Germinal center (CD19+Fas+GL7+) and naive (CD19+Fas-GL7-) B cells were sorted from Peyer''s patches of littermate 12 weeks old WT C57BL/6 mice. Three biological replicates were analyzed, each composed of a pool of 5 female mice. RNA was purified from pellets of 2-2.5x10^4 cells and sequencing libraries were prepared from 100ng of total RNA per replicate.

View SamplesPurpose: Asess the transcritpional changes induced upon RAB7 knock-down in melanoma (SK-Mel-28 and UACC-62) and in colon cancer (HCT-116) cell lines. Methods: mRNA profiles of tumor cell lines (SK-Mel-28, UACC-62, HCT-116) stably expressing scrambled shRNA or RAB7 shRNA (harvested at day 3 after lentiviral infection) were generated by deep sequencing, using three biological replicates per condition. The sequence reads that passed quality filters were analyzed with TopHat and Cufflinks. Validation of induced / silenced genes was performed by western blot. Results show a differential impact of RAB7 expression in the transcriptomic profile of melanoma vs non-melanoma cell lines, and support a lineage-specific role of this small GTPase in melanoma. Overall design: Examination of the mRNA profiles RAB7-depleted vs wild type cells, performed in parallel in 3 different tumor cell lines (Melanomas: SK-Mel-28 and UACC-62, Non-melanoma: HCT-116) harvested at day 3 after lentiviral infection.

Ascertaining the transcriptome differences between individuals is an important step to understand how selection and genetic drift may affect gene expression. To that end, extant divergent livestock breeds offer an ideal genetic material.

View SampleshCLE/C14orf166/RTRAF, DDX1 and HSPC117 are components of cytoplasmic mRNA-transporting granules kinesin-associated in dendrites. They have also been found in cytoplasmic ribosome-containing RNA granules that transport specific mRNAs halted for translation until specific neuronal signals renders them accessible to the translation machinery. hCLE associates to DDX1, HSPC117 and FAM98B in HEK293T cells and all four proteins bind to cap analog-containing resins. Competition and elution experiments indicate that binding of hCLE complex to cap resins is independent of eIF4E; the cap-binding factor needed for translation. Purified hCLE free of its associated proteins binds cap with low affinity suggesting that its interacting proteins modulate its cap association. hCLE silencing reduces hCLE accumulation and that of its interacting proteins and decreases mRNA translation. hCLE-associated RNAs have been isolated and sequenced; RNAs involved in mRNA translation are specifically associated. The data suggest a positive role of hCLE complex modulating mRNA translation. Overall design: Standard RNA-seq protocol was applied for comparing two sample types (HEK293T cells transfected with hCLE-TAP plasmid or empty TAP) with two biological replicates each. More than 20 million single-end, strand-specific 50 nt reads were generated for each sample.

View SamplesPurpose: The goal of this study is to compare the transcriptome profilling (RNA-seq) of inflorescences infected with tobacco ratle virus (TRV) to mock inoculated inflorescences (negative controls), in Arabidopsis plants Methods: Inflorescences of systemically TRV infected or mock-inoculated plants were collected from more than 40 independent Arabidopsis plants, at 14 days post-inoculation (dpi). TRV and mock mRNA profiles were generated by deep sequencing by Illumina HiSeq 2000. The sequence reads that passed quality filters (SOAPnuke) were analysed by Burrows-Wheeler (BWA) followed by ANOVA (ANOVA) and TopHat followed by Cufflinks. Genes and isoforms were quantified by RSEM sofware package. qRT-PCR validation was performed using TaqMan and SYBR Green assays. Results: Here we report a significant repression of DNA methylation genes in inflorescences of Arabidopsis plants infected with Tobacco rattle virus (TRV) that coincides with dynamic changes in methylation at the whole genome level. Arabidopsis mutants deficient in DNA methylation were more resistant to this virus in early colonized tissues but more susceptible at later time points of infection, indicating that DNA methylation was critical to control both proliferation and antiviral defense. We found that TRV interference with DNA methylation leads to changes in the methylation and trancriptional status of transposable elements (TEs), including TEs located in the promoter of disease resistance genes that were significantly repressed in plants exposed to TRV. Activation of both TEs and their nearby disease resistance genes was altered in a range of hypo- and hyper-methylated Arabidopsis mutants, indicating that perturbations in DNA methylation contributes to modulate their expression in infected plants. Conclussion: Our study showed that TRV interferes with DNA methylation to alter the transcriptional silencing of TEs, which in turn compromises the expression of neighboring disease resistance genes. Overall design: TRV and mock mRNA profiles were generated from Arabidopsis inflorescences by deep sequencing with Illumina HiSeq 2000.

View SamplesIn the present study we have studied the mechanistic and functional aspects of NCoR1 function in mouse skeletal muscle. NCoR1 muscle-specific knockout mice exhibited an increased oxidative metabolism. Global gene expression analysis revealed a high overlap between the effects of NCoR1 deletion and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) gamma coactivator 1alpha (PGC-1alpha) overexpression on oxidative metabolism in skeletal muscle. The repressive effect of NCoR1 on oxidative phosphorylation gene expression specifically antagonizes PGC-1alpha-mediated coactivation of ERRalpha. We therefore delineated the molecular mechanism by which a transcriptional network controlled by corepressor and coactivator proteins determines the metabolic properties of skeletal muscle, thus representing a potential therapeutic target for metabolic diseases.
The corepressor NCoR1 antagonizes PGC-1α and estrogen-related receptor α in the regulation of skeletal muscle function and oxidative metabolism.
