Project description:Fresh human HCC tissue and paired pertumor liver tissue were acquired, isolation of the infiltrating lymphocytes was conducted by discontinous density gradient centrifugation in Percoll. After removal of dead cells and incubation with components of TCRγ/δ isolation kit (Mitenyi Biotec), γδ T cells were positively selected from the single-cell suspension using autoMACS Separator (Miltenyi Biotec) with recommended programs. Then we employed whole genome microarray expression profiling as a discovery platform to indentify genes which are differentially expressed between HCC-derived and paired peritumor-derived γδT cells.

Project description:The role of TGF-M-NM-2-induced epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in cancer cell dissemination is well established, but the involvement of lncRNAs in TGF-M-NM-2 signaling is still unknown. In this study, we observed that the lncRNA-Activated by TGF-M-NM-2 (lncRNA-ATB) was upregulated in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) metastases and associated with poor prognosis. lncRNA-ATB promotes the invasion-metastasis cascade, which suggest that lncRNA-ATB, a mediator of TGF-M-NM-2 signaling, could predispose HCC patients to metastases and may serve as a potential target for anti-metastatic therapies. SMMC-7721 hepatoma cells were continuously treated with 10 ng/ml of recombinant TGF-M-NM-21 for 21 days. Total RNA recovered from three untreated cells and three treated cells were used to acquire different expression profiles of mRNAs and lncRNAs.

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are aberrant expressed in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) tissue and play a central role in diverse biological processes. We conducted a genome-wide miRNAs screening in 10 pairs of HCC tumor and adjacent non-tumor tissues to test the hypothesis that dysregulation of miRNAs in HCC tumor tissue are partially due to aberrant methylation in relevant miRNAs host genes. Taqman low density arrays were used to examine miRNA profiles in paired HCC tissues, and quantitative RT-PCR was used to validate candidate miRNAs for both discovery and validation sets. A cross-sectional study was conducted in 10 HCC tumor tissues and 10 adjacent non-tumor tissues in Columbia University Medical Center (CUMC), which is approved by the Institutional Review Board.

Project description:Heterotrimeric guanine nucleotide-binding proteins (G proteins) transmit extracellular signals from cell surface G protein-coupled receptors to intracellular effector molecules. Attention has been paid to the GM-NM-112 family members because they mediate cell invasion, migration, and tumorigenesis. In our findings, GM-NM-112 levels were higher in human HCCs than non-tumorous liver tissues. Array analyses using Huh7 cells stably transfected with GM-NM-112QL (an active mutant form) enabled us to extract the microRNAs dysregulated by GM-NM-112 active mutant. Of them, miR-122 was most greatly decreased. In addition, we found decreases of miR-200b/a, miR-192/215 levels. Dysregulation of the microRNAs changed the levels of key proteins associated with HCC cell migration/invasion. Huh7 hepatoma cells were transfected with pCMV or the plasmid encoding for activated mutant of GM-NM-112 (GM-NM-112QL). Stable transfectants were selected by incubating the cells in culture medium containing Geneticin for 3 weeks. We performed a miRNA microarray for the identification of global microRNA expression changes using WT-Huh7 and Huh7-GM-NM-112QL cells. RNA for each set was harvested from quadruple plates.

Project description:Topoisomerases are crucial to solve DNA topological problems, but they have not been linked to RNA metabolism. Here we show that human topoisomerase 3M-NM-2 (Top3M-NM-2) is an RNA topoisomerase that biochemically and genetically interacts with FMRP, a protein deficient in Fragile X syndrome and known to regulate translation of mRNAs important for neuronal function and autism. Notably, the FMRP-Top3M-NM-2 interaction is abolished by a disease-associated FMRP mutation, and several human genetic studies link Top3M-NM-2 mutation to schizophrenia and intellectual disability. Top3M-NM-2 binds multiple mRNAs encoded by genes with neuronal functions related to schizophrenia and autism. Expression of one such gene, ptk2/FAK, is reduced in neuromuscular junctions of Top3M-NM-2 mutant flies. Synapse formation is defective in Top3M-NM-2 mutant flies and mice, as observed in FMRP mutant animals. Our findings suggest that Top3M-NM-2 acts as an RNA topoisomerase and works with FMRP to promote expression of mRNAs critical for neurodevelopment and mental health. We have identified Top3M-NM-2 as the first RNA topoisomerase in eukaryotes. To study whether Top3M-NM-2 binds mRNAs in vivo and also to identify its genome-wide RNA targets, we performed HITS-CLIP (high-throughput sequencing of RNAs isolated by crosslinking immunoprecipitation; Licatalosi et al. Nature 456, 464-469, 2008). In this method, proteins are covalently crosslinked with bound RNAs in vivo, thus allowing specific mapping of the sites of interaction of the protein with the RNA. We cultured a HeLa cells stably-expressing HF-Top3M-NM-2 and irradiated the cells with UV to crosslink RNA and proteins in vivo. Following cell lysis, RNA was partially digested using various concentrations of RNase A. The RNA crosslinked to HF-Top3M-NM-2 was then immunoprecipitated with anti-Flag M2 argarose beads (Sigma). As a control, we also performed a mock immunoprecipitation using HeLa cells that do not express HF-Top3M-NM-2. The 3M-bM-^@M-^Y ends of the purified RNAs were ligated to a p32-labeled RNA adapter, fractionated by SDS-PAGE, and transferred to a nitrocellulose membrane. The p32-labeled RNA-Top3M-NM-2 complexes were detected by autoradiography and recovered from the membrane. The complexes were treated with Proteinase K to remove proteins. The RNA was ligated at their 5M-bM-^@M-^Yend to another RNA adaptor, and reverse-transcribed to cDNA. The cDNA obtained was fractionated a denaturing 6% TBE-Urea gel (InVitrogen), amplified by PCR, and subjected to high-throughput sequencing by Genome Analyzer II (Illumina). Sequenced tags were mapped to the human genome (hg18, NCBI/NIH) and to human RefSeq genes using ELAND program (Illumina).

Project description:In this study, we comparatively analyzed the members of the miR-449 family (miR-449a, miR-449b, and miR-449c) with regards to their target genes and functional effects in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Microarray analysis after transient transfection of miR-449a, miR-449b, and/or miR-449c in the HCC cell line HLE identified putative target genes of miR-449a, miR-449b, and miR-449c. For transient overexpression of miRNAs, the HCC cell line HLE was transfected with 50 nM Allstars Negative Control or miScript miRNA mimics. MiRNA mimics for miR-449a, miR-449b, and miR-449c were either single transfected or cotransfected in equimolar amounts (16.7 nM each). Global mRNA expression profiling was performed utilizing pooled RNA of three biological replicates per microarray and two microarrays per condition.

Project description:Immature cell populations, including stem cells and progenitor cells, can be found in M-bM-^@M-^\side-population (SP)M-bM-^@M-^] cells. Although SP cells isolated from some adult tissues have been reported elsewhere, isolation and characterization of human trophoblast SP cells remained to be reported. We used microarrays to detail the global program of gene expression underlying cell differentiation and identified up-regulated genes of SP HTR-8/SVneo SP cells or NSP cells were isolated using a FACS Vantage fluorescence-activated cell sorter (BD Bioscience, San Jose, California) using dual wavelength analysis (blue, 424 - 444nm; red 675 nm) after excitation with 350 nm UV light. PI-positive dead cells were excluded from the analysis. Sorted SP and NSP cells' RNA had been analyzed by microarray analysis.

Project description:We have studied the transcriptional, metabolic and photo-physiological responses to light of different spectral quality in the marine diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum through time-series studies of cultures exposed to equal doses of photosynthetically usable radiation of blue, green and red light. The experiments showed that short-term differences in gene expression and profiles are mainly light quality-dependent. Transcription of photosynthesis-associated nuclear genes was activated mainly through a light quality-independent mechanism likely to rely on chloroplast-to-nucleus signaling. In contrast, genes encoding proteins important for photoprotection and PSII repair were highly dependent on a blue light receptor-mediated signal. Changes in energy transfer efficiency by light-harvesting pigments were spectrally dependent; furthermore, a declining trend in photosynthetic efficiency was observed in red light. The combined results suggest that diatoms possess a light quality-dependent ability to activate photoprotection and efficient repair of photodamaged PSII. In spite of approximately equal numbers of PSII-absorbed quanta in blue, green and red light, the spectral quality of light is important for diatom responses to ambient light conditions. Continuous, axenic culturing of P. tricornutum was done as described in Nymark et al. (2009). The cultures were incubated at 15M-BM-0C under cool white fluorescent light (Philips TLD 36W/96) providing a scalar irradiance (EPAR) of 100 M-NM-<mol m-2 s-1 under continuous white light (CWL) conditions. Upon the onset of the experiment the cultures were synchronized by 48 h dark-treatment (D48). Thereafter the algae were exposed to blue light (BL), green light (GL) or red light (RL) provided by a waveband specific LED panel (SL3500, Photon Systems Instruments). The algae were exposed to 0.5 h, 6 h or 24 h of: 1) 230 M-NM-<mol m-2 s-1 of RL, 2) 100 M-NM-<mol m-2 s-1 of GL, 3) 50 M-NM-<mol m-2 s-1 of BL or 4) 100 M-NM-<mol m-2 s-1 of WL respectively. Three biological replicas for each of the treatments were harvested. Data for the white light exposure and 48h dark treatment is described in GSE42039, PMID: 23520530.

Project description:DNA affinity chromatography with the promoter region of the Corynebacterium glutamicum pck gene, encoding phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCk), led to the isolation of four transcriptional regulators, i.e., RamA, GntR1, GntR2 and IolR. Determination of the PEPCk activity of the deletion mutants M-NM-^TramA, M-NM-^TgntR1M-NM-^TgntR2, and M-NM-^TiolR indicated that RamA represses pck during growth on glucose about twofold, whereas GntR1, GntR2, and IolR activate pck expression about twofold, irrespective whether glucose or acetate served as carbon source. The DNA binding sites of the four regulators in the pck promoter region were identified and their positions correlated with the predicted functions as repressor or activators. The iolR gene is located upstream and in divergent orientation to a iol gene cluster, encoding proteins involved in myo-inositol uptake and degradation. Comparative DNA microarray analysis of the M-NM-^TiolR mutant and the parental wild-type revealed strongly elevated (>100-fold) mRNA levels of the iol genes in the mutant, indicating that the primary function of IolR is the repression of the iol genes. IolR binding sites were identified in the promoter regions of iolC, iolT and iolR itself, which presumably is subject to negative autoregulation. A consensus DNA-binding motif was identified (5M-bM-^@M-^Y-KGWCHTRACA-3M-bM-^@M-^Y) which corresponds well to those of other GntR-type regulators of the HutC family. Taken together, our results disclose a complex regulation of the pck gene in C. glutamicum and identify IolR as an efficient repressor of genes involved in myo-inositol catabolism of this organism. To identify genes that are potentially regulated by IolR, the transcriptome profile of the iolR deletion strain was compared to that of the WT using DNA microarray analysis. The strains were grown in CGXII minimal medium with 4% (wt/vol) glucose as sole carbon source and RNA was isolated from cells harvested in the early exponential growth phase (OD600 of about 5). The transcriptome comparison was performed in triplicate starting from independent cultures. The second replicate included a dye-swap.
