Project description:Exercise has been correlated with retardation of tumor initiation and progression. However, it is unclear what are the molecular mechanisms behind this beneficial effect of exercise. In this study, we obtained RNA-seq data from biopsies of Lewis lung carcinoma tumors in a total of 16 mice, 8 with access to running wheel and 8 without (controls).

Project description:Exercise has been correlated with prevention of weight loss (cachexia) attributed to tumor initiation and progression. However, it is unclear what are the molecular mechanisms behind this beneficial effect of exercise to prevent cachexia. In this study, we obtained RNA-seq data from biopsies of muscle in 24 mice with Lewis lung carcinoma that reached 1 cm3 volume, 14 with access to running wheel and 10 without (controls).

Project description:We performed a series of 14 steady-state chemostat cultures of S. cerevisiae in biological triplicates, which orthogonally modulated either the growth rate under nitrogen limitation, or the amino acid metabolism of the cell under nitrogen or carbon limitation. The nitrogen sources in the AA subset were chosen to represent those that are preferred (NH4 and Glu) and non-preferred (Phe and Ile). This dataset allows us to account for gene expression changes that arise from changing growth rate and metabolism, which is necessary for a complete understanding of gene regulation.

Project description:Cell growth rate is regulated in response to resource availability including the abundance, and molecular form, of essential nutrients. In the model eukaryotic cell, Saccharomyces cerevisiae (budding yeast), the molecular form of environmental nitrogen impacts both cell growth rate and mRNA expression. Disentangling causal relationships between nitrogen availability, cell growth rate and differential gene expression poses a considerable challenge. Using experimental control of cell growth rate using chemostats, we studied the effect of variation in environmental nitrogen on differential gene expression. We find that the primary determinant of nitrogen-regulated gene expression is nitrogen abundance whereas variation in nitrogen source affects the expression of only a small number of transcripts with highly specialized functions. To study the dynamics of nitrogen-responsive gene expression we perturbed steady-state nitrogen-limited chemostat cultures by addition of either proline or glutamine. Addition of either proline or glutamine to cells growing in nitrogen-limited chemostats results in repression of the nitrogen catabolite repression (NCR) regulon consistent with nitrogen abundance, and not nitrogen source, being the primary determinant of nitrogen-regulated gene expression. We find that a transition from nitrogen-limited to nitrogen-replete conditions is accompanied by rapid induction of transcripts required for protein translation. We identified a reciprocal relationship between specific regulons required for protein translation (RP and RiBi) and the NCR regulon. Using mathematical modeling we find evidence that cells adopt a metabolically inefficient growth mode during this transition. By means of high resolution time series analysis we find evidence that rapid, and potentially accelerated, mRNA degradation plays an important role in remodeling gene expression programs in response to change in environmental nitrogen. We propose that the evolutionarily conserved TORC1 signaling pathway orchestrates the balance between protein translation and assimilation of nitrogen sources at the transcriptional level to optimize rates of cell proliferation. A total of of 102 samples were analyzed in different nitrogen-limited conditions using chemostats in both steady-state and dynamic conditions. A common reference obtained from an ammonium-limited chemostat growing at a dilution rate of 0.12/hr was used for all two color hybridization experiments.

Project description:One of the central goals of evolutionary biology is to explain and predict the molecular basis of adaptive evolution. We studied the evolution of genetic networks in Saccharomyces cerevisiae (budding yeast) populations propagated for more than 200 generations in different nitrogen-limiting conditions. We find that rapid adaptive evolution in nitrogen-poor environments is dominated by the de novo generation and selection of copy number variants (CNVs), a large fraction of which contain genes encoding specific nitrogen transporters including PUT4, DUR3 and DAL4. The large fitness increases associated with these alleles limits the genetic heterogeneity of adapting populations even in environments with multiple nitrogen sources. Complete identification of acquired point mutations, in individual lineages and entire populations, identified heterogeneity at the level of genetic loci but common themes at the level of functional modules, including genes controlling phosphatidylinositol-3-phosphate metabolism and vacuole biogenesis. Adaptive strategies shared with other nutrient-limited environments point to selection of genetic variation in the TORC1 and Ras/PKA signaling pathways as a general mechanism underlying improved growth in nutrient-limited environments. Within a single population we observed the repeated independent selection of a multi-locus genotype, comprised of the functionally related genes GAT1, MEP2 and LST4. By studying the fitness of individual alleles, and their combination, as well as the evolutionary history of the evolving population, we find that the order in which these mutations are acquired is constrained by epistasis. The identification of repeatedly selected variation at functionally related loci that interact epistatically suggests that gene network polymorphisms (GNPs) may be a frequent outcome of adaptive evolution. Our results provide insight into the mechanistic basis by which cells adapt to nutrient-limited environments and suggest that knowledge of the selective environment and the regulatory mechanisms important for growth and survival in that environment greatly increases the predictability of adaptive evolution.

Project description:Myocardial infarction (MI) is the leading cause for hear failure (HF). Following MI, the non-infarcted region of left ventricle (LV) is critical for maintaining heart function, and disruption of the LV contributes greatly to post-MI HF. Transcriptomic profiling by high-throughput sequencing was performed in a chronic HF pig model, to explore the molecular changes in the post-MI LV related to cardiovascular deterioration. Samples were taken from heart tissue of MI-induced pigs and from control pigs not subjected to MI. Regions of the heart where samples were taken included the site of ischemia (LV ischemia), area bordering ischemia (LV border), area remote to ischemia (LV remote) and the right ventricle (RV).

Project description:Sox2 is a master transcriptional regulator of embryonic development. Having found that Sox2 interacts with RNA-binding proteins, we designed an experiment to discover RNAs associated with Sox2 and other pluripotency factors. Briefly, we used RNA immunoprecipitation followed by high-throughput sequencing (RIP-seq) to sequence transcriptomes enriched for RNAs associated with Klf4, Nanog, Oct4, Sox2 and Suz12. For completeness, this submission includes all RIP-seq data from this study, although some of the data was only used for exploratory analyses. Such analysis indicated that it was important to include input samples for each of the the cell lines that were to be compared, to account for differences in gene expression (e.g. between J1-birA with and without bioSox2), and that overnight IP was more informative than 3 h IP. Therefore, the analysis described in the associated manuscript used samples from experiment batch 3 and 4 only (samples 11-18).
