Project description:To determine which genes affected by loss of KDM5 in adults were direct targets, we carried out KDM5 ChIP-seq analyses. To valide this data, we utilized a previously generated fly strain in which the sole source of KDM5 is from a transgene expressing an HA tagged form of KDM5 expressed under the control of its endogenous promoter. Comparing genome-wide gene expression and KDM5 binding analyses in Drosophila adults, we demonstrate the primary function of KDM5 in adults is to activate gene expression KDM5. To investigate the link between KDM5 and H3K4me3, we carried out anti-H3K4me3 ChIP-seq from wildtype adults . Genome-wide, KDM5 and H3K4me3 peaks showed a similar distribution, with both peaking at the transcription start site (TSS) showed a striking overlap with the presence of H3K4me3.

Project description:Promoter-proximal pausing of RNA polymerase II (Pol II) is a widespread in higher eukaryotes. Previous studies have shown that GAF is enriched at paused genes, but the role of GAF in pausing has not been well characterized on a genome-wide level. To investigate the role of GAF in pausing, we RNAi-depleted GAF from Drosophila S2 cells, and examined the effects on promoter-proximal polymerase. We confirmed the importance of GAF for pausing on the classic pause model gene Hsp70. To determine the dependence of pausing on GAF genome-wide, we assayed the levels of transcriptionally-engaged polymerase genome-wide using GRO-seq in control and GAF-RNAi cells. We found that promoter-proximal polymerase was significantly reduced on a subset of paused genes with GAF-bound promoters. There is a dramatic change in nucleosome distribution at genes with reduction in pausing upon GAF depletion and intergenic GAF binding sites in GAF knock-down, suggesting that GAF allows the establishment of pausing at these genes by directing nucleosome displacement off of the promoter. In addition, the insulator factor BEAF, BEAF-interacting protein Chriz, and transcription M1BP enrichment on unaffected genes suggests that redundant transcription factors or insulators protect other GAF-bound paused genes from GAF knock-down effects. Three biological replicates of MNase digested chromatin from LacZ-RNAi and GAGA factor-RNAi cells.

Project description:To study the biogenesis of long non-coding RNAs transcribed during genome rearrangements in Oxytricha development, genome-wide localization pattern of Rpb1 (RNA Pol-II largest subunit) was studied from Oxytricha cells undergoing conjugation. Chromatin from 12hr conjugating O.trifallax cells was subjected to chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) followed by sequencing of Input and ChIP samples via Illumina paired-end sequencing.

Project description:The molecular factors involved in the development of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) remain poorly understood. Previous transcriptomic studies investigating the mechanisms of PTSD apply targeted approaches to identify individual genes under a cross-sectional framework lack a holistic view of the behaviours and properties of these genes at the system-level. Here we sought to apply an unsupervised gene-network based approach to a prospective experimental design using whole-transcriptome RNA-Seq gene expression from peripheral blood leukocytes of U.S. Marines (N=188), obtained both pre- and post-deployment to conflict zones. We identified discrete groups of co-regulated genes (i.e., co-expression modules) and tested them for association to PTSD. We identified one module at both pre- and post-deployment containing putative causal signatures for PTSD development displaying an over-expression of genes enriched for functions of innate-immune response and interferon signalling (Type-I and Type-II). Importantly, these results were replicated in a second non-overlapping independent dataset of U.S. Marines (N=96), further outlining the role of innate immune and interferon signalling genes within co-expression modules to explain at least part of the causal pathophysiology for PTSD development. A second module, consequential of trauma exposure, contained PTSD resiliency signatures and an over-expression of genes involved in hemostasis and wound responsiveness suggesting that chronic levels of stress impair proper wound healing during/after exposure to the battlefield while highlighting the role of the hemostatic system as a clinical indicator of chronic-based stress. These findings provide novel insights for early preventative measures and advanced PTSD detection, which may lead to interventions that delay or perhaps abrogate the development of PTSD. We used RNA-Sequencing gene expression to characterize both prognostic and diagnostic molecular signatures associated to PTSD risk and PTSD status compared to control subjects. Peripheral blood luekocytes gene expression was subject to transcriptional analysis for 94 service members both prior-to and following-deployment to conflict zones. Half of the subjects returned with Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), while the other half did not.

Project description:Control (+/cbtE1-UAS-cbt RNAi) or cabut RNAi flies (Tim-gal4, UAS-cbt RNAi) were starved for 16 hours and then exposed to food containing different concentrations of sucrose: 0, 25, 50 and 100 % for 18 hours. Fly heads were collected, RNA was extracted and RNA-seq libraries were prepared as previously described (Engreitz et al., 2013) For each sucrose concentration, two samples of cabut RNAi flies and one sample of control flies were sequenced.

Project description:The clinical presentation, course and treatment of methamphetamine-associated psychosis (MAP) are similar to that observed in schizophrenia (SCZ) and subsequently MAP has been hypothesized as a pharmacological and environmental model of SCZ. However, several challenges currently exist in accurately diagnosing MAP at the molecular and neurocognitive level before the MAP model can contribute to the discovery of SCZ biomarkers. We directly assessed subcortical brain structural volumes and clinical parameters of MAP within the framework of an integrative genome-wide RNA-Seq blood transcriptome analysis of subjects diagnosed with MAP (N=10), METH-dependency without psychosis (MA) (N=10) and healthy controls (N=10). We used RNA-Sequencing gene expression to characterize molecular signatures associated to METH and MAP status compared to healthy control subjects. Peripheral blood luekocytes gene expression was subject to transcriptional analysis for 10 MAP subjects, 10 subjects with METH-dependency without psychotic symptomics and 10 healthy controls.

Project description:Heat shock response (HSR) is critical for survival of organisms undergoing proteotoxic stress. Heat shock factor 1 (HSF1) is widely believed to be the master regulator of this response. Here, we examined the kinetics of the transcriptional response and HSF1 binding changes genome-wide after heat shock (HS) with high sensitivity and high spatial and temporal resolution using PRO-seq and ChIP-seq assays respectively in wild type and in hsf1-deletion mouse embryonic fibroblasts. The transcriptional response is rapid, dynamic, and extensive with activation of several hundred genes and repression of several thousands of genes. Although HSF1 is critically required for classical inducible Heat Shock Protein (HSP) genes, it is not required for the majority of gene activation. HSF1 acts mechanistically to promote RNA polymerase II (Pol II) release from the promoter-proximal pause, while recruitment and initiation of Pol II are predominantly HSF1-independent. Surprisingly, a major class of cytoskeleton genes is immediately (within 2.5 minutes) and transiently activated in an HSF1-independent manner. A second wave of regulation is characterized by robust activation or repression of new sets of genes. The broad repression of thousands of genes, a quarter of which are repressed immediately upon HS and the rest are repressed in the second wave of regulation, is mediated at the level of decreasing Pol II pause release and not at prior steps of Pol II recruitment or initiation. Notably, heat shock does not induce transcription of some previously defined HSP genes, and HSF2 â a homolog of HSF1 â does not compensate for the lack of HSF1. Together, these findings indicate that mammalian cells cope with stress by rapidly inducing pervasive and dramatic changes in transcription that are largely modulated at the step of pause release, and only a fraction of this regulation is HSF1-dependent.
