The CDKN2A/B locus at 9p21.3 contains crucial tumor suppressors (P16, P14, and P15) and oncogenic lncRNA ANRIL genes. This locus is most frequently inactivated in cancer genomes by deletion and DNA methylation. However, the mechanisms coordinately regulating their expression level are far from clear. In the present study, a novel lncRNA, P14AS, was characterized in the antisense strand of the fragment near CDKN2A in human cell lines using CDKN2A-specific probe captured RNA-sequencing (RNACap-Seq). Overall design: RNAs were characterized in the antisense strand of the fragment near CDKN2A in human cell lines using CDKN2A-specific probe captured RNA-sequencing (RNACap-Seq).

View SamplesIn the adult mouse, distinct morphological and transcriptional differences separate stomach from intestinal epithelium. Remarkably, the epithelial boundary between these two organs is literally one cell thick. This discrete junction is established suddenly and precisely at embryonic day (E) 16.5, by sharpening a previously diffuse intermediate zone. In the present study, we define the dynamic transcriptome of stomach, pylorus and intestinal tissues between E14.5 and E16.5. We show that establishment of this boundary is concomitant with the induction of over a thousand genes in intestinal epithelium, and these gene products provide intestinal character. Hence, we call this process intestinalization. We identify specific transcription factors (Hnf4g, Creb3l3 and Tcfec) and examine signaling pathways (Hedgehog and Wnt) that may play a role in this process. Finally, we define a unique expression domain at the pylorus itself and detect novel pylorus-specific patterns for the transcription factor Gata3 and the secreted protein nephrocan.

View SamplesIn this study, we employed the Illumina Genome Analyzer platform to perform a Digital Gene Expression (DGE) analysis of the peritoneal macrophages genome-wide transcriptome response to B.melitensis infection. Common changes in gene expression were observed among Brucella app. infected macrophages suggesting similar strategies were employed for their survival and replication, inducing anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic. A total of 1019 differentially expressed (DE) transcripts were identified in the macrophages 4 hours after differ virluent B.melitensis infection, especially genes participated lysosome pathway and MAPK pathway. Our findings demonstrate previously unrecognized changes in gene transcription that are associated with B.melitensis infection in the macrophages, and many significant pathways (cascades) identified in the study clearly merit further investigation. Our data provide new clues to understand the molecular attenuation mechanism of M5-90 and a firm foundation for reducing vaccine residual virulence, enhancing vaccine efficacy. Overall design: Examination oftwo peritoneal macrophages infected brucella and one blank control.

View SamplesTriple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) represents a highly aggressive form of breast cancer with limited treatment options. Proinflammatory cytokines such as TNFalpha can facilitate tumor progression and metastasis. However, our knowledge of the molecular mechanisms underlying TNBC progression mediated by inflammation is still limited. Here, we define the AP-1 transcription factor c-Jun cistrome, which is comprised of 13800 binding sites responsive to TNFalpha-induced signaling in TNBC cells. In addition, we show that c-Jun regulates nearly a third of the TNFalpha-elicited transcriptome. Expression of the c-Jun-regulated pro-invasion gene program is strongly associated with clinical outcomes in TNBCs. Mechanistically, we demonstrate that c-Jun drives TNFalpha-mediated TNBC tumorigenicity by transcriptional regulation of Ninj1. As exemplified by the c-Jun bound CXC chemokine genes clustered on chromosome 4, we demonstrate that NF-kB might be a pioneer factor and is required for the regulation of TNFalpha-inducible inflammatory genes, whereas c-Jun has little effect. Together, our results uncover AP-1 as an important determinant for inflammation-induced cancer progression, rather than inflammatory response.

View SamplesThe restoration of catalytic activity to mutant enzymes by small molecules is well-established for in vitro systems. Here we show that the protein tyrosine kinase Src R388A mutant can be rescued in live cells using the small molecule imidazole. Cellular rescue of a v-Src homolog was rapid and reversible and conferred predicted oncogenic properties. Using chemical rescue in combination with mass spectrometry, six known Src kinase substrates were confirmed, and several new protein targets identified. Chemical rescue data suggests that c-Src is active under basal conditions. Rescue of R388A c-Src also allowed contributions of Src to the MAP kinase pathway to be clarified. This chemical rescue approach is likely to be of broad utility in cell signaling.

View SamplesWe report the differential roles of an HDAC inhibitor-TSA during hESC nerual commitment. In the initiation of hESC differentiation, TSA could inhibit the downregulation of pluripotency genes to maintain pluripotency, whereas in the neural commitment stage, TSA could promote neural gene expression to assist hESC nerual determination. Overall design: Examination of gene expression patterns in hESCs, day 4 or day 8 differentiated cells without or with TSA treatment

View SamplesA-to-I RNA editing levels differ across tissues and cell types, but regulators of the editing process are largely unknown. We used RNA-seq on whole fly brains with different RNA binding proteins knocked down to test for A-to-I RNA editing level differences between controls and knockdowns. Overall design: To screen for editing regulators in the Drosophila brain, we crossed a pan-neuronal Gal4 driver, C155-Gal4, to different UAS-shRNA lines targeting individual RNA binding proteins, extracted RNA and made RNA-seq libraries. We sequenced four total replicates of shGFP controls and two replicates of all RNA binding protein knockdowns.
