Project description:Hsa-mir-365-2 is one of the two precursors that give rise to miR-365. We discovered that miR-365 directly regulates a lung cancer and developmental gene termed thyroid transcription factor 1 (TTF-1 or NKX2-1). Hsa-mir-365-2 was transfected into NCI-H441 cells via retrovirus-mediated gene transfer. Arrays hybridized: Affymetrix GeneChip Human Gene 1.0 ST Array. A total of 4 samples were analyzed. The first two were H441 cells expressing hsa-mir-365-2 and the other two were H441 transfected with empty vector. The class comparison function (significant cutoff, 0.001) of BRB Array Tool (4.1.0 beta_3 release) was used to analyze for differentially expressed genes as a result of enforced expression of hsa-mir-365-2.

Project description:Recent data demonstrate that extracellular signals are transmitted through a network of proteins rather than hierarchical signaling pathways. This network model suggests why inhibition of a single component of a canonical pathway, even when targeting a mutationally activated driver of cancer, has insufficiently dramatic effects on the treatment of cancer. The biological outcome of signals propagated through a network is inherently more robust and resistant to inhibition of a single network component due to compensatory and redundant signaling events. In this study, we performed a functional chemical genetic screen analogous to synthetic lethal screening in yeast genetics to identify novel interactions between signaling inhibitors that would not be predicted based on our current understanding of signaling networks. We screened over 300 drug combinations in nine melanoma cell lines and have identified pairs of compounds that show synergistic cytotoxicity. Among the most robust and surprising results was synergy between sorafenib, a multi-kinase inhibitor with activity against Raf, and diclofenac, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). This synergy did not correlate with the known RAS and BRAF mutational status of the melanoma cell lines. The NSAIDs celecoxib and ibuprofen could qualitatively substitute for diclofenac. Similarly, the MEK inhibitor PD325901 and the Raf inhibitor RAF265 could qualitatively substitute for sorafenib. These drug substitution experiments suggest that inhibition of cyclo-oxygenase and MAP kinase signaling are components of the observed synergistic cytotoxicity. Genome-wide expression profiling demonstrates synergy-specific down-regulation of survival-related genes. This study provides proof of principle that synthetic lethal screening can uncover novel functional drug combinations and suggests that the underlying signaling networks that control responses to targeted agents can vary substantially depending on unexplored components of the cell genotype. RNA from VMM39, DM331, and SLM2 cells with/without mutations in Ras and/or Braf, treated with Sorafenib and/or Diclofenac.

Project description:Cell lines bearing MLL translocations (MV4-11 and MOLM-13) were treated with a potent, selective inhibitor of the DOT1L histone methyl transferase. Treatment of MLL-rearranged cell lines with the DOT1L inhibitor selectively inhibits H3K79 methylation and blocks expression of leukemogenic genes. Here we provide expression profiling data of cells treated with DOT1L inhibitor or vehicle control. MV4-11 cells were treated with 3 uM EPZ004777 (DOT1L inhibitor) or vehicle control (0.1% DMSO) for 2, 4 and 6 days. MOLM-13 cells were treated with 3 uM EPZ004777 (DOT1L inhibitor) or vehicle control (0.1% DMSO) for 6 days. For each unique conditon, 3 biological replicates were generated for expression profiling.

Project description:Analysis of the effect of electrical field stimulation frequency at the gene expression level. Electrical stimulation has been shown to mature nascent cardiomyocytes and alter their beating properties. The purpose of the array was to identify potential mediators of these effects. Total RNA was isolated from cardiomyocytes subjected to 0.5 Hz, 1 Hz, or 2 Hz continuous electrical stimulation for 7 days, compared to an unstimulated control. Three samples from each group were analyzed

Project description:To estimate the effect of protoplasting and sorting on low pH-regulated gene expression, we generated expression profiles for whole roots treated with low pH for 24 hours and whole roots that had been protoplasted and FACS sorted after 24 hours of exposure to low pH. Stress responses in plants are tightly coordinated with developmental processes, but the interaction between these pathways is poorly understood. Here we use genome-wide assays at high spatial and temporal resolution to understand the processes that lnk development and stress in the Arabidopsis root. Our meta-analysis finds little evidence for a universal stress response. Common stress responses appear to exists and, analagous to animal systems, many of them show cell-type specificity, suggesting a convergent evolutionary theme in multicellular organisms. Common stress responses may be mediated by cell identity regulators, as mutations in these genes resulted in altered responses to stress. Our results reveal surprising linkages between stress and development at cellular resolution, and show the power of multiple genome-wide datasets to elucidate biological processes. 3 replicates of protoplasted, FACS sorted whole roots exposed to low pH and 2 replicates of whole roots exposed to low pH

Project description:We are interested in examining the transcriptional hierarchies that are required for proper formation and function of the carpel margin meristem in Arabidopsis thaliana. The carpel margin meristem (CMM) gives rise to the ovule primorida (which begin to form around flower stage 8). We know that the loss of the seuss-3 (seu-3) and aintegumenta-1(ant-1) separately leads to a mild disruption of ovule formation, while the loss of both causes a complete loss of ovule formation. In this study we wanted to examine expression levels changed between each single mutant and the double mutant. We dissected out stage 8-10 carpel of each of the four genotypes (seu-3, ant-1, Col-0, seu-3 ant-1) pooling 15-25 carpels into one biological replicate. Then using 16 ATH1 arrays we hybridized, amplified and labeled cDNA to 16 arrays (4 replicates for each genotype). We then analyzed our data to reveal transcripts that went down in the double compared to either single mutant, and transcripts that went down more than additively in the double mutant compared to added level of the decrease of the single mutant levels. 16 arrays: 4 seuss-3, 4 aintegumenta-1, 4 Col-0, 4 seuss-3 aintegumenta-1. Each biological replicate was a sample of 15-25 pooled stage 8-10 carpels manually dissected by hand.

Project description:Genetic loci displaying environmentally responsive epigenetic marks, termed metastable epialleles, offer a solution to the paradox presented by genetically identical yet phenotypically distinct individuals. The murine viable yellow agouti (Avy) locus is a well-described metastable epiallele that serves as a visual epigenetic biosensor. The Avy locus exhibits a high R-value or ratio of inter-individual (Vi) to inter-tissue (Vt) variance in gene expression, characteristic of what we term the ‘Agouti Expression Fingerprint.’ We propose a novel method for identification of candidate metastable epialleles based on the Agouti Expression Fingerprint, defining candidates as loci with R-values greater than 1.5 on expression microarray. Using Expression data from tissues of the three germ layers (liver, kidney, brain), high variance in agouti RNA levels among isogenic animals coupled with low variance among tissue types in individual animals is demonstrated. Here, we provide proof of concept for the ‘Agouti Expression Fingerprint’; the characterization of epigenetically labile loci in humans will be crucial to the development of novel screening and therapeutic targets for human disease prevention. For expression microarray studies, total RNA was isolated from liver, kidney, and brain tissue from 10 male Avy/a mice (2 per each of the 5 coat color classes) at time of weaning and coat color determination (day 22). Using Affymetrix GeneChip Mouse Genome 2.0 arrays (Santa Clara, CA), we queried the entire mouse genome for candidate metastable epialleles that display the Agouti Fingerprint. Approximately 100 of the greater than 40,000 transcripts on the mouse array displayed an expression pattern characterized as high inter-individual variation coupled with low inter-tissue variation (R-value > 1.5).

Project description:We isolated the meristematic and elongation zones of Col-0, upb1-1 mutant and 35S::UPB1-3YFP/upb1-1 plants by micro-dissection and extracted RNA from each section independently. To identify genes that might mediate UPB1 function we conducted a series of microarray experiments. The spatial distribution of the UPB1 protein suggested that it might exert a different effect on gene expression in the meristematic and elongation zones. Therefore, we isolated the meristematic and elongation zones by micro-dissection and extracted RNA from each section independently. Total RNA was isolated from approximately 60 meristem- and elongation zones of Col-0, upb1-1 and 35S::UPB1-3YFP #2 6 day old plants. Two biological replicates were performed for each experiment.

Project description:We have derived hESC from biopsied blastomeres of cleavage stage embryos under virtually the same conditions we used for the derivation of hESC lines from inner cell mass of blastocyst stage embryos. Blastomere-derived hESC lines exhibited all the standard characteristics of hESC including undifferentiated proliferation, genomic stability, expression of pluripotency markers and the ability to differentiate into the cells of all three germ layers both in vitro and in vivo. To examine whether hESC lines derived from two developmental stages of the embryo differ in gene expression, we have subjected three blastomere-derived hESC lines and two ICM-derived hESC lines grown under identical culture conditions to transcriptome analysis using gene expression arrays. Unlike previously reported comparisons of hESC lines which demonstrated, apart from core hESC-associated pluripotency signature, significant variations in gene expression profiles of different lines, our data show that hESC lines derived and grown under well-controlled defined culture conditions adopt nearly identical gene expression profiles. Moreover, blastomere-derived and ICM-derived hESC exhibited very similar transcriptional profiles independent of the developmental stage of the embryo from which they originated. Furthermore, this profile was evident in very early passages of the cells and did not appear to be affected by extensive passaging. These results suggest that during derivation process cells which give rise to hESC acquire virtually identical stable phenotype and are not affected by the developmental stage of the starting cell population. we investigated whether human stem cell lines derived from late totipotent blastomeres of the cleavage stage embryo develop a more “primitive” phenotype than ICM-derived lines by profiling their respective gene expression, molecular regulation and signaling pathways. In this study, we examined whether the inherent differences in the development stage of the starting embryonic cell population are maintained in the derived hESC lines by evaluating the stemness, differentiation capacity and gene expression profiles of blastomere- and ICM-derived hESC lines.

Project description:A key question in developmental biology is how cells exchange positional information for proper patterning during organ development. In plant roots the radial tissue organization is highly conserved with a central vascular cylinder in which two water conducting cell types, protoxylem and metaxylem, are patterned centripetally. We show that this patterning occurs through crosstalk between the vascular cylinder and the surrounding endodermis mediated by cell-to-cell movement of a transcription factor in one direction and microRNAs in the other. SHORT ROOT, produced in the vascular cylinder, moves into the endodermis to activate SCARECROW. Together these transcription factors activate MIR165a and 166b. Endodermally produced miR165/6 then acts to degrade its target mRNAs encoding class III homeodomain-leucine zipper transcription factors in the endodermis and stele periphery. The resulting differential distribution of target mRNA in the vascular cylinder determines xylem cell types in a dosage dependent manner. To investigate the global regulation of SHR and SCR in the root, direct and indirect target genes of SHR and SCR were cross-compared with selected cell type specific expression profiles in the Arabidopsis root published in Birnbaum et al. (2003), Nawy et al. (2005), Lee et al. (2006), and Brady et al. (2007) [pubmed IDs: 14671301, 15937229, 16581911, 17975066]. Furthermore, the mature endodermis specific transcript profiles were generated using a GFP marker line, E30, and used together with published profiles in this comparison.
