View SamplesDazl (deleted in azoospermia like) is a member of the DAZ family of germ cell-restricted RNA binding proteins required for gametogenesis from worm to human. The direct RNA targets and functions of these essential proteins are poorly understood. Here, we generated high-resolution, transcriptome-wide maps of Dazl-RNA interactions in mouse testes. These maps provide important insights into the mechanism of Dazl recruitment to mRNA and reveal Dazl binding to thousands of mRNAs predominantly through sequence-specific interactions near the polyA tail. Using transgenic mice and fluorescence activated cell sorting (FACS), we isolated DAZL knockout germ cells and used RNA-Seq to identify mRNAs sensitive to DAZL-ablation. Intersecting the RNA-Seq and Dazl-RNA interaction datasets revealed that Dazl enhances expression of a subset of directly-bound transcripts, namely mRNAs for a network of essential cell cycle regulatory genes. Collectively, our integrative analysis delineates a Dazl-dependent post-transcriptional gene regulatory program essential for mammalian germ cell maintenance.

View SamplesGene fusions are known to play critical roles in tumor pathogenesis. However, sensitive and specific algorithms to detect gene fusions in cancer do not currently exist. Although real RNA-seq data from cell lines or tumors can be used in testing new fusion detection algorithms, it is impossible to know the true sensitivity or specificity of an algorithm without knowing the "ground truth". For this reason we designed a synthetic control data set to assess the true and false positive and negative fusions of a a new fusion detection algorithm.
Statistical algorithms improve accuracy of gene fusion detection.

View SamplesMouse lung cancers were generated using the KrasLA model, in which a latent mutated Kras2 allele (resulting in the amino acid substitution G12D) is sporadically activated through spontaneous homologous recombination. These mice develop lung adenomas with full penetrance; over time, the tumors acquire morphologic characteristics reminiscent of those of human adenocarcinoma, such as nuclear atypia and a high mitotic index.

View SamplesA mouse model for human small cell lung carcinoma (SCLC) has been developed based on evidence in human tumors that the tumor suppressor functions of RB and p53 are defective in more than 90% of SCLC cases. We also developed another mouse model also combines loss of p130 (Rbl2), an RB-related gene, with deletion of RB and p53. These two mouse tumors were shown to closely resemble human SCLC.
Loss of p130 accelerates tumor development in a mouse model for human small-cell lung carcinoma.

View SamplesIn this work, we determine total mRNA decay rates in rpb1-1 and rpb1-1/caf1? cells, calculate half-lives in rpb1-1/caf1? cells relative to rpb1-1 cells and correlate them with codon optimality. Overall design: mRNA profiling was done on 10 time points in rpb1-1/caf1 cells and sequenced using a paired end protocol on an Illumina HiSeq2000 instrument. A biological duplicate was performed.

View SamplesAlthough the role of macrophage colony stimulating factor (M-CSF/CSF-1) in homeostasis and disease processes has been studied extensively in mice, little is known of the impact of this cytokine on differentiated human macrophages. Here we show that, in contrast to its effects on mouse bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMM), CSF-1 did not induce expression of urokinase plasminogen activator mRNA, repress expression of apolipoprotein E mRNA, or prime LPS-induced TNF secretion in human monocyte-derived macrophages (HMDM) from several independent donors. Using expression profiling, we show that CSF-1 dynamically regulated the expression of several genes that encode chemokines and chemokine receptors (e.g. CXCL10/IP-10, CXCL2, CCL7, SDF2L1, CXCR4) in HMDM. CSF-1 also upregulated the expression of several genes encoding enzymes of the cholesterol biosynthetic pathway (HMGCR, MVD, IDI1, FDPS, SQLE, CYP51A1, EBP, NSDHL, DHCR7 and DHCR24), while expression of ABCG1, encoding a cholesterol efflux transporter, was repressed. Although the CSF-1/CSF-1R system has been proposed as a target for the treatment of inflammatory and metastatic disease based on studies in rodents, this is the first systematic analysis of the effects of CSF-1 on mature human macrophages. Our data demonstrates that CSF-1 represents a further link between inflammation and cardiovascular disease, inflammtion and immunity.
