were both upregulated in wing discs and downregulated in mutant HG+MT, and are the common genes that regulated by MiT in both tissues.

View SamplesNumerous microRNAs and their target mRNAs are co-expressed across diverse cell types. However, it is unknown whether they are regulated in a cellular context-independent or -dependent manner. Here, we explored transcriptome-wide targeting and gene regulation by miR-155, whose activation-induced expression plays important roles in innate and adaptive immunity. Through mapping of miR-155 targets using differential Argonaute iCLIP, mRNA quantification with RNA-Seq, and 3'UTR usage analysis using polyadenylation (polyA)-Seq in activated miR-155-sufficient and deficient macrophages, dendritic cells, T and B lymphocytes, we identified numerous targets differentially bound by miR-155. While alternative cleavage and polyadenylation (ApA) contributed to differential miR-155 binding to some transcripts, in a majority of cases identical 3'UTR isoforms were differentially regulated across cell types, suggesting ApA-independent and cellular context-dependent miR-155-mediated gene regulation reminiscent of sequence-specific transcription factors. Our study provides comprehensive maps of miR-155 regulatory RNA networks and offers a valuable resource for dissecting context-dependent and -independent miRNA-mediated gene regulation in key cell types of the adaptive and innate immune systems. Overall design: Primary dendritic cells, B cells, CD4 T cells, and macrophages from C57BL/6J wild type and miR-155 KO mice were cultured in RPMI medium with 10% FBS. Prior to harvesting primary dendritic cells, mice were subcutaneously injected with one million B16 melanoma cells expressing Flt3 ligand for about two weeks. After purification of splenic CD11c+ dendritic cells by CD11c microbeads (Miltenyi Biotec), dendritic cells were activated in a medium containing 100 ng/ml LPS (SIGMA) and 20 ng/ml GMSCF (Tonbo). Splenic primary B cells were purified by negative selection using Dynabeads Mouse CD43 (Invitrogen), and activated in a medium containing 25 ug/ml LPS and 6.5 ng/ml mIL4 (PeproTech). CD4 T cells from lymph node and spleen were purified with Dynabeads FlowComp Kit (Invitrogen). CD4+CD25-CD44- T cells were then activated with Dynabeads Mouse T-Activator CD3/CD28 (Invitrogen). Intraperitoneal macrophages, induced by thioglycollate injection, were harvested and activated with 100 ng/ml LPS.

View SamplesThe microRNA (miRNA) dependent regulation of gene expression confers robustness to cellular phenotypes and controls responses to extracellular stimuli. Although a single miRNA can regulate expression of hundreds of target genes, it is unclear whether any of its distinct biological functions can be due to the regulation of a single target. To explore in vivo the function of a single miRNA-mRNA interaction, we mutated the 3'' UTR of a major miR-155 target SOCS1 to specifically disrupt its regulation by miR-155. We found that under physiologic conditions and during autoimmune inflammation or viral infection some immunological functions of miR-155 were fully or largely attributable to the regulation of SOCS1, whereas others could be accounted only partially or not at all by this interaction. Our data suggest that the role of a single miRNA-mRNA interaction is cell type- and biological context-dependent. Overall design: Naïve WT, SOCS1KI and miR-155KO OVA-specific OT-1 TCR transgenic CD8+ T cells (1x10e4 per mouse) were adoptively transferred into CD45.1+ wt mice prior to infection with MCMV-OVA. WT, SOCS1KI and miR-155KO NK cells (2x10e5 per mouse) were adoptively transferred into CD45.1+ Klra8KO (Ly49H-deficient) mice prior to infection with MCMV. On d4 post infection, CD45.2+ CD44+ CD8+ OT-1 and CD45.2+ Ly49H+ NK1.1+ CD3- NK cells were FACS-sorted (BD FACS ARIA2). Each condition has 3 sequencing replicates.

View SamplesVia a GWA study, several SNPs have been identified as markers capable of predicting prognosis of lung cancer patients receiving TKIs therapy as first-line treatment. In order to get insights into how these genetic variants are linked to traits of interest, we conducted a genome-wide eQTL study by integrated analyses of SNP genotyping array data and gene expression array data of 115 subjects of lung adenocarcinoma. Our study successfully identified several SNPs as eQTLs, whose genotype were significantly associated with expression levels of several already known genes related to lung cancer.
