To study the function of E3 ligase Huwe1 knockdown on C2C12 proliferation and differentiation, we use mRNA-seq to compare gene expression profiles between control wild-type C2C12 myoblasts and two Huwe1 knockdown C2C12 cell lines generated by different shRNAs on differentiation Day 0 (proliferation medium) and Day 6 (differentiation medium for 6 days). To study the potential roles of Huwe1 in maintainance of muscle morphology, we use mRNA-seq to compare gene expression profiles between control and Huwe1 knockdown myotubes. To study whether downregulation of USP10 deubiquitinase is of functional significance during muscle differentiation, we compare gene expression profiles between control wildtype and USP10 overexpressing C2C12 cells on differentiation Day 6. Overall design: Control and Huwe1 knockdown C2C12 cells were collected on differentiation day 0, day 6 and day 8. Control and USP10 overexpressed C2C12 cells were collected on differentiation day 6. Subsequently, directional mRNA-seq expriments were performed with mRNAs purified from the collected cells.

View SamplesWe report that TAF3, a TBP-associated core promoter factor, is highly enriched in ES cells. In addition to its role in the core promoter recognition complex TFIID, genome-wide binding studies reveal that TAF3 localizes to chromosomal regions bound by CTCF and cohesin. Enrichment for TAF3/CTCF/cohesin bound regions distinguishes TAF3-activated from TAF3-repressed genes. Our findings support a new role of TAF3 in mediating long-range chromatin regulatory interactions to safeguard the finely-balanced transcriptional programs that give rise to pluripotency. Overall design: Comparison of genome-wide expression patterns between TAF3-knockdown and WT embryonic stem cells using mRNA-Seq. Significantly differentially expressed protein-coding genes were identified by comparing control and knock-down samples at each timepoint (ES, embryoid body day 3 (EB3), EB6). Single and paired-end samples were combined at each timepoint, resulting in 3 tests for each gene (based on 8, 4, 4 independent measurements at ES ,EB3, EB6, respectively).

View SamplesBrown adipose tissue (BAT) plays an essential role in metabolic homeostasis by dissipating energy via thermogenesis through uncoupling protein 1 (Ucp1). Previously, we reported that the TATA-binding protein Associated Factor 7L (Taf7l) is an important regulator of white adipose tissue (WAT) differentiation. Here, we show that Taf7l also serves as a molecular switch between brown fat and muscle lineages in vivo and in vitro. In adipose tissue, Taf7l containing TFIID complexes associate with PPAR? to mediate DNA looping between distal enhancers and core promoter elements. Our findings suggest that presence of the tissue-specific Taf7l subunit in TFIID functions to promote long-range chromatin interactions during BAT lineage specification. Overall design: mRNA-seq expression profiling wild type and Taf7l knockout interscapular brown adipose tissue (BAT)

View SamplesPersistent severe asthma is associated with hyper-contractile airways and structural changes in the airway wall, including an increased airway smooth muscle (ASM) mass. This study used gene expression profiles from asthmatic and healthy airway smooth muscle cells grown in culture to identify novel receptors and pathways that potentially contributed to asthma pathogenesis.

View SamplesTo identify genes affected by mutant huntington protein, we performed mRNA-seq experiments with Striatal STHdh Q7/Q7, Q7Q111, and Q111/Q111 cells. We also tested the effect of Sp1 overexpression on rescuing gene expression in Q111/Q111 cells. Overall design: Striatal STHdh Q7/Q7, Q7/Q111 and Q111/Q111 cells were used for the mRNA-seq in replicates. After Sp1 transient overexpression in Q111/Q111 cells, cells were collected for mRNA-seq analysis.
