Glucocorticoid resistance (GCR) is defined as an unresponsiveness to the anti-inflammatory properties of glucocorticoids (GCs) and their receptor, the glucocorticoid receptor (GR). It is a serious problem in the management of inflammatory diseases and occurs frequently. The strong pro-inflammatory cytokine TNF induces an acute form of GCR, not only in mice, but also in several cell lines, e.g. in the hepatoma cell line BWTG3, as evidenced by impaired Dexamethasone (Dex)-induced GR-dependent gene expression. We report that TNF has a significant and broad impact on the transcriptional performance of GR, but no impact on nuclear translocation, dimerization or DNA binding capacity of GR. Proteome-wide proximity-mapping (BioID), however, revealed that the GR interactome is strongly modulated by TNF. One GR cofactor that interacts significantly less with the receptor under GCR conditions is p300. NF?B activation and p300 knockdown both reduce transcriptional output of GR, whereas p300 overexpression and NF?B inhibition revert TNF-induced GCR, which is in support of a cofactor reshuffle model. This hypothesis is supported by FRET studies. This mechanism of GCR opens new avenues for therapeutic interventions in GCR diseases Overall design: Examination of GR induced gene expression in 4 conditions (1 control: NI and 3 treated: DEX, TNF, TNFDEX) starting from 3 biological replicates

View SamplesTo understand how atypical bHLH, INCREASED LEAF INCLINATION1 (ILI1)-BINDING bHLH-1 (IBH1) (At2g43060), and close homologue, IBH1-like1 (IBL1) (At4g30410), interact to regulate cell elongation, genome-wide RNA-Seq expression analyses of IBH1 and IBL1 gain-(IBH1OE, IBL1OE) and loss-of-function (ibh1 (SALK 049177), ibl1(SALK 119457)) mutants were conducted. Overall design: For loss-of-function mutant, homozygous ibh1(SALK 049177) and ibl1(SALK 119457) were compared to wild type (Col). For gain-of-function mutant, homozygous 35Spro:IBH1-GFP and 35Spro:IBL1-GFP were compared to wild type (Col). Total RNAs were extactced from seedling of each genotypes. For each genotype two biological replicates were sequenced.

While short-term cAMP induction is known to have a signature CREB-CRTC target gene response, the long-term effects of cAMP on beta cell gene expression are less well understood.

View SamplesThe first HSCs are produced in the aorta-gonadmesonephros (AGM) region of the embryo through endothelial to a hematopoietic transition. BMP4 and Hedgehog affect their production/expansion, but it is unknown whether they act to affect the same HSCs. In this study using the BRE GFP reporter mouse strain that identifies BMP/Smad-activated cells, we find that the AGM harbors two types of adult-repopulating HSCs upon explant culture. Overall design: Embryonic day 11 AGM are dissected and either analyzed directly, or after explant culture in conditions containing BMP/Hedgehog with or without cyclopamine. EC: endothelial enriched (CD31+Kit-); MC: mesenchymal cell enriched (CD31-Kit-); HPSC: hematopoietic progenitor/stem cell enriched; AGM11: E11 fresh AGMs; AGMex: AGM after explant culture; AGMcy: AGM after explant in presence of cyclopamine; CD31p: CD31 positive; CD31n: CD31 negative; KITp: c-Kit positive; KITn: c-Kit negative; BREp: BRE-GFP positive; BREn: BRE-GFP negative

View SamplesSmall Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC) is the most aggressive type of lung cancer with early metastatic dissemination and invariable development of resistant disease for which no effective treatment is available to date. Mouse models of SCLC based on inactivation of Rb1 and Trp53 developed earlier showed frequent amplifications of two transcription factor genes: Nfib and Mycl. Overexpression of Nfib but not Mycl in SCLC mouse results in an enhanced and altered metastatic profile, and appears to be associated with genomic instability. NFIB promotes tumor heterogeneity with the concomitant expansive growth of poorly differentiated, highly proliferative, and invasive tumor cell populations. Consistent with the mouse data, NFIB expression in high-grade human neuroendocrine carcinomas correlates with advanced stage III/IV disease warranting its further assessment as a potentially valuable progression marker in a clinical setting. Overall design: Genomic DNA from mouse small cell lung tumor samples was analyzed by mate pair sequencing and low coverage sequencing. And RNA from Nfib overexpressing mouse small cell lung cancer cell lines was further analyzed for high quality RNA profiles using Illumina Hiseq2500. This series contains only RNA-seq data.
