We identified RNA targets of Matrin3 using SH-SY5Y by PAR-CLIP analysis. Because Matrin3 mainly bound to intron of pre-mRNA, in order to find the effect of Matrin3 on splicing pattern and expression, we knocked down Matrin3 using SH-SY5Y cells by electroporation and extracted total RNAs from those cells. The total RNAs were subjected to whole transcripts microarray GeneChip Affymetrix Human Transcriptome array 2.0.
Matrin3 binds directly to intronic pyrimidine-rich sequences and controls alternative splicing.

View SamplesGene expression in eukaryotes is an essential process that includes transcription, pre-RNA processing and RNA export. All these steps are coupled and normally, any failure in one step affects the other steps and could cause nuclear mRNA retention. One important player in this interface is the poly(A)-RNA binding protein Nab2, which regulates the poly(A)-tail length of mRNAs protecting their 3-ends from a second round of polyadenylation and facilitating their nucleo-cytoplasmic export. Interestingly, here we show that Nab2 has additional roles in mRNA transcription elongation, tRNA metabolism and rRNA export.

View SamplesInnate immune response is the first line of antiviral defense resulting, in most cases, in pathogen clearance with minimal clinical consequences. Viruses have developed diverse strategies to evade innate immune response and to ensure their survival. Using transmissible gastroenteritis virus (TGEV) as a model, we previously reported that accessory gene 7 counteracts host antiviral response by its association with the catalytic subunit of protein phosphatase 1 (PP1c). A transcriptomic analysis was performed to further investigate the effect of gene 7 absence on the host cell.

View SamplesPolycomb group proteins (PcG) are well known by their function in the regulation of developmental processes. PcG mediated regulation of genetic programs required for proper development are triggered by EZH2 H3K27 methyltransferase activity. EZH1 can partially substitute EZH2 activity. However, unlike EZH2, EZH1 is presence in differentiated and adult tissues suggesting additional biological functions. Here we show that EZH2 is predominantly expressed in neural stem cells being essential for neural stem cells self renewal and homeostasis. There, it controls the transcriptional state of cell cycle regulators, such as CIP1. But it is also necessary to regulate genes involved in surveillance and neuroepithelial polarity. In contrast, EZH1 expression is more abundant in differentiated cells within the spinal cord and its downregulation unables neural stem cells to differentiate. All together our data reveal a complementary but non-redundant role of EZH2 and EZH1 in neurogenesis.
EZH2 regulates neuroepithelium structure and neuroblast proliferation by repressing p21.

View SamplesRNA transcriptome difference between WT and SFR KO iNKT cells To understand how SLAM family receptors (SFRs) contribute to iNKT cell development, a mouse lacking all SFRs in addition to the ligand of 2B4, CD48, was generated, and the transcriptional profiles of thymic iNKT cells from wild-type and SFR KO mice were compared, using RNA sequencing. Overall design: Examine RNA expression in WT and SFR KO iNKT cells Thymocytes were isolated from WT and SFR KO mice, and iNKT cells were enriched by negative selection. Unwanted cells (CD11b+ CD11c+ Gr-1+ Ter-119+ CD19+ CD8a+ cells) were targeted for removal with biotinylated antibodies (BioLegend), streptavidin-coated magnetic particles (RapidSpheres) and EasySep magnet (STEMCELL), and followed by staining with mCD1d/PBS-57 and anti-TCR. Then, iNKT cells were sorted with BD FACSAria III (BD Biosciences), and total RNA was isolated from sorted cells according to the manufacturer's instructions using the RNeasy plus micro kit (Qiagen). RNA-Seq library preparation was performed using the Illumina TruSeq Stranded mRNA Kit, according to manufacturer's instructions, and sequenced with Illumina HiSeq 2000 Sequencer. Read quality was confirmed using FastQC v0.10.1 before alignment using TopHat v2.0.10 on the mouse GRCm38/mm10 genome.
SLAM receptors foster iNKT cell development by reducing TCR signal strength after positive selection.

View SamplesTo study the role of the plant hormone jasmonate in regulating stress-induced allocation of photosynthetic products between growth- and defense-related processes, we used RNA-sequencing to query the Arabidopsis transcriptome at high temporal resolution over 24 h after treatment with the bacterial toxin coronatine (COR), a high-affinity agonist of the JA receptor, or with a mock solution to account for diurnal changes in gene expression. These data establish a fine-scale view of the kinetics of jasmonate signaling, as well as of the diurnal patterns of gene expression.
