Project description:Epigenetic modifications have emerged as central players in the coordination of gene expression networks during cardiac development. While several studies have investigated the role of histone modifications during heart development, relatively little is known about the role of DNA methylation. The purpose of the current study was to determine whether DNA methylation plays an important role in guiding transcriptional changes during the neonatal period, which is an important developmental window for cardiac maturation and cardiomyocyte cell cycle arrest. We used methyl binding domain protein sequencing (MBD-seq) and mRNA-seq to profile DNA methyation and gene expression respectively in neonatal hearts at P1 and P14 stages. Thousands of differentially methylated regions (DMRs) were identified between P1 and P14, the vast majority of which were hypermethylated. Gene ontology analysis revealed that these hypermethylated genes were associated with transcriptional regulation of important developmental signaling pathways, including Hedgehog, BMP, TGF beta, FGF and Wnt/b-catenin signaling. A significant enrichment for myogenic transcription factors and Smad2/3/4 binding sites was also noted among differentially methylated peaks at P14. This study provides novel evidence for widespread alterations in DNA methylation during post-natal heart maturation and suggests that DNA methylation plays an important role in cardiomyocyte cell cycle arrest during the neonatal period. mRNA-seq to profile gene expression in neonatal hearts at P1 and P14 stages (post-natal day 1 and 14 respectively) in three biological replicates.

Project description:Elevated plasma homocysteine is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease and stroke, however the etiology remains poorly understood. Elevated homocysteine is known to inhibit methyltransferases including DNA methyltransferases, but no methylome-wide analysis of elevated homocysteine has been reported. Peripheral blood genomic DNA methylation in 8 Singaporean-Chinese ischemic stroke patients (4 male, 4 female) with varying homocysteine titer and hypertensive status were profiled using methyl-CpG binding domain (MBD) protein-enriched genome sequencing (MBD-seq) on Illumina Genome Analyzer IIx. A methylome wide screen was undertaken for gender, total plasma homocysteine, hypertension and age. The data show considerable variability within the small cohort, including at genes which are related to one carbon metabolism and cardiovascular disease. Peripheral blood genomic DNA methylation in 8 Singaporean-Chinese ischemic stroke patients (4 male, 4 female) was profiled using methyl-CpG binding domain (MBD) protein-enriched genome sequencing (MBD-seq) on Illumina Genome Analyzer IIx. Methylation parrterns were correlated with homocysteine levels, lypertensive status, gender and age.

Project description:We profiled the gene expression/splicing program of normal and hnRNP U-deficient mouse hearts by RNA-seq. RNA-seq profiles of control and Hnrnpu mutant hearts at postnatal day 14. Hnrnpu mutant hearts were generated by breeding the Hnrnpu conditional knockout mice with Ckmm-Cre transgenic mice.

Project description:Nutrient starvation is an important survival challenge for bacteria during industrial production of functional foods. Lactobacilli are increasingly being used as probiotics in functional foods. As next-generation sequencing technology has greatly advanced, we performed integrative proteomic and genomic analysis to investigate the response of Lactobacillus casei Zhang to a glucose-restricted environment. L. casei Zhang strains were permitted to evolve in glucose-limited or normal medium from a common ancestor over a 3-year period, and they were sampled after 1000, 2000, 3000, 4000, 5000, 6000, 7000, and 8000 generations and subjected to proteomic and genomic analyses. Genomic resequencing data revealed different point mutations and other mutational events in each generation of L. casei Zhang under glucose limitation stress. The proteins expressed differentially under glucose limitation were found to be significantly related to fructose and mannose metabolism, carbohydrate metabolic processes, lyase activity, and amino acid-transporting ATPase activity. The integrative proteomic and genomic analysis revealed that the mutations protected L. casei Zhang against glucose starvation by regulating other cellular carbohydrate, fatty acid, and amino acid catabolism; phosphoenolpyruvate system pathway activation; glycogen synthesis; ATP consumption; pyruvate metabolism; and general stress response protein expression. The results help reveal the mechanisms of adapting to glucose starvation and provide new strategies for enhancing the industrial utility of L. casei Zhang.

Project description:A crucial step towards understanding the mechanisms underlying aging is to obtain an integrated account of the molecular changes during aging. To address this, we mapped the yeast (S. cerevisiae) transcriptome during the replicative lifespan of budding yeast using novel culture and computational methods.

Project description:We validated the technological and material transfers of the CINSARC signature. We performed both microarray and RNA-seq analysis and compared prognostic values based on the CINSARC classification. We measure significant metastasis-free survivals with both approaches. Additionally, depending on RNA degradation, transcriptomic analysis from FFPE blocks show similar CINSARC classification.

Project description:RNA seq analysis was conducted to determine gene expression in the day 14 ovine conceptus. This was used in conjunction with the day 14 PPARG ChIP-seq analysis to identify genes bound by PPARG which were also expressed or not expressed in the day 14 conceptus. Understanding changes in gene expression during early pregnancy is critical to improving fertility and reproductive efficiency in ruminants.
