View SamplesEstrogen receptor alpha (ESR1) mutations have been identified in hormone therapy resistant breast cancer and primary endometrial cancer. Analyses in breast cancer suggests that mutant ESR1 exhibits estrogen independent activity. In endometrial cancer, ESR1 mutations are associated with worse outcomes and less obesity, however experimental investigation of these mutations has not been performed. Using a unique CRISPR/Cas9 strategy, we introduced the D538G mutation, a common endometrial cancer mutation that alters the ligand binding domain of ESR1, while epitope tagging the endogenous locus. We discovered estrogen-independent mutant ESR1 genomic binding that is significantly altered from wildtype ESR1. The D538G mutation impacted expression, including a large set of non-estrogen regulated genes, and chromatin accessibility, with most affected loci bound by mutant ESR1. Mutant ESR1 is unique from constitutive ESR1 activity as mutant-specific changes are not recapitulated with prolonged estrogen exposure. Overall, D538G mutant ESR1 confers estrogen-independent activity while causing additional regulatory changes in endometrial cancer cells that are distinct from breast cancer cells. Overall design: RNA-seq was used to study the effects of the D538G mutation on gene expression

View SamplesWe report the transcriptome changes that result of the genomic deletion of one or two alleles of an islet-specific long non-coding RNA (Blinc1) in isolated pancreas from e15.5 mouse embryos. Overall design: Pancreas from e15.5 embryos were dissected and total RNA extracted. Libraries were prepared from total RNA (RIN>8) with the TruSeq RNA prep kit (Illumina) and sequenced using the HiSeq2000 (Illumina) instrument. More than 20 million reads were mapped to the mouse genome (UCSC/mm9) using Tophat (version 2.0.4) with 4 mismatches and 10 maximum multiple hits. Significantly differentially expressed genes were calculated using DEseq.
βlinc1 encodes a long noncoding RNA that regulates islet β-cell formation and function.

View SamplesPolarity defects are a hallmark of most carcinomas. Cells from invasive micropapillary carcinomas (IMPCs) of the breast are characterized by a striking cell polarity inversion and represent a good model for the analysis of polarity abnormalities. We have performed an in-depth investigation of polarity alterations in 24 IMPCs, compared with invasive carcinomas of no special type (ICNST).
LIN7A is a major determinant of cell-polarity defects in breast carcinomas.

View SamplesMitochondrial biogenesis and metabolism recently emerged as critical modulators of stemness properties and differentiation programmes. The increase in mitochondrial biogenesis and metabolic shift toward increased oxidative phosphorylations (OXPHOS) appear as hallmarks of stem cell differentiation processes. While several mechanisms support the involvement of mitochondrial biogenesis and function in the regulation of stem cell differentiation, the mechanisms triggering mitochondrial biogenesis in the context of cell differentiation remain elusive. In this study, we performed transcriptomic and bioinformatic analyses in order to get deeper insights into the cross-regulation of mitochondrial biogenesis and hepatogenic differentiation of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs). We identified a transcriptional regulatory network involved in the co-regulation of stem cell differentiation and mitochondrial biogenesis. Overall design: Transcriptomics analyses performed at early time points of the hepatogenic differentiation of BM-MSC
