View SamplesCharacterization of preclinical models of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma progression that reliably recapitulate altered molecular features of the human disease. Here, we performed comprehensive gene expression profiling of cholangiocarcinoma tumors arising from bile duct inoculation of different grade malignant rat cholangiocytes.

View SamplesAsymmetric division of cortex/endodermal initials (CEI) in the Arabidopsis root generates two layers of ground tissue and is controlled by a finely orchestrated interplay between the transcription factors, SHORT ROOT (SHR) and SCARECROW (SCR). To understand the dynamics of the SHR/SCR regulatory network we performed microarray time course experiments using inducible versions of SHR and SCR and examined their transcriptional effects specifically in the ground tissue.
Spatiotemporal regulation of cell-cycle genes by SHORTROOT links patterning and growth.

View SamplesValidation of preclinical models of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma progression that reliably recapitulate altered molecular features of the human disease would provide an important resource for suggesting and testing of novel target-based therapies against this devastating cancer. In this study, comprehensive gene expression profiling in a novel orthotopic rat model of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma progression was carried out in an effort to identify potential therapeutic targets relevant to the progressive human cancer.

View SamplesPurpose: The objective of this study was to determine cardiac transcriptional pathways regulated in response to 1.) hypothyroidism and re-establishment of a euthyroid state and 2.) Med13-dependent cardiac transcriptional pathways regulated in response to hypothyroidism and re-establishment of a euthyroid state Overall design: Methods: WT and Med13 cardiac-specific knockout mice (Med13cKO) were put on a normal chow or PTU diet at 8 weeks of age for a duration of 4 weeks. A third group was put on a PTU diet for 4 weeks followed by 3 daily injections of T3.

View SamplesThe transcriptomic profiling of psoriasis has led to an increased understanding of disease pathogenesis. Although microarray technologies have been instrumental in this regard, it is clear that these tools detect an incomplete set of DEGs. RNA-seq can be used to supplement these prior technologies. Here, the use of RNAseq methods substantially increased the number of psoriasis-related DEGs. Furthermore, DEGs that were uniquely identified by RNA-seq, but not in other published microarray studies, further supported the role of IL-17 and tumor necrosis factor-a synergy in psoriasis. Examination of one of these factors at the protein level confirmed that RNA-seq is a powerful tool that can be used to identify molecular factors present in psoriasis lesions, and may be useful in the identification of therapeutic targets that to our knowledge have not been reported previously. Further studies are in progress to determine the biological significance of DEGs uniquely discovered by RNA-seq. Overall design: To define the transcriptomic profile of psoriatic skin, three pairs of lesional and nonlesional skin biopsy specimens were taken from patients with untreated moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis.

View SamplesSnt2 is a yeast chromatin-interacting protein whose function has not been well characterized, that was recently shown to associate with Ecm5 and the Rpd3 deacetylase. Using chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by high-throughput sequencing (ChIP-seq), we show that in response to H2O2, Snt2 and Ecm5 colocalize to promoters of genes involved in various aspects of the environmental stress response. By integrating these ChIP-seq results with expression analysis, we identify a key set of target genes that require Snt2 for proper expression after H2O2 stress. Finally, by mapping Snt2 and Ecm5 localization before and after rapamycin treatment, we identify a subset of H2O2-specific Snt2 and Ecm5 target promoters that are also targeted in response to rapamycin. Our results establish a function for Snt2 in regulating transcriptional changes in response to oxidative stress, and suggest Snt2 may have a role in additional stress pathways. Overall design: RNA-seq analysis to look at gene expression levels in wild-type, snt2 deletion, or ecm5 deletion strains before or 0.5 hours after treatment with H2O2 (final concentration 0.4 mM). This sequencing was done on biological triplicate samples.
