Project description:Myc is a well known transcription factor with important roles in cell cycle, apoptosis and cellular transformation. Long non-coding (lnc)RNAs have recently emerged as a important class of regulatory RNAs. Here, we show that lncRNAs are an extensive component of the Myc-regulated transcriptional program. Using the P493-6 inducible Myc model we demonstrate that both Myc-induced mRNAs and lncRNAs were significant enriched for Myc binding sites. In contrast to Myc-repressed mRNAs, Myc-repressed lncRNAs were significantly enriched for Myc binding sites. Subcellular localization analysis revealed that Myc-repressed lncRNAs and mRNAs are enriched in the nucleus while Myc-induced lncRNAs and mRNAs are enriched both in the cytoplasm and nucleus. Parallel analysis of differentially expressed lncRNAs and mRNAs identified 105 lncRNA-mRNA pairs that were in close vicinity, indicative for regulation in cis. To support the potential relevance of the Myc-regulated lncRNAs in cellular transformation, we analyzed their expression in primary Myc-high and Myc-low B-cell lymphomas. In total, 54% of the lncRNAs differentially expressed between the lymphoma subsets were identified as Myc-regulated in P493-6 cells. This study is the first to show that lncRNAs are an important factor within the Myc-regulated transcriptional program and indicates a marked difference between Myc-repressed lncRNAs and mRNAs. Arrays: The total, cy3 labeled fraction and the cytoplasmic or nuclear, cy5 labeled fraction was hybridized on the same array. Data was imported and analyzed as a single color array. Expression of all known mRNAs and >10 000 lncRNAs was assessed in P493-6 B cells with low c-myc levels

Project description:Primary kidney PTECs gradually became senescesince day 16, but SETD2 depletion prevented PTECs from senescence and maintained their proliferation beyond their limited dividing capacity. Transcriptional profiling of human PTECs, with comparing of non-senescent PTECs (PTECs-day 6), senescent PTECs (PTECs-day16), and SETD2 depleted PTECs at day 25 (SETD2 KD-PTECs-day 25). Three PTECs of different origins were transduced with shRNA constructs against SETD2 (sh1 or sh2), or with a non-targeting sequence. Untreated and NT-shRNA transduced samples were harvest at day 6 and day 16 respectively, SETD2-KD shRNA transduced PTECs were harvest at day 25.

Project description:Wildtype potato plants (Solara) and transgenic plants overexpressing a codon-optimizied version of SP6A (SP6Acop) were grown for 2 months in a greenhouse (16h light, 21°C day/ 19°C night temperature). Tubers were harvested and stored at room temperature. After 19 days dormant buds were taken from tubers of WT and 3 different transgenic lines (#3, 7, 9) and analysed by microarray.

Project description:MYC regulates the expression of multiple microRNA (miRNA) genes and defines the Burkitt lymphoma (BL) miRNA signature. Here, we investigate the role of the MYC-regulated miRNAs by gain- and loss-of-function analysis. Overexpression of 5 miRNAs that were significantly downregulated by MYC resulted in strong (miR-150, miR-26a, miR-26b) and mild (miR-29a, let-7a) impaired cell growth. Overexpression of miR-155 increased proliferation of BL cells. By RNA immunoprecipitation of Argonaute 2 in BL cells with and without miR-155 we identified 54 miR-155 target genes. Using an shRNA approach we identified TBRG1 (NIAM1) as a miR-155 target gene that copied the miR-155-induced phenotype upon its inhibition. Analysis of TBRG1 protein expression and miR-155 levels in primary cases of B-cell lymphoma revealed that miR-155 levels are significantly lower in TBRG1 positive cases suggesting that TBRG1 is also regulated by miR-155 in primary B-cell lymphoma. Our data demonstrate that overexpression of individual MYC-repressed miRNAs has a strong suppressive effect on BL cell growth, whereas overexpression of miR-155 enhances B-cell lymphoma growth by targeting the tumor suppressor gene TBRG1. Gene expression profile was performed in ST486 Burkitt lymphoma cell line in 4 samples: ST486 EV (empty MXW-PGK-IRES-GFP vector) total cell lysate, ST486 EV Ago2-IP, ST486 miR-155 (ST486 with ectopic miR-155) total cell lysate, ST486 miR-155 Ago2-IP.
Project description:CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) play a major role in defense against intracellular pathogens, and their functions are specified by antigen recognition and innate cytokines. While effector CTLs eliminate the infection, a small population of memory cells are retained that yields more rapid and robust response upon re-infection. Antigen presenting cells secrete an array of innate cytokines including IL-12 and IFN-α after recognition of pathogens. Both IL-12 and IFN-α have been shown to act as the third signal regulating the development of CTLs. We have shown that these two cytokines have a non-redundant effect in generation of human effector CTL. IL-12 alone is sufficient for effector CTL genesis marked by IFN-γ and TNF-α production, as well as increased cytolytic activity. Even in the presence of IFN-α, IL-12 programs CTLs that express the chemokine receptor CXCR3 and effector cytokines. Using microarray analysis we have investigated how IL-12 and IFN-α differentially regulate the genetic programming pathways that give rise to effector CTLs among multiple human donors. We have also analyzed the gene expression patterns of cells sorted from healthy human peripheral blood that display surface markers of effector memory CTL (designated as ex vivo) samples. 5 healthy human donor samples were used for the in vitro cultures. For each donor the CFSE labeled cells (CD8+CD45RA+) were cultured in the presence of neutralized, IL-12, IFN-a, and IL-12+IFN-a conditions and plate-bound anti-CD3+anti-CD28 for 3.5 days. Total RNA from CFSEhi (Undiv) and CFSElo (Div) sorted cells were used for Illumina Bead Array. 4 healthy human donor samples were used for the ex vivo samples. Total RNA was collected from FACS sorted CD8+CCR7hiCXCR3lo and CD8+CCR7loCXCR3hi cells without any stimulation.
