How chromatin controls transcription elongation and splicing is an open question. Here we determine the transcriptomic changes of cells partially depleted of core histones. For that we construct a cell line with Doxycycline-controlled levels of the histone regulatory protein SLBP (HCT-shSLBP). HCT-shSLBP is derived from the human colon cancer cell line HCT116.
Defective histone supply causes changes in RNA polymerase II elongation rate and cotranscriptional pre-mRNA splicing.

View SamplesWe performed array-based expression profiling to determine genes regulated by Chd7 and Top2b in CGNs. Our data show Chd7 and Top2b coregulate a common set of neuronal genes.

View SamplesThe objective of this study was to elucidate age-related differences in gene expression profiles of rhesus monkey bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (rhMSC) obtained from fetal, infant, and adult donors relevant to their growth and other properties. Although a high degree of similarity was observed in the rhMSC gene expression profiles when comparing the three age groups, significant differences were found that strongly parallel gene expression profiles of human MSC. The potential functional relevance of differential gene expression was most apparent when comparing fetal and adult rhMSC transcript profiles. Overall, the observed gene expression profiles are consistent with a loss of rhMSC pluripotency and proliferative capacity with advancing donor age. In addition, these data highlight the importance of use of non-human primates as a model system for studying the properties of human stem cells.

View SamplesTwo rat hepatic cell lines, WB-F344 and WB311, were characterized for the effect of rapamycin on gene expression. The WB311 cell line, which is tumorigenic and resistant to the growth inhibitory effects of rapamycin, was originally derived from the WB-F344 parental hepatic epithelial cell line. The goal of this experiment was to identify genes that responded to rapamycin in the sensitive cells but not the resistant cells, thereby providing insight into the mechanism of rapamycin resistance.

View SamplesThe goal of this study is to analyse the transcriptome of WT and Myc-overexpressing ESCs in iMOS T1-Myc mosaic cultures. Overall design: Homozygous iMOS T1-Myc ESC cultures (Claveria et al., 2013) were treated with 20µM 4-hydroxytamoxifen for 24 hours to generate a mosaic of cell populations containing two, one or no extra Myc and EYFP copies. 24 hours after tamoxifen removal, cells were sorted according to their EYFP expression levels and populations with two extra Myc and EYFP copies and with no extra Myc and EYFP copies were collected. Uninduced homozygous iMOS T1-Myc ESC cultures were also sorted and collected as a control. Three biological replicas were included for each condition.

View SamplesNa+/I- symporter (NIS)-mediated iodide uptake allows radioiodine therapy for thyroid cancer. NIS is also expressed in breast tumors, raising potential for radionuclide therapy of breast cancer. However, NIS expression in most breast cancers is low and may not be sufficient for radionuclide therapy. A better understanding of the mechanisms of NIS regulation in breast cancer may lead to strategies for increasing cell surface NIS and radioactive iodide uptake (RAIU) in breast cancer. The MCF-7 cell line is the only human breast cancer cell line with inducible endogenous NIS expression. Kogai et al. [2000] first reported that trans-retinoic acid (tRA) induces NIS mRNA expression in MCF-7 cells and it was later reported that a combination treatment of tRA and hydrocortisone (tRA/H) further increases tRA-induced NIS expression/function in MCF-7 cells (Kogai et al., 2005; Dohan et al., 2006). In this study, we used gene expression profiling to identify genes that correlate with NIS expression in MCF-7 cells such that mechanisms underlying NIS modulation may be elucidated.

View SamplesWe report a new protein complex with a role in transcription elongation that is formed by Ypr045c (Thp3) and the Csn12 component of the COP9-signalosome. Thp3-Csn12 is recruited to transcribed genes. Their mutations suppress the gene expression defects of mutants of the THO complex involved in mRNP biogenesis and export and show defects in mRNA accumulation. In vivo transcription elongation impairment of thp3 mutants is shown by reduction of RNAPII recruitment throughout an active gene and in transcript run on analysis performed in G-less systems. This new complex establishes a novel link between transcription and mRNA processing.
New suppressors of THO mutations identify Thp3 (Ypr045c)-Csn12 as a protein complex involved in transcription elongation.
