Affymetrix Human Exon 1.0 ST Array [transcript (gene) version (huex10st)
Description
We identified a novel homozygous 15q13.3 microdeletion in a young boy with a complex neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by severe cerebral visual impairment with additional signs of congenital stationary night blindness (CSNB), congenital hypotonia with areflexia, profound intellectual disability, and refractory epilepsy. The mechanisms by which the genes in the deleted region exert their effect are unclear. In this paper we probed the role of downstream effects of the deletions as a contributing mechanism to the molecular basis of the observed phenotype. We analyzed gene expression of lymphoblastoid cells derived from peripheral blood of the proband and his relatives to ascertain the relative effects of the homozygous and heterozygous deletions.

- Affymetrix Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 Array (hgu133plus2)
Description
This study employed Affymetrix GeneChips to profile transcriptome of human pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells (HMVEC-L) treated with PBEFsiRNA to gain insight into transcriptional regulations of PBEF on the endothelial function. We isolated and labeled mRNAs from PBEF siRNA transfected HMVEC-L and hybridized them to Affymetrix GeneChip HG-U133 plus 2. Differentially expressed genes and canonical pathways were analyzed. Expressions of selected genes were validated by RT-PCR or western blotting. Several important themes are emerged from this study. First, PBEF induces the upregulation and downregulation of multiple genes in the endothelium. Expression of 373 genes were increased and 64 genes decreased by at least 1.3 fold in the PBEFsiRNA treated group compared to the control group of PBEFscRNA treated HMVEC-L. Second, the microarray results confirmed some previous reports of PBEF mediated gene expressions in some pathways but provided a more complete repertoire of molecules in those pathways. Third, most of affected canonical pathways or differentially expressed genes in PBEF siRNA treated HMVEC-L over their controls have not previously been reported to be PBEF-responsive. Our first transcriptome analysis of human pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells treated with PBEFsiRNA has provided important insights into the transcriptional regulation of gene expression in HMVEC-L cells by PBEF. Further in-depth follow-up analysis of the transcriptional regulation reported in this study may shed light on molecular mechanisms underlying PBEF mediated endothelial functions and dysfunctions in the physiology and the pathogenesis of inflammatory conditions, cancer, diabetes, coronary heart disease and provide new leads of therapeutic targets to those diseases.

Description
This is the first report characterizing noncoding RNA expression in a congenital heart defect. The striking shift in expression of noncoding RNAs reflects a fundamental change in cell biology, likely impacting expression, transcript splicing and translation of developmentally important genes and possibly contributing to the cardiac defect. The importance of noncoding RNAs (ncRNA), especially microRNAs, for maintaining stability in the developing vertebrate heart has recently become apparent. However, there is little known about the expression pattern of ncRNA in the human heart with developmental anomalies.

Description
The goal of this study was to define relationships between peripheral blood miRNAs and mRNAs of women undergoing idiopathic preterm labor (PTL) and compare network level changes to control women that deliver at term.Using RNA Sequencing we have performed global miRNA and mRNA profiling in both monocytes and whole blood leukocytes of women who underwent PTL (N=15) matched to non-pathological controls (N=30) as a part of the Ontario Birth Study cohort. We have identified differentially expressed miRNAs, mRNAs and pathways associated with PTL. Intriguingly, we found perturbations in many cellular signaling pathways, particularly in interleukin signaling. We also predicted mRNA targets for specific miRNAs and used these predictions to build putative miRNA-mRNA networks. We identified 6 miRNAs significantly associated with PTL whose expression is negatively correlated with expression of 14 predicted mRNA targets that are also significantly associated with PTL. Overall design: miRNA and mRNA were quantified from whole blood and monocytes of women undergoing spontaneous preterm labor compared to nonlabor controls matched on gestational age

Description
The androgen receptor (AR) is a ligand-inducible transcription factor that mediates androgen action in target tissues. Upon ligand binding, the AR binds to thousands of genomic loci and activates a cell-type specific gene program. Prostate cancer growth and progression depend on androgen-induced AR signalling. Treatment of advanced prostate cancer through medical or surgical castration leads to initial response and durable remission, but resistance inevitably develops. In castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC), AR activity remains critical for tumor growth despite androgen deprivation. While previous studies have focused on ligand-dependent AR signalling, in this study we explore AR function under the androgen-deprived conditions characteristic of CRPC. Our data demonstrate that the AR persistently occupies a distinct set of genomic loci after androgen deprivation in CRPC. These androgen-independent AR occupied regions have constitutively open chromatin structures that lack the canonical androgen response element and are independent of FoxA1, a transcription factor involved in ligand-dependent AR targeting. Many AR binding events occur at proximal promoters, which can act as enhancers to augment transcriptional activities of other promoters through DNA looping. We further show that androgen-independent AR binding directs a distinct gene expression program in CRPC, which is necessary for the growth of CRPC after androgen withdrawal. Overall design: LNCaP, C4-2B, or 22RV1 cells were cultured in hormone-free media for 3 days and then treated with ethanol vehicle or DHT (10nM) for 4h or 16h prior to ChIP-seq or RNA-seq assays. For siRNA transfection, cells were transfected with AR siRNA or control siRNA for 3 days prior to RNA-seq assays.

Description
Germline-specific RNA helicase Spindle-E (Spn-E) is known to be essential for piRNA silencing in Drosophila that takes place mainly in the perinuclear nuage granules. Loss-of-function spn-E mutations lead to tandem Stellate genes derepression in the testes and retrotransposon mobilization in the ovaries. However, Spn-E functions in the piRNA pathway are still obscure. Analysis of total library of short RNAs from the testes of spn-E heterozygous flies revealed the presence of abundant piRNA ping-pong pairs originating from Su(Ste) transcripts. The abundance of these ping-pong pairs were sharply reduced in the library from the testes of spn-E mutants. Thus we found that ping-pong mechanism contributed to Su(Ste) piRNA generation in the testes. The lack of Spn-E caused a significant drop of protein levels of key ping-pong participants, Aubergine (Aub) and AGO3 proteins of PIWI subfamily, in the germline of both males and females, but did not disrupt of their assembly in nuage granules. We found that observed decline of the protein expression was not caused by suppression of aub and ago3 transcription as well as total transcription, indicating possible contribution of Spn-E to post-transcriptional regulation. Overall design: The fractions of small RNAs (19-29 nt) from testis of Drosophila melanogaster spnE/+ spnE/- strains were sequenced using Illumina HiSeq 2000.
