Project description:In this study, we analyzed transcriptomic profiles from ivermectin-treated and -untreated B. malayi adult females using Next Generation RNA Sequencing technology at different concentrations (100 nM, 300 nM and 1 µM) and time points (24, 48, 72 h, and 5 days). Our analysis revealed altered expression of multiple genes involved in meiosis, as well as oxidative phosphorylation which were significantly down-regulated as early as 24 hours post-exposure. RNA interference phenotypes of the orthologs of these down-regulated genes in C. elegans include âmaternal sterileâ, âembryonic lethalâ, âlarval arrestâ, âlarval lethalâ, âreduced brood sizeâ and âegg shape variableâ. These changes reflect and provide insight into the mechanisms involved in ivermectin-induced reduction in microfilaria output and impaired fertility, embryogenesis, and larval development. Transcriptomic changes over several different time points and concentrations.

Project description:Age- and lactocrine-sensitive elements of the neonatal porcine uterine developmental program are undefined. Here, effects of age and nursing for 48 h from birth (postnatal day = [PND] 0) on the uterine transcriptome at PND 2 were identified using RNA sequencing. Pig uterine tissues were obtained from neonatal gilts (n = 4/group) within 1 h of birth [postnatal day (PND) 0], or 48 h after nursing ad libitum (PND 2N), or feeding a commercial milk replacer (PND 2R).

Project description:Intermittent hypoxia (IH) is a hallmark of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), which has been proposed as the major determinant of processes involving tumor invasion and metastasis. To study whether circulating DNA (cirDNA) in blood plasma reflects the changes that the tumor cells undergo under IH conditions, we used a xenografted murine model. Mice engrafted with TC1 epithelial lung and controls were exposed to IH or room air (RA) conditions. Plasma cirDNA amounts were significantly increased in mice exposed to IH (p<0.05). We found a significant correlation between plasma cirDNA concentration and tumor size, weight and invasiveness (p<0.05). Using a microarray-based approach, we identified 2,094 regions showing significant differential cirDNA modifications. System biology analysis revealed an association with molecular pathways misregulated in cancer progression and with distal and TSS-associated transcription factor binding sites. We detected clusters of highly variable regions in chromosomes 7, 13, 14 and X, which may highlight hotspots for DNA deletions. Single locus displayed high intragroup variation, suggesting cellular heterogeneity within the tissue may be associated to cirDNA release. Our result showed that exposure to IH increases the shedding of cirDNA into circulation, which carries epigenetic modifications that may characterize cell populations within the tumor that preferentially release their DNA upon IH exposure. 6 xenografted mouse samples were analyzed by microarray analysis: Mouse exposed to IH (n=3, XenoIH group) and mouse exposed to room air conditions (n=3, XenoRA group)

Project description:Immunogenetic studies in CLL revealed clonal expansions of T cells and shared T cell clonotypes between different patients, strongly implying clonal selection by antigens. Recurrent genomic aberrations associated with distinct abnormal expression profiles could represent an alternative source of potent immunogenic neoepitopes that might shape the T cell receptor (TR) gene repertoire in CLL. On these grounds, here we interrogated the TR gene repertoire of CLL patients with different genomic aberration profiles with the aim to identify unique signatures that would allude to distinct antigen selection pressures.The study group included 44 untreated CLL patients with who were categorized in 5 subgroups defined by a unique genomic aberration, as follows: +12, n=17; del(11q), n=10; del(13q), n=7; TP53mut, n=5; NOTCH1mut, n=5. Starting material was RNA extracted from blood mononuclear cells. TRBV-TRBD-TRBJ gene rearrangements were RT-PCR amplified and subjected to paired-end next generation sequencing (NGS). Bioinformatics analysis with a purpose-build pipeline and in silico prediction models were used for the profiling of the TR gene repertoire and the identification of neoepitope-specific TR clonotypes, respectively.

Project description:We compared transcriptome of monocyte-derived macrophages of 5 patients with GBA-PD (4 L444P/N, 1 N370S/N) and 4 asymptomatic GBA mutation carriers (GBA-carriers) (3 L444P/N, 1 N370S/N) and 4 controls. We also conducted comparative transcriptome analysis for L444P/N only GBA-PD patients and GBA-carriers. Revealed deregulated genes in GBA-PD independently of GBA mutations (L444P or N370S) were involved in immune response, neuronal function. We found upregulated pathway associated with zinc metabolism in L444P/N GBA-PD patients. The potential important role of DUSP1 in the pathogenesis of GBA-PD was suggested.

Project description:Background: Late gestational sleep fragmentation (LG-SF) is one of the major perturbations associated with sleep apnea and other sleep disorders during pregnancy. Objectives: To investigate the effects of late LG-SF on the epigenome of visceral white adipose tissue (VWAT) in the offspring. Methods: Time-pregnant mice were exposed to LG-SF or control sleep (LG-SC) conditions during the last 6 days of gestation. We performed large-scale DNA methylation analyses using MeDIP coupled to microarrays (MeDIP-chip) in VWAT of 24-week-old LG-SF and LG-SC offspring (n=8 mice/group). Univariate multiple-testing adjusted statistical analyses were applied to identify differentially methylated regions (DMRs) between the groups. DMRs were mapped to their corresponding genes, and tested for potential overlaps with biological pathways and gene networks. Results: We detected 2148 DMRs between LG-SF and LG-SC groups (p< 0.0001, MAT algorithm). A large proportion of the DMR-associated genes have reported functions that are altered in obesity and metabolic syndrome. Overrepresented pathways and gene networks were related to metabolic regulation and inflammatory response. Conclusions: Our findings show a major role for epigenomic regulation of pathways associated to metabolic processes and inflammatory response in VWAT. Furthermore, LG-SF-induced epigenetic alterations appear to increase the susceptibility to obesity and metabolic syndrome in the offspring. 16 mouse VWAT samples were analyzed by MeDIP coupled to microarray analysis: Offspring of mothers exposed to late-gestational sleep fragmentation (n=8, LG-SF group) and offspring of mothers mouse exposed to normal sleep conditions (n=8, LG-SC group)

Project description:The sequential activation of distinct developmental gene networks governs the ultimate identity of a cell, but the mechanisms by which downstream programs are activated are incompletely understood. The preB-cell receptor (preBCR) is an important checkpoint of B-cell development and essential for a preB-cell to traverse into an immature B-cell. Here, we show that activation of Mef2 transcription factors by preBCR is necessary for initiating the subsequent genetic network. We demonstrate that B-cell development is blocked at the preB-cell stage in mice deficient for Mef2c and Mef2d transcription factors and that preBCR signaling enhances the transcriptional activity of Mef2c/d through phosphorylation by the ERK5 mitogen activating kinase. This activation is instrumental in inducing Krüppel-like factor 2 and several immediate early genes of the AP1 and Egr family. Finally, we show that Mef2 proteins cooperate with the products of their target genes (Irf4 and Egr2) to induce secondary waves of transcriptional regulation. Our findings uncover a novel role for Mef2c/d in coordinating the transcriptional network that promotes early B-cell development. RNA-seq experiments were performed from Mef2c/d knockout proB-cells versus control cells to identify genes regulated by Klf2
