Hox genes are critical developmental transcription factor. We found that in mice with disrupted expression of Hoxa6, Hoxb6 and Hoxc6 there is significantly disrupted endocrine pancreas development. We used microarray analysis to probe for possible molecular mechanisms involed in Hox6 signaling in pancreas development.
Mesenchymal Hox6 function is required for mouse pancreatic endocrine cell differentiation.

Environmentally induced epigenetic transgenerational inheritance of ovarian disease.

View SamplesThe epigenetic transgenerational actions of environmental toxicants and relevant mixtures on ovarian disease was investigated with the use of a fungicide, a pesticide mixture, a plastic mixture, dioxin and a hydrocarbon mixture. After transient exposure of an F0 gestating female rat during embryonic gonadal sex determination, the F1, F2 and F3 generation progeny adult onset ovarian disease was assessed. Transgenerational disease phenotypes observed included an increase in cysts resembling human polycystic ovarian disease (PCO) and a decrease in the ovarian primordial follicle pool size resembling premature ovarian failure (POF). The F3 generation granulosa cells were isolated and found to have a transgenerational effect on the transcriptome and epigenome (differential DNA methylation). Epigenetic biomarkers for environmental exposure and associated gene networks were identified. Epigenetic transgenerational inheritance of ovarian disease states were induced by different classes of environmental compounds suggesting a role of environmental epigenetics in ovarian disease etiology.

View SamplesChildren born to diabetic and obese or overweight mothers have a higher risk of heart disease at birth and later in life. Our previous work using chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing revealed that late-gestation diabetes in combination with maternal high fat diet causes a distinct fuel-mediated epigenetic reprogramming of cardiac tissue during fetal cardiogenesis.

View SamplesGenes encoding transcription factors function as hubs in gene regulatory networks because they encode DNA-binding proteins, which bind to promoters that carry their binding sites. In the present work we have studied gene regulatory networks defined by genes with transcripts belonging to different mRNA abundance classes in the small intestinal epithelial cell. The focus is the rewiring that occurs in transcription factor hubs in these networks during the differentiation of the small intestinal epithelial cell while it migrates along the crypt-villus axis and during its development from a fetal endodermal cell to a mature adult villus epithelial cell.
Metabolome, transcriptome, and bioinformatic cis-element analyses point to HNF-4 as a central regulator of gene expression during enterocyte differentiation.
