Description
We analysed the combined effects of exposure to maternal diabetes and disrupted HIF-1 signaling on the transcriptom in cardiac left ventricles of 12 weeks old male mice. This approach provides the information about the long term changes originating in utero due to maternal diabetes and inefficient response to hypoxia which develops as a result of hyperglycemia. The majority of changes were detected in Hif1a insufficient mice exposed to maternal diabetes. Overall design: Streptozotocin induced diabetic FVB females were mated with non-diabetic males with global heterozygous deletion of Hif1a (Hif1a+/-). Total RNA was extracted from the LV of the hearts of 12-week-old male offspring in biological triplicates per each group (wt, non-diabetic pregnancy; wt, diabetic pregnancy; Hif1a+/-, non-diabetic pregnancy; Hif1a+/-, diabetic pregnancy). RNA profiles were generated by deep sequencing using Illumina NextSeq.

Affymetrix Chicken Genome Array (chicken)
Description
The goal of this study was to determine developmental differences in gene expression between left and right ventricle, and to assess the differential effect of altered hemodynamic loading on left and right ventricle. Chick ventricles from different developmental stages were isolated for assessment of normal developmental profiles. Conotruncal banding or partial ligation of the left atrial appendage was performed in ovo at embryonic day 4 and ventricles were isolated at embryonic day 5 (banding) or 8 (ligation) for assessment of altered loading effects.

Description
The development of the human brain is a complex and precisely regulated process that unfolds over a protracted period of time. Human-specific features of this process, especially the ways in which highly complex neural circuits of the cerebral cortex form, are likely to be important factors in the evolution of human specializations. However, in addition to giving us remarkable cognitive and motor abilities, the formation of intricate neural circuits may have also increased our susceptibility to psychiatric and neurodegenerative disorders. Furthermore, substantial evidence suggests that the symptoms and progression of many brain disorders are dramatically influenced by genetic and developmental processes that define regional cell phenotypes and connectivity. Sex differences also play an important role in brain development and function and are a risk factor for several brain disorders, such as autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and depression. Thus understanding the spatiotemporal dynamics and functional organization of the brain transcriptome is essential to teasing out the keys to human neurodevelopment, sexual dimorphism, and evolution as well as our increased susceptibility to certain brain disorders. Most transcriptome studies of the developing brain have been restricted to rodents, and those performed in humans and nonhuman primates have included relatively small sample sizes and predominantly focused on few regions or developmental time points. Because many prominent features of human brain development significantly diverge from those of well-characterized model organisms, the translation of knowledge across species is difficult, and it is likely that many underlying genetic processes have gone undetected. In this study, we have taken a genome-wide approach to analyze the human transcriptome at single-exon resolution with ~1.4 million exon-level probe sets in 16 brain regions from donors representing both sexes and multiple ethnicities, across pre and postnatal development, including adolescence, and adulthood. We also generated genome-wide genotype data for 2.5 million single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and copy number variants (CNVs) for each specimen. Our analyses of the data revealed several features of the human brain transcriptome: spatiotemporal expression dynamics of individual and functionally related groups of genes, differential exon usage, sex-specific expression patterns and exon usage, and organization of the transcriptome into functional modules. We also profiled developmental trajectories of genes important for neurobiological themes and genes associated with ASD and schizophrenia. Finally, we present associations between specific SNPs and gene expression levels in different brain regions across development. The dataset presented here provides research opportunities and a wealth of information not previously available to the scientific community.

Description
Posttranscriptional regulation of mRNA levels in neutrophils and its consequences for immune responses are unexplored. By employing profiling of the neutrophil transcriptome we show that the mRNA-destabilizing protein tristetraprolin (TTP) limits the expression of hundreds of genes, including genes negatively regulating apoptosis. Elicited TTP-deficient neutrophils exhibited reduced apoptosis and were increased in numbers. The anti-apoptotic protein Mcl-1 was elevated in TTP-deficient neutrophils and Mcl1 mRNA was bound and destabilized by TTP. Ablation of TTP in macrophages and neutrophils resulted in an improved defense and survival of mice during invasive infection with Streptococcus pyogenes. Mice lacking myeloid TTP prevented dissemination of bacteria and efficiently blunted systemic disease by massive but controlled neutrophil deployment. These data identify posttranscriptional control by TTP to restrict neutrophils and antimicrobial defense. Overall design: WT and TTPKO peritoneal neutrophils stimulated with LPS for 4 h. Each condition analyzed in three replicates

Description
Precise control of mRNA decay is fundamental for robust yet not exaggerated inflammatory responses to pathogens. Parameters determining the specificity and extent of mRNA degradation within the entire inflammation-associated transcriptome remain incompletely understood. Using transcriptome-wide high resolution occupancy assessment of the mRNA-destabilizing protein TTP, a major inflammation-limiting factor, we qualitatively and quantitatively characterize TTP binding positions and functionally relate them to TTP-dependent mRNA decay in immunostimulated macrophages. We identify pervasive TTP binding with incompletely penetrant linkage to mRNA destabilization. A necessary but not sufficient feature of TTP-mediated mRNA destabilization is binding to 3’ untranslated regions (UTRs). Mapping of binding positions of the mRNA-stabilizing protein HuR in activated macrophages revealed that TTP and HuR binding sites in 3’ UTRs occur mostly in different transcripts implicating only a limited co-regulation of inflammatory mRNAs by these proteins. Remarkably, we identify robust and widespread TTP binding to introns of stable transcripts. Nuclear TTP is associated with spliced-out introns and maintained in the nucleus throughout the inflammatory response. Our study establishes a functional annotation of binding positions dictating TTP-dependent mRNA decay in immunostimulated macrophages. The findings allow navigating the transcriptome-wide landscape of RNA elements controlling inflammation. Overall design: Experiment comparing RNA decay rates in WT and TTP-/- macrophages at LPS 3 h and 6 h. Transcription was blocked with actinomycin D for 0, 45 or 90 min. Decay rates was calculated using linear model.

Description
Controlled decay of cytokine and chemokine mRNAs restrains the time and amplitude of inflammatory responses. Tristetraprolin (TTP) binds to AU-rich elements in 3 untranslated regions of mRNA and targets the bound mRNA for degradation. We have addressed here the function of TTP in balancing the macrophage activation state by a comprehensive analysis of TTP-dependent mRNA decay in LPS-stimulated macrophages from WT and TTP-deficient mice.
