RNA from A673 cells with shRNA-mediated knockdown of GFP (4 libraries), EWS-FLI1 (4 libraries), or lnc277 (7 libraries) was isolated with TRIzol (Invitrogen). Each sample was DNase treated and further purified on an RNeasy Mini column (Qiagen) before quality analysis on an Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer. For each sample, 100-150ng of RNA was synthesized into cDNA, sheared on a Covaris ultrasonicator, and amplified using the NuGen Encore Complete kit (NuGen) to produce strand-specific and rRNA-depleted libraries. Samples were multiplexed (4/lane) for 2x100bp paired-end sequencing on an Illumina HiSeq 2000 Overall design: RNA from A673 cells with shRNA-mediated knockdown of GFP (4 libraries), EWS-FLI1 (4 libraries), or lnc277 (7 libraries) was isolated with TRIzol (Invitrogen).

View SamplesEwing sarcoma is a highly aggressive tumor characterized by a translocation between members of the FET family of RNA binding proteins and one of several ETS transcription factors, with the most common translocation being EWS-FLI1. EWS-FLI1 leads to changes in gene expression through mechanisms that are not completely understood. We performed RNA sequencing analysis on primary pediatric human mesenchymal progenitor cells (pMPCs) expressing EWS-FLI1 in order to identify novel target genes. This analysis identified lnc277 as a previously uncharacterized long non-coding RNA upregulated by EWS-FLI1 in pMPCs. Inhibiting the expression of lnc277 diminished the ability of Ewing sarcoma cell lines to proliferate and form colonies in soft agar whereas inhibiting lnc277 had no effect on other cell types tested. By analyzing gene expression after shRNA knockdown, we found that both EWS-FLI1 and lnc277 repressed many more genes that they induced and that a significant fraction of EWS-FLI1 repressed targets were also repressed by lnc277. Analysis of primary human Ewing sarcoma RNA sequencing data further supports a role for lnc277 in mediating gene repression. We identified hnRNPK as an RNA binding protein that interacts directly with lnc277. We found a significant overlap in the genes repressed by hnRNPK and those repressed by both EWS-FLI1 and lnc277, suggesting that hnRNPK participates in lnc277 mediated gene repression. Thus, lnc277 is a previously uncharacterized long non-coding RNA downstream of EWS-FLI1 that facilitates the development of Ewing sarcoma via the repression of target genes. Our studies identify a novel mechanism of oncogenesis downstream of a chromosomal translocation and underscore the importance of lncRNA-mediated gene repression as a mechanism of EWS-FLI1 transcriptional regulation. Overall design: RNA from primary human bone marrow derived mesenchymal cells either control or with inducible expression of EWS-FLI1 for 13 days was used to prepare PolyA selected cDNA libraries.

View SamplesThe emergence of multidrug resistant (MDR) Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) strains, resistant to the frontline anti-tubercular drugs rifampicin and isoniazid, forces treatment with less effective and toxic second-line drugs and stands to derail TB control efforts. However, the immune response to MDR Mtb infection remains poorly understood. Here, we determined the RNA transcriptional profile of in vitro generated macrophages to infection with either drug susceptible Mtb HN878 or MDR Mtb W_7642 infection. Overall design: Bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) from WT and Il1r1–/– mice were derived in 7 days in GM-CSF supplemented complete DMEM. Cells were infected with either Mtb HN878 or Mtb W_7642 (multiplicity of infection = 1) and RNA samples collected after 6 days.

View SamplesJuvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is the most common chronic childhood rheumatic disease in the Western world. To identify novel JIA predisposing loci, a genome-wide association study (GWAS) in 814 Caucasian JIA cases and 3058 Caucasian controls was completed. After adjusting for the most significant HLA associations, the strongest novel associations included rs6479891 (10q21, odds ratio (OR)=1.59, P=1.3x10-8) and rs10761747 (OR=1.34, P=4.0x10-5) within JMJD1C; rs12719740 (15q26, OR=1.47, P=3.3x10-7) near FAM169B; rs4688011 (3q13, OR=1.33, P=1.1x10-4) within C3orf1 and rs4254850 (4q31, OR=0.85, P=7.8x10-3) near IL15. Eleven SNPs were genotyped in Caucasian replication cohorts (1744 cases, 7010 controls) and meta-analysis continued to provide evidence for association with three of the SNPs (rs6479891, P=4.3x10-5; rs12719740, P=5.2x10-4; rs4688011, P=3.6x10-7). Analysis of expression data from 68 JIA cases and 23 controls overlapping in the GWAS cohort1 and published lymphoblastoid cell lines (LCL)2 showed cis eQTL associations for JMJD1C SNPs (P=0.01 and P=1.6x10-6, respectively), and the C3orf1 SNP (P=5.7x10-6).

View SamplesUpon G1-S transition, cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) phosphorylate the retinoblastoma tumor suppressor protein (pRB) to release E2F transcription factors, which activate transcriptional programs, required for S-phase entry. Beyond the G1-S transition, pRB activity remains poorly understood. Our lab has discovered that pRB retains exclusive binding to E2F1 through an alternate E2F1-specific binding site at the pRB c-terminus independent of CDK phosphorylation. We have developed a gene-targeted mouse model that is defective for the E2F1-specific interaction. We are exploring the function of this complex through genome-wide binding and expression profiling. Overall, this work suggests an alternate pRB-E2F1 complex persists independent of CDK phosphorylation to establish regions of constitutive heterochromatin

Beyond the G1-S transition, pRB activity remains poorly understood. Our lab has discovered that hyperphosphorylated pRB (ppRB), found beyond G1, retains exclusive binding to E2F1 through an alternate E2F1-‘specific’ binding site at the pRB c-terminus. We have developed a gene-targeted mouse model that is defective for the E2F1-‘specific’ interaction. We are exploring the function of this complex through genome-wide expression profiling. Overall, this work suggests an alternate pRB-E2F1 complex persists beyond the G1-S transition to establish regions of constitutive heterochromatin. Overall design: 1. Total RNA from passage 4 quiescent MEFs isolated using TRIzol RNA extraction protocol 2. rRNA was depleted from total RNA using the RiboMinus Euk System V2 protocol according to manufacturer’s procotol 3. rRNA-depleted RNA samples were submitted for picoanalyzer analysis to determine concentration, purity, and rRNA content 4. Three wild-type and three mutant RNA samples with <10% rRNA remaining were submitted for library construction 5. Library was used for Illumina HiSeq 2500 paired end sequencing.
