Description
The adoptive transfer of chimeric antigen receptor- (CAR) modified T cells is revolutionizing the treatment of B cell malignancies and has the potential to be applied to other diseases. CARs redirect T cell specificity by linking an antigen recognition domain to T cell signaling modules comprised of CD3z to provide signal 1, and CD28 or 4-1BB to provide costimulation. CD28/CD3z and 4-1BB/CD3z CARs confer differences in effector function and cell fate that affect clinical efficacy and toxicity. These differences may result from activation of divergent transcriptional programs. To gain this insight, we analyzed changes in gene expression in stimulated and resting CD28/CD3z or 4-1BB/CD3z CAR T cells. CD28/CD3z CAR stimulation initiated more marked early transcriptional changes with greater fold increases in the expression of effector molecules including GZMB, IFNG, IL2, TNF, and IL6. Direct comparison of CD28/CD3z and 4-1BB/CD3z samples stimulated for 6 hours identified 1,673 differentially expressed genes. Of these, the memory T cell-associated genes KLF2, IL7R, and FAM65B were expressed at lower levels in CD28/CD3z CAR T cells. KLF2 and IL7R are FOXO transcription factor family targets and we found that FOXO4 expression was similarly reduced in CD28/CD3z CAR T cells. CD28/CD3z CAR stimulation induces an effector T cell-like transcriptional profile that may underlie the decreased persistence and increased risks of toxicities observed with CD28/CD3z CAR T cells in early clinical trials. Overall design: Purified CD28/CD3z and 4-1BB/CD3z CAR T cells were prepared from healthy donors and stimulated by incubation with anti-CAR beads, or left unstimulated by incubation with control beads. Total RNA was harvested 6 or 24 hours after treatment. Three biological replicates for each treatment condition were prepared, yielding 24 total samples for analysis. A42 and A44 denote 4-1BB/CD3z CARs, A43 and A45 denote CD28/CD3z CARs.

Description
Purpose: We generated extensive transcriptional and proteomic profiles from a Her2-driven mouse model of breast cancer that closely recapitulates human breast cancer. This report makes these data publicly available in raw and processed forms, as a resource to the community. Importantly, we previously made biospecimens from this same mouse model freely available through a sample repository, so researchers can obtain samples to test biological hypotheses without the need of breeding animals and collecting biospecimens.

Description
Deficiencies in the ATM gene are the underlying cause for ataxia telangiectasia, a congenital syndrome characterized by neurological, motor and immunological defects, as well as a predisposition to cancer risks. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small regulators of post-transcriptional gene expression and a useful tool for cancer diagnosis, staging, and prediction of therapeutic responses to clinical regimens. In particular, miRNAs have been used to develop signatures for breast cancer profiling. We are interested in the consequences of ATM deficiency on miRNA expression in breast epithelial cells and the potential contribution to cancer predisposition. In this study we investigate the effects of ATM loss on the miRNA expression and related gene expression changes in normal human mammary epithelial cells (HME-CC). We have identified 81 significantly differently expressed miRNAs in the ATM-deficient HME-CCs using small RNA sequencing. Many of these differentially expressed miRNAs have been described and implicated in tumorigenesis and proliferation. These changes include down-regulation of tumor suppressor miRNAs, such as hsa-miR-29c and hsa-miR-16, as well as the over-expression of pro-oncogenic miRNAs hsa-miR-93 and hsa-mir-221. All 81 miRNAs were combined with genome wide gene expression profiles to investigate possible targets of miRNA regulation. We identified messenger RNA (mRNA) targets of these miRNAs that were also significantly regulated after the depletion of ATM. Predicted targets included many genes implicated in cancer formation and progression, including SOCS1 and the proto-oncogene MAF. Integrated analysis of miRNA and mRNA expression allows us to build a more complete understanding of the pathways and networks involved in the breast cancer predisposition observed in individuals deficient in ATM. This study highlights miRNA and predicted mRNA target expression changes in ATM-deficient HME-CCs and suggests a mechanism for the breast cancer-prone phenotype seen in ATM deficient cells and patients. Additionally, this study provides preliminary data for defining miRNA profiles that may be used prognostic biomarkers for breast cancer predisposition. Overall design: Examination of small RNA population in human mammary epithelial cell lines. Each condition was preformed in triplicate.

Description
The objective of this set of samples is to identify genes that are differentially expressed following the introduction of DNA double strand breaks (DSBs) by ionizing radiation in wild-type murine pre-B cells. The data generated in this project will be compared to the data generated in GSE9024, in which genes that are differentially expressed following the introduction of DNA double strand breaks (DSBs) by the Rag proteins in murine pre-B cells were examined. In order to understand the differences between the physiologic and genotoxic responses to DSB DNA damage, we need to compare cells that are all in the same compartment of the cell cycle. We are therefore examining the response to IR-induced damage in cells that are arrested in G1, which would correspond to our previous study of G1 arrested cells with Rag-induced breaks. This will illuminate the difference directly, allowing us to better understand the signaling responses to the different types of DNA damage.

The objective is to identify genes that are differentially expressed following the introduction of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) by the Rag proteins in murine pre-B cells. Cells lacking Artemis are used since the Rag-induced DSBs will not be repaired, and thus, will provide a continuous stimulus to the cell.

Description
The use of calcineurin inhibitor (CI) immunosuppressants has significantly improved the early allograft survival rate in organ transplantation. However, CI therapy has been associated with chronic nephrotoxicity, which limits their long-term utility. In order to understand the mechanisms of the toxicity, we analyzed the gene expression changes that underlie the development of CI immunosuppressant-mediated nephrotoxicity, in male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats dosed daily with cyclosporine (CsA), FK506 or rapamycin (Rapa) for 1 to 28 days. We identified a group of genes, whose expression in rat kidney is quantitatively correlated with CI-induced kidney injury as observed in changes in blood urea nitrogen (BUN) levels and kidney histopathology. These genes include both up-regulated genes, such as Ren1 and Klks3, and down-regulated genes, such as Calb1, Egf, NCC, and kidney specific Wnk1 (KS-Wnk1). Using the down-regulated genes alone we successfully predicted CI immunosuppressant-mediated kidney injury in rats following 7 days of treatment. Among these genes are two mechanism-related genes, NCC and KS-Wnk1, both of which are involved in the sodium transport in the distal nephrons. The down-regulation of both genes at the mRNA and protein level in rat kidney following CI treatment was confirmed by quantitative RT-PCR and immunohistochemical staining, respectively. We hypothesize that decreased expression of NCC may cause reduced sodium chloride reabsorption in the distal tubules, and contribute to the prolonged activation of the Renin-Angiotensin-System (RAS), a demonstrated contributor to the development of CI-induced nephrotoxicity in both animal models and clinical settings. Therefore, NCC and KS-Wnk1 could potentially be used as biomarkers for early detection and prevention of CI-related nephrotoxicity in clinical practice.

Description
Two types of UCP1 positive cells-brown and beige adipocytes exist in mammals. Beige adipocytes are very plastic, and can be dynamically regulated by environment.Beige adipocytes formed postnatally in subcutaneous inguinal white adipose tissue (iWAT) lost thermogenic gene expression and multilocular morphology at adult stage, but cold could restore their “beigeing” characteristics, a phenomenon termed as beige adipocyte renaissance. Our results showed that beige cell maintenance and renaissance in adult mice were regulated by cAMP and HDAC4 signaling in white adipocytes non-cell autonomously. Genetic modulations of various components of this cAMP-HDAC4 cascade (e.g. LKB1) led to persistent browning and reduced adiposity independent of thermogenesis. To further study the mechanisms of beige adipocytes maintenance, we performed RNA-seq with samples from inguinal white adipose tissues of WT, AdipoqCre LKB1 F/F, and AdipoqCre LKB1 F/F; HDAC4 F/F mice.Our studies will move the beige adipocyte field forward and attract clinical applications to target beige adipocyte renaissance. Overall design: Samples were divided into 3 groups: inguinal white adipose tissues from WT, AdipoqCre LKB1 F/F, and AdipoqCre LKB1 F/F; HDAC4 F/F mice. 5 mice/group. cDNA libraries were prepared using Ovation RNA-seq Systems V2 and Ovation Ultralow Library Systems V2 (Nugen) and subjected to sequencing using HiSeq 2500 System (Illumina).

Description
Many thousand long non-coding (lnc) RNAs are mapped in the human genome. Time consuming studies using reverse genetic approaches by post-transcriptional knock-down or genetic modification of the locus demonstrated diverse biological functions for a few of these transcripts. The Human Gene Trap Mutant Collection in haploid KBM7 cells is a ready-to-use tool for studying protein-coding gene function. As lncRNAs show remarkable differences in RNA biology compared to protein-coding genes, it is unclear if this gene trap collection is useful for functional analysis of lncRNAs. Here we use the uncharacterized LOC100288798 lncRNA as a model to answer this question. Using public RNA-seq data we show that LOC100288798 is ubiquitously expressed, but inefficiently spliced. The minor spliced LOC100288798 isoforms are exported to the cytoplasm, whereas the major unspliced isoform is nuclear localized. This shows that LOC100288798 RNA biology differs markedly from typical mRNAs. De novo assembly from RNA-seq data suggests that LOC100288798 extends 289kb beyond its annotated 3'' end and overlaps the downstream SLC38A4 gene. Three cell lines with independent gene trap insertions in LOC100288798 were available from the KBM7 gene trap collection. RT-qPCR and RNA-seq confirmed successful lncRNA truncation and its extended length. Expression analysis from RNA-seq data shows significant deregulation of 41 protein-coding genes upon LOC100288798 truncation. Our data shows that gene trap collections in human haploid cell lines are useful tools to study lncRNAs, and identifies the previously uncharacterized LOC100288798 as a potential gene regulator. Overall design: We cultured and processed 8 KBM7 cell lines in one batch. These cell lines were: two wild type KBM7 cells (WT2 and WT3), two monoclonal KBM7 cell lines with gene trap cassette insertions outside of the body of LOC100288798 (C1 and C2), two independently obtained KBM7 clones with gene trap cassette insertion 3kb downstream LOC100288798 transcriptional start site (TSS) (3kb1 and 3kb2), one independently obtained KBM7 clone with gene trap cassette insertion 100kb downstream LOC100288798 TSS replicated twice at the thawing step (100kb1 and 100kb2). We isolated total RNA from all th 8 cell lines, applied DNAseI treatment and ribosomal RNA depletion, and thhen prepared strand-specific RNA-seq libraries, which were pooled in equal molarities and sequenced using Illumina HiSeq 2000 (8 pooled samples were sequence on 2 lanes). We performed 50bp single-end RNA-seq. We used these 8 samples (4 untreated: WT2, WT3, C1, C2 and 4 treated:3kb1, 3kb2, 100kbk1, 100kb2) to analyze genome-wide gene deregulation associated with LOC100288798 lncRNA truncation
