Project description:Primary objectives: The primary objective is to investigate circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) via deep sequencing for mutation detection and by whole genome sequencing for copy number analyses before start (baseline) with regorafenib and at defined time points during administration of regorafenib for treatment efficacy in colorectal cancer patients in terms of overall survival (OS).

Project description:RNA sequencing data for a Ewing sarcoma cell line, A673 treated with DMSO or the LSD1 inhibitor, SP-2509. Monoclonal cell lines were generated by CRISPR/Cas9 mediated KO of mitochondrial genes MRPL45, UQCRFS1, and CYC1. These cells were treated with DMSO or SP-2509 to determine mitochondrial gene KO derived drug resistance.

Project description:Macrophages play fundamental roles in regulation of inflammatory responses to pathogens, resolution of inflammation and tissue repair, and maintenance of tissue homeostasis. The long (L) and short (S) isoforms of SP-R210/MYO18A, a macrophage receptor for surfactant protein A (SP-A) and C1q, regulate basal and inflammatory macrophage phenotype at multiple gene expression, translational, and subcellular levels in addition to their SP-A and C1q-mediated functions; disruption of L renders macrophages hyper-inflammatory, although the underlying mechanism had previously been unexplored. We questioned whether disruption of the L isoform would alter the global genomic responses. RNA sequencing analysis of SP-R210L(DN) macrophages revealed basal and influenza induced upregulation of genes associated with inflammatory pathways, including TLR, RIG-I, NOD, and cytoplasmic DNA signaling, whereas knockdown of both SP-R210 isoforms (L and S) only resulted in increased RIG-I and NOD signaling. Chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing (ChIP-seq) analysis showed increased genome-wide deposition of the pioneer transcription factor PU.1 in SP-R210L(DN) compared to WT cells. ChIP-seq analysis of histone H3 methylation showed alterations in both repressive (H3K9me3 and H3K27me3) and transcriptionally active (H3K9me3) histone marks. Influenza A virus (IAV) infection, which stimulates an array of cytosolic and TLR-mediated antiviral mechanisms, resulted in differential redistribution between proximal promoter and distal sites and decoupling of PU.1 binding from Toll-like receptor regulated gene promoters in SP-R210L(DN) cells. Our findings suggest that SP-R210L-deficient macrophages are poised with an open PU.1-primed chromatin conformation to rapidly respond to inflammatory and metabolic stimuli.
Project description:DNA copy number variations occur within populations and aberrations can cause disease. We sought to develop an improved lab-automatable, cost-efficient, accurate platform to profile DNA copy number. We developed a sequencing-based assay of nuclear, mitochondrial, and telomeric DNA copy number that draws on the unbiased nature of next-generation sequencing and incorporates techniques developed for RNA expression profiling. To demonstrate this platform, we assayed UMC-11 cells using 5 million 33 nt reads and found tremendous copy number variation, including regions of single and homogeneous deletions and amplifications to 29 copies; 5 times more mitochondria and 4 times less telomeric sequence than a pool of non-diseased, blood-derived DNA; and that UMC-11 was derived from a male individual. The described assay outputs absolute copy number, outputs an error estimate (p-value), and is more accurate than array-based platforms at high copy number. The platform enables profiling of mitochondrial levels and telomeric length. The assay is lab-automatable and has a genomic resolution and cost that are tunable based on the number of sequence reads.

Project description:Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a heterogenous respiratory disease mainly caused by smoking. Respiratory infections constitute a major risk factor for acute worsening of COPD symptoms or COPD exacerbation. Mitochondrial functionality, which is crucial for the execution of physiologic functions of metabolically active cells, is impaired in airway epithelial cells (AECs) of COPD patients as well as smokers. However, the potential contribution of mitochondrial dysfunction in AECs to progression of COPD, infection-triggered exacerbations in AECs and a potential mechanistic link between mitochondrial and epithelial barrier dysfunction is unknown to date. In this study, we used an in vitro COPD exacerbation model based on AECs exposed to cigarette smoke extract (CSE) followed by infection with Streptococcus pneumoniae (Sp). The levels of oxidative stress, as an indicator of mitochondrial stress were quantified upon CSE and Sp. The expression of proteins associated with mitophagy, mitochondrial content and biogenesis as well as mitochondrial fission and fusion was quantified upon CSE and Sp. Transcriptional AEC profiling was performed to identify the potential changes in innate immune pathways and correlate them with mitochondrial function. We found that CSE exposure substantially altered mitochondrial function in AECs by suppressing mitochondrial complex protein levels, reducing mitochondrial membrane potential and increasing mitochondrial stress and mitophagy. Moreover, CSE-induced mitochondrial dysfunction correlated with reduced enrichment of genes involved in apical junctions and innate immune responses to Sp, particularly type I interferon responses. Together, our results demonstrated that CSE-induced mitochondrial dysfunction may contribute to impaired innate immune responses to Sp and may thus trigger COPD exacerbation.
Project description:We introduce FACIL (http://www.cmbi.ru.nl/FACIL), a fast, reliable tool to evaluate nucleic acid sequences for non-standard codes that detects alternative genetic codes even in species distantly related to known organisms. Results are visualized in a Genetic Code Logo. To illustrate the use of our method, we analysed several contigs derived from the mitochondrial genome of the foraminifer Globobulimina pseudospinescens. These are particularly challenging data, as the genome is highly fragmented and incomplete. Approximately 10,000 single-cell Globobulimina pseudospinescens organisms were isolated by hand from Gullmar Fjord Sweden sediment. After washing, total DNA was extracted and sequenced by Illumina sequencing. The reads were assembled using Edena.

Project description:modENCODE_submission_4981 This submission comes from a modENCODE project of Kevin White. For full list of modENCODE projects, see http://www.genome.gov/26524648 Project Goal: The White Lab is aiming to map the association of all the Transcription Factors (TF) on the genome of Drosophila melanogaster. One technique that we use for this purpose is chromatin immunoprecipitation coupled with deep sequencing (ChIP-seq) utilizing an Illumina next generation sequencing platform. The data generated by ChIP-seq experiments consist basically of a plot of signal intensity across the genome. The highest signals correspond to positions in the genome occupied by the tested TF.
