View SamplesAlthough it is well known that stroke and head trauma are one of the high risk factors for the development of acquired epilepsy, the cellular mechanisms underlying the epileptogenesis is not well understood. Using rodent models of ischemic stroke and head trauma (partial cortical isolation, undercut), we comparatively analyzed transcription profiles between two different models to explore the commonality.
TGFβ signaling is associated with changes in inflammatory gene expression and perineuronal net degradation around inhibitory neurons following various neurological insults.

View SamplesWe generated RNA-seq data to measure transcriptional profiles of twenty hPSC-derived NSC populations, representing distinct regions of the developing human hindbrain and rostral cervical spinal cord. These cells are differentiated using a protocol that induces collinear activation of region-specific HOX genes during exposure to FGF8 and Wnt signaling (Lippmann et al, 2015 PMID:25843047). By transitioning to media containing retinoic acid after varying durations of Wnt signaling, NSCs are generated with unique rostrocaudal identities that uniformly express the neuroectodermal marker Pax6 and form N-cadherin+ rosette structures in vitro. Overall design: The data consist of RNA-seq measurements taken from hPSC-derived NSCs that were exposed to CHIR99021 for differents amount of time (2-72hr) prior to retinoic acid treatment. Each time point is represented in triplicate, with the exception of 48 hours, for which one replicate (48_B1) was filtered due to excessive zero-count genes.

View SamplesA better understanding of molecular changes during oral tumorigenesis may help defining new personalized prevention strategies. In order to test this hypothesis, we analyzed whole-genome expression changes in a murine model of oral carcinogenesis, induced by an oral carcinogen (4-NQO)
The dynamics of gene expression changes in a mouse model of oral tumorigenesis may help refine prevention and treatment strategies in patients with oral cancer.

View SamplesMutant KRAS (mut-KRAS) is present in 30% of all human cancers and plays a critical role in cancer cell growth and resistance to therapy. There is evidence from colon cancer that mut-KRAS is a poor prognostic factor and negative predictor of patient response to molecularly targeted therapy. However, evidence for such a relationship in non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is conflicting. KRAS mutations are primarily found at codons 12 and 13, where different base changes lead to alternate amino acid substitutions that lock the protein in an active state. The patterns of mut-KRas amino acid substitutions in colon cancer and NSCLC are quite different, with aspartate (D) predominating in colon cancer (50%) and cysteine (C) in NSCLC (47%).

View SamplesThrombospondin 1 (TSP-1) is an anti-angiogenic matricellular protein with regulatory functions in inflammation and cancer. The type 1 repeats (TSR) domains of TSP-1 have been shown to interact with a wide range of proteins that result in the anti-angiogenic and anti-tumor properties of TSP-1. To evaluate potential therapeutic effects of TSRs in inflammatory bowel disease, we conducted clinical, histological and gene microarray analyses on a mouse model of induced colitis.

View SamplesRecent studies suggest that thousands of genes may contribute to breast cancer pathophysiologies when deregulated by genomic or epigenomic events. Here, we describe a model system to appraise the functional contributions of these genes to breast cancer subsets. In general, the recurrent genomic and transcriptional characteristics of 51 breast cancer cell lines mirror those of 145 primary breast tumors, although some significant differences are documented. The cell lines that comprise the system also exhibit the substantial genomic, transcriptional, and biological heterogeneity found in primary tumors. We show, using Trastuzumab (Herceptin) monotherapy as an example, that the system can be used to identify molecular features that predict or indicate response to targeted therapies or other physiological perturbations.

View SamplesING1b and GADD45a are nuclear proteins involved in the regulation of cell growth, apoptosis and DNA repair. We previously found that ING1b is required to target GADD45a-mediated active DNA-demethylation via TET1 to specific loci. In order to study the impact of ING1-GADD45a on gene expression, we compared the expression profile of wildtype mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) with Ing1- and Gadd45a- single- or double-knockout (DKO) MEFs. Overall design: Gene expression profiling in all 4 genotypes of undifferentiated MEFs in triplicates.

View SamplesTBI was induced with lateral fluid-percussion injury in adult male rats. Genome-wide RNA-seq of the perilesional cortex, ipsilateral thalamus and dorsal hippocampus was performed at 3 months post-TBI. The data highlighted chronic transcriptional changes, particularly, in the perilesional cortex and thalamus. Genes showing a significantly altered expression both in the cortex and thalamus were submitted to the LINCS web query to identify novel pharmacotherapies to improve post-TBI outcome. Overall design: TBI was induced to 5 rats, 5 sham operated served as a controls.
