RNA-seq of human breast cancer cell lines characterized by ERalpha-LBD overexpression or knockdown, compared to control cells (with or without fulvestrant treatment)

ABSTRACT: RNA-seq analysis was carried out to study the effect on transcriptome of ERalpha-LDB gain/loss-of-function in different breast cancer models. Total RNA was extracted and processed for the analysis.
Project description:BldB is a regulatory protein in Streptomyces and most species have a number of paralogs in their genomes. Deletion of BldB leads to a developmental deficiency and the colonies fail to produce aerial mycelium. In this experiment global gene expression was compared between the WT and BldB deletion strain of Streptomyces venezuelae NRRL B65442 after 10, 14 and 22 hours of growth in liquid cultures.
Project description:Expression of iosA is greatly activated in the bldB deletion strain. whiJ9 is divergently transcribed from iosA and the double mutant (whiJ9 + bldB) was made to determine if WhiJ mediates the activation of iosA in the absence of BldB.
Project description:Mitomycin C is a DNA crosslinking agent. This experiment was carried out to determine the effect of Mitomycin C on genome wide transcription in Streptomyces venezuelae NRRL B65442.
Project description:We have assessed the importance of SQSTM1 in human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived cortical neurons with and without SQSTM1. By combining high-content imaging, RNA-Seq, and functional mitochondrial readouts, we showed that SQSTM1 depletion causes aberrations in mitochondrial gene expression and functionality in iPSC-derived neurons.
Project description:ChIP followed by deep sequencing was performed with antibodies to ERalpha in U2OS-ERalpha cells treated with 17beta-estradiol. Examination of Eralpha binding sites in U2OS-Eralpha cells. Sequenced input was used as a control
Project description:The aim of this study was to examine the transcriptional changes that govern low nitrogen (N) and low phosphorus (P) responses in basal nodes and may be associated with tiller suppression under nutrient-limiting conditions. For this purpose, RNA-seq was conducted in 18 days-old hydroponically grown wheat plants 8 days after the introduction of the plants to the nutrient limitation. The three different treatments were: Control (10 mM N, 1 mM P), Low N (0.1 mM N, 1 mM P) and Low P (10 mM N, 0.01 mM P). In total, four biological replicates were included per treatment. RNA-seq was conducted in total RNA extracted from 6 basal node samples pooled together per biological replicate. In this study, the basal node is defined as the 0.5 cm of the main shoot base, which includes the apical meristem, lateral buds, leaf meristems etc.
Project description:The BldC gene is required for the formation of aerial hyphae in Streptomyces venezuelae. It is a 68 amino acid DNA-binding protein related to the MerR family of transcription factors. BldC deletion strains are bald because they initiate sporulation prematurely, omitting the formation of aerial hyphae altogether. This RNA-Seq experiment was carried out to determine and quantify effect of BldC on the expression of all genes in the S. venezuelae genome after 10 and 14 hours of culture.
Project description:In addition to the estrogen responsive element (ERE)-dependent gene expression, E2-ERalpha regulates transcription through functional interactions with transfactors bound to their cognate regulatory elements on DNA, hence the ERE-independent signaling pathway. However, the relative importance of the ERE-independent pathway in E2-ERalpha signaling is unclear. Our studies in infected ER-negative cell models with an ERalpha demonstrated that genomic responses assessed by microarrays from the alter cellular growth, death or motility.

However, the relative importance of the ERE-independent pathway in E2-ERalpha signaling is unclear. Our studies in infected ER-negative cell models with an ERalpha mutant (ERalpha 203/204/211E) that functions exclusively at the ERE-independent pathway demonstrated that genomic responses assessed by microarrays from the ERE-independent pathway to E2-ERalpha are not sufficient to alter cellular growth, death or motility. These findings suggest that the ERE-dependent pathway is the canonical E2-ERalpha signaling in model cell lines. Keywords: MDA-MB-231 cells
