View SamplesTo identify liver transcripts differentially expressed between control samples and animals exposed to PBDE-47, we collected RNA from male pups at postnatal day 4 (PND4) after the Wistar Han dams were exposed to 0, 0.1, 15, or 50 mg/kg PBDE-47. These samples were interrogated with the Affymetrix Rat Genome 230 2.0 GeneChip array.

View SamplesMegakaryoblastic Leukemia 1 and 2 (MKL1 and 2) are coactivators of the transcription factor Serum Response Factor (SRF). We recently showed that depletion of MKL1 and 2 abolished HCC xenograft growth, associated with oncogene-induced senescence. To identify suitable MKL target genes mediating these effects, we performed microarray analyses using HuH7 hepatocellular carcinoma cells stably expressing shRNA against MKL1/2 (HuH7 MKL1/2 KD). We therefore used a Affymetrix oligonucleotide array and filtered for genes whose expression in HuH7 MKL1/2 KD cells was reduced by a factor of at least 2.5 as compared to control HuH7 cells.

View SamplesFOXE3 is a lens specific transcription factor that has been associated with anterior segment ocular dysgenesis. To determine the transcriptional target(s) of FOXE3 that are indispensable for the anterior segment development, we examined the transcriptome and the proteome of cells expressing truncated FOXE3 responsible for Peters anomaly identified through linkage-coupled next-generation whole exome sequencing. We found that DNAJB1, an autophagy-associated protein, was the only candidate exhibiting differential expression in both screens. We confirmed the candidacy of DNAJB1 through chromatin immunoprecipitation and luciferase assays while knockdown of DNAJB1 in human lens epithelial cells resulted in mitotic arrest. Subsequently, we targeted dnajb1a in zebrafish through injection of a splice-blocking morpholino. The dnajb1a morphants exhibited underdeveloped cataractous lenses with persistent apoptotic nuclei. In conclusion, we have identified DNAJB1 as a transcriptional target of FOXE3 in a novel pathway that is crucial for development of the anterior segment of the eye. Overall design: Human Embryonic Kidney (HEK293FT) cells were transfected with the expression vector (pT-RexTM-DEST30) harboring either the wild type or the mutant (C240*) FOXE3 ORF (open reading frame). The experimental design included a total of eight biological replicates of cells expressing the wild type and eight replicates of mutant FOXE3 along with eight non-transfected controls. Cells were harvested 24-hour post-transfection and subjected to total RNA isolation for the preparation of whole transcriptome next-generation sequencing libraries. Initially, we examined the quality of transcriptome libraries on a MiSeq genome analyzer. Subsequent to confirmation of the quality, all libraries were paired-end sequenced (2 x 100 bp) using Illumina TruSeq Cluster V3 flow cell at a concentration of 13.0 pM in two separate lanes (12 bar-coded mRNA pooled libraries in each lane) on a HiSeq 2000 genome analyzer.
FOXE3 contributes to Peters anomaly through transcriptional regulation of an autophagy-associated protein termed DNAJB1.

View SamplesThe composition of the matrix molecules is important in in vitro cell culture experiments of e.g. human cancer invasion and vessel formation. Currently, the mouse Engelbreth-Holm-Swarm (EHS) sarcoma -derived products, such as Matrigel, are the most commonly used tumor microenvironment mimicking (TMEM) matrices for experimental studies. However, since Matrigel is non-human in origin, its molecular composition does not accurately simulate human TMEM and we expect myogel to be more natural environment for human cancer cells. The environment may have crucial impact on cell behavior and gene expression.

View SamplesPotassium is one of the essential macronutrients required for plant growth and development. It plays a major role in different physiological processes like cell elongation, stomatal movement, turgor regulation, osmotic adjustment, and signal transduction by acting as a major osmolyte and component of the ionic environment in the cytosol and subcellular organelles.

View SamplesNon-metastatic 2 (NME2) is an established metastases suppressor in multiple human cancer types. However, the molecular mechanisms of NME2 action remain insufficiently resolved. We recently validated the transcription regulatory activity of NME2 with respect to control of proto-oncogene c-MYC expression. We hypothesized that large scale transcriptional potential of NME2 may be at the core of metastases suppression by NME2. Using a combination of high throughput genomic assays such as chromatin immunoprecipitation coupled to promoter array hybridization (ChIP-chip) and gene expression profiling, we characterized the transcriptional roles of NME2. Specifically, we found a set of NME2 target genes which changed expression upon selective depletion of NME2 in a lung cancer cell line, A549. The analysis of gene expression suggested control of various biological pathways esp. cell adhesion and apoptosis by NME2 target genes which could be important in regulation of metastases.
