We examined the transcriptional effect of preventing cardiac contraction in zebrafish embryos which can be deprived of circulation without experiencing hypoxia since the fish obtain sufficient oxygen via diffusion. Morpholino antisense knockdown of cardiac troponin T2 (tnnt2) prevented cardiac contraction without affecting vascular development. We concluded that absence of hemodynamic force induces endothelial CXCR4a up-regulation and promotes recovery of blood flow.
Microarray profiling reveals CXCR4a is downregulated by blood flow in vivo and mediates collateral formation in zebrafish embryos.

View SamplesSevere loss-of-function alleles of DCL1 are embryonic lethal. Defects in cell division were seen as early as the globular stage in the strong loss-of-function allele dcl1-15. Phenotypic work with dcl1-15 and the null allele dcl1-5 suggested that, in addition to the severe patterning defects, the mutants were maturing earlier than wild-type embryos.

View Samples35 Melanoma cell lines hybridized to Affymetrix Hu133_Plus 2 microarrays were analysed for genes differentially expressed between cell lines carrying wild-type p14ARF and those with mutant 14ARF. All of these cell lines contained wild-type p53 (so that the effects of p14ARF mutations could be analysed without contamination from p53).
Gene expression profiling in melanoma identifies novel downstream effectors of p14ARF.

View SamplesOral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is a prevalent form of cancer that develops from the epithelium of the oral cavity. OSCC is on the rise worldwide, and death rates associated with the disease are particularly high. Despite progress in understanding of the mutational and expression landscape associated with OSCC, advances in deciphering these alterations for the development of therapeutic strategies have been limited. Further insight into the molecular cues that contribute to OSCC is therefore required. Here we show that the transcriptional regulators YAP (YAP1) and TAZ (WWTR1), which are key effectors of the Hippo pathway, drive pro-tumorigenic signals in OSCC. Regions of pre-malignant oral tissues exhibit aberrant nuclear YAP accumulation, suggesting that dysregulated YAP activity contributes to the onset of OSCC. Supporting this premise, we determined that nuclear YAP and TAZ activity drives OSCC cell proliferation, survival, and migration in vitro, and is required for OSCC tumor growth and metastasis in vivo. Global gene expression profiles associated with YAP and TAZ knockdown revealed changes in the control of gene expression implicated in pro-tumorigenic signaling, including those required for cell cycle progression and survival. Notably, the transcriptional signature regulated by YAP and TAZ significantly correlates with gene expression changes occurring in human OSCCs identified by The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), emphasizing a central role for YAP and TAZ in OSCC biology.

View SamplesWe sequence the transcriptomes of 86,024 single cells from C. elegans embryos, spanning from gastrulation to the beginning of cuticle synthesis. We identify the lineage (from the invariant C. elegans cell lineage) and approximate developmental age of each cell in the single cell data. Using these annotations, we investigate the competing influences of cell lineage and cell fate on gene expression. Overall design: Single cell RNA-seq profiles of cells from C. elegans embryos at varying developmental stages (~100-650 minutes post first cleavage). Please note that the GSM2599701 (in GSE98561) raw data was re-analyzed and the resulting (processed) data is linked to the GSM4318946 records, which is duplicated sample record of GSM2599701 (with the re-analysis details) for the convenient retrieval of the complete raw data from SRA.

View SamplesHere we describe sci-CAR, a combinatorial indexing strategy to jointly profile chromatin accessibility and mRNA in each of thousands of single cells. As a proof-of-concept, we apply sci-CAR to 4,825 cells comprising a time-series of dexamethasone treatment, as well as to 11,233 cells from the mouse kidney. Overall design: single cell RNA-seq and ATAC-seq co-profiling for HEK293T cells, NIH/3T3 cells, A549 cells across three treatment conditions (DEX 0 hour, 1 hour and 3 hour treatment), and wild type mouse kidney.
