View SamplesThe aim of the project was to characterize the transcriptional landscape of human HUVEC cells exposed to oxidative stress (oxstress). In order to do so cell cultures have been exposed to 200uM H2O2 for either 16 hours or 36 hours to induce oxstress. Total ribodepleted RNA obtained from both time points have been sequenced and small RNA for the 16 hours time point have been sequenced as well. Datasets have been characterized and overlapped. This entry contains the dataset of small RNA. Overall design: Two conditions are available: control untreated HUVEC cells and HUVEC cells exposed to 200uM H2O2 for 16 hours. Each condition is available in triplicate. All samples underwent two unpooled rounds of sequencing, for a total of 24 samples.

View SamplesBP and ER encode proteins that act synergistically to regulate Arabidopsis inflorescence architecture. To search for genes/proteins that influence the BP/ER signaling pathways, we conducted mutagenesis of the bp er double mutant and found that a mutation in FILAMENTOUS FLOWER (FIL) suppresses many of the morphological/developmental defects in bp er. Given that FIL encodes a Zn-finger containing transcription factor, microarray analysis was conducted on bp er vs. the bp er fil line to identify genes that are misregulated and which might implicate specific genes/proteins/pathways that are involved in regulating inflorescence development.

View SamplesDirect reprogramming of human fibroblasts to a pluripotent state has been achieved through ectopic expression of the transcription factors OCT4, SOX2, and either cMYC and KLF4 or NANOG and LIN28. Little is known, however, about the mechanisms by which reprogramming occurs, which is in part limited by the low efficiency of conversion. To this end, we sought to create a doxycycline-inducible lentiviral system to convert primary human fibroblasts and keratinocytes into human induced pluripotent stem (hiPS) cells. hiPS cells generated with this system were molecularly and functionally similar to human embryonic stem (hES) cells, demonstrated by gene expression profiles, DNA methylation status, and differentiation potential. While expression of the viral transgenes was required for several weeks in fibroblasts, we found that 10 days was sufficient for the reprogramming of keratinocytes, suggesting that the kinetics of reprogramming are cell-type dependent. Using our inducible system, we developed a strategy to induce hiPS cell formation at high frequency by generating differentiated cells that contain the viral transgenes in a pattern that enables successful induction of pluripotency. Upon addition of doxycycline to differentiated hiPS-derived cells, we obtained secondary hiPS cells at a frequency at least 100-fold greater than the initial conversion. The ability to reprogram cells with high efficiency provides a unique platform to dissect the underlying molecular and biochemical processes that accompany nuclear reprogramming.

View Samplesß1-integrin is the major ß-integrin subunit expressed in both lens epithelial and fiber cells. Our previous research indicated that ß1-integrin is essential for the maintenance of lens epithelial integrity and survival in late embryonic lens development (Simirskii et al, 2009). Lack of ß1-integrin in the lens will lead to severe micropthalmia and lack of lens in adult mice. In order to study the mechanisms involved, high throughput RNA sequencing (RNAseq) was performed to determine the genes that are differentially expressed between E15.5 wild type (WT) lenses and lenses that lack ß1-integrin expression due to the action of MLR10 CRE (ß1-cKO). The methodology used here is similar to the other RNAseq experiments that were previously performed in our lab (Manthey et al., 2014a and Audette et al, 2015) (Geo accession: GSE 49949 and GSE69940) . Meanwhile, the filtering criteria and processing procedures were also published (Manthey et al., 2014b). Compared to WT, 120 genes were found to be differentially expressed in ß1-cKO lenses. Moreover, bioinformatics tools (DAVID (the database for Annotation, Visulization and Integrated Discovery), and PANTHER (Protein Analysis through Evolutionary Relationship) classification system) as well as manual literature searching was applied for further data analysis. It showed that genes involved in EMT and stress-responses were differentially expressed in ß1-cKO compared to that of WT. Description of filtering criteria: To identify the differentially expressed genes, pair-wise qCML method exact tests with a Benjamini Hochberg false discovery rate correction greater than the threshold of P<0.05 was applied, which identified 5120 genes. As previously described (Manthey et al., 2014b), most of the genes differentially expressed between inbred C57Bl/6 <har> and mice with a mixed background were below a threshold of 2.5 fold change. Therefore, all differentially expressed genes with a less than 2.5 fold change were filtered out. Further, genes whose expression level were not high enough to be biologically significant were also filtered out, based on the RPMK (Reads per Kilobase per million reads) value. Any gene in the final list has RPKM greater that 2 in either WT or ß1-cKO samples, a value that corresponds to approximately 1 mRNA molecule per cell. By applying a combination of these filtering criteria, 120 differentially expressed genes were found, which could potentially elucidate the molecular connections between conditional deletion of ß1-intergrin from the lens and the observed phenotypic abnormalities.
