ABSTRACT: Purpose: The goals of this study are to compare transcriptome profiling (RNA-seq) resulting from a Mesp1Cre driven ablation of Hira in the heart at E11.5 and E12.5. Methods: RNA extraction was done in triplicate from Mesp1Cre;Hira-/fl and Mesp1Cre;Hira+/fl embryonic hearts at E11.5 and E12.5 using the QIAGEN RNeasy mini kit. RNAseq was processed by the ICH genomics facility, reads were aligned and normalised using BOWTIE and DEseq R package. Strand NGS 2.5 software was used to re-analyse the aligned files (.bam). By applying the Mann Whitney unpaired test, Benjamini Hochberg False discovery rate (FDR) and filtering the genes using adjusted p-value ≤ 0.05 and absolute fold change ≥ 1.5, 95 % of the results were identical to the DEseq package used by the UCL Genomics facility. Results: We identified 360 coding transcripts changed in the mutant hearts (Mann Whitney unpaired test, Benjamini Hochberg FDR, p ≤ 0.05, FC ≥ 1.5) with no trend towards up- or down-regulation of global transcription (48.8% down vs 51.2% up) at E12.5. Conclusions: This work analyses the role of HIRA in mouse cardiac development. It was found that Tnni2 is the most upregulated gene in the absence of Hira. qRT-PCR validation of 25 targets. Little (<5%) or no variation of fold change between RNAseq and qRT-PCR data were observed.

Project description:Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is a relatively common manifestation of systemic atherosclerosis that leads to progressive narrowing of the lumen of leg arteries. Circulating monocytes are in contact with the arterial wall and can serve as reporters of vascular pathology in the setting of PAD. We performed gene expression analysis of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) in patients with PAD and controls without PAD to identify differentially regulated genes. We identified 87 genes differentially expressed in the setting of PAD; 40 genes were upregulated and 47 genes were downregulated. We employed an integrated bioinformatics pipeline coupled with literature curation to characterize the functional coherence of differentially regulated genes. Notably, upregulated genes mediate immune response, inflammation, apoptosis, stress response, phosphorylation, hemostasis, platelet activation and platelet aggregation. Downregulated genes included several genes from the zinc finger family that are involved in transcriptional regulation. These results provide insights into molecular mechanisms relevant to the pathophysiology of PAD. PAD was defined as an ankle brachial index (ABI) <= 0.9 (n = 19) while age and gender matched controls had an ABI > 1.0 (n = 18). Microarray analysis was performed using Affymetrix HG-U133 plus 2.0 gene chips and analyzed using GeneSpring GX 11.0. Gene expression data was normalized using Robust Multichip Analysis (RMA) normalization method, differential expression was defined as a fold change [greater than or equal to]1.5, followed by unpaired Mann-Whitney test (P < 0.05) and correction for multiple testing by Benjamini and Hochberg False Discovery Rate. Meta-analysis of differentially expressed genes was performed using an integrated bioinformatics pipeline with tools for enrichment analysis using Gene Ontology (GO) terms, pathway analysis using Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG), molecular event enrichment using Reactome annotations and network analysis using Ingenuity Pathway Analysis suite. Extensive biocuration was also performed to understand the functional context of genes.
