View SamplesAlternative cleavage and polyadenylation (APA) can occur at more than half of all human genes, greatly enhancing the cellular repertoire of mRNA isoforms. As these isoforms can have altered stability, localisation and coding potential, deregulation of APA can disrupt gene expression and this has been linked to many diseases including cancer progression. How APA generates cancer-specific isoform profiles and what their physiological consequences are, however, is largely unclear. Here we use a subcellular fractionation approach to determine the nuclear and cytoplasmic APA profiles of successive stages of colon cancer using a cell line-based model. Using this approach, we show that during cancer progression specific APA profiles are established. We identify that overexpression of hnRNPC has a critical role in the establishment of APA profiles characteristic for metastatic colon cancer cells, by regulating poly(A) site selection in a subset of genes that have been implicated in cancer progression including MTHFD1L. Overall design: RNA was extracted from nuclear and cytoplasmic subcellular fractions from two biological replicates of the following cell lines: the non-malignant adult-derived human male colonic epithelial 1CT cell line and the SW480 and SW620 cell lines, which both derive from the same patient. The SW480 cell line was established from a Dukes' type B primary adenocarcinoma of the colon and the SW620 cell line was derived from a lymph node after cancer recurred with widespread metastasis. The 3' ends of extracted RNA were generated into libraries using the QuantSeq 3'mRNA-Seq library kit (Lexogen). Libraries were processed on the Ion Chef platform and subsequently sequenced on the Ion Proton system. Sequences were aligned using the Ion Torrent Server TMAP aligner to genome build hg19. RNA was also extracted from nuclear and cytoplasmic subcellular fractions from two biological replicates in SW620 cells following siRNA knockdown of HNRNPC, ELAVL1, or a control knockdown using scrambled siRNA. The 3' ends of extracted RNA were processed and sequenced as before.

View SamplesMetal tolerance is often a result of metal storage or distribution. Thus, with the goal of advancing the molecular understanding of such metal homeostatic mechanisms, natural variation of metal tolerance in Arabidopsis thaliana was investigated. Substantial variation exists in tolerance of excess copper (Cu), zinc (Zn) and cadmium (Cd). Two accessions, Col-0 and Bur-0, and a recombinant inbred line (RIL) population derived from these parents were chosen for further analysis of Cd and Zn tolerance variation, which is evident at different plant ages in various experimental systems and appears to be genetically linked. Three QTLs, explaining in total nearly 50 % of the variation in Cd tolerance, were mapped. The one obvious candidate gene in the mapped intervals, HMA3, is unlikely to contribute to the variation. In order to identify additional candidate genes the Cd responses of Col-0 and Bur-0 were compared at the transcriptome level. The sustained common Cd response of the two accessions was dominated by processes implicated in plant pathogen defense. Accession-specific differences suggested a more efficient activation of acclimative responses as underlying the higher Cd tolerance of Bur-0. The second hypothesis derived from the physiological characterization of the accessions is a reduced Cd accumulation in Bur-0.

A small portion was snap frozen and later used for RNA sequencing analysis. Needle biospies from 5 patients with other liver disorders were included as controls. Overall design: Examination of RNA expression in Alagille patients'' liver samples, compared to other control liver samples (with other chronic liver diseases).

Deep sequencing and bioinformatical separation of mouse and human reads reveals transcripts specifically regulated in mouse receptor-expressing cells. Overall design: Mouse C2C12 control and C2C12-FLNotch1, and human HEK-293-Flp-In cells (Hansson et al., 2010): HEK293-Flp control (Flp Ctrl), HEK293-Flp-Jag1WT (Flp Jag1+), HEK293-Flp-Jag1Ndr (Flp Jag1Ndr) were used in this experiment. In one 12-well plate, we seeded 3 wells of mouse C2C12 control cells and 3 wells of C2C12-FLN1 cells, with 3.6x105 cells in 1 mL antibiotic-free medium per well. Cells were allowed to settle for 8 hours. C2C12 control and C2C12-FLN1 cells were transfected with pcDNA5 (1.6 ug/well). All transfections were done using Lipofectamine® 2000 (InvitrogenTM, cat. no. 11668-019) with Opti-MEM® I Reduced Serum Medium (Gibco®, cat. no. 31985-062), according to manufacturer's instructions. The following day (18 hours post transfection), 3.6x105 cells in 0.5 mL antibiotic-free medium of Flp Ctrl, Flp Jag1+, or Flp Jag1Ndr cells were added. Cells were co-cultured for 6 hours, then lysed in 350 uL per well Buffer RLT (QIAGEN, cat. no. 79216) with 1% 2-Mercaptoethanol (Sigma-Aldrich®, cat. no. M3148) and stored at -80°C until RNA extraction.

View SamplesAim:Transcriptional analysis of NKX2.2 knockdown versus control in human pancreatic islets Methods:Pancreatic islets from 3 human donors were transduced with an adenovirus encoding an shRNA directed against human NKX2.2 or a scrambled shRNA control. Total RNA was extracted.Libraries were prepared from total RNA (RIN>8) with the TruSeq RNA prep kit (Illumina) and sequenced using the HiSeq2000 (Illumina) instrument. More than 20 million reads were mapped to the human genome (Human: NCBI/build37.2)) using Tophat (version 2.0.4) with 4 mismatches and 10 maximum multiple hits. Significantly differentially expressed genes were calculated using DEseq. Results: Among the dysregulated genes with a p-value=0.05 are important genes for the maintenance of beta cell function and idenity. Conclusion: Nkx2.2 is a critical regulator of beta cell function and identity Overall design: mRNA profiles of the pancreatic islets from 3 human donors transduced with Ad.sh-NKX2.2 or scramble sh-RNA control vector were generated by deep sequencing , using Illumina HiSeq2000.
