Project description:Purpose: To determine genes that undergo alternative polyadenylation in proliferating versus quiescent fibroblasts. Methods: Three different biological replicates (fibroblast strains, 10-1, 12-1, and 12-2) were used for generating proliferating and quiescent (7-day contact inhibited and 7-day serum-starved) cells. RNA extracted from these cells were used for library preparation. cDNA fragments were enriched for the junction between the poly(A) site and the end of the 3' UTR using a modified high throughput sequencing protocol (GnomeGen). cDNA libraries were created according to Gnome-Gen RNA-seq library preparation kit for RNA profiling except Amgen Ampure XP beads were used instead of the Gnome-gen size selector product to remove ligation reaction products before proceeding to the reverse transcription step. The libraries were sequenced on an Illumina HiSeq 2000 instrument. The sequencing reaction wasa run for 147 cycles. Reads from pol(A) enriched cDNA libraries were aligned to the genome using the STAR alignment algorithm after the computational removal of untemplated adenosines. Results: Polyadenylation site selection was significantly altered in approximately 10% of genes in quiescent compared with proliferating fibroblasts. Contact inhibited and serum starved fibroblasts had similar polyadenylation site selection profiles. Conclusions: Quiescence is associated with changes in polyadenylation site selection.

Project description:Purpose: Quiescence is a state of reversible cell cycle exit. Levels of polyadenylation factors decreases when proliferating cells become quiescent. The goals of this study are to determine the differential use of polyadenylation sites (changes in alternative polyadenylation) in quiescent vs. proliferating cells and also upon knockdown of polyadenylation factors. Methods: Two biological replicates of human dermal fibroblasts (12-1 and 12-3) were used for polyadeylation-site enriched RNA-seq on an Illumina HiSeq 2500 to compare quiescent vs. proliferating cells and polyadenylation factor knockdown vs. control cells. The reads were aligned to the human genome (hg19) uisng Tophat (2.0.14). The resulting bam files were used as an input to a python script provided by Gruber et al. (PMID: 27382025) to determine the counts for each polyadenylation site. Results: We observed a shift toward greater use of distal polyadenylation sites when the fibroblasts entered quiescence. We observed significant overlap between the genes that shift to greater distal site use with quiescence and CstF-64 or CPSF73 knockdown. Conclusions: The shift to greater distal site use with quiescence may reflect in part the reduced levels of cleavage and polyadenylation factors.

Project description:Purpose: Quiescence is a state or reversible cell cycle arrest. A previous study using microarrays (Coller et al., PMID: 16509772) revealed gene expression changes between quiescent and proliferating human dermal fibroblasts and defined a "quiescece program" of genes that change in abundance when fibroblasts were introduced into quiescence by one of three methods. The goal of this study is to perform high throughut RNA sequencing to determine global changes in gene expression between proliferating and quiescent human dermal fibroblasts. Methods: Three different biological replicates (corresponding to two fibroblast strains, 10-5 and 12-1) were collected in proliferating and contact--inhibited (quiescent) conditions. RNA extracted from these cells were used for library preparation. The libraries were sequenced on an Illumina HiSeq 2000 instrument. Results: Among the 19,673 genes monitored, 1,993 genes (10.1%) changed in expression two-fold or more, demonstrating widespread changes in gene expression with contact inhibition-induced quiescence. Fifty-two percent of these genes were upregulated in 7dCI compared with proliferating fibroblasts, and 48% were downregulated in 7dCI fibroblasts. Conclusions: There are widespread changes in gene expression as fibroblasts transition between proliferating and quiescent states.

Project description:Purpose: Alternative polyadenylation (APA) can result in the generation of transcripts that terminate at different locations within the gene, which can result in different 3' UTRs. 3´ UTRs are known to contain RNA stabilizing and destabilizing motifs that provide a platform for binding of RNA binding proteins. Changes in 3´ UTRs for the different APA-generated isoforms of a gene could allow for inclusion or exclusion of these RNA stability elements. The goal of this study is determine the stability (half-lives based on transcript decay) of APA isoforms in proliferating and quiescent cells. Methods: The proliferating and quiescent (7-day contact inhibited) cells were treated with actinomycin D to stop transcription and the cells were harvested at different time points (0. 2, 4, 8 hours) for RNA isolation and global sequencing of 3´ ends. The adaptors and polyA sequenced were trimmed from each read. The reads were aligned to the human genome (hg19) using TopHat (v2.0.14). The aligned read files were used to determine the counts of APA isoforms of each gene using the code provided by Gruber et al. (PMID: 27382025). The counts of the APA isoforms were fit to an exponential decay model to obtain half-lives. The entire workflow was performed for two biological replicates: 12-1 and 12-3 strains of human dermal fibroblasts. Results: In two different fibroblast strains (12-1 and 12-3), we found that isoforms terminating at distal polyadenylation sites were more stable than isoforms terminating at proximal polyadenylation sites in quiescent, but not proliferating, fibroblasts. Conclusions: The transition from shorter to longer isoforms in quiescent cells is associated with stabilization of the transcripts.

Project description:Brief summary: Analysis of gene expression in endothelial cells upon contact-inhibition. With this experiments we aimed to identify genes that are associated with the induction of cellular quiescence. Abstract from the associated publication: In contrast to the growing insight in the metabolic reprogramming underlying the angiogenic switch, little is known about the metabolic changes accompanying the quiescence of endothelial cells (ECs). Nonetheless, when dysfunctional, quiescent ECs (QECs) contribute to multiple diseases. Here, we report that QECs are not hypometabolic, but upregulate fatty acid β-oxidation (FAO), not for energy or biomass production, but for redox homeostasis. Hence, inhibition of CPT1a, a rate-controlling step of fatty acid breakdown, promotes a pro-thrombotic and pro-inflammatory signature of QECs by increasing oxidative stress. EC-specific genetic loss similarly elevates oxidative stress in vivo. Compared to proliferating ECs (PECs), QECs switch on a broad “vasculoprotective” metabolic program, involving (i) NAPDH production by the oxidative pentose phosphate pathway (oxPPP) and nicotinamide nucleotide transhydrogenase (NNT), and (ii) prostacyclin synthesis. Molecularly, pro-quiescent Notch signaling elevates FAO by upregulating CPT1a gene transcription. Thus, QECs switch on vasculoprotective metabolic reactions to ensure vascular health.

Project description:Many cells in mammals exist in the state of quiescence, which is characterized by reversible exit from the cell cycle. Quiescent cells are widely reported to exhibit reduced size, nucleotide synthesis, and metabolic activity. Much lower glycolytic rates have been reported in quiescent compared with proliferating lymphocytes. In contrast, we show here that primary human fibroblasts continue to exhibit high metabolic rates when induced into quiescence via contact inhibition. By monitoring isotope labeling through metabolic pathways and quantitatively identifying fluxes from the data, we show that contact-inhibited fibroblasts utilize glucose in all branches of central carbon metabolism at rates similar to those of proliferating cells, with greater overflow flux from the pentose phosphate pathway back to glycolysis. Inhibition of the pentose phosphate pathway resulted in apoptosis preferentially in quiescent fibroblasts. By feeding the cells labeled glutamine, we also detected a “backwards” flux in the tricarboxylic acid cycle from α-ketoglutarate to citrate that was enhanced in contact-inhibited fibroblasts; this flux likely contributes to shuttling of NADPH from the mitochondrion to cytosol for redox defense or fatty acid synthesis. The high metabolic activity of the fibroblasts was directed in part toward breakdown and resynthesis of protein and lipid, and in part toward excretion of extracellular matrix proteins. Thus, reduced metabolic activity is not a hallmark of the quiescent state. Quiescent fibroblasts, relieved of the biosynthetic requirements associated with generating progeny, direct their metabolic activity to preservation of self integrity and alternative functions beneficial to the organism as a whole. mRNAs were analyzed by two color microarray from two separate human neonatal dermal fibroblasts cell lines in proliferating, 7 days contact inhibition, or 14 days contact inhibition. Contact inhibited samples were co-hybridized to proliferating samples as a control, while an additional array co-hybridized the two proliferating samples to analyze reproducibility.

Project description:We have characterized the transcriptome of adult rat hippocampal neural stem and progenitor cell (NSPC) cultures. The NSPCs cultures can be reversibly arrested by the quiescence-promoting signal BMP4. We provide expression data from NSPCs grown as neurospheres for 4 days in vitro in the presence of FGF2 (proliferating NSPCs) or FGF2+BMP4 (quiescent NSPCs) showing that entry into quiescence involves major changes in the transcriptional profile of the cells.
