Description
Whsc1 gene codes for a SET domain-containing H3K36 dimethylase, whose activity has been suggested, in ex vivo cell culture experiments, to control many aspects of DNA and RNA processing (replication, repair, transcription, etc). Its precise function in vivo is still unclear. Here, we use RNA-seq transcriptome analysis to study the changes in gene expression in the absence of Whsc1. Our results show that, in the experimental system used, loss of Whsc1 caused massive changes in genes affecting many fundamental cellular processes, from cell cycle to ribosome synthesis, DNA repair, replication, etc. Overall design: Whsc1-KO mice are embryonic lethal. We therefore took hematopoietic cells from fetal liver of WT and Whsc1-KO embryo littermates and injected them in to lethally irradiated RAG1-KO recipients and allowed the generation of a full Whsc1-KO hematopoietic system. Then, WT and Whsc1-KO B cells were obtained from the spleen and stimulated with LPS to induce proliferation and class switch recombination. Flow cytometry and cell cycle analyses (among others) showed the existence of serious proliferative alterations in Whsc1-KO cells. Then, we performed paired-end RNAseq analyses of 7 independent WT and 6 independent Whsc1-KO biological replicates and we used these data to identify differentially expressed genes and pathways regulated by Whsc1 in B cells.

Affymetrix Mouse Gene 1.0 ST Array (mogene10st), Illumina Genome Analyzer II
Description
Skeletal muscle tissue shows an extraordinary cellular plasticity, but the underlying molecular mechanisms are still poorly understood. Here we use a combination of experimental and computational approaches to unravel the complex transcriptional network of muscle cell plasticity centered on the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor coactivator 1 (PGC-1), a regulatory nexus in endurance training adaptation. By integrating data on genome-wide binding of PGC-1 and gene expression upon PGC-1 over-expression with comprehensive computational prediction of transcription factor binding sites (TFBSs), we uncover a hitherto underestimated number of transcription factor partners involved in mediating PGC-1 action. In particular, principal component analysis of TFBSs at PGC-1 binding regions predicts that, besides the well-known role of the estrogen-related receptor (ERR), the activator protein-1 complex (AP-1) plays a major role in regulating the PGC-1-controlled gene program of hypoxia response. Our findings thus reveal the complex transcriptional network of muscle cell plasticity controlled by PGC-1.

Affymetrix Mouse Gene 1.0 ST Array (mogene10st)
Description
The peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor co-activator 1 (PGC-1) coordinates the transcriptional network response to promote an improved endurance capacity in skeletal muscle, e.g. by co-activating the estrogen-related receptor (ERR) in the regulation of oxidative substrate metabolism. Despite a close functional relationship, the interaction between these two proteins has not been studied on a genomic level. We now mapped the genome-wide binding of ERR to DNA in skeletal muscle cell line with elevated PGC-1 and linked the DNA recruitment to global PGC-1 target gene regulation. We found that, surprisingly, ERR co-activation by PGC-1 is only observed in the minority of all PGC-1 recruitment sites. Nevertheless, a majority of PGC-1 target gene expression is dependent on ERR. Intriguingly, the interaction between these two proteins is controlled by the genomic context of response elements, in particular the relative GC and CpG content, monomeric and dimeric repeat binding site configuration for ERR, and adjacent recruitment of the transcription factor SP1. These findings thus not only reveal an unprecedented insight into the regulatory network underlying muscle cell plasticity, but also strongly link the genomic context of DNA response elements to control transcription factor - co-regulator interactions.

- Affymetrix Chicken Genome Array (chicken)
Description
The patterning of the facial midline involves early specification of neural crest cells to form skeletal tissues that support the upper jaw . In order to understand the molecular mechanisms involved we have taken advantage of a beak duplication model developed in the chicken embryo. Here we can induce the transformation of the side of the beak into a second midline that is easily identifiable by the formation of a supernumerary egg tooth. The phenotype is induced by implanting two microscopic beads, one soaked in retinoic acid and the other soaked in Noggin into the side of the head of the chicken embryo. Here we use microarrays to profile expression of maxillary mesenchyme 16h after placing the beads. A subset of genes were validated using in situ hybridization and QPCR. The aims of the study are to test the function of these genes using retroviral transgenesis, knockdown with morpholinos or expression of secreted proteins and their application to the embryo.
