To determine the effects of depleting TIP60, CDK8, or HIF1A on the transcriptional response to hypoxia, we performed RNAseq analysis of four HCT116 colorectal carcinoma cell lines (shNT, HIF1A-/-, shTIP60 and shCDK8) in normoxic and hypoxic (24hrs, 1% O2) conditions. Overall design: PolyA RNA for two independent biological replicates was purified from HCT116 cells stably expressing an shRNA against a non-targeting control (shNT), TIP60 (shTIP60) or CDK8 (shCDK8), or genetically deleted HIF1A (HIF1A-/-) subjected to 24hrs 1% O2 (hypoxia) or maintained under ambient oxygen (21%; normoxia) was sequenced on the Ion Torrent platform. Reads were aligned to the human genome and gene-level counts were used for differential expression analysis.

Identification of candidate genes involved in neuroblastoma progression by combining genomic and expression microarrays with survival data.

View SamplesGene expression analysis was performed on 30 Neuroblastomas to identify genes whose transcription is significantly altered by recurrent chromosomal alterations. Genomic copy number losses and gains had been delineated in the tumours using FISH and SNP arrays. We have identified genes significantly altered by 7 recurrent alterations: 1p, 3p, 4p, 10q and 11q loss, 2p and 17q gain, and genes co-amplified and over-expressed as a result of MYCN amplification.

View SamplesBased on the results of numerous clinical and preclinical analyses, the transcription factor HIF-1a has been identified as an important tumor-promoting factor and is considered to be an attractive target for cancer therapy. To further deconstruct the molecular nature of HIF-1as role in tumorigenesis, we have applied lentiviral shRNA transduction to establish HIF-1a-deficient gastric cancer cells. Interestingly, functional analyses failed to show a significant growth defect of HIF-1a-deficient gastric cancer cells in vitro and in vivo. These observations led us to propose that stable inactivation of HIF-1a resulted in efficient compensation enabling cell growth and, ultimately, tumor progression in a HIF-1a-independent manner. To better understand the mechanisms that control this compensation, we performed transcriptomics of control (scrambled (SCR)) and HIF-1a-deficient (HIF) gastric cancer cells.

Targeted disruption of Hotair leads to homeotic transformation and gene derepression.

View SamplesLong noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are thought to be prevalent regulators of gene expression, but the consequences of lncRNA inactivation in vivo are mostly unknown. Here we show that targeted deletion of mouse Hotair lncRNA leads to de-repression of hundreds of genes, resulting in homeotic transformation of the spine and malformation of metacarpal-carpal bones. RNA-seq and conditional inactivation reveal an ongoing requirement of Hotair to repress HoxD genes and multiple imprinted loci such as Dlk1-Meg3 and Igf2-H19. Hotair binds to both Polycomb repressive complex 2 that methylates histone H3 at lysine 27 (H3K27) and Lsd1 complex that demethylates histone H3 at lysine 4 (H3K4) in vivo. Hotair inactivation causes coordinate H3K27me3 loss and H3K4me3 gain at select target genes throughout the genome. These results reveal a shared regulatory mechanism to enforce silent chromatin state at Hox and imprinted genes via Hotair lncRNA.

View SamplesTriple negative breast cancer (TNBC) is an aggressive subtype that lack targeted clinical therapies. In addition, TNBC is heterogeneous and was recently further sub-classified into seven TNBC subtypes that displayed unique gene expression patterns.
