Identification of distinct changes in gene expression after modulation of melanoma tumor antigen p97 (melanotransferrin) in multiple models in vitro and in vivo.
Cell line
View SamplesMelanoma tumor antigen p97 or melanotransferrin (MTf) is an iron (Fe)-binding protein with high homology to serum transferrin. MTf is expressed at very low levels in normal tissues and in high amounts in melanoma cells. The over-expression of MTf in tumor cells was hypothesized to assist rapidly proliferating neoplastic cells with their increased Fe requirements. However, our recent characterization of the MTf knockout (MTf -/-) mouse demonstrated that MTf did not have an essential role in Fe metabolism. To understand the function of MTf, we utilized whole-genome microarray analysis to examine the gene expression profile of five models after modulating MTf expression. These models included two new stably transfected MTf hyper-expression models (SK-N-MC neuroepithelioma and LMTK- fibroblasts) and one cell type (SK-Mel-28 melanoma) where MTf was down-regulated by post-transcriptional gene silencing. These findings were compared to alterations in gene expression identified using the MTf -/- mouse. In addition, the changes identified from the gene array data were also assessed in a new model of MTf down-regulation in SK-Mel-2 melanoma cells. In the cell line models, MTf hyper-expression led to increased cellular proliferation, while MTf down-regulation resulted in decreased proliferation. Across all five models of MTf down- and up-regulation, we identified three genes modulated by MTf expression. These included ATP-binding cassette sub-family B member 5 (Abcb5), whose change in expression mirrored MTf down- or up-regulation. In addition, thiamine triphosphatase (Thtpa) and transcription factor 4 (Tcf4) were inversely expressed relative to MTf levels across all five models. The products of these three genes are involved in membrane transport, thiamine phosphorylation and cell proliferation/survival, respectively. This study identifies novel molecular targets directly or indirectly regulated by MTf and potential pathways involved in its function. These molecular targets could be involved, at least in part, to the role of MTf in modulating proliferation.

View SamplesThis study examines the regulatory capacity of the Piwi protein in the Drosophila OSS cell. Piwi CLIP-Seq, mRNA-Seq and nascent RNAseq datasets were integrated to determine how Piwi proteins where using piRNAs and binding interactions to regulate the expression of transcripts. We also sequenced the genomes of various OSS cell lines. Overall design: We first performed several replicates of a Piw CLIP-Seq experiment to isolate RNA fragments as CLIP-tags to discover which transcripts are preferentially bound by the Piwi protein. Then we performed several types of mRNA expression profiling experiments using several forms of mRNA-Seq library construction formats. Finally, we sequenced the genomes from various OSS cell lines. The genomic sequencing component of the study is represented by BioProject PRJNA240323. The genomic sequencing raw data have been deposited at SRA (SRP039565).

View SamplesPurpose: The goal was to capture the transcriptional activity due to over-expression of HER2 protein. We profiled this transcriptional activity using two different RNA-Seq alignment and quantification pipelines. We also used these samples to generate a gene expression signature of HER2 pathway activity. Over-expression was validated using Western blots. Illumina RNA-Seq technology was used to capture the downstream transcriptional activity. Reads were 101 base pairs long and single ended. An R open source package “Rsubread” was used to align and quantify the read using UCSC hg19 annotation. The integer-based gene counts were later normalized in FPKM and TPM . Overall design: A profile of gene expression, downstream of ERBB2/HER2 over-expression, was generated in cells derived from breast and used to generate a gene-expression signature reflective of HER2 pathway activation status.

View SamplesIron-deficiency affects 500 million people, yet the molecular role of iron in gene expression remains poorly characterized. Moreover, the alterations in global gene expression after iron chelation remains unclear and are important to assess for understanding the molecular pathology of iron-deficiency and the biological effects of iron chelators. We assessed the effect on whole genome gene expression of two iron chelators (desferrioxamine and 2-hydroxy-1-napthylaldehyde isonicotinoyl hydrazone) that have markedly different permeability properties. Sixteen genes were significantly regulated by both chelators, while a further 50 genes were regulated by either ligand. Most of the genes identified in this study have not been previously described to be iron-regulated and are important for understanding the molecular and cellular effects of iron-deficiency.

View SamplesAn auxin-binding protein (Abp57) was previously isolated from rice and known to activate plasma membrane proton ATPase. The Abp57 function was characterised by overexpression in the rice and Arabidopsis. The transgene expression was driven by constitutive promoter, CaMV35S. Results from physiological experiments showed that the transgenic lines were tolerant to drought and salinity stress.
