Chromatinized protein kinase C-θ directly regulates inducible genes in epithelial to mesenchymal transition and breast cancer stem cells.
Cell line, Treatment
View SamplesEpithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) is activated during cancer invasion and metastasis, enriches for cancer stem cells (CSCs), and contributes to therapeutic resistance and disease recurrence. The epithelial cell line MCF7, can be induced to undergo EMT with the induction of PKC by PMA. 5-10% of the resulting cells have a CSC phenotype. This study looks at the transcriptome of these cells and how it differs from cells with a non-CSC phenotype.

View SamplesGeneration of human fibroblast-derived hepatocytes capable of extensive proliferation, as evidenced by significant liver repopulation of mice. Unlike current protocols for deriving hepatocytes from human fibroblasts, ours did not generate iPSCs, but shortcut reprogramming to pluripotency to generate an induced multipotent progenitor cell (iMPC) stage from which endoderm progenitor cells (iMPC-EPCs) and subsequently hepatocytes (iMPC-Heps) could be efficiently differentiated. After transplantation into an immune-deficient mouse model of human liver failure, iMPC-Heps were able to engraft and proliferate, and acquired levels of hepatocyte function similar to adult hepatocytes.

View SamplesPseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) lung infection is a significant cause of mortality in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). Existing experimental data in our lab showed significantly different levels of virulence of "early" and "late" P. aeruginosa infection isolates in a C. elegans slow killing model. We wished to examine the expression profile of these isolates in order to explore genes that may be responsible for the observed differences. The expression profiles of two pairs of isolates (four isolates in total) were compared to each other using the Affymetrix P. aeruginosa PAO1 genome array, to gain insight into properties mediating virulence in these isolates. Data analysis was carried out using BIOCONDUCTOR software.

View SamplesEarly innate lymphoid progenitors (EILP) have recently been identified in the mouse adult bone marrow as a multipotential progenitor population committed to ILC lineages, but their relationship with other described ILC progenitors is still unclear. In this study, we examine the progenitor-successor relationships between EILP, IL-7R+ common lymphoid progenitors (ALP), and ILC precursors (ILCp). Bioinformatic, phenotypical, functional, and genetic approaches collectively establish EILP as an intermediate progenitor between ALP and ILCp. Our work additionally provides new candidate regulators of ILC development and clearly defines the stage of requirement of transcription factors key for early ILC development. Overall design: transcriptional profiling of early ILC progenitors (EILP, ILCp), and common lymphoid progenitors (ALP) was performed by RNA sequencing

View SamplesPlant drought stress response and resistance are complex biological processes that merit systems-level analyses to dissect drought stress encountered by crops in the field. We have used gene expression profiling of Arabidopsis plants subjected to a controlled, sublethal, moderate drought (mDr) treatment to characterize early and late response to drought. We have also compared these profiles to those from plants treated with soil water deficit (progressive) drought (pDr) to reveal acclimation responses in plants.

View SamplesWe report the transcriptome profile of one sequenced sample of mRNA isolated from pooled (20 from each genotype) abdomen fly extracts enriched in fat body content of fat body-specific Sdc RNAi knockdown and control flies Overall design: Abdominal fat body mRNA profiles of 4-6-day old control and fat body-specific Sdc RNAi knockdown were generated by deep sequencing using Illumina HiSeq 2500
Knockdown expression of Syndecan in the fat body impacts nutrient metabolism and the organismal response to environmental stresses in Drosophila melanogaster.

View SamplesIn order to understand the effect of genetic background on the response to gene dose perturbation, we performed mRNA transcriptional profiling on 99 hemizygotic lines (Df/+) from the DrosDel project, which have hybrid genetic background of OregonR/w1118. Overall design: We performed RNA-Seq analysis of 417 single adult flies in duplicate or triplicate. Flies are from 73 different genotypes. Differential gene expression was analyzed separately for each sex, gene expression from each genotype was compared to normalized mean of gene expression remaining 72 genotypes.
