Project description:Cancer cells utilize a unique form of aerobic glycolysis, called the Warburg effect, to efficiently produce the macromolecules required for proliferation. Here we show that a metabolic program related to the Warburg effect is used during normal Drosophila development and regulated by the fly ortholog of the Estrogen-Related Receptor (ERR) family of nuclear receptors. dERR null mutants die as second instar larvae with abnormally low ATP levels, diminished triacylglyceride stores, and elevated levels of circulating sugars. Metabolomic profiling revealed that the pathways affected in these mutants correspond to those used in the Warburg effect. The expression of active dERR protein in mid-embryogenesis triggers a coordinate switch in gene expression that drives a metabolic program supporting the dramatic growth that occurs during larval development. This study suggests that mammalian ERR family members may promote cancer by directing a metabolic state that supports proliferation. Drosophila larvae were staged at a mid-second instar time point and hand sorted for developmental progression. Individual pools of isogenic animals were collected for each replicate. Three replcates were assayed for each genotype. The two genotypes assayed were a control wild type strain (w1118) and a transheteroallelic combination of err mutant alleles (err1/err2). Labled RNA was then hybridized onto Affymetrix microarrays.

Project description:Avian Pathogenic Escherichia coli (APEC) are a group of extra-intestinal E. coli that infect poultry, and are able to cause a variety of diseases, systemic or localized, collectively designated as colibacillosis. Colibacillosis is the most common bacterial illness in poultry production, resulting in significant economic losses world-wide. Despite of its importance, pathogenicity mechanisms of APEC strains remain not completelly elucidated and available vaccines are not fully effectives. In order to better understand which genes could be related to pathogenicity in different APEC isolated, a microarray analyses of two APEC strains representing: Swollen Head Syndrome and Omphalitis was carried out. We used the microarray methodology to evaluate the expression profile of two different APEC strains

Project description:The human Werner and Bloom syndromes (WS and BS) are caused by deficiencies in the WRN and BLM RecQ helicases, respectively. WRN, BLM and their S. cerevisiae homologue Sgs1, are particularly active in vitro in unwinding G-quadruplex DNA (G4-DNA), a family of non-canonical nucleic acid structures formed by certain G-rich sequences. Recently, mRNA levels from loci containing potential G-quadruplex-forming sequences (PQS) were found to be preferentially altered in sgs1 mutants, suggesting that G4-DNA targeting by Sgs1 directly affects gene expression. Here, we extend these findings to human cells. Using microarrays to measure mRNAs obtained from human fibroblasts deficient for various RecQ family helicases, we observe significant associations between loci that are upregulated in WS or BS cells and loci that have PQS. No such PQS associations were observed for control expression datasets, however. Furthermore, upregulated genes in WS and BS showed no or dramatically reduced associations with sequences similar to PQS but that have considerably reduced potential to form intramolecular G4-DNA. These findings indicate that, like Sgs1, WRN and BLM can regulate transcription globally by targeting G4-DNA. Cell culture conditions and media Human fibroblast cell strains (WS: AG05229, AG12795, AG12797; BS: GM02932, GM03402, GM16891; RTS: AG18371, AG18375, AG05013; Normal/Wild-type: AG04054, AG06310, AG09975) were obtained from the Coriell Repository (Camden, NJ), from donors matched for gender and of similar ages, and were at similar passage levels. Cells were cultured in MEM supplemented with Earle’s salts, 20% fetal bovine serum, 1x penicillin/streptomycin, and 1x fungizone in 3% O2 at 37oC and harvested for RNA extraction during active growth and at ~ 80% confluence. GeneChip microarray expression Total RNA from the 12 fibroblast cell strains was isolated by extraction with TRIzol (Invitrogen) and purified using the RNeasy system (Qiagen). Total RNA was amplified by in vitro transcription using the Ovation RNA Amplification System V2 (NuGen). The resultant cDNA was fragmented and labeled using the FL-Ovation cDNA Biotin Module V2 (NuGen), and then purified using QIAquick columns (Qiagen), as specified by the Ovation System manual. Labeled probe was hybridized to Affymetrix U133A 2.0 GeneChips, and ultimately scanned using an Axon GenePix array scanner. Statistical analysis of microarray expression experiment The output files were normalized by Robust Multiarray Average (RMA), using the R package GCRMA and gene expression levels were log2-transformed.

Project description:We explored the transcriptional response to parasitoid attack in Drosophila larvae at nine time points following parasitism, hybridizing five biologic replicates per time point to whole-genome microarrays for both parasitized and control larvae. We found significantly different expression profiles for 159 probe sets (representing genes), and we classified them into 16 clusters based on patterns of co-expression. A series of functional annotations were nonrandomly associated with different clusters, including several involving immunity and related functions. We also identified nonrandom associations of transcription factor binding sites for three main regulators of innate immune responses (GATA/srp-like, NF-kappaB/Rel-like and Stat), as well as a novel putative binding site for an unknown transcription factor. The appearance or absence of candidate genes previously associated with insect immunity in our differentially expressed gene set was surveyed

Project description:Soft tissue sarcomas are a diverse set of fatal human tumors where few agents have demonstrable clinical efficacy, with the standard therapeutic combination of doxorubicin and ifosfamide showing only a 25-30% response rate in large multi-institutional trials. Although liposarcomas are the most common histological form of adult soft tissue sarcomas, research in this area is severely hampered by the lack of experimentally tractable in vitro model systems. To this end, here we describe a novel in vitro model for human pleomorphic liposarcoma. The cell line (LS2) is derived from a pleomorphic liposarcoma that utilizes Alternative Lengthening of Telomeres (ALT) mechanism of telomere maintenance, which may be particularly important in modulating the response of this tumor type to DNA damaging agents. We present detailed baseline molecular and genomic data, including genome wide copy number and transcriptome profiles, for this model compared to its parental tumor and a panel of liposarcomas covering multiple histologies. The model has retained essentially all of the detectable alterations in copy number that are seen in the parental tumor, and shows molecular karyotypic and expression profiles consistent with pleomorphic liposarcomas. We also demonstrate the utility of this model, together with two additional human liposarcoma cell lines, to investigate the relationship between topoisomerase 2A expression and the sensitivity of ALT-positive liposarcomas to doxorubicin. This model, together with its associated baseline data, provide a powerful new tool to develop treatments for this clinically poorly-tractable tumor, and to investigate the contribution that ALT makes to modulating sensitivity to DNA damaging chemotherapeutic agents such as doxorubicin. Affymetrix U133 2.0 expression analyses were performed for 30 liposarcoma tumors, including 2 recurrences of 2 tumors. In addition, analyses were performed for three replicates of a tumor-derived cell line, LS2, as well as the tumor from which it was derived (5228). Finally, the Affymetrix Human Genome 50K DNA Mapping Array was used to determine copy number profiles for two Passages of LS2, as well as tumor 5228.

Project description:The molecular mechanism defining susceptibility of normal cells to oncogenic transformation may be a valuable therapeutic target. We characterized the cell of origin and its critical pathways in MN1 leukemias. Common myeloid (CMP), but not granulocyte-macrophage progenitors (CMP) could be transformed by constitutively overexpressed MN1. Complementation studies of CMP-signature genes in GMPs demonstrated that leukemogenicity of MN1 required the MEIS1/abdB-like HOX protein complex. Colocalization studies by ChIP-seq identified common chromatin targets of MN1 and MEIS1 that were associated with open chromatin and transcriptional activation. Transcriptional repression of MEIS1 target sites in established MN1 leukemias had antileukemic activity. As MN1 relies on but can not activate expression of MEIS1/abdB-like HOX proteins, transcriptional activity of these genes determines which cell is the cell of origin in MN1 leukemia. We have showed at the single cell level that CMPs, but not GMPs, are susceptible to MN1-induced transformation. To identify transcriptional differences between CMPs and GMPs that may explain this difference in susceptibilities to MN1 transformation we produced gene expression profiles (two biological replicates in each experimental arm) of bone marrow cells from MN1 leukemic mice and mature myeloid bone marrow cells (Gr1+/CD11b+) from healthy mice and compared those to already published gene expression profiles of CMPs and GMPs (Krivtsov, A.V., et al. (2006). Transformation from committed progenitor to leukaemia stem cell initiated by MLL-AF9. Nature 442, 818-822).

Project description:We studied the expression profiles of two different cell lines that were generated in our laboratory from tumors found in mice expressing the SV40 T antigen under the control of the upstream glucokinase promoter. The first cell line, called GKP2 cells, was derived from an insulinoma and expresses insulin and pdx1 along with other markers of beta cells. The second cell line, named GKP4 cells, was derived from periductal tumors that did not express insulin or pdx1 but expressed genes of the endocrine lineage, such as Isl1 and Nkx2.2. Interstingly, a small fraction of the GKP4 cells can spontaneously turn on the expression of insulin and pdx1, indicating that they could be islet cell progenitors. The aim of our project was to identify the genes expressed specifically in GKP4 cells. To do so, we compared the gene expression profiles of GKP4 cells with GKP2 cells using DNA microarray.

Project description:OBJECTIVE: MEIS1, a HOX cofactor, collaborates with multiple HOX and NUP98-HOX fusion proteins to accelerate the onset of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) through largely unknown molecular mechanisms. MATERIALS AND METHODS: To further resolve these mechanisms, we conducted a structure-function analysis of MEIS1 and gene-expression profiling, in the context of NUP98-HOXD13 (ND13) leukemogenesis. RESULTS: We show, in a murine bone marrow transplantation model, that the PBX-interaction domain, the homeodomain, and the C-terminal domain of MEIS1, are all required for leukemogenic collaboration with ND13. In contrast, the N-terminal domain of MEIS1 is dispensable for collaboration with ND13, but is required for Flt3 upregulation, indicating additional roles for MEIS1 in induction of leukemia independent of alterations in Flt3 expression. Gene-expression profiling of a cloned ND13 preleukemic cell line transduced with wild-type or Meis1 mutant forms revealed deregulation of multiple genes, including a set not previously implicated as MEIS1 targets. Chromatin immunoprecipitation revealed the in vivo occupancy of MEIS1 on regulatory sequences of Trib2, Flt3, Dlk1, Ccl3, Ccl4, Pf4, and Rgs1. Furthermore, engineered overexpression of Trib2 complements ND13 to induce AML while Ccl3 potentiates the repopulating ability of ND13. CONCLUSION: This study shows that Meis1-induced leukemogenesis with ND13 can occur in the absence of Flt3 upregulation and reveals the existence of other pathways activated by MEIS1 to promote leukemia. Establishment of pre-leukemic bone marrow cell lines following transduction with ND13 have been previously described (Pineault, Abramovich et al. 2005). In brief, lines were established from BM cells previously treated with 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) from (C57Bl/6Ly-Pep3b x C3H/HeJ) F1 (PepC3) (Ly5.1+/Ly5.2+) mice freshly transduced with the ND13-GFP or ND13pac virus and maintained in liquid culture. To generate ND13+Meis1 or ND13+Meis1 mutant BM cell lines, the ND13 BM cells were transduced by co-cultivation on irradiated (4,000 cGy) E86 producers for Meis1-YFP (or Meis1 mutant forms), respectively, for a period of 2 days in the presence of 5 µg/ml of protamine sulfate. Three independent experiments were performed for each of the four different conditions included in the study.
