Exon arrays of ENCODE tier 1, tier 2 and tier 3 cell types

ABSTRACT: At cell harvest, a subset of cells was stored at -20oC in RNALater. Total RNA from 5 X 106 cells were purified using Ribopure (Ambion) according to vendor recommended protocols. Total RNA quality was assessed on RNA 6000 Nano Chips (Agilent) using a Bioanalyzer (Agilent). Approximately 3ug of total RNA for each cell type was sent to the Center for Array Technology (CAT) for labeling and hybridization to Affymetrix Human Exon 1.0 ST arrays. Briefly, a Whole Transcript Sense Target Labeling Assay (Affymetrix) was used by the CAT to reduce the rRNA, perform in vitro transcription (IVT) and create labeled sense strand DNA for hybridization to the arrays. Hybridizations were carried out according the manufacturers protocol. Intensity files from the scanned exon arrays were sent to our lab for analysis at the exon level (Affymetrix ExACT 1.2.1 software). Samples were quantile normalized with PM-GCBG background correction and PLIER (Probe Logarithmic Intensity Error) summarized.

Faithful transmission of genetic material to daughter cells involves a characteristic temporal order of DNA replication, which may play a significant role in the inheritance of epigenetic states. We developed a genome-scale approach--Repli Seq--to map temporally ordered replicating DNA using massively parallel sequencing and applied it to study regional variation in human DNA replication time across multiple human cell types. The method requires as few as 8,000 cytometry-fractionated cells for a ...[more]

Project description:Background:Breast cancer is the second most frequent type of cancer affecting women. We are increasingly aware that changes in mRNA splicing are associated with various characteristics of cancer. The most deadly aspect of cancer is metastasis, the process by which cancer spreads from the primary tumor to distant organs. However, little is known specifically about the involvement of alternative splicing in the formation of macroscopic metastases. Our study investigates transcript isoform changes that characterize tumors of different abilities to form growing metastases. Results:To identify alternative splicing events (ASEs) that are associated with the fully metastatic phenotype in breast cancer, we used Affymetrix Exon Microarrays to profile mRNA isoform variations genome-wide in weakly metastatic (168FARN and 4T07) and highly metastatic (4T1) mammary carcinomas. Statistical analysis identified significant expression changes in 7606 out of 155,994 (4%) exons and in 1725 out of 189,460 (1%) intronic regions, which affect 2623 out of 16,654 (16%) genes. These changes correspond to putative alternative isoforms - several of which are novel - that are differentially expressed between tumors of varying metastatic phenotypes. Gene pathway analysis showed that 1224 of genes expressing alternative isoforms were involved in cell growth, cell interactions, cell proliferation, cell migration and cell death and have been previously linked to cancers and genetic disorders. We chose ten predicted splice variants for RT-PCR validation, eight of which were successfully confirmed (MED24, MFI2, SRRT, CD44, CLK1 and HNRNPH1). These include three novel intron retentions in CD44, a gene in which isoform variations have been previously associated with the metastasis of several cancers. Conclusions:Our findings reveal that various genes are differently spliced and/or expressed in association with the metastatic phenotype of tumor cells. Identification of metastasis-specific isoforms may contribute to the development of improved breast cancer stage identification and targeted therapies. Keywords: Seek pre-mRNA changes associated with the fully metastatic phenotype in breast cancer We used RNA tumor tissues derived from three murine mammary carcinoma cell lines (168FARN, 4T07 and 4T1); four biological replicates of 168FARN, four biological replicates of 4T07, and four biological replicates of 4T1 were hybridized independently at McGill university site.

Project description:Recent genomic approaches have suggested the existence of multiple distinct subtypes of medulloblastoma. We studied a large cohort of medulloblastomas to determine how many subgroups of the disease exist, how they differ, and the extent of overlap between subgroups. We determined gene expression profiles and DNA copy number aberrations for 103 primary medulloblastomas. Bioinformatic tools were used for class discovery of medulloblastoma subgroups based on the most informative genes in the dataset. Immunohistochemistry for subgroup-specific ‘signature’ genes was used to determine subgroup affiliation for 294 non-overlapping medulloblastomas on two independent tissue microarrays (TMAs). Multiple unsupervised analyses of transcriptional profiles identified four distinct, non-overlapping molecular variants: WNT, SHH, Group C, and Group D. Supervised analysis of these four subgroups revealed significant subgroup-specific demographics, histology, metastatic status, and DNA copy number aberrations. Immunohistochemistry for DKK1 (WNT), SFRP1 (SHH), NPR3 (Group C), and KCNA1 (Group D) could reliably and uniquely classify formalin fixed medulloblastomas in ~98% of cases. Group C patients (NPR3 +ve tumors) exhibited a significantly diminished progression free and overall survival irrespective of their metastatic status. Our integrative genomics approach to a large cohort of medulloblastomas has identified four disparate subgroups with distinct demographics, clinical presentation, transcriptional profiles, genetic abnormalities, and clinical outcome. Medulloblastomas can be reliably assigned to subgroups through immunohistochemistry, thereby making medulloblastoma sub-classification widely available. Future research on medulloblastoma and the development of clinical trials should take into consideration these four distinct types of medulloblastoma. A total of 103 primary medulloblastoma specimens were profiled by Affymetrix exon array and gene-level analysis was performed.
