We hypothesized that altered extracellular osmolality per se could affect the transcriptome of the kidney inner medullary collecting duct (IMCD) cells, and hence it might change renal tubular function. The data sets of transcriptomics were incorporated into the "omic" data sets of metabolomics. Primary cultured IMCD cells of rat kidney were grown in hyperosmolar culture medium (640 mOsm/KgH2O) for 4 d, and then the cells were cultured in the medium with either reduced (300 mOsm/KgH2O) or the same osmolality for 1 or 2 d more.
Patterns of gene and metabolite define the effects of extracellular osmolality on kidney collecting duct.

View SamplesAnalysis of DNA methylation and gene expression changes during regulated endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) to outgrowth endothelial cells (OECs). Results provide information of DNA methylation and gene expression pattern during cord-blood derived EPCs differentiation. Taken together, we discovered specific set of genes regulated by hyper- and hypo-methylation during differentiation. Overall design: mRNA and MeDIP seq using total RNA and genomic DNA isolated from cord blood-derived EPCs and OECs.

View SamplesChemotherapeutic use of cisplatin is limited by its severe side effects. In this study, we demonstrated that cisplatin induces cell death in a proximal tubular cell line by suppressing glycolysis- and tricarboxylic acid (TCA)/mitochondria-related genes. HK-2 cells were cultured to confluence in 100mm dishes. Total RNA was extracted (QIAGEN, Valencia, CA, USA), and the concentration in the samples was measured using a Micro UV-Vis fluorescence spectrophotometer (Malcom, Tokyo, JAPAN). Sample of 10g of Total RNA from HK-2 cells were labeled with biotin (3'IVT Labeling Kit, Affymetrix, USA) and hybridized (GeneAtlas Hybridization, Wash, and Stain Kit for 3' IVT Arrays, Affymetrix).

View SamplesOvarian cancer is the fifth most common form of cancer in women in the United States. Epithelial ovarian cancer is the most common and is highly lethal. In 2014, there will be an estimated 21,980 new cases and 14,270 deaths from ovarian cancer in the United States. No major strides have been made to improve survival over the past decade. Ovarian cancer is notable for initial chemotherapy sensitivity (>75% response rates) using combination platinum and taxane chemotherapy following debulking surgery. However, eventually, the vast majority of these women (>75-80%) will have their cancer recur within 12 to 24 months after diagnosis and will die of progressively chemotherapy-resistant diseases. Transcription factors act as master switches of various biochemical pathways by regulating gene transcription. Large number of studies demonstrated the role of transcription factors in cancer development and progression. However, transcription factors involved in the pathogenesis of ovarian cancer have not been explored thoroughly. Therefore, we propose to using transcriptome profiling to generate a transcription factor gene signature for high-grade serous ovarian cancer.

View SamplesInternal tandem duplication (ITD) of the fms-related tyrosine kinase-3 (FLT3) gene occurs in 30% acute myeloid leukemias (AML) and confers a poor prognosis. Thirteen relapsed or chemo-refractory FLT3-ITD+ AML patients were treated with sorafenib (200-400 mg twice daily). Twelve patients showed clearance or near clearance of bone marrow (BM) myeloblasts after 27 (range 2184) days with evidence of differentiation of leukemia cells. The sorafenib response was lost in most patients after 72 (range 54287) days but the FLT3 and downstream effectors remained suppressed. Four pairs patients (before sorafenib treatment and after sorafenib relapse), total eight samples from four patients at the two time-points were subjected to microarray analysis. Gene expression profiling showed that leukemia cells which have become sorafenib resistant expressed a number of genes including ALDH1A1, JAK3 and MMP15, whose functions were unknown in AML. NOD/SCID mice transplanted with leukemia cells from patients before and during sorafenib resistance recapitulated the clinical results. Both ITD and tyrosine kinase domain (TKD) mutations at D835 were identified in leukemia initiating cells (LIC) from samples before sorafenib treatment. LIC bearing the D835 mutant have expanded during sorafenib treatment and dominated during the subsequent clinical resistance. These results suggested that sorafenib have selected more aggressive sorafenib-resistant subclones carrying both FLT3-ITD and D835 mutations and might provide important leads to further improvement of treatment outcome with FLT3 inhibitors.
