Project description:End stage heart failure due to ischemic cardiomyopathy (ICM) and dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) have similar characteristics, enlargement of the ventricles, relatively thin-walled ventricle, which leads to a limited contraction force and blood loading. Nevertheless, the response for present therapeutics is very variable and the prognosis is still very bad for ICM and DCM in general. Thus, the ability to differentiate the etiologies of heart failure based structural and physiological changes of the heart would be a step forward to enhance the specificity and the success of given therapy.

Project description:Tumor cell invasion and metastasis are hallmarks of malignancy. Despite recent advances in the understanding of lymphatic spread, the mechanisms by which tumors metastasize to sentinel/distant lymph nodes and beyond are poorly understood. To gain new insights into this complex process, we established a highly metastatic melanoma cell line (B16F1-variant) by in vivo passaging the B16 parental cell line through the lymphatic system. Here, we characterized morphology, rate of cell proliferation, colony formation, migration, tumorogenicity, lymph flow, and capacities to induce tumor- and sentinel lymph node- lymphangiogenesis. Furthermore, microarray-based comparative analysis bewteen parental and passaged cell lines was performed to identify specific gene expression profiles. The most differentially expressed gene was SPP (osteopontin), a secreted glycophosphoprotein which is known to be involved in cancer metastasis. Overexpression of osteopontin in B16 F1-variant was confirmed by Western blot and quantitative RT-PCR. Treatment of cultured lymphatic endothelial cells (LEC) with osteopontin promoted cell migration mediated by the integrin α9 pathway. Our results identify osteopontin as a novel lymphangiogenic factor. B16 and B16 variants were cultured in DMEM supplemented with 20% fetal bovine serum (FBS; Invitrogen, Grand Island, NY) supplemented with antibiotic-antimycotic solution. Every B16 variant was cultured in duplicates. Total cellular RNA was isolated using the Trizol reagent (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA) extracted with chloroform, precipitated with isopropanol, washed with 70% ethanol, and dissolved in DNase-free/RNase-free distilled water. The concentration of RNA was measured using NanoDrop ND-1000 spectrophotometer (Witec AG, Littau, Switzerland) and RNA quality was assessed using 2100 Bioanalyzer (Agilent Technologies, Palo Alto, CA). Digoxigenin-UTP–labeled cRNA was generated and amplified from 500ng of total RNA using the NanoAmp RT-IVT Labeling Kit (Applied Biosystems, Foster City, CA) following the manufacturer's protocol, and was hybridized to Applied Biosystems Mouse Genome Survey Microarrays V2.0. Chemiluminescence detection, image acquisition, and analysis were performed using the Chemiluminescence Detection Kit (Applied Biosystems) and the Applied Biosystems 1700 Chemiluminescent Microarray Analyzer following the manufacturer's protocol. A total of two biological replicates were generated for each B16 variant and each cell line data consisted of pooled RNA of two diffferent passage numbers.

Project description:Cavitation in tuberculosis (TB) enables highly efficient person-to-person aerosol transmission. Currently, a number of hypotheses exist regarding the mechanisms underlying this process. To explore this process, we undertook an unbiased next-generation transcriptional analysis of samples from cavity walls, grossly normal tissue from the same lung, and uninfected control lungs. Of 17,318 mapped host transcripts, only 199 showed a significant >2-fold change in cavity wall versus normal infected and uninfected samples. Amongst 22 upregulated proteases, 5 type I collagenases were over-represented; these included cathepsin K (CTSK), mast cell chymase-1 (CMA1), matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-1, MMP-13, and MMP-14. To determine if cavitation was associated with changes in collagen turnover, we assayed serum and urinary markers of collagen metabolism in rabbits with cavitary TB versus infected controls. Serum collagen type 1 C-terminal propeptide (CICP, a marker of collagen synthesis and degradation) and urinary deoxypyridinoline (DPD, a marker of degradation) were increased by 10- (p = 0.019) and 4-fold (p = 0.068), respectively; while urinary helical peptide (a marker of degradation) was decreased 3-fold (p=0.015). This indicates that cavitation in TB is associated with significant increases of both destruction and synthesis of collagen and that cleavage of type I collagen occurs outside the known cleavage sites of MMP-1, -13 and -14. Rabbit gene expression analysis in lung tissue from M. tuberculosis infected animals. Cavitary tissue, non cavitary tissue and lung tissue from non-infected animals are compared.

Project description:TGFBR1*6A is a common hypomorphic variant of the type 1 Transforming Growth Factor Beta Receptor (TGFBR1), which has been associated with increased cancer risk in some studies. Although TGFBR1*6A is capable of switching TGF-β growth inhibitory signals into growth stimulatory signals when stably transfected into MCF-7 breast cancer cells, TGFBR1*6A biological effects are largely unknown. To broadly explore TGFBR1*6A potential oncogenic properties, we assessed its impact on the migration and invasion of MCF-7 cells. We found that TGFBR1*6A significantly enhances MCF-7 cell migration and invasion in a TGF-β signaling independent manner. We set up and performed a gene array using the conditions mimicking the cell migration experiments to determine which genes in the migratory pathway were differentially regulated between the MCF-7*6A cells and the MCF-7*9A (wild type transfected) cells. The gene array identified two downregulated genes in *6A compared to *9A that are involved in cell migration and invasion: ARHGAP5, encoding ARHGAP5, and FN1, encoding fibronectin-1 (FN1). We were subsequently able to use this information in further studies in the lab. Experiment Overall Design: MCF-7 cells were stably transfected with pIRES-TGFBR1-HA-FLAG or pIRES-TGFBR1*6A-HA-FLAG. Clones were picked up and named 6A-SA5 and WT-WB1 referring to the *6A and TGFBR1 clones, respectively. We have found that the *6A mutation causes an increase in migration and invasion of MCF-7 cells which is independent of TGF-beta. We used the gene array to identify genes that were differentially regulated between the two cell lines that could lead to this phenotype. We collected RNA from samples that were serum-deprived overnight prior to being fed with complete media to mimic the conditions in the migration experiment. No exogenous growth factors were added to the media besides the normal 10% heat inactivated FBS. Samples were collected and run in triplicate (referred to in this data set as sample 1, sample 2, and sample 3). The âuntreatedâ refers to the fact that samples were grown in complete media alone with no exogenously added growth factors.

Project description:During mammalian pre-implantation embryonic development dramatic and orchestrated changes occur in gene transcription. The identification of the complete changes has not been possible until the development of the Next Generation Sequencing Technology. Here we report the first transcriptome dynamics of single matured bovine oocytes and all stages of pre-implantation embryos developed in vivo. Surprisingly, nearly half of the bovine genome, 11,488 to 12,729 genes involved in more than 100 pathways, is expressed in oocytes and early embryos. Despite the similarity in the total numbers of genes expressed across stages, the nature of the expressed genes is dramatically different. A total of 2,845 genes were differentially expressed among different stages, of which the largest change was observed between the 4- and 8-cell stages, demonstrating that the bovine embryonic genome activation occurs at this transition. Additionally, 774 genes were identified as only expressed/highly enriched in particular stages of development. Using weighted gene co-expression network analysis, we found 12 stage-specific modules of co-expressed genes that can be used to represent the corresponding stage of development. Furthermore, we identified conserved key members (or hub genes) of the bovine expressed gene networks. Their vast association with other embryonic genes suggests that they may have important regulatory roles in embryogenesis; yet, the majority of the hub genes are relatively unknown/under-studied in embryos. We also conducted the first embryonic expression profile comparison across three mammalian species, human, mouse and bovine, for which RNA-seq data are available. We found that the three species share more maternally deposited genes than embryonic genome activated genes. More importantly, there are more similarities in embryonic transcriptomes between bovine and humans than between humans and mice, demonstrating that bovine embryos are better models for human embryonic development. This study provides the first comprehensive examination for gene activities in bovine embryos and identified little-known potential master regulators of pre-implantation development. RNA-Seq profiles from single in vivo matured oocytes and in vivo developed embryos from the 2-cell to the blastocyst stages generated using Solid RNA-seq platform.

Project description:We were able to achieve an initial stable intermediate phase by the transduction of Oct4, Klf4, and c-Myc. Furthermore, over-expression of Sox2 in these intermediate stage cells leads to final iPS cell phase. After examining the gene expression profiles from the initial to final iPS cell phases, we have identified Sox2 downstream genes important for iPS cell induction. 4 groups of cells are analyzed. Each group contains cells from 4 indepent dishes. The four groups are: ES cells, iPS cells, intermediate stage cells (OKM cells) and MEFs

Project description:Chromosome 1 pericentric heterochromatin rearrangements : potent drivers of nuclear architecture perturbations and gene deregulation in human B cell lymphoma Epigenetic perturbations are increasingly described in cancer cells where they are thought to contribute to deregulated gene expression and genome instability. Here, we report the first evidence, that a distinct category of chromosomal translocation observed in human tumours â those targeting 1q12 satellite DNA - can directly mediate such perturbations by promoting the formation of aberrant heterochromatic foci (aHCF). By detailed investigations of a 1q12 translocation to chromosome 2p, in a case of human B cell lymphoma, aberrant aHCF were shown to be localised to the nuclear periphery and to arise as a consequence of long range âpairingâ between the translocated 1q12 and chromosome 2 centromeric regions. Remarkably, adjacent 2p sequences showed increased levels of repressive histone modifications, including H4K20me3 and H3K9me3, and were bound by HP1. aHCF were associated to aberrant spatial localisation and deregulated expression of a novel 2p gene (GMCL1) that was found to have prognostic impact in B cell lymphoma. Thus constitutive heterochromatin rearrangements can contribute to tumourigenesis by perturbing gene expression by via long range epigenetic mechanisms. The formation of aberrant heterochromatic foci, coupled to abnormal enrichment of adjacent 2p sequences in repressive heterochromatin marks (H4K20me3, H3K9me3 and HP1), delayed replication and repositioning of the rearranged chromosome 2 to the nuclear periphery, could be associated to altered gene expression of at least those genes brought into close proximity to heterochromatin. To assess this question, global gene expression profiling was performed in the lymphoma B cells presenting the aberrant heterochromatin foci (CH1), treated or not with the histone deacetylase inhibitor, trichostatin A.
