p63 mutations have been associated with several human hereditary disorders characterized by ectodermal dysplasia such as EEC syndrome, ADULT syndrome and AEC syndrome . The location and functional effects of the mutations that underlie these syndromes reveal a striking genotype-phenotype correlation. Unlike EEC and ADULT that result from missense mutations in the DNA-binding domain of p63, AEC is solely caused by missense mutations in the SAM domain of p63. We report a study on the TAp63a isoform, the first to be expressed during development of the embryonic epithelia, and on its naturally occurring Q540L mutant derived from an AEC patient. To assess the effects of the Q540L mutation, we generated stable cell lines expressing TAp63a wt, DeltaNp63 alpha or the TAp63 alpha-Q540L mutant protein and used them to systematically compare the cell growth regulatory activity of the mutant and wt p63 proteins and to generate, by microarray analysis, a comprehensive profile of differential gene expression. We found that the Q540L substitution impairs the transcriptional activity of TAp63a and causes misregulation of genes involved in the control of cell growth and epidermal differentiation.
The Hay Wells syndrome-derived TAp63alphaQ540L mutant has impaired transcriptional and cell growth regulatory activity.

Infection with hepatitis C virus depends on TACSTD2, a regulator of claudin-1 and occludin highly downregulated in hepatocellular carcinoma.

View SamplesOur study identifies TACSTD2 as a novel regulator of two major HCV entry factors, CLDN1 and OCLN, which is strongly downregulated in malignant hepatocytes. These results provide new insights into the complex process of HCV entry into hepatocytes and may assist in the development of more efficient cellular systems for HCV propagation in vitro.

View SamplesPurpose: To characterize transcriptional changes associated with homozygous inactivation of Dot1l or Mll1 in MN1 driven AML Methods: We sequenced mRNA from murine LSK-cells transformed using forced expression of MN1 (MSCV-MN1-IRES-GFP), and transduced with Cre-vector to inactivate either Dot1l or Mll1. Cells were sorted for Cre-expression (pTomato fluorescent marker) or expression of an inert control vector. Results: Inactivation of either Dot1l or Mll1 in this model leads to a substantial delay or complete abrogation of leukemia development.Loss of Dot1l or Mll1 are associated with gene expression changes that have substantial overlap. In addition, genes that are downregulated follwing inactivation of Dot1l or Mll1 have substantial overlap with the gene set upregulated in MN1 transduced CMPs. Conclusions: MN1 mediated leukemogenesis is associated with a gene expression program that dependes on Mll1 and Dot1l Overall design: Examination of mRNA levels between Dot1l f/f and Dot1l ko, and Mll1 f/f and Mll1 ko.

View SamplesTo investigate the role of viral and host factors in acute liver failure, we analyzed serum and multiple liver specimens obtained at the time of liver transplantation from four well-characterized patients. We carried out an integrated clinicopathological analysis, gene and microRNA expression profiling, next-generation sequencing, antibody-displaying phage libraries, and in vitro functional analysis of HBV variants.

View SamplesAnalysis of gene expression over serial 150um sections of a single gestational week 14.5 human neocortical specimen. The hypothesis tested with this dataset was that a transcriptional signature of radial glia (neural stem cells) could be isolated via unsupervised gene coexpression analysis due to variation in the abundance of this cell type from section to section. This dataset is the first of its kind generated using this method (Gene Coexpression Analysis of Serial Sections, or GCASS).

View SamplesThermal injury incites inflammatory responses that often transcend the local environment and lead to structural deficiencies in skin that give way to scar formation. We hypothesized that extensive perturbations within burned skin following thermal insult and during subsequent events of wound repair induce vast alterations in gene expression that likely serve as a wound and systemic healing deterrent. A high-throughput microarray experiment was designed to analyze genetic expression patterns and identify potential genes to target for therapeutic augmentation or silencing. The study compares gene expression from burn wound margins at various times following thermal injury to expression observed in normal skin. Utilizing this design, we report that the totality of gene expression alterations is indeed enormous. Further, we observed that the differential expression of many inflammatory and immune response genes appear to be continually up-regulated in burn wound margins seven days or more after initial thermal insult. As it is well established that the inflammatory process must abate for wound healing to proceed, the finding of ongoing local inflammation is cause for further investigation. To our knowledge, this is the first report of the gene expression alterations induced by thermal injury of human skin. As such, it provides a wealth of data to mine with the ultimate goal of better understanding the local pathophysiologic changes at the site of thermal injury that not only affect wound healing capacity, but may also contribute to systemic derangements within the burn patient.
