Project description:Evaluation of X-linked gene expression in MEFs isolated from STC1 wild type and knock out mice X chromosome inactivation (XCI) is initiated in cis by the Xist RNA, which coats the inactive X chromosome (Xi) from which it is produced. We performed a large-scale RNA interference screen to identify trans-acting XCI factors (XCIFs) that comprise regulators of cell signaling and transcription. We find that the XCIFs promote Xist expression and/or localization to the Xi. One of the XCIFs, STC1, is a glycoprotein found in both the cytoplasm and nucleus and whose function is poorly understood. A homozygous mouse knockout of STC1 has a defect in XCI but surprisingly is phenotypically normal. We performed transcriptome profiling (RNA-Seq) experiments to determine whether the expression levels of X-encoded genes were elevated in Stc1-/- female MEFs. In these experiments, RNA was prepared from three independent cultures of Stc1+/+ or Stc1-/- female MEFs. RNA samples were processed and amplified followed by deep sequencing. The similarity of X-linked gene expression between Stc1+/+ and Stc1-/- MEFs was statistically significant. The vast majority of autosomal genes were also expressed at comparable levels in Stc1+/+ and Stc1-/- MEFs. Sequenced mRNA isolated from the STC1+/+ or STC1-/- MEFs.

Project description:UnlabelledTo discover new tumor-suppressor genes (TSG), we developed a functional genomics approach in which immortalized but nontumorigenic cells were stably transduced with large-scale shRNA pools and tested for tumor formation in mice. Identification of shRNAs in resulting tumors revealed candidate TSGs, which were validated experimentally and by analyzing expression in human tumor samples. Using this approach, we identified 24 TSGs that were significantly downregulated in human lung squamous cell carcinomas (hLSCC). Amplification of fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 (FGFR1), which aberrantly increases FGFR signaling, is a common genetic alteration in hLSCCs. Remarkably, we found that 17 of the TSGs encode repressors of FGFR signaling. Knockdown of 14 of these TSGs transformed immortalized human bronchial epithelial cells and, in most cases, rendered them sensitive to FGFR inhibitors. Our results indicate that increased FGFR signaling promotes tumorigenesis in many hLSCCs that lack FGFR1 amplification or activating mutations.SignificanceA functional genomics approach identifies new lung TSGs whose loss aberrantly increases FGFR signaling to promote tumorigenesis.

Project description:Mice bearing a G12D activating mutation in Kras consistently develop lung adenocarcinomas in a manner analogous to humans. By performing small and large RNA sequencing on KrasG12D tumors from F1 hybrid mice we were able to identify genes and microRNAs differentially expressed in these tumor samples. Quantification of reads that cover single nucleotide polymorphisms that distinguish between the parental mouse strains enabled an analysis of allele specific expression and imprinting status in these tumors. mRNA and small RNA fractions of mouse lungs and lung adenocarcinomas were deep sequenced in triplicate

Project description:Steroid hormones are well-recognized suppressors of the inflammatory response, however, their cell- and tissue-specific effects in the regulation of inflammation are far less understood, particularly for the sex-related steroids. To determine the contribution of progesterone in the endothelium, we have characterized and validated an in vitro culture system in which human umbilical vein endothelial cells constitutively express human progesterone receptor (PR). Using next generation RNA-sequencing, we identified a selective group of cytokines that are suppressed by progesterone both under physiological conditions and during pathological activation by lipopolysaccharide. In particular, IL-6, IL-8, CXCL2/3, and CXCL1 were found to be direct targets of PR, as determined by ChIP-sequencing. Regulation of these cytokines by progesterone was also confirmed by bead-based multiplex cytokine assays and quantitative PCR. These findings provide a novel role for PR in the direct regulation of cytokine levels secreted by the endothelium. They also suggest that progesterone-PR signaling in the endothelium directly impacts leukocyte trafficking in PR-expressing tissues Examination of PR target genes in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) using RNA-seq PR infected only (PR); PR infected followed by ligand treatment (PR+P); PR infected followed by 4h LPS treatment (PR+LPs_4h); PR infected followed by 8h LPS treatment (PR+LPs_8h); PR infected followed by 4h LPS and progesterone treatment (PR+LPS+P_4h); PR infected followed by 8h LPS and progesterone treatment (PR+LPS+P_8h)

Project description:Vascular permeability is frequently associated with inflammation and it is triggered by chemokines and by a cohort of secreted permeability factors, such as VEGF. In contrast, here we showed that the physiological vascular permeability that precedes implantation is directly controlled by progesterone receptor (PR) and it is independent of VEGF. Both global and endothelial-specific deletion of PR block physiological vascular permeability in the uterus while misexpression of PR in the endothelium of other organs results in ectopic vascular leakage. Integration of genome-wide transcriptional profile of endothelium and ChIP-sequencing revealed that PR induces a NR4A1 (Nur77/TR3) specific transcriptional program that broadly regulates vascular permeability in response to progesterone. This program triggers concurrent suppression of several junctional proteins and leads to an effective, timely and venule-specific regulation of vascular barrier function. Silencing NR4A1 blocks PR-mediated permeability responses indicating a direct link between PR and NR4A1. These results reveal a previously unknown function for progesterone receptor on endothelial cell biology with consequences to physiological vascular permeability and implications to the clinical use of progestins and anti-progestins on blood vessel integrity.

Project description:Scl/Tal1 confers hemogenic competence and prevents cardiomyogenesis in embryonic endothelium. Here we show that Scl both directly activates a broad gene regulatory network required for hematopoietic stem/progenitor cell (HS/PC) development, and represses transcriptional regulators required for cardiogenesis. Cardiac repression occurs during a short developmental window through Scl binding to distant cardiac enhancers that harbor H3K4me1 at this stage. Scl binding to hematopoietic regulators extends throughout HS/PC and erythroid development and spreads from distant enhancers to promoters. Surprisingly, Scl complex partners Gata 1 and 2 are dispensable for hematopoietic versus cardiac specification and Scl binding to the majority of its target genes. Nevertheless, Gata factors co-operate with Scl to activate selected transcription factors to facilitate HS/PC emergence from hemogenic endothelium. These results uncover a dual function for Scl in dictating hematopoietic versus cardiac fate choice and suggest a mechanism by which lineage-specific bHLH factors direct the divergence of competing fates.

Project description:5-hydroxymethylcytosines (5hmC) is particularly abundant in mammalian brain with little-known functions. Here we present the first genome-wide and single-base-resolution maps of 5hmC and 5mC in human brain by combined application of TAB-Seq and MethylC-Seq. We report that the majority of modified cytosines are hydroxymethylated in adult human brain, a significant proportion of which are highly-hydroxymethylated with enrichment in active genic regions and distal-regulatory elements. 5hmC is more enriched in poised than active enhancers, and CpG island shores and enhancers show comparable 5hmC profiles. Notably, 5hmC spikes were identified at the 5’ splicing sites, suggesting a link between 5hmC and splicing. Additionally, we identified a transcription-correlated 5hmC bias towards to sense strand and a 5mC bias towards antisense strand of gene bodies, and a bias towards C-rich sequences surrounding the 5hmC sites. Our data imply multiple roles for 5hmC in alternative splicing and gene regulation in addition to be an intermediate of DNA demethylation in human brain. Examination of hydroxymethylomes of 1 adult and 1 fetal brain tissue of frontal lobe, as well as 1 methylome of the same adult.
