FOXO1 is highly expressed in normal B cells and in most types of non-Hodgkinl lymphoma. In Hodgkin and Reed-Sternberg cells of classical Hodgkin lymphoma(cHL) expression of FOXO1 is low or absent. We overexpressed constitutively active mutant of FOXO1 fused in frame with estrogen receptor ligand-binding domain (FOXO1(3A)ER), which can be activated by 4-Hydroxytamoxifen (4-OHT), in cHL cell lines KM-H2 and L428. Activation of the FOXO1 with 4-OHT resulted in inhibition of proliferation and apoptosis. Using gene-expression array we found that FOXO1 activates transcription of known and potential tumor suppressor genes: CDKN1B, PMAIP1, BCL2L11, TNFSF10, FBXO32, CBLB). Of note, FOXO1 repressed transcription of several cytokines and cytokine receptors, which are known tobe involved in pathogenesis of cHL (e.g. CCL5, CXCR5, TNFRSF8). Taken togather our data indicate important role of FOXO1 repression in pathogenesis of cHL.

View SamplesGliogenesis in the Drosophila CNS occurs during embryogenesis and also during the postembryonic larval stages. Several glial subtypes are generated in the postembryonic CNS through the proliferation of differentiated glial cells. The genes and molecular pathways that regulate glial proliferation in the postembryonic CNS are poorly understood. In this study we aimed to use gene expressing profiling of CNS tissue enriched in glia to identify genes expressed in glial cells in the postembryonic CNS.
Glial enriched gene expression profiling identifies novel factors regulating the proliferation of specific glial subtypes in the Drosophila brain.

View SamplesAblation of the mouse gene for Onecut-2 was reported previously, but characterization of the resulting knockout mice was focused on in utero development, principally embryonic development of liver and pancreas. Here, we examine postnatal development of these Onecut-2 knockout mice, especially the critical period prior to weaning. Microarray technology was used to determine the effect of Onecut-2 ablation on gene expression in duodenum, whose epithelium has among the highest levels of Onecut-2. A subset of intestinally expressed genes showed dramatically altered patterns of expression. Many of these genes encode proteins associated with the epithelial membrane, including many involved in transport and metabolism. Previously, we reported that Onecut-2 was critical to temporal regulation of the adenosine deaminase gene in duodenum. Many of the genes with altered patterns of expression in the Onecut-2 knockout mouse duodenum displayed changes in the timing of gene expression.
Onecut-2 knockout mice fail to thrive during early postnatal period and have altered patterns of gene expression in small intestine.

View SamplesPrimary human hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) isolated from healthy donors were purchased from Sciencell. They were preincubated with or without PF228 and stimulated with TGFbeta1 (5 ng/ml) for 24 hours. Cells were collected for RNA isolation and RNA sequencing. The goal of this study is to identify genes transcriptionally regulated by TGF-beta1 and FAK. There were 4 cell groups in the experiments: DMSO, DMSO+TGFbeta1, PF228, PF228+TGFbeta1. Overall design: There were 4 cell groups in the experiments: DMSO, DMSO+TGFbeta1, PF228, PF228+TGFbeta1, and each group had 3 repeats. So 12 RNA samples were sent to UMN genomic Center for RNA sequencing. 12 RNA samples were converted to Illumina sequencing libraries using Illumina's Truseq Stranded mRNA Sample Preparation Kit. Truseq libraries were then subjected to cluster using Illumina cBot instrument and sequencing using HiSeq2500

View SamplesWe compared four transcription factor knockdowns using transgenic RNAi expressed in the larval fat body. FOXO, Tfb1, p53, and Stat92E-dependent gene expression in the Drosophila fat body was quantified on control and high-sugar diets in order to generate expression profiles via RNA-seq. These expression data were used to build a gene regulatory network to predict novel roles for these and other genes during caloric overload. Overall design: Control and fat body-expressed transcription factor RNAi Drosophila were reared on control (0.15M sucrose) and high-sugar (0.7M or 1M sucrose) diets until the wandering stage. Fat bodies were isolated and RNA extracted to determine the effects of diet on gene expression using Illumina RNA-seq.

View SamplesChronic high sugar feeding induces obesity, hyperglycemia, and insulin resistance in flies and mammals. These phenotypes are controlled by the fat body, a liver- and adipose- like tissue in Drosophila flies. To gain insight into the mechanisms underlying the connection between diet and insulin sensitivity, we used Illumina RNA-seq to profile gene expression in fat bodies isolated from chronically high sugar fed, wandering (post-prandial) third instar wild type larvae w(L3). These data were compared to control-fed wild-type wL3 fat bodies as well as those expressing transgenic interfering RNA (i) targeting CG18362 (Mio/dChREBP) in the fat body on both diets. Overall design: Female VDRC w1118, cgGAL4, UAS-Dcr2 or UAS-ChREBPi(52606), cgGAL4, UAS-Dcr2 wandering third instar larvae were fed control (0.15M) or high (0.7M) sucrose and fat bodies isolated for RNA extraction.

View SamplesThe cell differentiation potential of 13-cis retinoic acid (RA) has not succeeded in the clinical treatment of glioblastoma (GBM) so far. However, RA may also induce the expression of disistance genes such as HOXB7 which can be suppressed by Thalidomide (THAL). Therefore, we tested if combined treatment with RA+THAL may inhibit growth of glioblastoma in vivo. Treatment with RA+THAL but not RA or THAL alone significantly inhibited tumour growth. The synergistic effect of RA and THAL was corroborated by the effect on proliferation of glioblastoma cell lines in vitro. HOXB7 was not upregulated but microarray analysis validated by real-time PCR identified four potential resistance genes (IL-8, HILDPA, IGFBPA, and ANGPTL4) whose upregulation by RA was suppressed by THAL. Furthermore, genes coding for small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNA) were identified as a target for RA for the first time, and their upregulation was maintained after combined treatment. Pathway analysis showed upregulation of the Ribosome pathway and downregulation of pathways associated with proliferation and inflammation. Combined treatment with RA + THAL delayed growth of GBM xenografts and suppressed putative resistance genes associated with hypoxia and angiogenesis. This encourages further pre-clinical and clinical studies of this drug combination in GBM.

View SamplesWe compared ecdysone receptor (EcR)-dependent gene expression in the Drosophila fat body on 0.15 M sucrose and 0.5 M sucrose high-sugar diets in order to gain insight into the role of this gene during caloric overload. Phenotypic analyses showed an increased severity of EcR RNAi phenotypes with increasing dietary sugar concentration. Because EcR is a transcription factor, we performed RNA-seq studies to identify transcriptional targets that might underlie insulin resistance downstream of EcR RNAi. Overall design: Control and fat body-expressed EcR RNAi Drosophila were reared on control (0.15 M sucrose) and high-sugar (0.5 M sucrose) diets until the wandering stage. Fat bodies were isolated and RNA extracted to determine the effects of diet on gene expression using Illumina RNA-seq.

View SamplesWe compared Seven-up-dependent gene expression in the Drosophila fat body on control and high-sugar diets in order to gain insight into the role of this gene during caloric overload. Phenotypic analyses showed an increased severity of Seven-up RNAi phenotypes with increasing dietary sugar concentration. Because Seven-up is a transcription factor, we performed RNA-seq studies to identify transcriptional targets that might underlie insulin resistance downstream of Seven-up RNAi. Our data support a model where Seven-up promotes insulin signaling by inhibiting ecdysone receptor target gene expression. Overall design: Control and fat body-expressed Seven-up RNAi Drosophila were reared on control (0.15M sucrose) and high-sugar (0.7M sucrose) diets until the wandering stage. Fat bodies were isolated and RNA extracted to determine the effects of diet on gene expression using Illumina RNA-seq.
