Whole genome microarrays were probed with total mRNA from PTD-DRBD GAPDH siRNA treated H1299 cells at 12 h and 24 h. Using a 1.6x fold increase/decrease filter of cellular mRNAs, we detected a dramatic reduction in the target GAPDH mRNA along with a limited number of both up and down regulated genes. The up regulated genes were reduced in numbers and to nearly background 1.6x levels at 24 h, while the down regulated genes increased slightly in numbers and maintained a similar magnitude at 24 h. In contrast, lipofection treated cells showed both a dramatic increase in both the total number of genes altered and the magnitude of the increase. In addition, the numbers of genes affected increased between 12 h and 24 h, suggesting that lipofection of siRNAs into cells results in a substantial alteration to the transcriptome and may thereby confound interpretation of experimental outcomes. Moreover, the GAPDH specific knockdown was significantly smaller than PTD-DRBD mediated knockdown.

View SamplesNucleotide polymorphisms can potentially influence the hybridization of mRNA to 25-mer oligonucleotides. Because Affymetrix Rice Genome Array was designated mainly for Nipponbare genome of Oryza sativa, the expression level of other varieties could not be estimated correctly. We tried to apply new approaches to estimate expression level by discerning the probe-level differential hybridization.

View SamplesTo investigate the differences of transcriptional activities between AUG-initiated c-Myc and CUG-initiated c-Myc , we performed a transcriptomic analysis using high throoughput RNA sequencing (RNA-seq). Overall design: Total RNA extracted from KMST6 fibroblast cells stably expressing AUG-initiated c-Myc, CUG-initiated c-Myc, and empty vector (negative control) was subjected to RNA-seq analysis. The sequencing libraries generated from the RNA were analyzed by Illumina Hiseq 4000. The sequencing reads were trimmed for adaptor sequence, and low-complexity or low-quality reads were removed. Subsequently, the sequencing reads were aligned to the human reference GRCh38 genome using Gencode v27 annotations by STAR. Read counts per gene were quantified using the HTSeq Python package.

Overall design: Total RNA extracted from HCT116 cells stably expressing 5MP1 and empty vector-transfected negative control HCT116 cells was subjected to RNA-seq analysis. The sequencing libraries generated from the RNA were analyzed by Illumina Hiseq 4000. The sequencing reads were trimmed for adaptor sequence, and low-complexity or low-quality reads were removed.

View SamplesHepatic iron overload is a risk factor for progression of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), although the molecular mechanisms underlying this association have remained unclear. We now show that the iron-sensing ubiquitin ligase FBXL5 is previously unrecognized oncosuppressor in liver carcinogenesis in mice. Hepatocellular iron overload evoked by FBXL5 ablation gives rise to oxidative stress, tissue damage, inflammation and compensatory proliferation in hepatocytes and to consequent promotion of liver carcinogenesis induced by exposure to a chemical carcinogen. The tumor-promoting effect of FBXL5 deficiency in the liver is also operative in a model of virus-induced HCC. FBXL5-deficient mice thus constitute the first genetically engineered mouse model of liver carcinogenesis induced by iron overload. Dysregulation of FBXL5-mediated cellular iron homeostasis was also found to be associated with poor prognosis in human HCC, implicating FBXL5 plays a significant role in defense against hepatocarcinogenesis. Overall design: Total RNA was extracted from the nontumor and tumor tissue of an Alb-Cre/Fbxl5F/F male mouse (nontumor, n = 5; tumor, n = 5) or two littermate control Fbxl5F/F mice (nontumor, n = 6; tumor, n = 6) at 45 weeks of age.

View SamplesIncreasing evidence suggests that cancer arises from cells that are capable of initiating and sustaining neoplastic tissue growth, termed cancer stem cells (CSCs). Of central scientific and clinical relevance, cells with CSC properties are enriched for chemo- and radiation resistance and therefore may represent a population of cells that must be therapeutically targeted to prevent cancer recurrence/relapse 1. Human CSCs were first isolated in neoplastic hematopoietic tissue that manifests leukemias such as adult acute myeloid leukemia (AML) 2. AML stem cells represent a benchmark model of human CSC biology, ultimately motivating foundational studies leading to the identification of CSCs from solid tumours such as breast and colon 3. Independent of tissue type, a consistent feature of CSCs is their uncontrolled self-renewal capacity and differentiation blockade that have been commonly related to aberrant activation of pro-oncogenic events such as dysregulation of CBP/p300 transcriptional regulation involving -catenin 4. However, the transcriptional networks involving CBP/p300/-catenin complex have been shown to be equally critical to maintain normal stem cell (SCs) self-renewal for tissue homeostasis and regeneration 5. Here, we identify Sam68 as a distinct target that affords the ability to uniquely regulate CBP mediated transcription in human CSCs. Using a small molecule that targets Sam68, we reveal that shifting its affinity for CBP disrupts CBP/-catenin complexes, leading to immediate changes in histone H3 (K14 and K18) acetylation. Chemical targeting of Sam68 induced global changes in transcriptional programs of patient AML cells involving apoptosis and differentiation and was able to uniquely reduce neoplastic self-renewal of human CSCs in an in vivo model of patient specific acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Our study establishes an approach whereby the CBP/-catenin transcriptome can be uniquely targeted via Sam68 based vulnerability of CSCs that impacts neoplastic differentiation and self-renewal.
