Project description:ATRX is a severe X-linked disorder characterized by mental retardation, facial dysmorphism, urogenital abnormalities and alpha-thalassemia. The disease is caused by mutations in ATRX gene, which encodes a protein belonging to the SWI/SNF DNA helicase family, a group of proteins involved in the regulation of gene transcription at the chromatin level. In order to identify specific genes involved in the pathogenesis of the disease, we compared, by cDNA microarray, the expression levels of approximately 8500 transcripts between ATRX and normal males of comparable age. The analysis has been performed on pooled RNA extracted by Peripheral blood mononuclear cell pellet of three male ATRX patients in comparison to that obtained from a pool of 42 normal males (age 7.6+ 2.4).

Project description:The taxanes are widely used in the treatment of breast and other cancers. While their cytotoxicity has been attributed to the induction of cell cycle arrest in mitosis through the stabilization of microtubules, we found that docetaxel promotes soluble tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha production in MCF-7 breast tumor cells. TNF-alpha induces apoptotic cell death in a variety of cell types by binding to one of its receptors (TNFR1) which promotes death-inducing signaling complex (DISC) formation. Consistent with this view, we also report that selection of MCF-7 cells for survival in increasing concentrations of paclitaxel or docetaxel results in selection of drug-resistant variants that are resistant to TNF-alpha cytotoxicity. MCF-7 cells selected to 3-5 nM docetaxel produced >30-fold more TNF-alpha than control MCF-7CC cells but had strongly reduced levels of TNFR1. In contrast, expression of TNFR2 was unchanged, resulting in enhanced cell survival through the activation of the NF-kappaB p50 and p65 subunits. Gene expression profiling of docetaxel resistant MCF-7 cells compared to parental MCF-7 cells was performed for the changes of TNF related genes, and also confirmed in ovarian cell line A2780. Two docetaxel resistant cell lines of breast MCF-7 and ovarian A2780 were generated for gene expression profilling. Two colour microarray of Agilent whole human genome nucleotide arrays was conducted with two replicate of both forward and reverse labellings for MCF-7. Four arrays were used for this experiments. And it was four replicate of both forward and reverse labellings for A2780 cells. Eight arrays were used for this experiments

Project description:DNA topoisomerase II (topo II) catalyzes a strand passage reaction in that one duplex is passed through a transient brake in another. Completion of late stages of neuronal development depends on the presence of active isoform (topo IIbeta). We identified topo IIbeta action sites on 7 selected genomic regions (about 79 Mb in total), each containing at least one gene that is controlled by topo IIbeta in neuronal differentiation. We used a novel method, etoposide-mediated topoisomerase immunoprecipitation (eTIP), followed by identification of precipitated DNA fragments on genomic tiling arrays. These DNA fragments were first fractionated by concentrated salt prior to the array analysis. The 0.5 M NaCl-released fraction was analyzed as P2 and the salt-resistant fraction wad analyzed as P1. The genomic DNA fractions from the immunoprecipitate (P1 or P2) were co-hybridized with a reference DNA isolated from the input of immunoprecipitation.

Project description:Paneth cells of intestinal crypts contribute to host defense by producing antimicrobial peptides that are packaged as granules for secretion into the crypt lumen. Here, we provide evidence using light and electron microscopy that postsecretory Paneth cell granules undergo limited dissolution and accumulate within the intestinal crypts of cystic fibrosis (CF) mice. On the basis of this finding, we evaluated bacterial colonization and expression of two major constituents of Paneth cells, i.e., {alpha}-defensins (cryptdins) and lysozyme, in CF murine intestine. Paneth cell granules accumulated in intestinal crypt lumens in both untreated CF mice with impending intestinal obstruction and in CF mice treated with an osmotic laxative that prevented overt clinical symptoms and mucus accretion. Ultrastructure studies indicated little change in granule morphology within mucus casts, whereas granules in laxative-treated mice appear to undergo limited dissolution. Protein extracts from CF intestine had increased levels of processed cryptdins compared with those from wild-type (WT) littermates. Nonetheless, colonization with aerobic bacteria species was not diminished in the CF intestine and oral challenge with a cryptdin-sensitive enteric pathogen, Salmonella typhimurium, resulted in greater colonization of CF compared with WT intestine. Modest downregulation of cryptdin and lysozyme mRNA in CF intestine was shown by microarray analysis, real-time quantitative PCR, and Northern blot analysis. Based on these findings, we conclude that antimicrobial peptide activity in CF mouse intestine is compromised by inadequate dissolution of Paneth cell granules within the crypt lumens. Total RNA was extracted from pooled small intestines of three WT and three CF mice using Tri-Reagent (Molecular Research Center, Cincinnati, OH), and poly(A) RNA was purified by using the MicroPoly(A) mRNA purification kit (Ambion, Austin, TX). The WT and CF poly(A) RNA samples were sent to IncyteGenomics (St. Louis, MO) where they were labeled with cyanine 3 (Cy3) and Cy5, respectively, and hybridized with the UniGEM1.31 array representing 9,570 known genes and expressed sequence tags.

Project description:Background: Current protocols for the treatment of ovarian cancer include combination chemotherapy with a platinating agent and a taxane. However, many patients experience relapse of their cancer and the development of drug resistance is not uncommon, making successful second line therapy difficult to achieve. The objective of this study was to develop a cell line resistant to both carboplatin and docetaxel (dual drug resistant ovarian cell line A2780CBNDXL), along with single agent resistant lines (docetaxel resistant A2780DXL and carboplatin resistant A2780CBN), to investigate the mechanisms which underlie the development of dual drug resistance. Methods: The A2780 epithelial ovarian cancer cell line was used to select for isogenic carboplatin, docetaxel and dual drug resistant cell lines. A selection method of gradually increasing drug doses was implemented to avoid clonal selection. Resistance was confirmed using a clonogenic assay. Changes in gene expression associated with the development of drug resistance were determined by microarray analysis compared to parental co-culture control A2780CC. Changes in selected genes were validated by QPCR and immunoblotting. Results: Three isogenic cell lines were developed and resistance to each drug or the combination of drugs was confirmed. Development of resistance was accompanied by a reduced growth rate. The microarray and QPCR analyses showed that unique changes in gene expression occurred in the dual drug resistant cell line and that genes known to be involved in resistance could be identified in all cell lines. Conclusions: Novel changes in gene expression can occur in the development of dual drug resistance, indicating that dual drug resistance is not a simple combination of the changes occurring in single agent resistance Carboplatin, docetaxel (GSE26129) and carboplatin/docetaxel dual resistant cell lines of ovarian A2780 were generated for gene expression profilling. Two colour microarray of Agilent whole human genome nucleotide arrays was conducted with two replicate of both forward and reverse labellings for each cell line. Four arrays were used for this experiments. And it was four replicate of both forward and reverse labellings for A2780 cells. Eight arrays were used for this experiments

Project description:TuBo cell line (E) was compared to passage 1 (P1), 2 (P2) and 3 (P3) mammospheres to detect specific transcription isoforms associated to cancer stem cell. TuBo cell line (E) was compared to passage 1 (P1), 2 (P2) and 3 (P3) mammospheres. Exon-level transcription profiling was done using Affimetrix GeneChip Exon 1.0 ST. Exon-level analysis is more complex than gene-level analysis. The number of probesets to be investigated is at least 10 times larger in number than gene-level probesets. Thus results, upon statistical analysis, are massively contaminated by type I statistical errors, i.e. false positive [Della Beffa et al. 2008]. Furthermore, exon-level probesets are based only on four probes, which makes exon-level signal summarization more noisy than gene-level, where signal summarization is based on the overall probes encompassed by all exons of a gene. To moderate these issues we have expanded the number of experimental replications: six for TuBo and passage 1 mammosphere, four for passage 3 mammosphere and three for passage 2 mammosphere. Furthermore, after data summarization with RMA and normalization with sketch quantile method, alternative splicing detection between epithelial and mammospheres passages, was assessed using MiDAS, a two way anova developed by Affymetrix for the detection of alternative splicing events. We considered suitable for further investigations the splicing events in common between the sets of exons detected as spliced in each of the following comparisons: E vs P1, E vs P2 and E vs P3.

Project description:Despite correlations between histone methyltransferase (HMT) activity and gene regulation, direct evidence that HMT activity is responsible for gene activation is sparse. We address the role of the HMT activity for MLL1, a histone H3 lysine 4 (H3K4) methyltransferase critical for maintaining hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). Here we show that the SET domain and thus HMT activity of MLL1 is dispensable for maintaining HSCs and for supporting leukemogenesis driven by the MLL-AF9 fusion oncoprotein. Upon Mll1 deletion, histone H4 lysine 16 (H4K16) acetylation was selectively depleted at MLL1 target genes in conjunction with reduced transcription. Surprisingly, inhibition of SIRT1 was sufficient to prevent the loss of H4K16 acetylation and the reduction in MLL1 target gene expression. Thus, recruited MOF activity, and not the intrinsic HMT activity of MLL1, is central for the maintenance of HSC target genes. In addition, this work reveals a role for SIRT1 in opposing MLL1 function. 11 Samples, 5 controls and 5 KOs with antibodies H3K4me1, H3K4me3, and H3K27Ac. One input Sample.
