View SamplesPurpose: To identify regulatory proteins that are potential drivers of a coordinated breast cancer metastasis gene expression signatures. Methods: Knockdown of target genes in breast cancer cell lines was achieved using scramble and/or gene-specific siRNA (ON-TARGET SMARTpool, Thermo Scientific) and Lipofectamine RNAiMAX. 48h post transfection, total RNA was isolated from cell lines using the RNeasy Plus mini prep kit (Qiagen). Nucleic acid quality was determined with the Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer. RNA Sequencing was also performed at the New York Genome Center (Manhattan, NY, USA) using a HiSeq 2500 Ultra-High-Throughput Sequencing System (Illumina, San Diego, CA, USA). Results: Raw reads in the fastq format were aligned to Human Genome HG19 using the RNA-seq STAR aligner version 2.4.0d (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23104886, http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26334920) as recommended by user manual downloaded along with the software. STAR aligner was chosen for mapping accuracy and speed (http://www.nature.com/nmeth/journal/v10/n12/full/nmeth.2722.html). Mapped reads for each sample were counted for each gene in annotation files in GTF format (gencode.v19.annotation.gtf available for download from GENECODE website (http://www.gencodegenes.org/releases/19.html)) using the FeatureCounts read summarization program (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=24227677) following the user guide (http://bioinf.wehi.edu.au/subread-package/SubreadUsersGuide.pdf). Individual count files were merged to generate the raw-counts matrix by an in-house R script, normalized to account for differences in library size and the variance was stabilized by fitting the dispersion to a negative-binomial distribution as implemented in the DESeq R package (http://bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/html/DESeq.html)(Anders and Huber, 2010). Conclusions: Our data suggest that targeting keystone proteins in the breast cancer metastasis transcriptome can effectively collapse transcriptional hierarchies necessary for metastasis formation, thus representing a formidable cancer intervention strategy. Overall design: Examination of mRNA profiling of breast cancer cell lines after knock-down of putative master regulators of the breast cancer metastasis transcriptome

View SamplesIn human cells, Staufen1 is double-stranded RNA-binding protein involved in several cellular functions including mRNA localization, translation and decay. We used a genome wide approach to identify and compare the mRNA targets of mammalian Staufen1. The mRNA content of Staufen1 mRNPs was identified by probing DNA microarrays with probes derived from mRNAs isolated from immunopurified Staufen-containing complexes following transfection of HEK293T cells with a Stau1-HA expressor. Our results indicate that 7% of the cellular RNAs expressed in HEK293T cells are found in Stau1-containing mRNPs. There is a predominance of mRNAs involved in cell metabolism, transport, transcription, regulation of cell processes and catalytic activity.
A genome-wide approach identifies distinct but overlapping subsets of cellular mRNAs associated with Staufen1- and Staufen2-containing ribonucleoprotein complexes.

View SamplesIn human cells, Staufen2 is a double-stranded RNA-binding protein involved in several cellular functions. Although 51% identical to Staufen1, these proteins are nevertheless found in different RNA particles. In addition, differential splicing events generate Staufen2 isoforms that only differ at their N-terminal extremities. We used a genome wide approach to identify and compare the mRNA targets of mammalian Staufen2 isoforms. The mRNA content of Staufen mRNPs was identified by probing DNA microarrays with probes derived from mRNAs isolated from immunopurified Staufen2-containing complexes following transfection of HEK293T cells with Stau2-HA (59kDa) or Stau2-HA (62kDa) expressors. Our results indicate that 11% of the cellular RNAs expressed in HEK293T cells are found in Stau2-containing mRNPs. There is a predominance of mRNAs involved in cell metabolism, transport, transcription, regulation of cell processes and catalytic activity.

View SamplesTo better understand the scale of gene expression changes that occur during the formation of mature adipocytes from preadipocytes, we compared and characterised the transcriptome profile of mesenchymal stromal cells derived from human adipose tissue, otherwise known as adipose-derived stromal cells (ASCs), undergoing adipocyte differentiation on day 1, 7, 14 and 21 (representing the early to late stage process of adipogenesis). Microarray technique was systematically employed to study gene expression in adipose-derived stromal cells during adipogenic differentiation over a 21 day period to identify genes that are important in driving adipogenesis in humans.
Genome-wide analysis of gene expression during adipogenesis in human adipose-derived stromal cells reveals novel patterns of gene expression during adipocyte differentiation.
