ABSTRACT: Analysis of gene expression in Mouse Ter119+ erythroid cells Paired end RNA-seq analysis of PolyA selected RNA from Mouse Ter119+ erythroid cells
Project description:We looked for parent of origin effects on genome-wide gene expression in a reciprocal cross between C57BL/6J x B6(C)-H2bm12/KhEgJ mice (the latter strain is a knockout of H2-ab1 on a C57BL/6J background). The aim is to find genes whose expression is altered in trans depending on whether the mother or father carried a knockout allele for H2-ab1. In this experiment differential expression of a gene is inferred from a difference in its overall expression levels. We sequenced RNA from 30 F1 mice from the H2-ab1 heterozygous cross. Both heterozygous and wild type F1 animals were sequenced in order to find both parental and parent of origin effects. We measured expression in the lungs (average 6.2 million reads per sample) and hippocampus (6.6 million reads).
Project description:RNA sequencing was performed on RNA isolated from baseline biopsies from UC patients enrolled in the Phase II EUCALYPTUS study of etrolizumab. Gene expression differences were identified in a subset of anti-TNF naïve patients that achieved clinical remission at 10 weeks in response to etrolizumab. Baseline colonic biopsies from UC patients treated with etrolizumab were sequenced by the Illumina HiSeq 2000 Sequencing System.
Project description:Transcriptome sequencing of sorted CD127+ DN T cells, MAIT, NKT, and CD127+CD4 and Cbir DN to identify transcriptional signatures of CD4 and CD8 double negative T cells.
Project description:The goal was to study the effects of lead exposure on gene expression and identify the lead-responsive genes. After detecting 1,536 cis-eQTLs (FDR ⤠10%) and 952 trans-eQTLs, we focused our analysis on Pb-sensitive âtrans-eQTL hotspotsâ. 158 randomly selected Drosophila Synthetic Population Resource (A2) samples (control 79 samples and Pb-treated) without replicates
Project description:Upon virus infections, the transcriptomic profile of host plants markedly changes. The rapid and comprehensive transcriptional reprogramming is critical to ward off virus attack. To learn more about transcriptional reprogramming in tobamovirus-infected pepper leaves, we carried out transcriptome-wide RNA-Seq analyses of pepper leaves following Obuda pepper virus (ObPV) and Pepper mild mottle virus (PMMoV)-inoculations.
Project description:The development of autonomic nerve fibres in the tumour microenvironment is a pivotal event that regulates prostate cancer initiation and dissemination, but how nerves emerge in tumours is presently unknown. Here we show that Doublecortine-expressing (DCX+) neural precursors from the central nervous system (CNS) infiltrate prostate tumours and differentiate into neo-neurons that contribute to tumour development. In human primary prostate tumours and transgenic mouse cancer tissues, the density of DCX+ neural progenitors is strongly associated with tumour aggressiveness, invasion and recurrence. We found that DCX+ neural precursors egress from the subventricular zone, a neurogenic area of the CNS, and circulate in the blood to reach the tumour where they initiate neurogenesis. Hence, the DCX+ cells in prostate tumour can differentiate into neurons ex vivo and build up a tumour-associated neural network in vivo. Selective genetic depletion of DCX+ cells in mice significantly inhibits the early phases of prostate cancer development, whereas orthotopic transplantation of DCX+ cells purified from prostate tumour or brain tissues promotes tumour growth and cancer cell dissemination. These results unveil a unique crosstalk between the CNS and the tumour that drives a process of neurogenesis necessary for prostate cancer development, and indicate a novel neural element of the tumour microenvironment as a potential target for cancer treatment.
Project description:Activation of endogenously expressed KRas[G12D] in the pancreas of mice gives rise primarily to early stage PanIN lesions, however such lesions can occasionally progress to end-stage ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). Progression of KRas[G12D]- initiated lesions to PDAC is accelerated by modest expression of MYC from the Rosa26 locus. Deletion of 1 copy of endogenous c-Myc or both copies of endogenous Zbtb17 (aka Miz1), slows progression to PDAC and extends healthful survival of Pdx1-Cre;lsl-KRas[G12D];Rosa26-lsl-MYC[DM] (KMC) mice. Tumours were removed from mice with all 4 genotypes and validated by histological examination prior to RNA-SEQ analysis.
Project description:Regions bound by the erythroid transcription factors GATA1 and NFE2 and the general factor CTCF were identified in mouse erythroid cells using ChIP-seq. Chip-seq experiements were performed in mouse erythroid Ter119+ cells.
Project description:To examine the molecular phenotype of Suv39h2-deficits during early neurodevelopment, transcriptome analysis in the E11.5 brain of Suv39h2-deficient mouse and wild-type littermates were performed. The Suv39h2 mutation was made using CRISPR/Cas9n-mediated genome editing
