The cardiovascular restricted transcription factor CHF1/Hey2 has been previously shown to regulate the smooth muscle response to growth factors. To determine how CHF1/Hey2 affects the smooth muscle response to growth factors, we performed a genomic screen for transcripts that are differentially expressed in wild type and knockout smooth muscle cells after stimulation with platelet derived growth factor.

View SamplesWe investigated whether in vitro expansion of human alveolar epithelial type II cells is possible. We found that human endogenous human alveolar epithelial type II cells can be cultured and passaged. The culture system enabled retroviral gene transduction into human alveolar epithelial type II cells. We performed RNA sequencing of human alveolar epithelial type II cells transduced with mutant surfactant protein C or control vector. Overall design: Cultured human alveolar epithelial type II cells were transfected with retroviral vector containing mutant surfactant protein C or control retroviral vector. The retroviral vector contained LNGFR as a marker. After gene transduction, transduced cells were purified by magnetic-activated cell sorting. The transcriptome of the cells was generated by 5'Tag-seq using Ion Genestudio S5 Sequencer.

View SamplesIn the alveoli, lung fibroblasts are in close contact with alveolar epithelial cells type 2, and are considered to support alveolar epithelial cells, forming an alveolar stem cell niche. However, what fibroblast-to-epithelial cell interactions occur during the alveolar maturation stage remains unclear. To understand the lung fibroblast-to-epithelial cell interactions, we performed time-course 3´SAGE-seq analysis of lung epithelial cells and fibroblasts. Overall design: Lung epithelial cells and lung fibroblasts from various developmental stages (E18.5, P0.5, P2, P7, P28, and P56) were purified by cell sorting. The time series transcriptome of the epithelial cells and fibroblasts was generated by 3'SAGE-seq using Ion Proton sequencer.

View SamplesPaper abstract: The transcription factors Abrupt (Ab) and Knot (Kn) act as selectors of distinct dendritic arbor morphologies in two classes of Drosophila sensory neurons, termed class I and class IV, respectively. We performed binding-site mapping and transcriptional profiling of isolated these neurons. Their profiles were similarly enriched in cell-type-specific enhancers of genes implicated in neural development. We identified a total of 429 target genes, of which 56 were common to Ab and Kn; these targets included genes necessary to shape dendritic arbors in either or both of the two sensory subtypes. Furthermore, a common target gene, encoding the cell adhesion molecule Ten-m, was expressed more strongly in class I than IV, and this differential was critical to the class-selective directional control of dendritic branch sprouting or extension. Our analyses illustrate how differentiating neurons employ distinct and shared repertoires of gene expression to produce class-selective morphological traits.

View SamplesTo better understand the molecular basis of the anticancer effects of acyclic retinoid (ACR), a genome-wide screening was applied to identify novel targets of ACR in human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells JHH7. Gene expression profiles of JHH7 were measured at 0h, 1h and 4 hours after treatment with1 M All-trans retinoic acid (AtRA) or 10 M ACR. Hierarchical clustering with Wards method of 44,907 genes demonstrated diverse expression changes in HCC cells treated with ACR for 4h. A total of 973 differentially expressed genes in response to ACR by comparing with AtRA for 4h treatments were identified with a fold change more than 2. Then, network analysis was performed on the altered gene expression profiles using Ingenuity Pathways Analysis (IPA) program. The most highly populated networks were associated with the regulation of cell cycle and DNA replication, as ACR is well known to induce apoptosis and suppress cell proliferation in HCC cells. Moreover, networks related with amino acid metabolism, protein synthesis and lipid metabolism, such as the biological network entitled Lipid Metabolism, Small Molecular Biochemistry, Vitamin and Mineral Metabolism were also observed. Of interest, this network contains genes that play critical roles in controlling the development of tissues and organs such as the nuclear orphan receptor nuclear receptor subfamily 2, group F, member 2 (NR2F2), suggesting potential drug targets to prevent/treat HCC.
