View SamplesPrevious reports suggest that outcome of cHL patients may be related to the tumor microenvironment, which in turn may be influenced by EBV infection. Gene profiling was used for further characterize the cHL microenvironment. A training set of 73 cHL tissue samples was profiled using Affymetrix DNA microarrays. Supervised analysis provided a gene signature separating EBV+ from EBV- cHL tissues, including genes characteristic of Th1 and antiviral response. Samples from patients with favourable outcome significantly overexpressed genes involved in the function of B-cells and plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs), like BCL11A. A validation set of 146 cHL samples was analyzed using immunohistochemistry (IHC).

View SamplesWe profiled the transcriptome of cardiomyocytes from hiPSCs throughout differentiation and at a single cell level to identify subpopulations. We further studied on the transcription factors NR2F2, TBX5, and HEY2 in these subpopulations. Overall design: Cardiomyocytes derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSC-CMs) have become a powerful tool for human disease modeling and therapeutic testing. However, their use remains limited by their immaturity and heterogeneity. To characterize the source of this heterogeneity, we performed bulk RNA-seq on hiPSCs undergoing differentiation into cardiomyocytes over an extended time course followed by single-cell RNA-seq at a later time point (day 30). These analyses identified novel single-cell populations, characterized by the distinct or overlapping expression of TBX5, NR2F2, HEY2, ISL1, JARID2, and HOPX transcription factors. Analysis of RNA-seq data from hiPSC-CMs both during differentiation in vitro and from human heart tissues suggests these transcription factors underlie physiologically distinct lineages. Using CRISPR genome editing and ChIP-seq, in conjunction with patch clamp, calcium imaging, CYTOF, and single-cell Western analysis, we now demonstrate that these transcription factors play an essential role in specification of early atrial (NR2F2) and late ventricular (HEY2) cardiomyocytes. We RNA-sequenced NR2F2, TBX5, HEY2 gene edited lines as well as day 30 hiPSC-CMs overexpressing NR2F2, TBX5, and HEY2. These new targets, sequencing data, and methods provide a platform for improved investigation of in vitro cardiac heterogeneity.

View SamplesMacrophages in tumor microenvironment have been characterized as M1- and M2-polarized subtypes. This study sought to investigate the effects of different macrophage subtypes on the biological behavior and global gene expression profiles of lung cancer cells. Expression microarray and bioinformatics analyses indicated that the different macrophage subtypes mainly regulated genes involved in cell cycle, cytoskeletal remodeling, coagulation, cell adhesion and apoptosis pathways in A549 cells, a pattern that correlated with the altered behavior of A549 cells observed after coculture with macrophage subtypes.

View SamplesDelineating key HSC regulators is of significant interest for informing the treatment of hematologic malignancy. While HSC activity is enhanced by overexpression of SKI, the transforming growth factor-beta (TGFß) signaling antagonist corepressor, its requirement in HSC is unknown. Here we reveal a profound defect in Ski-/- HSC fitness but not specification. Transcriptionally, Ski-/- HSC exhibited striking upregulation of TGFb superfamily signaling and splicing alterations. As these are both common aspects of myelodysplastic-syndrome (MDS) pathobiology with prognostic value, we investigated the role of SKI in MDS. A SKI-correlated gene signature defines a subset of low-risk MDS patients with active TGFß signaling and deregulated RNA splicing (e.g. CSF3R). The apparent paradox of Ski-/- HSC sharing molecular aspects of MDS with elevated SKI-mRNA is resolved by miR-21 targeting of SKI in MDS. We conclude that miR-21-mediated loss of SKI contributes to early stage MDS pathogenesis by activating TGFß signaling and alternative splicing while hindering HSC fitness.

View SamplesThe mammary gland at early stages of pregnancy undergoes fast cell proliferation, yet the mechanism to ensure its genome integrity is largely unknown. Here we show that pregnancy enhances expression of genes involved in numerous pathways, including most genes encoding replisomes. In mouse mammary glands, replisome genes are positively regulated by estrogen/ERa signaling but negatively regulated by BRCA1. Upon DNA damage, BRCA1 deficiency markedly enhances DNA replication initiation. BRCA1 deficiency also preferably impairs DNA replication checkpoints mediated by ATR and CHK1 but not by WEE1, which inhibits DNA replication initiation through CDC7-MCM2 pathway and enables BRCA1-deficient cells to avoid further genomic instability. Thus, BRCA1 and WEE1 inhibit DNA replication initiation in a parallel manner to ensure genome stability for mammary gland development during pregnancy.
BRCA1 represses DNA replication initiation through antagonizing estrogen signaling and maintains genome stability in parallel with WEE1-MCM2 signaling during pregnancy.

View SamplesWe report the high-throughput profiling of brain RNA from three Drosophila stains: dBRWD3PX2/+, dBRWD3PX2/PX2 and dBRWD3PX2/PX2, yemGS21861/GS21861. By obtaining over 50 million reads of sequence, WE compared the transcriptomic differences among the brains from these three stains. We found that the expression of 871 genes was significantly different between heterozygous control and homozygous dBRWD3 mutant brains (484 upregulated genes, 387 downregulated genes, p<0.05). Gene ontology (GO) analysis of the 871 genes revealed a broad spectrum of biological processes, ranging from synaptic activity to housekeeping metabolism subjective to dBRWD3 regulation. Among the 387 downregulated genes, the expression of 360 genes (92.8%) was increased in the dBRWD3, yem double mutant brains compared with dBRWD3 mutant. Among the 484 upregulated genes, the expression of 412 genes (85.1%) was decreased in the double mutant brains. These differential genes were evenly distributed on X chromosome and autosomes (149 on X, 178 on 2L, 154 on 2R, 166 on 3L, and 207 on 3R). These analyses indicate that dBRWD3 regulates gene expression in the brain mainly through the HIRA/YEM complex. Overall design: Examination of brain transcriptome in 3 Drosophila strains.

View SamplesThe majority of the human genome is transcribed, yielding a rich repository of non-coding transcripts that are involved in a myriad of biological processes including cancer. However, how non-coding transcripts such as Long Non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) function in prostate cancer is still unclear. In this study, we have identified a novel set of clinically relevant androgen-regulated lncRNAs in prostate cancer. Among this group, we found LINC00844 is a direct androgen regulated target that is actively transcribed in AR-dependent prostate cancer cells. In clinical analysis, the expression of LINC00844 is higher in normal prostate compared to malignant and metastatic prostate cancer samples and patients with low expression demonstrate poor prognosis and significantly increased biochemical recurrence suggesting LINC00844 may function in suppressing tumor progression and metastasis. From in-vitroloss-of-function studies, we showed LINC00844 prevents prostate cancer cell migration and invasion. Moreover, in gene expression studies we demonstrate LINC00844 functions in trans, affecting global androgen-regulated gene transcription. Mechanistically, we provide evidence to show LINC00844 is important in facilitating AR binding to the chromatin. Finally, we showed LINC00844 mediates its phenotypic effects in part by activating the expression of NDRG1, a crucial cancer metastasis suppressor. Collectively, our findings indicate LINC00844 is a novel coregulator of AR that plays an important role in the androgen transcriptional network and the development and progression of prostate cancer.
