N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is the most abundant internal modification of eukaryotic mRNA. This modification has previously been shown to alter the export kinetics for mRNAs though the molecular details surrounding this phenomenon remain poorly understood. Here we show that the m6A complex (WTAP, KIAA1429, METTL3/14) drives recruitment of the TREX mRNA export complex onto m6A modified mRNAs and this process is essential for the efficient export of certain mRNAs. Depletion of the core m6A complex leads to loss of TREX from mRNAs which undergo the m6A modification. We show that TREX stimulates recruitment of the m6A reader protein YTHDC1 to the mRNP and the m6A complex influences the interaction of TREX with YTHDC1. We suggest that m6A acts as a surrogate for other TREX recruitment mechanisms such as splicing and 5' capping, in long internal and final exons which may otherwise be devoid of this essential complex for mRNA export. Overall design: mRNA profiles of control and Virilizer/WTAP RNAi samples in cytoplasmic and nuclear cell fractions generated by mRNA-seq in triplicate using HiSeq 2500
The m<sup>6</sup>A-methylase complex recruits TREX and regulates mRNA export.

View SamplesEarly chemotherapy for advanced/metastatic non-castration resistant prostate cancer (PCa) may improve overall patient survival. We studied the safety, tolerability and early efficacy of up-front docetaxel chemotherapy and androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) versus ADT alone for patients with newly-diagnosed advanced/metastatic PCa. As proof of concept, we undertook in vivo gene expression profiling by next generation RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq). Overall design: Tumour biposies from 6 patients were taken before and after treatment with combined ADT and docetaxcel for 6 weeks

View SamplesAndrogen ablation therapy (AAT) is standard treatment for locally-advanced/metastatic prostate cancer (PCa). Many patients develop castration-resistance (CRPCa) after ~2-3 years, with a poor prognosis. The molecular mechanisms underlying CRPCa progression are unclear. mRNA-Seq was performed on tumours from 7 patients with locally-advanced/metastatic PCa before and ~22 weeks after AAT initiation. Differentially regulated genes were identified in treatment pairs. Overall design: Tumour biopsies from 7 patients were taken before and after AAT treatment

View SamplesWe study the effect of four QTN in RME1, IME1 & RSF1 that are causative for variation in sporulation efficiency. We investigate the relationship between genotype, gene expression and phenotype and whether the amount of gene expression variation explained by the sporulation QTN is predictive of the amount of phenotypic variation explained by them. Overall design: RNA-Seq analysis of 4 replicates each of 16 allele replacement panel strains containing all combinations of the four sporulation QTN after 2 hours in sporulation medium.
Single nucleotide variants in transcription factors associate more tightly with phenotype than with gene expression.

Here we systematically investigate MBD2 suppression by overexpressing MBD2 in MCF-10A cells and generating gene expression profiles of overexpressing cells and normal MCF-10A cells.
