Description
Single-cell RNA-seq (scRNA-seq) of pancreatic islets have reported on a- and ß-cell gene expression in mice and subjects of predominantly European ancestry. We aimed to assess these findings in East-Asian islet-cells. 448 islet-cells were captured from three East-Asian non-diabetic subjects for scRNA-seq. Hierarchical clustering using pancreatic cell lineage genes was used to assign cells into cell-types. Differentially expressed transcripts between a- and ß-cells were detected using ANOVA and in silico replications of mouse and human islet cell genes were performed. We identified 118 a, 105 ß, 6 d endocrine cells and 47 exocrine cells. Besides INS and GCG, 26 genes showed differential expression between a- and ß-cells. 10 genes showed concordant expression as reported in rodents, while FAM46A was significantly discordant. Comparing our East-Asian data with data from primarily European subjects, we replicated several genes implicated in nuclear receptor activations, acute phase response pathway, glutaryl-CoA/tryptophan degradations and EIF2/AMPK/mTOR signaling. Additionally, we identified protein ubiquitination to be associated among East-Asian ß-cells. We report on East-Asian a- and ß-cell gene signatures and substantiate several genes/pathways. We identify expression signatures in East-Asian ß-cells that perhaps reflects increased susceptibility to cell-death and warrants future validations to fully appreciate their role in East-Asian diabetes pathogenesis. Overall design: 448 islet-cells were captured from three East-Asian non-diabetic subjects for scRNA-seq. 223 islet-cells remained after samples QC, and these cells were used for subsequent analyses. Hierarchical clustering using pancreatic cell lineage genes was used to assign cells into cell-types. We identified 118 a and 105 ß endocrine cells in our dataset.

Description
The conserved Mef2 transcription factor is a major regulator of gene expression and differentiation. Recent genomic studies have identified a large number of mef2-regulated target genes with distinct temporal expression profiles during Drosophila myogenesis. However, the question remains as to how a single transcription factor can control such diverse patterns of gene expression. The aim of this project was to investigate whether there are genes with different mef2-requirements for their expression during muscle differentiation in vivo during the development of Drosophila melanogaster.

- Affymetrix Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 Array (hgu133plus2)
Description
The Human T-cell Leukemia Virus (HTLV)-type-I non-structural protein p30 plays an important role in virus transmission and gene regulation. p30 has been documented to inhibit the export of certain viral mRNA transcripts from the nucleus to the cytoplasm. This nuclear retainment of RNA molecules essentially results in gene silencing, where protein products are not produced.

Description
Bisphenol-A (BPA) is an environmentally ubiquitous estrogen-like endocrine-disrupting compound. Exposure toBPAin utero hasbeen linked to female reproductive disorders, including endometrial hyperplasia and breast cancer. Estrogens are an etiological factor in many of these conditions. We sought to determine whether in utero exposure to BPA altered the global CpG methylation pattern of the uterine genome, subsequent gene expression, and estrogen response. Pregnant mice were exposed to an environmentally relevant dose of BPA or DMSO control. Uterine DNA and RNA were examined by using methylated DNA immunoprecipitation methylation microarray, expression microarray, and quantitative PCR. In utero BPA exposure altered the global CpG methylation profile of the uterine genome and subsequent gene expression. The effect on gene expression was not apparent until sexual maturation, which suggested that estrogen response was the primary alteration. Indeed, prenatal BPA exposure preferentially altered adult estrogen-responsive gene expression. Changes in estrogen response were accompanied by altered methylation that preferentially affected estrogen receptor-a (ERa)binding genes. The majority of genes that demonstrated both altered expression and ERa binding had decreased methylation. BPA selectively altered the normal developmental programming of estrogen-responsive genes via modification of the genes that bind ERa. Gene environment interactions driven by early life xenoestrogen exposure likely contributes to increased risk of estrogen related disease in adults.Jorgensen, E. M.,Alderman,M.H., III,Taylor, H. S.
