miR-182 Modulates Myocardial Hypertrophic Response Induced by Angiogenesis in Heart.
Age
View SamplesAngiogenesis induced by placental growth factor (PlGF) in heart promotes myocardial hypertrophy through the paracrine action of endothelium-derived nitric oxide which triggers the degradation of RGS4 and subsequent the activation of Akt/mTORC1 pathway in cardiomyocytes. However, whether alterations in miRNAs contribute to the development of hypertrophy is largely undetermined.

View SamplesThe cellular origin of Ewing tumor (ET), a tumor of bone or soft tissues characterized by specific fusions between EWS and ETS genes, is highly debated. Through gene expression analysis comparing ETs with a variety of normal tissues, we show that the profiles of different EWS-FLI1-silenced Ewing cell lines converge toward that of mesenchymal stem cells (MSC). Moreover, upon EWS-FLI1 silencing, two different Ewing cell lines can differentiate along the adipogenic lineage when incubated in appropriate differentiation cocktails. In addition, Ewing cells can also differentiate along the osteogenic lineage upon long-term inhibition of EWS-FLI1. These in silico and experimental data strongly suggest that the inhibition of EWS-FLI1 may allow Ewing cells to recover the phenotype of their MSC progenitor.

View SamplesMitochondrial biogenesis is under the control of two different genetic systems: the nuclear genome (nDNA) and the mitochondrial genome (mtDNA). mtDNA is a circular genome of 16.6 kb encoding 13 of the approximately 90 subunits that form the respiratory chain, the remaining ones being encoded by the nuclear genome (nDNA). Eukaryotic cells are able to monitor and respond to changes in mitochondrial function through alterations in nuclear gene expression, a phenomenon first defined in yeast and known as retrograde regulation. With this experiment we aimed to identify the set of nuclear genes that significantly change their expression level in response to depletion of mtDNA.

View SamplesExtremely slow growth imposed by energy limitation is a ubiquitous but poorly understood physiological state for microbes. We used oxygen limitation to impose this state on Pseudomonas aeruginosa and measured newly synthesized proteins using a time-selective proteome labeling method (BONCAT) to identify relevant regulators and metabolic pathways. We further characterized one upregulated protein that has no homology to any known protein domains. This small, acidic protein is post-transcriptionally regulated and physically interacts with RNA polymerase, binding near the secondary channel during transcription elongation, and leading to widespread effects on gene expression. For some genes, the impacts on transcript and protein levels are different, suggesting possible modulation of translation as well. These effects have phenotypic consequences, as deletion of the gene affects biofilm formation, secondary metabolite production, and fitness in fluctuating conditions. Based on these phenotypes, we have designated the protein SutA (survival under transitions). Overall design: Profiles of rRNA-depleted total RNA from WT, ?sutA (PA14_69770), and SutA-overexpressing cells grown late exponential phase in minimal medium containing pyruate as the carbon source, in triplicate
SutA is a bacterial transcription factor expressed during slow growth in Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
