To evaluate genes whose expression was misregulated in SCW4 RNAi line, we performed RNA-seq differential expression analysis.

View SamplesAs plant cells are fixed within their tissue context, a precise control of cell division orientation is crucial to generate complex three-dimensional organs. The transcription factor complex formed by TARGET OF MONOPTEROS5 (TMO5) and LONESOME HIGHWAY (LHW) triggers a change in cell division orientation leading to radial expansion, at least in part by activating local cytokinin biosynthesis. However, it remains unclear how cytokinin controls these oriented cell divisions. Here, we analyzed the transcriptional responses upon simultaneous induction of both TMO5 and LHW in detail. Using inferred network analysis, we identify AT2G28510/DOF2.1 as a cytokinin-dependent downstream target gene of the TMO5/LHW heterodimer complex. We further show that DOF2.1 is specifically required and sufficient for vascular cell proliferation without inducing other cytokinin-dependent effects such as the inhibition of vascular differentiation. In summary, we have identified DOF2.1 as a TMO5/LHW target gene, specifically responsible for controlling vascular cell proliferation leading to radial expansion.

View SamplesAlthough liganded nuclear receptors have been established to regulate RNA polymerase II (Pol II)-dependent transcription units, their role in regulating Pol III-transcribed DNA repeats remains largely unknown. Here we report that ~2-3% of the ~100,000-200,000 total human DR2 Alu repeats located in proximity to activated Pol II transcription units are activated by the retinoic acid receptor (RAR) in human embryonic stem cells to generate Pol III-dependent RNAs. These transcripts are processed, initially in a DICER-dependent fashion, into small RNAs (~28-65 nt) referred to as repeat-induced RNAs that cause the degradation of a subset of crucial stem-cell mRNAs, including Nanog mRNA, which modulate exit from the proliferative stem-cell state. This regulation requires AGO3-dependent accumulation of processed DR2 Alu transcripts and the subsequent recruitment of AGO3-associated decapping complexes to the target mRNA. In this way, the RAR-dependent and Pol III-dependent DR2 Alu transcriptional events in stem cells functionally complement the Pol II-dependent neuronal transcriptional program. Overall design: RNA-sequencing of polyA selected RNA molecules in NTera2/D1 cells and Global Run On (GRO) assay followed by high throughput sequencing (GRO-seq).

View SamplesThe identification of genes and deduced pathways from the mature human oocyte can help us better understand oogenesis, folliculogenesis, fertilization, and embryonic development. Human metaphase II oocytes were used within minutes after removal from the ovary, and its transcriptome was compared with a reference sample consisting of a mixture of total RNA from 10 different normal human tissues not including the ovary. RNA amplification was performed by using a unique protocol. Affymetrix Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 GeneChip arrays were used for hybridizations. Compared with reference samples, there were 5,331 transcripts significantly up-regulated and 7,074 transcripts significantly down-regulated in the oocyte. Of the oocyte up-regulated probe sets, 1,430 have unknown function. A core group of 66 transcripts was identified by intersecting significantly up-regulated genes of the human oocyte with those from the mouse oocyte and from human and mouse embryonic stem cells. GeneChip array results were validated using RT-PCR in a selected set of oocyte-specific genes. Within the up-regulated probe sets, the top overrepresented categories were related to RNA and protein metabolism, followed by DNA metabolism and chromatin modification. This report provides a comprehensive expression baseline of genes expressed in in vivo matured human oocytes. Further understanding of the biological role of these genes may expand our knowledge on meiotic cell cycle, fertilization, chromatin remodeling, lineage commitment, pluripotency, tissue regeneration, and morphogenesis.
