Project description:Analysis of cerebella from Capicua (Cic) mutant mice and wild-type controls at 28 days of age (P28). Spinocerebellar ataxia type 1 (SCA1) is a fatal neurodegenerative disease caused by expansion of a translated CAG repeat in Ataxin-1 (ATXN1). The transcriptional repressor Cic binds directly to Atxn1 and plays a key role in SCA1 pathogenesis. Two isoforms of Cic, long (Cic-L) and short (Cic-S), are transcribed from alternative promoters. Using embryonic stem cells in which the Cic locus was targeted by an insertion of a genetrap cassette between exon 1 of the Cic-L isoform and exon 1 of the Cic-S isoform, we generated mice that carried this allele and backcrossed these onto a Swiss Webster (CD-1) strain for >6 generations. The resulting Cic-L-/- mice completely lack the Cic-L isoform with ~10% of Cic-S remaining. These data were used to compare with previous microarray data to determine the Cic-depedent pathogenic mechanisms in SCA1. Total RNA from cerebella of wild-type (n=4) and Capicua mutant mice (n=4) at 28 days of age was prepared and labeled according the manufacturer's protocols for the Affymetrix Mouse Gene 1.0 ST Array.

Project description:To characterize gene expression in Gata6 positive epidermal cells we analyzed a Gata6 reporter mouse in which the endogenous Gata6 promoter drives expression of mTomato. We performed flow cytometry followed by transcriptome analysis. We compared four subpopulations of telogen epidermal cells: Gata6+/Itga6+ cells, Gata6+/itga6- cells, CD34+/Itga6+ cells (which are Gata6-) and all remaining Itga6+ cells (Gata6-/CD34-). The RNA was isolated from age and sex matched mice. We compared four subpopulations of telogen epidermal cells: Gata6+/Itga6+ cells, Gata6+/itga6- cells, CD34+/Itga6+ cells (which are Gata6-) and all remaining Itga6+ cells (Gata6-/CD34-). The RNA was isolated from age and sex matched mice. Three biological replicates for each cell population were analyzed

Project description:In adult K14ÎNLef1 mouse, the overexpression of âNLef1, a B-catenin dominat negative, in basal keratinocytes leads to the conversion of hair follicles into multilayered epithelial cysts and ectopic sebaceous gland. To uncover in vivo changes in gene expression associated to âNLef1 activity, we compared the expression profiles of unfractionated keratinocytes in wild type and K14ÎNLef1 transgenic mice. Cells were collected from 9.5 week old mice, when the hair follicle are in the resting (telogen) phase of the hair growth cycle. At this stage the âNLef1 phenotype is not yet evident enabling us to detect early molecular events. We compared the expression profiles of unfractionated keratinocytes in wild type and K14ÎNLef1 transgenic 9.5 week old mice. Three biological replicates for each cell population were analyzed.

Project description:There are multiple stem cells in adult mammalian epidermis, but the mechanisms controlling lineage specification are poorly understood. To identify gene expression signatures of the three major epidermal differentiation compartments we micro-dissected individual SG, IFE and HF from adult epidermis. The RNA was isolated from age and sex matched wild-type mice and performed transcriptome analysis with Affymetrix Exon microarrays We micro-dissected individual interfollicular epidermis (IFE), hair follicle (HF) and sebaceous gland (SG) from adult tail epidermis. The RNA was isolated from age and sex matched wild-type mice. Three biological replicates for each epidermal differentiation compartment were analyzed.

Project description:Antiviral responses must be regulated to rapidly defend against infection while minimizing inflammatory damage, but the mechanisms for establishing the magnitude of response within an infected cell are not well understood. miRNAs are small non-coding RNAs that negatively regulate protein levels by binding target sequences on their cognate mRNA. Here we identify miR-144 as a negative regulator of the host antiviral response. Ectopic expression of miR-144 resulted in increased replication of three RNA viruses, influenza, EMCV, and VSV, in primary mouse lung epithelial cells. To elucidate the mechanism whereby miR-144 increases influenza replication within lung epithelial cells, TC-1 cells stably over-expressing miR-144 were infected with influenza A for 24 hours and the transcriptional profile was compared with those of infected control cells. This systems biology approach identified the transcriptional network regulated by miR-144 and demonstrate that it controls the TRAF6/IRF7 antiviral response by post-transcriptionally suppressing TRAF6 levels. In vivo ablation of miR-144 reduced influenza replication within the lung. TC-1 lung epithelial cells stably expressing miR144+miR451 or control vector were unstimulated (n=1) or infected with Influenza A/PR/8/34 (MOI=5) for 24 hours (n=3).

Project description:Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) were isolated from human bone marrow. Here, we have compared gene expression profiles of MSC at early and late passages and upon stimulation with transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-b1). Stimulation was performed with 1ng/mL TGF-b1 for 1, 4, or 12 hours as indicated. The goal of this study was to determine if senescence-associated gene expression changes and TGF-b1 induced gene expression changes are related. 24 samples were hybridized GeneChip Human Gene 1.0 ST Arrays (Affymetrix)

Project description:Parkinson’s disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disease worldwide and the first involving motor symptoms. Deep brain stimulation (DBS) neurosurgery treatment through electrodes implanted to the subthalamic nucleus (STN) improves dramatically the debilitating motor symptoms of the disease due to yet unknown molecular mechanisms. Affymetrix human junction prototype microarrays (HJAY) of blood leukocytes mRNA from PD patients prior to, and following DBS neurosurgery treatment on electrical stimulation were compared to these of age- and gender-matched healthy control volunteers. About 95% of all human genes undergo alternative splicing, and alternative splicing is involved in human diseases and specifically in neurodegenerative diseases. Thus, the goal of this study was to detect alternatively spliced genes in PD patients prior to, and following DBS and to predict the effect of these on the functional level of change at the transcript level (such as exon inclusion, intron retention and nonsense-mediated decay events). Understanding the role of alternative splicing in neurodegenerative diseases will open new avenues to future novel approaches for early detection and neuroprotective treatment enabled by the development of future genetic therapeutics targeted at specific modified splice variants. A total of 11 blood leukocytes mRNA samples were analyzed: four from Parkinson's Disease (PD) patients pre-DBS treatment, three from PD patients tested again post-DBS (while being on electrical stimulation), three from age- and gender-matching healthy control (HC) volunteers, and one PD sample pre-DBS sample was re-stained and rescanned .

Project description:Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), which reside in bone marrow niches, are exposed to low levels of oxygen and follow an oxygen gradient throughout their differentiation. Hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs) are the main factors regulating the cell response to oxygen variation. Recent studies using conditional knockout mouse models have unveiled a major role of HIF-1a in the maintenance of murine HSCs, however the role of HIF-2a is still unclear. Here, we show that knockdown of HIF-2a and to a much lower extent, HIF-1a impedes the long-term repopulating ability of human CD34+ umbilical cord blood derived cells. The defects observed in hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell (HSPC) function after HIF-2a knockdown was due to an increase in the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which increases the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress in HSPCs and triggers apoptosis by the activation of the unfolded-protein-response (UPR) pathway. Importantly, HIF-2a deregulation also resulted in a significant decrease of engraftment of human acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cells. Overall, our data demonstrates a key role of HIF-2a in the maintenance of human HSPCs and in the survival of primary AML cells. 2 controls and 2 shHIF2 CD34+ cell samples sorted from mice after 6 weeks of engraftment
