Drosophila miRNAs show distinct change in isoform distribution pattern with age. Some miRNAs show accumulation of the short isoforms, while other miRNAs show the accumulation of the long isoforms with age. The increase of the long isoforms of some miRNAs reflects increased 2''-O-methylated miRNA isoforms with age. The increase in 2''-O-methylated miRNA isoforms reflected increased Ago2-loading, but not Ago1-loading of specific miRNA isoforms with age. This raised a question on whether there is global shift in small RNA loading pattern between Ago1 and Ago2 with age. To investigate change in small RNA loading pattern between Ago1 and Ago2 with age, we performed small RNA deep-sequencing of Ago1 vs Ago2-IP small RNAs at 3d and 30d in Drosophila. This analysis revealed global increase of miRNA loading into Ago2, but not into Ago1 with age. Overall design: 3d and 30d FLAG-HA-Ago2 male flies were collected. Ago1 and Ago2 were immunoprecipitated by anti-Ago1 and anti-FLAG M2 beads respectively. RNA was purified from the beads, P32-labeled, and small RNA fraction was gel-purififed. Small RNA libraries were prepared using Illumina''s TruSeq small RNA sample preparation kit (#RS-200-0012, Illumina, Inc. San Diego, CA), following the manufacturer''s protocol. The libraries were multiplexed and sequenced on HiSeq2000 platform (Illumina).

View SamplesGroucho related gene 5 (GRG5) is a multifunctional protein that has been implicated in late embryonic and postnatal mouse development. Here, we describe a previously unknown role of GRG5 in early developmental stages by analyzing its function in stem cell fate decisions. By both loss and gain of function approaches we demonstrate that ablation of GRG5 deregulates the Embryonic Stem Cell (ESC) pluripotent state whereas its overexpression leads to enhanced self-renewal and acquisition of cancer cell-like properties. A pro-oncogenic potential for GRG5 is revealed by the malignant behavior of teratomas generated from ESCs that overexpress it. Furthermore, transcriptomic analysis and cell differentiation approaches underline GRG5 as a multifaceted signaling regulator that represses mesendodermal-related genes. When ES cells exit pluripotency, GRG5 promotes neuroectodermal specification via Wnt and BMP signaling pathways suppression. Moreover, GRG5 promotes the neuronal reprogramming of fibroblasts and maintains the self-renewal of Neural Stem Cell (NSC) by sustaining the activity of Notch and Jak/Stat3 pathways. In summary, our results demonstrate that GRG5 has pleiotropic roles in stem cell biology functioning as a stemness factor and a neural fate specifier. Overall design: Gene expression profiling of control and Grg5 knockdown (KD) embryonic stem cells with RNA-seq, in dublicate, using Ion Torrent Proton.

View SamplesA key function of Na+/H+ exchanger regulatory factor 2 (NHERF2) is spatial organization of signaling proteins to facilitate signal transduction. The role of NHERF2 in cancer progress is not well understood. This study determines how loss of NHERF2 alter colon cancer progress. Overall design: We show that loss of NHERF2 decreases colon cancer cell proliferation. To compare the effects of NHERF2 and LPA2 at the molecular level, HCT116 colon cancer xenograft with knockdown of NHERF2 or LPA2 was analyzed by RNAseq. Please note that standard cufflinks/cuffdiff output files are provided in the compressed tar files as processed data and Cufflinks/Cuffdiff output file content/formats are described at: https://cole-trapnell-lab.github.io/cufflinks/cuffdiff/#cuffdiff-output-files https://cole-trapnell-lab.github.io/cufflinks/file_formats/ (also included in the ''readme.txt'' file)

View SamplesExperiments in rodents have shown that kidney ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI) facilitates lung injury and inflammation. To identify potential ischemia-specific lung molecular pathways involved, we conducted global gene expression profiling of lung 6 or 36 hours following 1) bilateral kidney IRI, 2) bilateral nephrectomy (BNx), and 3) sham laparotomy in C57BL/6J mice. Total RNA from whole lung was isolated and hybridized to 430MOEA (22,626 genes) GeneChips (n=3/group).

View SamplesWe examined early and late gene expression changes using the IT LPS model of Acute Lung Injury (ALI). In this model, injury peaks at day 4 and is almost completely resolved by day 10 in wild type (WT) C57BL/6 mice. In contrast to the pattern in WT mice, lymphocyte-deficient Rag-1 -/- mice exhibit strikingly delayed resolution despite similar initial injury.

The effects of IH on lung structure and function are unknown. We used a mouse model of chronic IH, which mimics the O2 profile in patients with OSA. We exposed adult C57BL/6J mice to 3 months of IH with an FIO2 nadir of 5%, 60 times/hr during the 12hr light phase. Control mice were exposed to room air.
