Project description:The COPENHAGEN Puberty Study is a combined cross sectional and longitudinal population based cohort study of healthy Danish children and adolescents. The clinical evaluations were performed by trained physicians and included pubertal staging of breast development according to Tanner´s classification evaluated by palpation. As a measure of pubertal onset a testicular volume of 4 ml or a breast tanner stage of B2 or more was used for boys and girls, respectively. The mean age between two examinations where this threshold was reached was used as their age of pubertal onset. Pre- and post-pubertal samples from 20 girls and 31 boys, in total 102 samples, were normalised using a Subset quantile Within-Array Normalization (SWAN) procedure and probes containing SNPs in the CpG or extension sites were removed.

Project description:Genome wide expression profiling of white blood cells in obese patients under two different diets (The American Heart Association's Diet and RESMENA diet (Zulet MA et al., Nutr Hosp. 2011 Jan-Feb;26(1):16-26. )) in order to reduce weight. The Illumina HumanHT-12 v4 Expression BeadChip Kit was used, which assayed 47,000 probes.A total of 24 RNA was purified from white blood cells using a TRIZOL RNA Isolation Protocol (Life technologies) and 500 ng of starting material were used as input for the Illumina TotalPrep Amplification Kit. Next, The Illumina GenomeStudio Gene Expression Software Module (v 1.9.0, Illumina, USA) was used to extract the signal intensities of each gene expression probe, which were then further preprocessed using the lumi package of Bioconductor in R. The preprocessing included background correction of the gene expression data, followed by log2-transformation and quantile normalization. It also automatically removes the control probes, leaving only the regular probes. We keep probes that are expressed in at least one individual according to a detection p-values of 5%. Assays containg SNPs within the probe were removed.

Project description:Abstract The proper identification of differentially methylated CpGs is central in most epigenetic studies. The Illumina Human Methylation 450k BeadChip is widely used to quantify DNA methylation, nevertheless the design of an appropriate analysis pipeline faces severe challenges due to the convolution of biological and technical variability and the presence of a signal bias between Infinium I and II probe design types. Despite recent attempts to investigate how to analyze DNA methylation data with such an array design, it has not been possible to perform a comprehensive comparison between different bioinformatics pipelines due to the lack of appropriate datasets having both large sample size and sufficient number of technical replicates. Here we perform such a comparative analysis, targeting the problems of reducing the technical variability, eliminating the probe design bias and reducing the batch effect by exploiting two unpublished datasets, which included technical replicates and were profiled for DNA methylation either on peripheral blood, monocytes or muscle biopsies. We evaluated the performance of different analysis pipelines and demonstrated that a) it is critical to correct for the probe design type, since the amplitude of the measured methylation change depends on the underlying chemistry; b) the effect of different normalization schemes is mixed, and the most effective method in our hands were quantile normalization and Beta Mixture Quantile dilation (BMIQ); c) it is beneficial to correct for batch effects. In conclusion, our comparative analysis using a comprehensive dataset suggests an efficient pipeline for proper identification of differentially methylated CpGs using the Illumina 450k arrays. DNA samples from peripheral blood or CD14+ monocytes were included in the study. DNA methylation levels were profiled using Illumina 450K arrays. Specifically, 50 biological sample replicates from PB and 36 biological sample replicates from monocytes were randomly assigned to 8 BeadChips with technical replicates and processed in one run (a total of 96 DNA samples). Eight samples were technically replicated in pairs, while one sample was represented in a trio of replicates. Different analysis pipelines were compared, however, the file uploaded refers to the best scored. In our publication we used this one to make all analyses and conclusions.

Project description:The gene expression signature of seven surgically removed intracranial temporal fossa arachnoid cysts was generated with two normal arachnoid membrane samples as control. Briefly, we used the Qiagen RNeasy minikit (QIAGEN GmbH Germany, Qiagen) to extract total RNA. After RNA quality and quantity assessment, we then constructed cDNA with RT-PCR reagents (Applied Biosystems, U.S). Gene expression microarray analysis was performed on the ABI 1700 Expression Array System (Applied Biosystems, U.S) using the Applied Biosystems Chemo luminescent RT-IVT Labeling Kit and Human Genome microarray (Applied Biosystems, U.S). Signal intensities generated with the ABI 1700 Expression Array System (Applied Biosystems, U.S) were imported into the J-Express Pro 2.7 software (MolMine AS, Bergen, Norway), where inter-array quantile normalization was performed to minimize the effect of external variables into the data. All control spots and flagged spots were removed, leaving 33096 gene probes available for analysis. First, we performed an unsupervised hierarchical cluster analysis in which the group belonging of the samples was defined. Second, we used Significance Analysis of Microarrays (SAM) with 400 and 1000 permutations to compare AC and AM samples and generate gene lists of differentially expressed genes between these groups. With SAM the false discovery rate (FDR) of the gene lists was calculated. FDR returned the number of false positive genes present on the gene list. A measure of FDR is the Q value, which conveniently shows an estimation of the FDR in percent. In the current study only genes with a Q value <1.0 % were accepted as being differentially expressed. A quantile normalized data set consisting of 33096 individual gene probes for each sample was subjected to Significance Analysis of Microarrays.

Project description:This dataset includes raw data (.idat) for the Illumina Human450k beadchip and methylation levels (.txt files). Methylation level were treated for normalization and background substraction. We removed probes with at least one of the following characteristics: (1) weak signal (p > 0.01) (2128 CpG sites), (2) SNP-enriched sites (4100 sites), (3) out of a CpG context (not on a CG) (3149 sites), or (4) located on sex chromosomes (11,129 sites). A total of 465,071 CpG sites were analyzed initially. Signal was then normalized, first by scaling to the internal controls using the methylumi R package, then by applying the method of subset-quantile within array normalization (SWAN) implemented in the minfi R package.

Project description:Effect of lentiviral mediated overexpression of miR-203 in mouse cortical neurons at different days in vivo Total RNA isolated from E15 cortical cultures using QIAGEN miRNeasy mini kit (QIAGEN; 217004) were processed on an Illumina mouse Ref8 v2 beadchip microarrays following the manufacture’s protocol. Microarray data analysis was performed using R and Bioconductor packages. Raw expression data were log2 transformed and normalized by quantile normalization. Probes were considered robustly expressed if the detection P value was 0.05 for at least half of the samples in the data set. Probes were re-mapped to mouse Ensembl gene IDs (v67; May 2012 data freeze) for comparison with RNA-sequencing data.

Project description:Label-free quantification is a powerful method for studying cellular protein phosphorylation dynamics. However, whether current data normalization methods achieve sufficient accuracy has not been examined systematically. Here, we demonstrate that a large uni-directional shift in the phosphopeptide abundance distribution is problematic for global median centering and quantile-based normalizations and may mislead the biological conclusion from unlabeled phosphoproteome data. Instead, we present a novel normalization strategy, named pairwise normalization, which is based on adjusting phosphopeptide abundances measured before and after the enrichment. The superior performance of pairwise normalization was validated by statistical methods, western blotting analysis, and by bioinformatics analysis. In addition, we demonstrate that the choice of normalization method influences the downstream analyses of the data and perceived pathway activities. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the developed normalization method, combined with pathway analysis algorithms, revealed a novel biological synergism between Ras signalling and PP2A inhibition by CIP2A.

Project description:The potential for epigenetic changes in host cells following microbial infection has been widely suggested, but few examples have been reported. We assessed genome-wide patterns of DNA methylation in human macrophage-like U937 cells following infection with Burkholderia pseudomallei, an intracellular bacterial pathogen and the causative agent of human melioidosis. Our analyses revealed significant changes in host cell DNA methylation, at multiple CpG sites in the host cell genome, following infection. Infection induced differentially methylated probes (iDMPs) showing the greatest changes in DNA methylation were found to be in the vicinity of genes involved in inflammatory responses, intracellular signalling, apoptosis and pathogen-induced signalling. A comparison of our data with reported methylome changes in cells infected with M. tuberculosis revealed commonality of differentially methylated genes, including genes involved in T cell responses (BCL11B, FOXO1, KIF13B, PAWR, SOX4, SYK), actin cytoskeleton organisation (ACTR3, CDC42BPA, DTNBP1, FERMT2, PRKCZ, RAC1), and cytokine production (FOXP1, IRF8, MR1). Overall our findings show that pathogenic-specific and pathogen-common changes in the methylome occur following infection. The human leukemic monocyte lymphoma cell line (U937, ATCC CRL-1593.2) was maintained in RPMI 1640 supplemented with 10% foetal bovine serum (FBS) at 37°C. U937 cells were differentiated to macrophage-like cells following exposure to 20 ng/ml (final concentration) of phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) for 48 hours at 37°C and differentiation evidenced by increased adherence to tissue culture flasks. Overnight cultures of B. pseudomallei K96243 were diluted in L-15 medium and added to differentiated U937 cells at a multiplicity of infection (MOI) of 10. Uninfected controls were overlaid with L15 medium only. The cells were then incubated at 37°C to allow infection. The cells were washed 3 times with PBS and incubated with fresh L15 medium containing 1mg/ml kanamycin to kill extracellular bacteria. At appropriate time points the cells were washed 3 times in warm PBS and lysed with 0.1% (vol/vol) Triton X-100. DNA was isolated using an AllPrep kit (Qiagen) and stored at -80ºC until required. DNA yield was measured using a Nanodrop instrument with measurements between 22.8 â 50.6 ng/ul. Two experiments were carried out using the above procedure. In Experiment 1, DNA was collected from uninfected and infected cells at 2 hours (T2), and 4 hours (T4) post infection (2 biological replicates and 2 technical replicates from each group). In Experiment 2, DNA was collected from uninfected and infected cells at 1 hour (T1), 2 hours (T2), 3 hours (T3) and 4 hours (T4) post infection (1 sample from each group). The DNA methylation profile was determined using the Infinium HumanMethylation450 BeadChip (450K) (Illumina Inc.) following the manufacturerâs instructions. The data was extracted and the initial analysis was performed using GenomeStudio (2010.3) methylation module (1.8.5). Quality control checks and quantile normalisation were implemented using WateRmelon. Samples with more than 1% of sites with a detection p-value greater than 0.05 were removed as were probes with 1% of samples with a detection p-value greater than 0.05. Probes were removed if they had a bead count less than 3 in 1% of samples. Cross-hybridizing probes were removed, leaving 425496 probes for analysis. Here we report DNA methylation profile of 18 samples (10 infected and 8 control).
