Description
Members of the CUG-BP, Elav-like family (CELF) regulate alternative splicing in the heart. In MHC-CELFdelta transgenic mice, CELF splicing activity is inhibited postnatally in heart muscle via expression of a nuclear dominant negative CELF protein under an a-myosin heavy chain promoter. MHC-CELFdelta mice develop dilated cardiomyopathy characterized by alternative splicing defects, enlarged hearts, and severe contractile dysfunction. In this study, gene expression profiles in the hearts of wild type, high- and low-expressing lines of MHC-CELFdelta mice were compared using microarrays. Gene ontology and pathway analyses identified contraction and calcium signaling as the most affected processes. Network analysis revealed that the serum response factor (SRF) network is highly affected. Downstream targets of SRF were up-regulated in MHC-CELFdelta mice compared to the wild type, suggesting an increase in SRF activity. Although SRF levels remained unchanged, known inhibitors of SRF activity were down-regulated. These results suggest a role for CELF-mediated alternative splicing in the regulation of contractile gene expression, achieved in part through modulating the activity of SRF, a key cardiac transcription factor.
Publication Title
Gene expression analyses implicate an alternative splicing program in regulating contractile gene expression and serum response factor activity in mice.

Description
We sequenced mRNA from 12 samples extracted from mouse amygdala tissue to generate the first amygdala-specific murine transcriptome for germ-free mice (GF), conventionally raised controls (CON) and germ-free mice that have been colonized with normal microbiota from postnatal day 21 (exGF). Overall design: Equal amounts of RNA from two to three animals were pooled to yield 4 samples per group (CON, GF, and exGF). Pairwise comparisons for CONvsGF, CONvsexGF, GFvsexGF were performed using DESeq2.

- Affymetrix Mouse Genome 430A 2.0 Array (mouse430a2)
Description
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is an incurable neuromuscular degenerative disease, caused by a mutation in the dystrophin gene. Mdx mice recapitulate DMD features. Here we show that injection of wild-type (WT) embryonic stem cells (ESCs) into mdx blastocysts produces mice with improved pathology. A small fraction of WT ESCs incorporates into the mdx mouse nonuniformly to upregulate protein levels of dystrophin in the skeletal muscle. The chimeric muscle shows reduced regeneration and restores dystrobrevin, a dystrophin-related protein, in areas with high and with low dystrophin content. WT ESC injection also normalizes the amount of fat, a tissue that does not express dystrophin. ESC injection without dystrophin does not prevent the appearance of phenotypes in the skeletal muscle or in the fat. Thus, dystrophin supplied by the ESCs reverses disease in mdx mice globally.

Description
The mutation in the budding yeast gene PCNA, pol30-8, as well as deletion of DOT1 (dot1), encoding the only histone H3 K79 methyltransferase in budding yeast, have been implicated in telomeric silencing. To further analyze these mutants, we used microarrays to study whether either pol30-8, dot1 or the double mutant leads to changes in gene expression levels when compared to isogenic wild-type strains.
Publication Title
A common telomeric gene silencing assay is affected by nucleotide metabolism.

Description
HCT116 cells were transfected with two different siRNA's targeting either DDX5, an siRNA targeting EBNA1, or no siRNA (mock). The siRNA targeting EBNA1 is used as a negative control since HCT116 cells do not have the EBNA1 gene. RNA was obtained from cultures at 24hrs post-siRNA transfection using the Qiagen RNeasy Minikit (cat. # 74104) with on-column DNase digestion performed as per the manufacturer's protocol. The RNA samples were isolated at 24hrs post-siRNA transfection since this timepoint precedes an impaired G1-to-S phase cell cycle progression phenotype that is evident at 48hrs post-siRNA transfection and so may reveal gene expression changes occuring before this effect on cell cycle. RNA samples were submitted to the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Microarray Faciity where cDNA was prepared, labeled, and hybridized to Affymetrix GeneChip Human Gene 1.0 ST microarrays. Data from the arrays were processed using the RMA method with an up-to-data probe set definition (Biostatistics 4:249-264 and Nucleic Acids Research 33(20):e175. Gene set analysis was performed using generally applicable gene set enrichment (BMC Bioinformatics 10:161). The most differentially regulated gene ontology groups were selected with FDR q-value < 0.1.

Diabetes and obesity are widespread diseases with signifciant socioeconomic implications. We used three different types of human adipose tissue (epigastric, visceral, and subcutaneous) in order to determine differences in global gene expression between these adipose depots in severely obese patients.
