Purpose: identification of mRNAs that are potential targets of miR-203 in the endometrium and endometrial carcinoma Methods: mRNA profiles of three batches of wild-type (WT) and three independently generated miR-203 knockout (miR-203 KO) RUCA-I cells were produced by deep sequencing, using Illumina HiSeq 2500. The sequence reads that passed quality filters were analyzed at the transcript isoform level with TopHat followed by Cufflinks. Results: Using an optimized data analysis workflow, we mapped between 30 and 50 million sequence reads per sample to the rat genome (build rn6) and identified 26751 transcripts of which 1591 are differentially expressed in WT and miR-203 KO cells (p<0.05). Overall design: mRNA profiles of three WT batches and three independently generated miR-203 KO RUCA-I rat endometrial adenocarcinoma cell lines were produced by deep sequencing, using Illumina HiSeq2500.

View SamplesAntiretroviral therapy (ART) has reduced morbidity and mortality in HIV infection; however HIV-1-associated neurocognitive disorders (HAND) persist despite treatment. We used microarray analysis in post-mortem brain tissues to determine ART effectiveness in the brain and to identify molecular signatures of HAND under ART.

View SamplesSequencing data related to the manuscript entitled, "CD22 blockade restores homeostatic microglial phagocytosis in the aging brain." Overall design: To assess the transcriptional effects of CD22 blockade, we implanted aged mice with osmotic pumps to continuously infuse a CD22 blocking antibody or an IgG control antibody directly into the cerebrospinal fluid for one month. Following one month of continuous infusion, we performed RNA-seq on purified microglia from the hemi-brains of these mice contralateral to the cannulation site to minimize injury-induced confounding factors. Primary mouse microglia were isolated by gentle dounce homogenization of the brain, magentic myelin removal, and FACS-purification of ~20,000 live CD11b+CD45lo cells. Microglia were sorted into RLT Plus buffer (Qiagen) containing beta-mercaptoethanol. RNA was extracted using a RNeasy Micro Plus kit (Qiagen) according the manufacturer's protocol. RNA integrity was assessed on a Bioanalyzer (Agilent), and high quality samples were used for library preparation. cDNA synthesis and amplification was performed using the SmartSeq v4 Ultra-low input kit (Takara), and libraries were tagmented, adaptor ligated, and indexed using the Nextera XT kit (Illumina). After normalization and pooling, libraries were sequenced on a Hiseq 4000 (Illumina) using paired-end 100bp reads. Raw sequencing files were demultiplexed with bcl2fastq, reads were aligned using STAR, the count matrix was generated using SummarizedExperiment, and differential expression analysis was performed using DESeq2 with standard settings.

View SamplesSequencing data related to our manuscript "Systematic identification of general and context-specific regulators of phagocytosis using magnetic genome-wide CRISPR screens" Overall design: Two groups of U937 cells were sequenced before and after PMA differentiation. One group carried Streptococcus pyogenes Cas9 and a safe-harbor control sgRNA, and the second group was a clonally expanded U937 line expressing GFP. Each group was separated into eight separate wells at d0, and half of the wells were treated with 50 nM PMA. At day 3, undifferentiated cells were split to prevent overcrowding, and differentiated cells were trypsinized and replated. Cells were allowed to recover for 2 additional days before cells were lysed for RNA harvest and sequencing.

View SamplesWe had evidence that TRIM5 regulates signal transduction, specifically NFkB and MAPK pathways. To test the role of endogenous TRIM5 we used the myelomonocytic leukemia cell line THP1. These cells were transduced with a lentiviral vector that delivers a miRNA engineered to knockdown TRIM5. The vector also encoded a puromycin-resistance cassette and transduced cells were selected in poold with puromycin. As a control, cells were transduced with a vector targeting luciferase instead of TRIM5.

View SamplesWe have performed bioinformatic approaches to identify the level of enrichment between gene expression profiles characterizing MSI tumors and gene changes induced in vitro by the PARP-1 inhibitor Phenanthridinone and others using the Connectivity Map tool. In a first step, we have anyzed the expression of 300 colorectal cancers from the MECC study and generated a gene expression signature by microsatellite status. The criteria followed for selection of probe sets and detailed lists to be submitted subsequently to the Connectivity Map have been published previously by us in Clinical Cancer Research in 2009. In a second step, once we observed that deficiency in MRE11 exist among MSI tumors, our interest was focused on assessing if the homologous recombination pathway showed evidence of deregulation in MSI tumors. Therefore, we examined the expression levels of those genes integrated in the KEGG pathway hsa03440 using the previously generated gene expression data set.

View SamplesOzone pollution decreases plant growth and yield worldwide. Some of the effects are genetically-mediated and are reported to involve G-protein signaling pathways. Effects of ozone on gene expression were examined in wild-type and G-protein null mutants to determine affected genes and to determine differential responses that may help define affected pathways.
