View SamplesBoth bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) and histone deacetylases (HDACs) have previously been established to play a role in the development of the three major cell types of the central nervous system: neurons, astrocytes, and oligodendrocytes. We have previously established a connection between these two protein families, showing that HDACs suppress BMP-promoted astrogliogenesis in the embryonic striatum. Since HDACs act in the nucleus to effect changes in transcription, an unbiased analysis of their transcriptional targets could shed light on their downstream effects on BMP-signaling. Using neurospheres from the embryonic striatum as an in vitro system to analyze this phenomenon, we have performed microarray expression profiling on BMP2- and trichostatin A (TSA)-treated cultures, followed by validation of the findings with quantitative RT-PCR and protein analysis.

View SamplesBackground: Turner syndrome, a common sex chromosome aneuploidy, has characteristics and malformations associated with the phenotype. Fetal amniotic fluid is a complex biological material that could contribute to the understanding Turner syndrome pathogenesis. Global gene expression analysis of Turner syndrome fetal amniotic fluid supernatant was utilized to identify organ systems and specific genes that may play a role in the pathophysiologic changes that are seen in individuals with Turner syndrome.
Amniotic fluid RNA gene expression profiling provides insights into the phenotype of Turner syndrome.

View SamplesTreatment of MCF7 breast cancer cells by cisplatin leads to a very specific metabolic response and an onset of cell death about 10-11 h after beginning of treatment. For more detailed understanding of the molecular processes underlying the specific metabolic response, mRNA was isolated from MCF7 cells when the specific changes, (i) induction of glycolysis and (ii) onset of cell death, were detected during online measurement in the cell biosensor system.

View SamplesTo identify regulators of homeostatic eosinophilopoiesis in mice, we took a global approach to identify genome-wide transcriptome and epigenome changes that occur during homeostasis at critical developmental stages, including eosinophil-lineage commitment (eosinophil progenitor [EoP] compared to granulocyte-monocyte progenitor [GMP]) and lineage maturation (eosinophil compared to EoP). Our analyses revealed markedly greater transcriptome alterations associated with eosinophil maturation (1199 genes) compared to eosinophil-lineage commitment (490 genes), highlighting the greater transcriptional investment necessary for differentiation. Our analyses also delineated a 976 gene eosinophil-lineage transcriptome that included a repertoire of 56 transcription factors, many of which have never previously been associated with eosinophils. Epigenomic studies revealed that genes that were specifically induced with eosinophil-lineage commitment in EoPs were “poised” with active chromatin marks in GMPs, despite not being expressed in GMPs. In contrast, a majority of the genes that were highly and specifically induced with maturation in eosinophils was not associated with poised chromatin, suggesting distinct epigenetic regulation between genes induced with lineage commitment compared to genes induced with cell maturation during eosinophil development. Overall design: RNA Seq and H3K4me3 distribution of GMPs, EoPs and eosinophils sorted from Balb/c bone marrow. RNA Seq libraries were prepared from 2 independent sorts of each cell type (GMP, EoPs, Eosinophils [Eos]). ChIP Seq was performed with chromatin from one sort of each cell type.

View SamplesTo elucidate mechanisms of cancer progression, we generated inducible human neoplasia in 3-dimensionally intact epithelial tissue. Gene expression profiling of both epithelia and stroma at specific time points during tumor progression revealed sequential enrichment of genes mediating discrete biologic functions in each tissue compartment. A core cancer progression signature was distilled using the increased signaling specificity of downstream oncogene effectors and subjected to network modeling. Network topology predicted that tumor development depends upon specific ECM-interacting network hubs. Blockade of one such hub, the b1 integrin subunit, disrupted network gene expression and attenuated tumorigenesis in vivo. Thus, integrating network modeling and temporal gene expression analysis of inducible human neoplasia provides an approach to prioritize and characterize genes functioning in cancer progression.
