View SamplesMicroarrays were used to examine gene expression changes that may be present in the fallopian tube epithelium of morphologically normal BRCA1 mutation positive and negative subjects. Fallopian tube epithelia has been implicated as an early point of origin for serous carcninoma. By examining the early events present in the microenvironment of this tissue between BRCA1 mutation carriers and non-carriers, we hoped to elucidate mechanisms that may lead to the development of epithelial ovarian cancer.

View SamplesThis scRNA-seq data is an integral part of a manuscript with the above title. Using computational methods, we were able to reconstruct a detailed branched trajectory reflecting pancreatic endocrine differentiation in the mouse embryo. Analysis of the transcriptional changes occuring during the differentiation suggested that epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition likely plays no role in this process, contrary to the prevailing dogma. Our findings were corroborated with high-resolution imaging of the developing pancreas, revealing how differentiating endocrine progenitors migrate in cohesion, forming bud-like islet precursors, or "peninsulas", and that spatiotemporal collinearity during differentiation leads to the typical core-mantle architecture of the mature, spherical islet. This work led to a complete overhaul of our understanding of how pancreatic islets are developed, laying the ground for the generation of entire islets in vitro as a potential novel source of islet transplantation. Overall design: Single-cell suspensions were prepared from pancreata of Neurogenin 3-eGFP mouse embryos sacrificed at different days of embryonic development. Single eGFP-positive cells were FACS-sorted into 96-well plates, and single-cell cDNA was prepared using the SMART-seq protocol. Single-cell sequencing libraries were generated using the Nextera XT DNA library preparation kit and sequenced on an Illumina HiSeq sequencer. Reads were aligned to the mouse reference genome build mm10 with TopHat, and single-cell gene expression profiles were computed using Cufflinks.

View SamplesThe aim of this study was to minimize the number of candidate genes responsible for salt tolerance between a pair of rice varieties (CSR27 and MI48) with contrasting level of salt tolerance by bulked segregant analysis of their recombinant inbred lines. Microarray analysis of RNA extracted from the tolerant and susceptible parents without and with stress showed 798 and 2407 differentially expressed genes, respectively. The number of differentially expressed genes was drastically reduced to 70 and 30, by pooling the RNAs from ten extreme tolerant and ten extreme susceptible RILs due to normalization of irrelevant differentially expressed genes between the parents.

View SamplesThe purpose of this study was to identify molecular alterations potentially involved in predisposition to adnexal serous carcinoma (SerCa) in the non-malignant fallopian tube epithelium (FTE) of BRCA1/2-mutation carriers, given recent evidence implicating the distal FTE as a common source for SerCa.
Gene expression profiles of luteal phase fallopian tube epithelium from BRCA mutation carriers resemble high-grade serous carcinoma.

View SamplesThe overall aim of the present work was to identify MTG16 functions in leukemia cells. Alterations in quantity of the MTG16 co-repressor might affect gene regulation and cell metabolism in malignant cells. Differentiated cells secure energy for cellular homeostasis largely by mitochondrial oxidation. Whereas, mature cells, proliferating tumour cells including leukemia cells depend on glycolysis and mitochondrial respiration may be low even in oxygenrich environments.The same signal transduction pathways that govern cell proliferation give instructions for nutrient uptake and co-regulate metabolic processes. In this manner, the metabolism of tumor cells, and other highly proliferating cells, is adapted to stimulate anabolic glycolysisdriven processes for incorporation of nutrients into nucleotides, amino acids and lipids to synthesize macromolecules required for growth and proliferation.
The transcriptional co-repressor myeloid translocation gene 16 inhibits glycolysis and stimulates mitochondrial respiration.

View SamplesDue to heterogeneous multifocal nature of prostate cancer (PCa), there is currently a lack of biomarkers that stably distinguish it from benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), predict clinical outcome and guide the choice of optimal treatment. In this study, RNA-seq analysis was applied to formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tumor and matched normal tissue samples collected from Russian patients with PCa and BPH. We identified 3384 genes differentially expressed (DE) (FDR < 0.05) between tumor tissue of PCa patients and adjacent normal tissue as well as both tissue types from BPH patients. Overexpression of four of the genes previously not associated with PCa (ANKRD34B, NEK5, KCNG3, and PTPRT) was validated by RT-qPCR. Furthermore, the enrichment analysis of overrepresented microRNA and transcription factor (TF) recognition sites within DE genes revealed common regulatory elements of which 13 microRNAs and 53 TFs were thus linked to PCa for the first time. Moreover, 8 of these TFs (FOXJ2, GATA6, NFE2L1, NFIL3, PRRX2, TEF, EBF2 and ZBTB18) were found to be differentially expressed in this study, making them not only candidate biomarkers of prostate cancer but also potential therapeutic targets. Overall design: Whole transcriptome profiling of tumor tissue and matched adjacent normal tissue from 15 patients with PCa and 2 with BPH.
