Systems biology of the IMIDIA biobank from organ donors and pancreatectomised patients defines a novel transcriptomic signature of islets from individuals with type 2 diabetes.

View SamplesPancreatic islet beta cell failure causes type 2 diabetes (T2D). The IMIDIA consortium has used a strategy entailing a stringent comparative transcriptomics analysis of islets isolated enzymatically or by laser microdissection from two large cohorts of non-diabetic (ND) and T2D organ donors (OD) or partially pancreatectomized patients (PPP). This work led to the identification of a signature of genes that were differentially expressed between T2D and ND regardless of the sample type (OD or PPP). This signature includes 19 genes, of which 9 have never been previously reported to be differentially expressed in T2D islets. The PPP cohort also includes samples from individuals with impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) or recent onset diabetes associated with a pancreatic exocrine disorder (T3cD). Notably, none of the 19 signature genes of T2D islets were significantly dysregulated in islets of subjects with IGT or T3cD, suggesting that their changed expression reflects beta cell deterioration rather than a deficit preceding it.

View SamplesIn response to viral pathogens, the host upregulates antiviral genes that suppress translation of viral mRNAs. However, induction of such antiviral responses may not be exclusive to viruses as the pathways lie at the intersection of broad inflammatory networks that can also be induced by bacterial pathogens. Using a model of Gram-negative sepsis, we show that propagation of kidney damage initiated by a bacterial origin ultimately involves antiviral responses that result in host translation shutdown. We determined that activation of the Eif2ak2-Eif2a axis is the key mediator of translation initiation block in late phase sepsis. Reversal of this axis mitigated kidney injury. Furthermore, temporal profiling of the kidney translatome revealed that multiple genes involved in formation of the initiation complex were translationally altered during bacterial sepsis. Collectively, our findings implicate that translation shutdown is indifferent to the specific initiating pathogen and is an important determinant of tissue injury in sepsis. Overall design: Bulk 20 um thickness specimens from cross-sectional human kidney biopsies embedded in OCT underwent RNA sequencing. All subjects had ATN, AIN, or a mix of both conditions.

View SamplesPyrrole-imidazole polyamides (PIPs) have been shown to inhibit gene expression by interrupting the DNA-protein interface. Human Ectopic viral integration site 1 (EVI1) is an oncogenic transcription factor which plays a key role in many aggressive forms of cancer. We have developed a novel pyrroleimidazole polyamide, PIP1 targeting the REL/ELK1 binding site in the EVI1 minimal promoter that can significantly repress the expression of EVI1 in MDA-MB-231 cells. Whole-transcriptome analysis revealed that a fraction of EVI1-driven genes were modulated by PIP1.

View SamplesMicroarray is widely used to monitor gene expression changes in breast cancer. The transcriptomic changes in breast cancer is commonly occured during the transition of normal cells to cancerous cells. This is the first study on gene expression profiling of multi ethnic of Malaysian breast cancer patients (Malays, Chinese and Indian). We aim to identify differentially expressed genes between tumors and normal tissues. We have identified a set of 33 significant differentially expressed genes in the tumor vs. normal group at p<0.001.
Gene expression patterns distinguish breast carcinomas from normal breast tissues: the Malaysian context.

View SamplesPurpose: Next-generation sequencing (NGS) has revolutionized systems-based analysis of abiotic stress molecular pathways. The goals of this study are to compare NGS-derived transcriptome profiling (RNA-seq) of contrasting slow wilting lines to quantify transcript abumdance under drought stress condition Overall design: Methods: The three biological replicates of DS line, Pana (control and drought samples) and DT line, PI 567690 (control and drought samples) leaf sample RNA were multiplexed and sequenced on an Illumina Hi-Seq 2000 platform. The RNA concentration of each sample was approximately 200ng/µl with a quantity of 50 µl.isoform level with two methods: Burrows–Wheeler Aligner (BWA) followed by ANOVA (ANOVA) and TopHat followed by Cufflinks. qRT–PCR validation was performed using TaqMan and SYBR Green assays
