Description
Utilizing glycerol and cardiotoxin (CTX) injections in the tibialis anterior muscles of M. musculus provides models of skeletal muscle damages followed by skeletal muscle regeneration. In particular, glycerol-induced muscle regeneration is known to be associated with ectopic adipogenesis. We characterized genome-wide expression profiles of tibialis anterior muscles from wild-type mice injured by either glycerol or CTX injection. Our goal was to detect gene expression changes during the time course of glycerol-induced and CTX-induced muscle regeneration models, that can lead to ectopic adipocyte accumulation.

Description
Streptococcus suis is a major swine pathogen that can be transmitted to humans causing severe symptoms. A large human outbreak was described in China, where approximately 25% out of 215 infected humans developed an unusual streptococcal toxic shock-like syndrome (STSLS). Albeit increased expression of inflammatory mediators following infection by the Chinese S. suis strain was suggested as responsible for STSLS case severity, the mechanisms involved are still poorly understood. In this study, we investigated the host innate immune response to infection by either one of 3 strains of S. suis: 89-1591 (Canadian, intermediate virulence), P1/7 (European, high virulence), and SC84 (Chinese, epidemic strain). Using Illumina microarray and validating those results with qPCR and Luminex assay, infected mice showed elevated expression of mainly pro-inflammatory chemokine and cytokine genes. Generally, pro-inflammatory genes were expressed at a higher level in mice infected with S. suis strain SC84 > P1/7 > 89-1591. Interestingly, IFN was expressed at much higher levels only in mice infected with the S. suis strain SC84, which could potentially explain some of the STSLS symptoms. IFN-KO mice infected with SC84 showed better survival than WT mice while no differences was seen in mice infected with highly virulent P1/7 strain. Overall, our results show an important role of IFN in S. suis infections and might explain in part the increased virulence of SC84 responsible for a recent outbreak in China.

Description
We applied previously established in silico whole-embryo body (WB)-subtraction-based approach to identify “lens-enriched” genes. These new RNA-seq datasets on embryonic stages E10.5, E12.5, E14.5 and E16.5 confirmed high expression of established cataract-linked genes and identified several new potential regulators in the lens. Finally, we present lens stage-specific UCSC Genome Brower annotation-tracks; these are publicly accessible through iSyTE (https://research.bioinformatics.udel.edu/iSyTE/) and enable a user-friendly visualization of lens gene expression/enrichment to help prioritize genes from high-throughput data from cataract cases. Overall design: RNA-sequencing datasets of microdissected embyonic eye lens samples from stages embryonic day E10.5, E12.5, E14.5 and E16.5 were generated. To estimate lens enriched genes we generated control “whole-embryo body (WB)” datasets. The lens enriched genes were used for enrichment level based clustering to identify gene clusters exhibiting distinct lens enrichment patterns across E10.5 to E16.5 developmental window. This new lens RNA-seq data and its accessibility through iSyTE 2.0 serves as a new integrative resource for prioritization of lens defects and/or cataract-linked candidate genes identified by other high-throughput analyses such as exome-seq and GWAS.

Description
This dataset was used to benchmark the Virtual Inference of Protein-activity by Regulon Readout algorithm (VIPER). Despite recent advances in molecular profiling, proteome-wide assessment of protein activity in individual samples remains a highly elusive target. In stark contrast, protein activity quantitation is increasingly critical to the dissection of key regulatory processes and to the elucidation of biologically relevant mechanisms. Importantly, its value extends to the study of drug activity, as most small molecules inhibit activity of their cognate protein substrates without affecting the proteins or associated mRNAs abundance.

Description
Overview: We report here that gene expression in E13.5 wild type (WT) mouse lenses differs from the lenses of mice that conditionally lack the Prox1 transcription factor in the lens of their eyes (Prox1 cKO) as assayed by high throughput RNA sequencing (RNAseq). The methodology outlined herein is similar to a previous RNAseq experiment from our lab (Manthey et al., 2014a)(Geo ascension: GSE 49949), and the filtering and processing criteria for this experiment was published as well.(Manthey et al., 2014b). The mammalian lens is notable for its biased gene expression, where 90% of the observed protein is expressed by just 50 genes. RNAseq was employed to sequence past these highly expressed lens structural genes and report the relative abundance of both high and low expression genes. In this study we demonstrated that 642 genes were differentially expressed in the lenses of Prox1 cKOs as compared to WT lenses. These data were analyzed using the DAVID biostatical analysis package and we found that the expression of lens specific proteins, as well as cytoskeletal genes and genes that regulated the cytoskeleton were expressed at lower levels in Prox1 cKOs. This analysis showed that the expression of genes encoding extracellular matrix components and their regulators, as well as cell adhesion increased in Prox1 cKO lenses when compared to WTs. Description of Filtering Criteria: Our initial analysis identified 5,492 genes that were differentially expressed in Prox1 cKO lenses as compared to WTs as computed by Pair-wise qCML method exact tests with a Benjamini Hochberg false discovery rate correction greater than the threshold of P < 0.05. As we described previously, there is significant variation in gene expression between inbred C57Bl/6 <har> and mice with a mixed background below a threshold of 2.5 fold. For this reason we filtered out all genes whose differential expression was less than 2.5 fold. We also wanted to filter out genes that were expressed at such low levels that they were unlikely to impact cellular function. We restricted our list to those genes that were expressed at greater than 2 Reads per Kilobase per million reads (RPKM) in either WT or Prox1 cKO samples, a value which corresponds to approximately 1 mRNA molecule per cell. The application of these filtering criteria resulted in narrowing our list to 642 genes that were likely to impact the Prox1 cKO lens phenotype. Manthey, A. L., Lachke, S. A., FitzGerald, P.

Description
ß1-integrin is the major ß-integrin subunit expressed in both lens epithelial and fiber cells. Our previous research indicated that ß1-integrin is essential for the maintenance of lens epithelial integrity and survival in late embryonic lens development (Simirskii et al, 2009). Lack of ß1-integrin in the lens will lead to severe micropthalmia and lack of lens in adult mice. In order to study the mechanisms involved, high throughput RNA sequencing (RNAseq) was performed to determine the genes that are differentially expressed between E15.5 wild type (WT) lenses and lenses that lack ß1-integrin expression due to the action of MLR10 CRE (ß1-cKO). The methodology used here is similar to the other RNAseq experiments that were previously performed in our lab (Manthey et al., 2014a and Audette et al, 2015) (Geo accession: GSE 49949 and GSE69940) . Meanwhile, the filtering criteria and processing procedures were also published (Manthey et al., 2014b). Compared to WT, 120 genes were found to be differentially expressed in ß1-cKO lenses. Moreover, bioinformatics tools (DAVID (the database for Annotation, Visulization and Integrated Discovery), and PANTHER (Protein Analysis through Evolutionary Relationship) classification system) as well as manual literature searching was applied for further data analysis. It showed that genes involved in EMT and stress-responses were differentially expressed in ß1-cKO compared to that of WT. Description of filtering criteria: To identify the differentially expressed genes, pair-wise qCML method exact tests with a Benjamini Hochberg false discovery rate correction greater than the threshold of P<0.05 was applied, which identified 5120 genes. As previously described (Manthey et al., 2014b), most of the genes differentially expressed between inbred C57Bl/6 <har> and mice with a mixed background were below a threshold of 2.5 fold change. Therefore, all differentially expressed genes with a less than 2.5 fold change were filtered out. Further, genes whose expression level were not high enough to be biologically significant were also filtered out, based on the RPMK (Reads per Kilobase per million reads) value. Any gene in the final list has RPKM greater that 2 in either WT or ß1-cKO samples, a value that corresponds to approximately 1 mRNA molecule per cell. By applying a combination of these filtering criteria, 120 differentially expressed genes were found, which could potentially elucidate the molecular connections between conditional deletion of ß1-intergrin from the lens and the observed phenotypic abnormalities.
