ARGLU1 was identified in a screen for new modulators of glucocorticoid signaling in the CNS. RNA-seq of neuronal cells ±siARGLU1 revealed significant changes in the expression and alternative splicing of distinct genes involved in neurogenesis. Treatment with dexamethasone, a GR activator, also induced changes in the pattern of alternatively spliced genes, highlighting an underappreciated global mechanism of glucocorticoid action in neuronal cells. Thus, in addition to its basal role, ARGLU1 links glucocorticoid-mediated transcription and alternative splicing in neural cells, providing new avenues from which to investigate the molecular underpinnings of cognitive stress disorders. Overall design: N2a cells were transfected with non-targeting control and ARGLU1 siRNAs for 48 hrs followed by Vehicle (EtOH) or 100 nM Dexamethasone treatment for 4 hrs. RNA was extracted and pooled by treatment group (n=3/group) and mRNA enriched Illumina TruSeq V2 RNA libraries were prepared. Samples were sequenced on Illumina HiSeq2500.
ARGLU1 is a transcriptional coactivator and splicing regulator important for stress hormone signaling and development.

View SamplesIn this study, we compared the expression profiles of miRNAs in blood samples from Impaired Fasting Glucose (IFG) and T2D male patients. Healthy adult males with no past history of T2D (n=158) and with desirable cholesterol and blood pressure profiles were enrolled in this study. They were then classified according to fasting glucose levels to have T2D, IFG or as healthy controls (CTL), for comparison of miRNA expression profiles. Employing miRNA microarray, we identified signature miRNAs in peripheral blood samples that distinguished IFG and T2D. Eight selected miRNAs were further validated using stem-loop real-time RT-PCR. miR-144 expression was found to be dysregulated in Type 2 Diabetes, wherein its expression was significantly higher than in healthy controls. Insulin receptor substrate 1 (IRS1) has been predicted to be a potential target of miR-144. Consistent with this observation, IRS1 mRNA and protein levels, verified by quantitative real-time PCR and western blotting respectively, were found to be down-regulated.

View SamplesTo date, miRNA and mRNA expression studies on cerebral ischemia in both human and animal models have focused mainly on acute phase of ischemic stroke. In this study, we present the roles played by microRNAs in the spontaneous recovery phases in cerebral ischemia using rodent stroke models.
