View SamplesWe performed deep sequencing of small RNA from mouse insulinoma (MIN6) cells cultured in 25mM glucose. We then developed and implemented an in-house short-read mapping strategy to analyze isomiR diversity. Overall design: Profile of miRNA expression in MIN6 cells cultured in 25mM glucose.

View SamplesDigital gene expression profiling was used to invesigate the differetiated genes between primary mouse hepatic stellate cells infected with AGGF1 adenovirus particles or negative control adenovirus pairticles. Overall design: Primary hepatic stellate cells isolated from mice were cultured in vitro, infected with AGGF1 adenovirus particles or negative control adenovirus particles, at day 8, total RNA were prepared and used for digital gene expression tag profiling.

View SamplesMicroRNAs (miRNAs) are important regulators and potential therapeutic targets of metabolic disease. In this study we show by in vivo administration of locked nucleic acid (LNA) inhibitors that suppression of endogenous miR-29 lowers plasma cholesterol levels by ~40%, commensurate with the effect of statins, and reduces fatty acid content in the liver by ~20%. Whole transcriptome sequencing of the liver reveals 883 genes dysregulated (612 down, 271 up) by inhibition of miR-29. The set of 612 down-regulated genes are most significantly over-represented in lipid synthesis pathways. Among the up-regulated genes are the anti-lipogenic deacetylase sirtuin 1 (Sirt1) and the anti-lipogenic transcription factor aryl hydrocarbon receptor (Ahr), the latter of which we demonstrate is a direct target of miR-29. In vitro radiolabeled acetate incorporation assays confirm that pharmacologic inhibition of miR-29 significantly reduces de novo cholesterol and fatty acid synthesis. Our findings indicate that miR-29 controls hepatic lipogenic programs, likely in part through regulation of Ahr and Sirt1, and therefore may represent a candidate therapeutic target for metabolic disorders such as dyslipidemia. Overall design: Hepatic mRNA profiles of C57BL/6J female mice treated with LNA against miR-29a, miR-29b and miR-29c versus saline.
Inhibition of miR-29 has a significant lipid-lowering benefit through suppression of lipogenic programs in liver.

View SamplesRibosome profiling of MDA-MB-231 cells treated with Silvestrol to monitor transcriptome wide, eIF4A-dependent changes in translation efficiency Overall design: Translation efficiency (TE) of mRNAs dervied from ribosome footprints was monitored in the presence or absence of 25 nM Silvestrol, an inhibitor of eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4A (eIF4A). Transcripts with reduced TE in the presence of Silvestrol were compare to transcripts with reduced TE in the presence of INK128, a catalytic mTOR inhbitor.
Transcriptome-wide characterization of the eIF4A signature highlights plasticity in translation regulation.

View SamplesThe growth and fruit quality of grapevine are widely affected by abnormal climatic conditions such as water deficit. But how grapevine responds to drought stress is still largely unknown. Here we found that VaNAC26, a member of NAC transcription factor family, was up-regulated dramatically during cold, drought and salinity treatments in Vitis amurensis, a cold and drought-hardiness wild Vitis species. Ectopic overexpression of VaNAC26 enhanced the drought and salt tolerances in transgenic Arabidopsis. Higher activities of antioxidant enzymes and the lower concentration of H2O2 and O2- were found in VaNAC26-OE lines than in wild type plants under drought stress. These results indicate that the reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging was enhanced by VaNAC26 in transgenic lines. Microarray based transcriptome analysis reveals that genes related to jasmonic acid (JA) synthesis and signaling were up-regulated in VaNAC26-OE lines under both normal and drought conditions. VaNAC26 showed a specific binding ability on NACRS motif, which was broadly existent in the promoter regions of up-regulated genes in transgenic lines. Endogenous JA content was found increased obviously in VaNAC26-OE-2/3 lines. Our data suggests that VaNAC26 responds to abiotic stresses and may enhance the drought tolerance by transcriptional regulation of JA synthesis in Arabidopsis.

View SamplesAbraxane, a nanoparticle (NP) formulation of paclitaxel (PTX), has been demonstrated to be more effective than Taxol, the small molecule formulation, for the treatment of breast cancer and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). It was reported that Abraxane existed in plasma as particles with the size of ~10 nm. NPs get in and out of the cells by endocytosis and exocytosis, whereas small molecules by diffusion and efflux. It is intriguing to know whether the improved pharmaceutical performance is related to the “too-big-to-be-pumped-out” phenomenon. Here we established an Abraxane-resistant NSCLC cell line A549/Abr and compared its transcriptomes with that of the Abraxane-sensitive parental cell line by RNA-Seq technology. To our surprise, the most significantly up-regulated genes were ABC transporters, the common efflux pump for small molecules. We further found that the ABCB1 inhibitor Verapamil reversed the drug resistance and confirmed the important role of ABCB1 in Abraxane resistance. Overall design: mRNA profiles of A549 and A549/Abr cells were generated using Illumina Hiseq 2000 and compared.
