Project description:Reporter genes integrated into the genome are a powerful tool to reveal effects of regulatory elements and local chromatin context on gene expression. However, so far such reporter assays have been of low throughput. Here we describe a multiplexing approach for the parallel monitoring of transcriptional activity of thousands of randomly integrated reporters. More than 27,000 distinct reporter integrations in mouse embryonic stem cells, obtained with two different promoters, show ~1,000-fold variation in expression levels. Data analysis indicates that lamina-associated domains act as attenuators of transcription, likely by reducing access of transcription factors to binding sites. Furthermore, chromatin compaction is predictive of reporter activity. We also found evidence for cross-talk between neighboring genes, and estimate that enhancers can influence gene expression on average over ~20 kb. The multiplexed reporter assay is highly flexible in design and can be modified to query a wide range of aspects of gene regulation. TRIP assay of mPGK promoter; 6 experiments, each with 2 technical replicates.

Project description:This project investigates the role of protein biomarkers in differentiating the underlying causes of mortality among people with HIV (PWH). With antiretroviral therapy (ART) significantly reducing deaths from opportunistic infections, noncommunicable chronic diseases (NCDs) have emerged as a leading cause of death in this population. Our study seeks to identify protein signatures that distinguish AIDS-related deaths from those due to NCDs, aiming to enhance early risk prediction and inform targeted interventions.

Project description:A core task to understand the consequences of non-coding single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) is to identify their genotype specific binding of transcription factor (TF). Here, we generate a large-scale TF-SNP interaction map for a selection of 116 colorectal cancer (CRC) risk loci and validated TF binding to 10 putatively functional SNPs. Our data further revealed TF binding complexity adjacent to the 116 risk loci, adding an additional layer of understanding to regulatory networks associated with CRC relevant loci.

Project description:Environmental factors, including pesticides, have been linked to autism and neurodegeneration risk using retrospective epidemiological studies. Here, we sought to prospectively identify chemicals that share transcriptomic signatures with neurological disorders by exposing mouse cortical neuron-enriched cultures to hundreds of chemicals commonly found in the environment and on food. We find that rotenone, a pesticide associated with Parkinsonâs disease risk, and certain fungicides, including pyraclostrobin, trifloxystrobin, famoxadone, and fenamidone, produce transcriptional changes in vitro that are similar to those seen in brain samples from humans with autism, advanced age and neurodegeneration (Alzheimerâs disease, Huntingtonâs disease). These chemicals stimulate free radical production and disrupt microtubules in neurons, effects that can be reduced by pretreating with a microtubule stabilizer, an antioxidant, or with sulforaphane. Our study provides an approach to prospectively identify environmental chemicals that transcriptionally mimic autism and other brain disorders. 405 total samples, consisting of 297 unique chemicals and vehicle controls.

Project description:The goal of this study was to investigate the role of hnRNP L-like in alternative pre-mRNA splicing in human B-cells through an RNA-Seq approach. RNA-Seq was performed in DG75 cell line with over expression of hnRNP L-like or GFP as control.

Project description:Genes specific to Sox9+ pancreatic progenitors were identified by comparing the gene expression in embryonic and adult Sox9+ cells. We used microarray analysis to detail the global changes in gene expression as Sox9 positive embryonic pancreatic progenitors differentiatiate into adult ductal cells or the endocrine lineage. GFP positive cells from Sox9-EGFP mouse pancreas were isolated by FACS at different stages of development (e10.5, e15.5, and p23) for RNA extraction and hybridization to Affymetrix microarrays. To obtain populations highly enriched in Sox9 expression, we collected only GFP Hi populations for analysis. To identify gene expression changes specific to the differentiation of progenitors to ductal cells or endocrine cells, we also isolated and analyzed the gene expression profile of GFP negative cells isolated at p23, as well as GFP positive cells isolated from Ngn3-EGFP mouse pancreas at e15.5. These two populations allow the identification of genes whose expression is associated with the newly differentiated endocrine progeny in the embryo (Ngn3-GFP positive) and adult acinar and endocrine cells at p23.
