View SamplesGenome-wide comparisons of transcription factor binding sites in different species allow for a direct evaluation of the evolutionary constraints that shape transcription factor binding landscapes. To gain insights into the evolution of the PPARg-dependent transcriptional network we obtained binding data for PPARg, RXR and PU.1 in human macrophages and compared the profiles to matching data from mouse macrophages. We found that PPARg binding was highly divergent and only 5% of the PPARg bound regions were occupied in both species. Despite the low conservation of PPARg binding sites, conserved PPARg target genes contribute more than 30% to the functional target genes identified in human macrophages. In addition conserved target genes are strongly enriched for lipid metabolic functions. We detected the lineage-specification factor PU.1 at the majority of human PPARg binding sites. This confirmed the juxtaposed binding configuration found in mouse macrophages and demonstrated the preservation of tissue-specific adjacent PPARg-Pu.1 binding in the absence of individual binding site conservation. Finally, based on this of PPARg and PU.1 binding between human and mouse we suggest a mechanism by which PU.1 facilitates PPARg binding site turnover in macrophages.

View SamplesThe placenta serves as the structural interface for nutrient and waste exchange for proper fetal development. Although defects in placental function result in various placental disorders, molecular mechanisms orchestrating placental development and function are poorly understood. Gene targeting studies have shown that Hgf or c-Met KO embryos exhibit growth retardation and markedly smaller size of the placenta, and die by E14.5. Stem/progenitor cells in various tissues express c-Met and they participate in morphogenesis and tissue repair. Thus, we hypothesized that the HGF/c-Met signaling pathway is essential for the emergence, proliferation, and/or differentiation of putative stem/precursor cells of labyrinth trophoblasts at the midgestation stage.
c-Met-dependent multipotent labyrinth trophoblast progenitors establish placental exchange interface.

View SamplesIn zebrafish, parental exposure to ionizing radiation has been associated with effects in offspring, such as increased DNA damage and reactive oxygen species. Here, we assessed short (one month) and long term effects (one year) on gene expression in embryonic offspring (5.5 hours post fertilization) from zebrafish exposed during gametogenesis to gamma radiation (8.7 or 53 mGy/h for 27 days, total dose 5.2 or 31 Gy). One month after exposure, a global change in gene expression was observed in offspring from the 53 mGy/h group, followed by embryonic death at late gastrula, whereas offspring from the 8.7 mGy/h group was unaffected. One year after exposure, embryos from the 8.7 mGy/h group exhibited 2455(61.8% downregulated) differentially expressed genes. Overlaps in differentially expressed genes and enriched biological pathways were evident between the 53 mGy/h group one month and 8.7 mGy/h one year after exposure, which could be linked to effects in adults and offspring, such as DNA damage and lipid peroxidation. Interestingly, pathways between the two groups were oppositely regulated. Our results indicate latent effects following ionizing radiation exposure in parents that can be transmitted to offspring and warrants monitoring effects over subsequent generations. Overall design: One month after exposure, mRNA from F1 5.5 hpf embryos from parents exposed to 8.7 and 53 mGy/h gamma radiation during gametogenesis was sequenced on the Illumina 4000 platform with three replicas per treatment. One year after exposure, mRNA from F1 embryos from the same parents exposed to 8.7 mGy/h was sequenced with three biological replicates. In both cases, F1 embryos from non-exposed parents were used as control and mRNA sequenced in triplicates, taken at the same time points as the exposed samples.
Parental exposure to gamma radiation causes progressively altered transcriptomes linked to adverse effects in zebrafish offspring.

Early membrane initiated transcriptional effects of estrogens in breast cancer cells: First pharmacological evidence for a novel membrane estrogen receptor element (ERx).
Specimen part, Cell line
View SamplesEstrogens have been reported to activate several processes via membrane binding to either classic estrogen receptors (ERs) or GPR30. We have used either estradiol or BSA-conjugated estradiol in order to initiate membrane-initiated actions and ICI 172,780 (ICI) or G15 to explore ER- and GPR30-related transcription. Our results show that the majority of G15-inhibited transcription is depending on ERs, as it is also inhibited by ICI. However, a small number of transcripts, related to specific actions/pathways is either exclusively inhibited by G15, providing evidence about a specific GPR30 signature, or not inhibited by ICI or G15 suggesting the existence of another, yet unidentified estrogen receptor.
