There is unmet need for chemical tools to explore the role of the Mediator complex in human pathologies ranging from cancer to cardiovascular disease. Here we determine that CCT251545, a small-molecule inhibitor of the WNT pathway discovered through cell-based screening, is a potent and selective chemical probe for the human Mediator complex-associated protein kinases CDK8 and CDK19 with >100-fold selectivity over 291 other kinases. X-ray crystallography demonstrates a type 1 binding mode involv ...[more]

Project description:There is an unmet need for chemical tools to explore the role of the Mediator complex in human pathologies ranging from cancer to cardiovascular disease. Here we determine that CCT251545 a WNT-pathway inhibitor discovered by cell-based screening is a potent and selective chemical probe for the Mediator complex-associated protein kinases CDK8 and CDK19. CCT251545 is an ATP competitive inhibitor with >100-fold selectivity over 291 other kinases. X-ray crystallography demonstrates Type 1 binding involving insertion of the CDK8 C-terminus into the ligand binding site. In contrast to Type II inhibitors of CDK8/19 CCT251545 displays potent cell-based activity. We show that CCT251545 and close analogues not only alter WNT-pathway regulated gene expression but also other CDK8/19 targets including STAT1-regulated gene expression. Consistent with this we find that phospho-STAT1SER727 is a biomarker of CDK8 kinase activity in vitro and in vivo. Finally we demonstrate in vivo activity of CCT251545 in WNT-dependent tumours. Compound 1,2, 6 and 9 are close analogues of a 3,4,5-trisubstituted pyridine series identified from a high-throughput cell-based reporter assay of WNT signalling. They were shown to be potent and selective inhibitors of the Mediator complex-associated protein kinases CDK8 and CDK19. They are ATP competitive inhibitors with >100-fold selectivity over 291 other kinases. X-ray crystallography demonstrates Type 1 binding involving insertion of the CDK8 C-terminus into the ligand-binding site. A 3D culture model of murine intestinal-derived organoids expressing a transgenic doxycycline-inducible mutant beta-catenin expression following removal of doxycycline results in reduced WNT signalling and was compared to treatment for 24 hours with coumpound 2, 6 and 9. Compound 2 (n=3), compound 6 (n=4), compound 9 (n=3), doxycycline removal (n=4), doxycycline treatment (n=7). Samples were hybridized agianst mouse reference.

Project description:Male Anophele gambiae mosquitoes transfer the steroid hormone 20-hydroxyecdysone (20E) to the female lower reproductive tract during mating. We have shown that this sexually transferred hormone is a key regulator of monandry and oviposition in An. gambiae females. In order to identify possible molecular pathways underlying the effects induced by sexually transferred 20E we investigated the transcriptional response in the atrium and spermatheca at 24 hours after 20E injection in the thorax of virgin females, which delivers to these reproductive tissues 20E levels comparable to those detected after mating. By comparing these results to those of microarrays assessing the post-mating transcriptional response in the female lower reproductive tract (LRT) at 24 hours post copulation, we were able to identify mating responsive genes likely regulated by male transferred 20E. For each experiment atrium and spermatheca were dissected from females 24 hours after 20E or ethanol (10%) injection and transcriptional profiles compared across 4 biological replicates using Agilent two-color microarrays

Project description:The potential for xenoestrogens and other environmental chemicals to alter female reproductive function calls for the study of their affects on endogenous hormone-regulated gene expression pathways during uterine tissue remodeling which occurs as part of the menstrual/estrus cycle. However, our knowledge of these pathways is limited. Here, we characterize changes in the CD-1 mouse uterine luminal epithelial cell transcriptome during proestrus and estrus, which are regulated by estrogen and progesterone in preparation of the uterus for pregnancy. Mice were staged beginning at 6 wk of age and uterine horns were harvested at estrus and proestrus. RNA was extracted from lumenal epithelium of uterine horns. Microarray analysis identified 2,251 genes differentially expressed in estrus compared to proestrus in lumenal epithelial cells. These complement other studies where RNA was extracted from whole uterine horns of mice in estrus and proestrus (GSE43064). Beginning on postnatal day 41, female CD-1 mice were monitored for reproductive stage cycle and total RNA was isolated from lumenal epithelium of uterine horns at estrus or proestrus. Tissue was collected on postnatal days 41-61. Samples were pooled for microarray analysis as follows. Seven litters were used to generate 2 tissue pools for estrus and 2 tissue pools for proestrus. Each pool was comprised of uterine tissue RNA from n=4-5 individual mice and n=3-4 individual litters. Fluorescent labeling of RNA and hybridization of the Alexa 555-labeled (green) and Alexa 647-labeled (red) RNA samples to Agilent-026655 Whole Mouse Genome Microarray 4x44K v2 (Agilent Technology, Palo Alto, CA; catalog # G4846A) were carried out, with dye swapping for each estrus cycle stage comparison.

Project description:The potential for xenoestrogens and other environmental chemicals to alter female reproductive function calls for the study of their affects on endogenous hormone-regulated gene expression pathways during uterine tissue remodeling which occurs as part of the menstrual/estrus cycle. However, our knowledge of these pathways is limited. Here, we characterize changes in the CD-1 mouse uterine transcriptome during proestrus and estrus, which are regulated by estrogen and progesterone in preparation of the uterus for pregnancy. Mice were staged beginning at 6 wk of age and uterine horns were harvested after monitoring two estrus cycles. Microarray analysis identified 2,429 genes differentially expressed in estrus compared to proestrus, indicating that the mouse uterus undergoes remarkable remodeling during the estrus cycle, affecting ~10% of all protein-coding genes. Changes in gene expression associated with structural alteration of the uterus include remodeling of the extracellular matrix, changes in cell keratins and adhesion molecules, activation of mitosis, MHC class II presentation, complement and coagulation cascades, and cytochrome P450 expression. Signaling pathways regulated during the estrus cycle, involving ligand-gated channels, Wnt and hedgehog signaling, and several transcription factors with poorly understood roles in reproductive tissues, include several genes and gene networks that have been implicated in pathological states. The information presented here builds a background for understanding of mechanisms involved in uterine tissue response to endocrine disruptors and the development of reproductive tract diseases. Beginning on postnatal day 42, female CD-1 mice were monitored for reproductive stage cycle for 2 consecutive cycles and then total RNA was isolated from uterine horns at estrus or proestrus. Samples were pooled for microarray as follows. Six litters were used to generate 2 tissue pools for estrus and 2 tissue pools for proestrus, with estrus pool 1 and proestrus pool 1 comprised of mice from the same 3 litters, and estrus pool 2 and proestrus pool 2 comprised of mice from the other 3 litters. Each pool was comprised of uterine tissue RNA from n= 4-6 individual mice. Fluorescent labeling of RNA and hybridization of the Alexa 555-labeled (green) and Alexa 647-labeled (red) RNA samples to Agilent-026655 Whole Mouse Genome Microarray 4x44K v2 (Agilent Technology, Palo Alto, CA; catalog # G4846A) were carried out, with dye swapping for each estrus cycle stage comparison.

Project description:Blackcurrant fruit collected at six stages of development were assessed for changes in gene expression using custom whole transcriptome microarrays and for variation in metabolite content using a combination of liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Principal components analysis demonstrated that fruit development could be clearly defined according to their transcript or metabolite profiles. During early developmental stages, metabolite profiles were dominated by amino acids and tannins, whilst transcript profiles were enriched in functions associated with cell division, anatomical structure morphogenesis and cell wall metabolism. During mid fruit development, fatty acids accumulated and transcript profiles were consistent with seed and embryo development. At the later stages, sugars and anthocyanins accumulated consistent with transcript profiles that were associated with secondary metabolism. Transcript data also indicated active signalling during later stages of fruit development. A targeted analysis of signalling networks revealed a dynamic activation and repression of almost 60 different transcripts encoding transcription factors across the course of fruit development, many of which have been demonstrated as pivotal to controlling such processes in other species. Transcripts associated with cytokinin and gibberellin were highly abundant at early fruit development, whilst those associated with ABA and ethylene tended to be more abundant at later stages. The data presented here provides an insight into fruit development in blackcurrant and provides a foundation for further work in the elucidation of the genetic basis of fruit quality.

Project description:Mycobacterium abscessus [M. abscessus (sensu lato) or M. abscessus group] comprises three closely related taxa with taxonomic status under revision: M. abscessus sensu stricto, M. bolletii and M. massiliense. We describe here a simple, robust and cost effective PCR-based method for distinguishing among M. abscessus, M. massiliense and bolletii. Based on the M. abscessus ATCC 19977T genome, discriminatory regions were identified between M. abscessus and M. massiliense from array-based comparative genomic hybridization. A typing scheme using PCR primers designed for four of these locations was applied to 46 well-characterized clinical isolates comprising 29 M. abscessus, 15 M. massiliense and 2 M. bolletii previously identified by multi-target sequencing. Interestingly, 2 isolates unequivocally identified as M. massiliense were shown to have a full length erm(41) instead of the expected gene deletion and showed inducible clarithromycin resistance after 14 days. We propose using this PCR-based typing scheme combined with erm(41) PCR for a straightforward identification of M. abscessus, M. massiliense and M. bolletii and assessment of inducible clarithromycin resistance. This method can be easily implemented into a routine workflow providing subspecies level identification within 24 hours of isolation of M. abscessus group. Two-color CGH with 4 independent Mycobacterium clinical isolates and the M massiliense type strain (CCUG 48898) labeled with Cy3 were cohybridized with the M abscessus type strain (ATCC 19977) labeled with Cy5 on a tiling array designed against the M abscessus type strain

Project description:To characterize a series of mouse colon cells that have become spontaneously transformed over time in order to identify the chromosomal and genomic alterations that take place during the development of tumorigenesis. Colorectal cancer is the third common malignancy in the United States. The stepwise progression from adenoma to carcinoma is accompanied by specific genomic alterations. Existing mouse models of human colon cancer have been induced by chemicals, viruses, or through genetic manipulation. Presented here is a unique mouse model of spontaneous transformation designed to identify the sequential steps of tumorigenesis. Normal epithelial colon cells were selectively isolated from the large intestine from eight different isogenic five-six week old C57BL/6 mice. Primary colon cells were grown in vitro with reduced serum concentration. The cells were sequentially recovered from culture based on distinct morphological changes: first, when the cells were in the pre-immortal stage and established as adherent cultures; second, as the cells bypassed crisis, increased their mitotic activity and became immortal; third, at early transformation, as the cells first formed foci; fourth, mid-transformed where the cells had higher proliferation rates in later passages; and finally, late transformed with rapid proliferation, contact inhibition, and multiple foci. The cells within each stage were analyzed using the molecular cytogenetic techniques of spectral karyotyping (SKY) and array comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH), and gene expression profiling. The late transformed cells were injected into nude mice to assess their tumorigenic potential. Spectral karyotyping revealed many recurrent structural and numerical aberrations, specifically in the late transformed cells. Loss of chromosome 4 is a consistent chromosomal aberration observed in all stages of the transformed colon cells, as well as in other tissues during the process of spontaneous transformation. Array CGH identified a pattern of gains and losses, and showed deletions of APC and Trp53 as well as a gain of Kras similar that observed in human colorectal cancer. Gene expression profiling identified the deregulation of several genes known to be involved in the progression of human colon cancer. Tumors resulted from three of the eight late transformed cultures confirming tumorigenic potential. Ultimately, the molecular characterization of spontaneously transformed murine epithelial colon cells indeed recapitulated the step wise progression of human colon cancer, and will prove to be an invaluable system in which to test potential rational intervention strategies. Mouse colon epithelial cells were isolated from the colon of 8 isogenic C57BL\6 mice. These cells were grown in reduced serum and over time spontaneously became immortal and transformed. Our objective is to compare these changes to those that occur during human colon cancer development.
