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 SamplesThis dataset contains gene expression data from the NRC series (Neuroblastoma Research Consortium) for a total of 283 primary neuroblastoma tumors. All tumor samples are fully annotated including patient age at diagnosis, overall and progresison free survival and MYCN amplification status, enabling subgroup analysis, survival analysis and gene expression network analysis.

View SamplesNetwork-based analysis of neuroblastoma samples from two large cohorts identified master regulator proteins controlling the transcriptional state of three high-risk molecular subtypes. In particular, a TEAD4-MYCN positive feedback loop emerged as the core regulatory motif of a small protein module presiding over implementation and stability of the subtype associated with MYCN amplification. Specifically, MYCN transcriptionally activates TEAD4, which in turn activates MYCN both transcriptionally and post-translationally. The resulting MYCN-TEAD4 positive feedback loop plays a critical role in maintaining aberrant activity of a 10-protein regulatory module that causally regulates the transcriptional state of this subtype. Consistently, loss of TEAD4 activity induces core module activity collapse and abrogates neuroblastoma cell viability in vitro and in vivo, thus suggesting novel therapeutic strategies for this important childhood cancer. Overall design: Study of the transcriptional control by TEAD4 and MYCN positive feedback loop using RNA-seq profiles of TEAD4, WWTR1 and MYCN shRNA knockdowns in neuroblastoma BE2 cells. ChIP-Seq analysis using TEAD4 antibody in BE2 cells.

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 SamplesIn E. coli the phosphate homeostasis is regulated by the Pst system and the two-component system PhoB/R. Pathogens like E. coli O157:H7 are responsible for many outbreaks and can be found and survive in poor inorganic phosphate (Pi) environments.
PhoB activates Escherichia coli O157:H7 virulence factors in response to inorganic phosphate limitation.

View SamplesThrough development of an in vivo orthotopic lung cancer model, we reveal an unanticipated pathway driving spontaneous metastasis that is orchestrated by the developmentally-regulated transcriptional repressor, Capicua (CIC). Overall design: RNAseq and DNA copy number analysis of H1975 (EGFR-mutant lung adenocarcinoma) cells in the context of drug resistance to rociletinib
Inactivation of Capicua drives cancer metastasis.

View SamplesYeast cell cycle transcript dynamics in three S. cerevisiae strains grown at 30 degrees Celsius: cdc20 GALL-CDC20 (persistent mitotic CDK activity; CDK on), cdc8-ts (DNA replication checkpoint), GAL-cse4-353 (spindle assembly checkpoint), cdc8-ts cdc20 (DNA replication checkpoint, CDK on), and cdc8-ts cdc20, rad53-1 (DNA replication checkpoint without Rad53 activity, CDK on) in a BF264-15DU background. We compared transcript levels of genes previously shown to be periodically expressed in wild-type cells and in cells lacking all mitotic cyclins (clb1,2,3,4,5,6; CDK off).
Checkpoints couple transcription network oscillator dynamics to cell-cycle progression.

View SamplesThe recently released Affymetrix Human Gene 1.0 ST array has two major differences compared with standard 3' based arrays: (1) it interrogates the entire mRNA transcript, and (2) it uses cDNA targets. To assess the impact of these differences on array performance, we performed series of comparative hybridizations between the Human Gene 1.0 ST and the Affymetrix HG-U133 Plus 2.0 and the Illumina HumanRef-8 BeadChip arrays. Additionally, both cRNA and cDNA targets were probed on the HG-U133 Plus 2.0 array. The results show that the overall reproducibility is best using the Gene 1.0 ST array. When looking only at the high intensity probes, the reproducibility of the Gene 1.0 ST array and the Illumina BeadChip array is equally good. Concordance of array results was assessed using different inter-platform mappings. The Gene 1.0 ST is most concordant with the HG-U133 array hybridized with cDNA targets, thus showing the impact of the target type. Agreements are better between platforms with designs which choose probes from the 3' end of the gene. Overall, the high degree of correspondence provides strong evidence for the reliability of the Gene 1.0 ST array.
Affymetrix Whole-Transcript Human Gene 1.0 ST array is highly concordant with standard 3' expression arrays.
