Project description:Early diagnosis of transthyretin (TTR) amyloid diseases remains challenging because of variable disease penetrance. Currently, patients must have an amyloid positive tissue biopsy to be eligible for disease modifying therapies. Early diagnosis is often difficult because the patient exhibits apparent symptoms of polyneuropathy or cardiomyopathy, but has a negative amyloid biopsy. Thus, there is a pressing need for more objective, quantitative diagnostics and biomarkers of TTR-aggregation-associated polyneuropathy and cardiomyopathy. This is especially true in the context of clinical trials demonstrating significant disease modifying effects, e.g. when the TTR tetramer stabilizer tafamidis was administered to familial amyloid polyneuropathy (FAP) patients early in the disease course. When asked if the findings of the tafamidis registration trial were âsufficiently robust to provide substantial evidence of efficacy for a surrogate endpoint that is reasonably likely to predict a clinical benefitâ the advisory committee said yes, but the FDA rejected the tetramer stabilization surrogate biomarker required for orphan tafamidis approvalâhence, acceptable biomarkers are badly needed. Herein, we explored whether peripheral blood cell mRNA expression profiles could differentiate symptomatic from asymptomatic V30M FAP patients, and if such a profile would normalize upon tafamidis treatment. We demonstrate that blood cell gene expression patterns reveal sex-independent as well as male and female specific inflammatory signatures in symptomatic FAP patients, but not in asymptomatic carriers, that normalize in FAP patients 6 months after tafamidis treatment. Thus these signatures have potential both as an early diagnostic and as a surrogate biomarker for measuring response to treatment in FAP patients. Study Subjects: Tafamidis-treated and untreated V30M FAP patients, asymptomatic V30M carriers, and healthy, age- and sex-matched controls without TTR mutations had whole blood drawn. RNA was extracted from a total of 309 peripheral blood samples collected in PAXgene tubes (Qiagen). RNA Extraction and Microarray Processing: RNA was extracted with the PAXgene RNA Whole Blood Kit. Each RNA sample (100ng) was amplified and labeled with the Ambion WT Express Kit and hybridized to Affymetrix HuGene 1.1 ST Arrays using the Affymetrix GeneTitan Multi-Channel (MC) platform. Normalized signals were generated using Robust Multichip Average (RMA) in Partek Genomics Suite software version 6.6. Probesets on the DNA microarrays with low expressed signals were determined using a kernel density plot, and signals <Log2 of 6 were excluded from analysis.

Project description:RNA-seq analysis of zebrafish foxc1a mutant For RNA-seq, mRNA was extracted from 38-40 hpf old embryos. We isolated wild type and foxc1a mutant samples by dissecting the entire first 6 anterior somitic segments (AS) through which the fin nerves migrate, and the adjacent posterior segments (PS; segments 7 through ~12) devoid of fin innervating nerves. Heads and yolks were excluded from all samples. Tissues were stored in RNAlater solution (Life Technologies) for up to 2 days at 4 degree before RNA was extracted using the RNAeasy kit (Qiagen) according to the manufactureM-bM-^@M-^Ys protocol. RNA was tested for integrity using a Bioanalyzer (Agilent technologies). RNA samples showing RIN value of 8 or higher were used for generating cDNA libraries as described in the TruSeqM-BM-. Stranded mRNA sample preparation guide. At the final stage, 15 cycles of PCR amplifications was performed. Barcoded libraries representing duplicates of AS and PS samples of wild type and mutants were validated using Bionalyzer (Agilent Technology) and finally sequenced in Illumina HiSeq 2500 yielding paired end reads of 100bp. The RNA-seq Unified Mapper (RUM) (Grant et al., 2011) was used to align the reads to the Zv9/danRer7 reference genome and to assign each read uniquely to a transcript. We investigated transcripts that showed the highest fold changes of expression between the different groups. For Gene Ontology annotations, genes tagged by the GO term M-bM-^@M-^\axon guidanceM-bM-^@M-^] were obtained from the gene ontology database (http://www.geneontology.org/). Next we filtered this list for the M-bM-^@M-^\Danio rerioM-bM-^@M-^] taxon (resulting in 116 unique genes) and used them to annotate our RNA-seq results.

Project description:FAP+ cells had been reported to be present only in healing wounds and at sites of tissue remodelling. We have found FAP+ cells in many normal tissues and aimed to investigate whether these cells were related or whether FAP is upregulated in response to an external stimulus on a variety of cells. Furthermore we wanted to investigate whether FAP+ cells are simply fibroblasts and so compared their transcriptomic profiles to that of a typical fibroblastic population, the murine embryonic fibroblast. FAP+ cells were sorted from two mesenchymal tissues, visceral adipose and skeletal muscle, and from an epithelial organ, the pancreas. These were compared to MEFs. Cells were isolated in duplicate experiments and these were analysed separately. These were compared to previously published publically available CD4+ T-cell subset data.

Project description:UC pouchitis is a potential model of UC. We prospectively examined the pouch transcriptomes of UC and familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) IPAA patients to unveil molecular mechanisms of UC pouchitis susceptibility. Methods: Total RNA was isolated using the AllPrep DNA/RNA Mini Kit (QIAGEN, Cat No. 8020). RNA quality was evaluated using Bioanalyzer (Agilent, Santa Clara, CA). All RNA samples displayed RNA Integrity Number (RIN) >7. RNAseq including cDNA library preparation was processed at the Genomics Core Facility of University of Chicago (https://fgf.uchicago.edu/). Total RNA in the amount of 100-500μg per sample was depleted of ribosomal RNA using the Ribo-Zero kit (Epicentre, Madison, WI). The directional (first strand) cDNA libraries were prepared following the guide of TruSeq Stranded Total RNA Sample Preparation kit. Results: Unlike FAP patients, UC subjects exhibited a large set of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between pouch and pre-pouch mucosa as early as 4 months after pouch functionalization. Functional pathway analysis of DEGs in UC pouch revealed: (1) Gain of colon-associated gene expressions and loss of ileum associated gene expressions, (2) enhanced state of immune/inflammatory response, and (3) suppressed xenobiotic, lipid, and bile acid metabolic pathways. These changes were corroborated upon reanalysis of a published larger cross-sectional study of UC and FAP patients. Moreover, >70% of DEGs mapped to published IBD and normal colonic microarray datasets displayed directional changes consistent with active UC, but not Crohn's disease. Conclusions: UC patients exhibit a unique transcriptomic response to ileal pouch creation that can be observed well before disease. The transcriptome alterations provide insights into pouchitis

Project description:Human vein umbilical endothelial cells (HUVEC) were transfected with pre-miR control and pre-miR 125b (Ambion) in order to identify targets (direct and indirect) downregulated by miR-125b in endothelial cells. 317 transcripts were downregulated with a fold change ≥ 1.5, among which 99 are predicted direct targets of mir-125b. Computional approach performed with Ingenuity Pathway Knowledge shows that movement of cell and cell-to-cell signalling are the top two biological functions affected bewteen control and transfected cells. Experiments performed in zebrafish and in HUVEC confirmed that mir-125b mainly affects genes involved in cellular movements and junctions. Total RNA was obtained from cells transfected in HUVEC with pre-miR control and pre-miR 125b. Three independent transfections were performed for each condition.

Project description:Disturbed expression of microRNAs (miRNAs) in regulatory T-cells (Tregs) leads to development of autoimmunity in experimental mouse models. However, the miRNA expression signature characterizing Tregs of autoimmune diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA) has not been determined yet. Moreover, the technical limitations prevented the analysis of such minute T-cell population as naive and memory Tregs. In this study we have used a microarray approach to comprehensively analyze miRNA expression signatures of naive Tregs (CD4+CD45RO-CD25++), memory Tregs (CD4+CD45RO+CD25+++), as well as conventional naive (CD4+CD45RO-CD25-) and memory (CD4+CD45RO+CD25-) T-cells (Tconvs) derived from peripheral blood of RA patients, and matched healthy controls. Differential expression of selected miRNAs was validated by TaqMan-based qRT-PCR. We found a positive correlation between increased expression of miR-451 in T-cells of RA patients and disease activity score (DAS28), ESR levels, and serum levels of IL-6. Moreover, we found characteristic, disease and treatment independent, global miRNA expression signatures defining naive Tregs, memory Tregs, naive Tconvs and memory Tconvs. The analysis allowed us to define miRNAs characteristic for a general naive phenotype (e.g. miR-92a), a general memory phenotype (e.g. miR-21, miR-155), and most importantly miRNAs specifically expressed in both naive and memory Tregs, defining as such the Treg phenotype (i.e. miR-146a, miR-3162, miR-1202, miR-1246a, and miR-4281). MicroRNA profiling was performed in four CD4+ T-cell subsets: naive Tconventional (CD3+CD8-CD45RO-CD25-), naive Tregulatory (CD3+CD8-CD45RO-CD25+), memory Tconventional (CD3+CD8-CD45RO+CD25-), and memory Tregulatory (CD3+CD8-CD45RO+CD25+) derived from 2 healthy controls, and 6 rheumatoid arthritis patients (total n=8).

Project description:Background: Genome-wide transcriptome profiling generated by microarray and RNA-Seq often provides deregulated genes or pathways applicable only to larger cohort. On the other hand, individualized interpretation of transcriptomes is increasely pursued to improve diagnosis, prognosis, and patient treatment processes. Yet, robust and accurate methods based on a single paired-sample remain an unmet challenge. Methods: M-bM-^@M-^\N-of-1-pathwaysM-bM-^@M-^] translates gene expression data profiles into mechanism-level profiles on single pairs of samples (one p-value per geneset). It relies on three principles: i) statistical universe is a single paired sample, which serves as its own control; ii) statistics can be derived from multiple gene expression measures that share common biological mechanisms assimilated to genesets; iii) semantic similarity metric takes into account inter-mechanismsM-bM-^@M-^Y relationships to better assess commonality and differences, within and cross study-samples (e.g. patients, cell-lines, tissues, etc.), which helps the interpretation of the underpinning biology. Results: In the context of underpowered experiments, N-of-1-pathways predictions perform better or comparable to those of GSEA and Differentially Expressed Genes enrichment (DEG enrichment), within- and cross-datasets. N-of-1-pathways uncovered concordant PTBP1-dependent mechanisms across datasets (Odds-RatiosM-bM-^IM-%13, p-valuesM-bM-^IM-$1M-CM-^W10-5), such as RNA splicing and cell cycle. In addition, it unveils tissue-specific mechanisms of alternatively transcribed PTBP1-dependent genesets. Furthermore, we demonstrate that GSEA and DEG Enrichment preclude accurate analysis on single paired samples. Conclusions: N-of-1-pathways enables robust and biologically relevant mechanism-level classifiers with small cohorts and one single paired samples that surpasses conventional methods. Further, it identifies unique sample/ patient mechanisms, a requirement for precision medicine. Cell lines, culture conditions: The epithelial human breast cancer cell line MDA-MB231 (ER-/ PR-/ HER2-) were obtained from the American Type Culture Collection (Manassas, VA). The epithelial human ovarian tumor cell line A2780 was received as a generous gift from Dr. Thomas C. Hamilton (Fox Chase Cancer Center, Philadelphia, PA) Cancer Center, Philadelphia, PA). Cells were grown in DMEM supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS), 2mM L-glutamine in a humid environment at 37M-BM-0C, with 5% CO2. Both cell lines were free of Mycoplasma species and were maintained for no longer than 10 weeks in culture after recovery from frozen stocks. Mycoplasma levels were checked periodically using the MycoAlertM-BM-. Mycoplasma Detection Kit (Lonza Inc., Allendale, NJ). The authenticity of cell lines was assessed by the ATCC carrying out short tandem repeat (STR) analysis (Verified STR Profiling Service, ATCCM-BM-. 135-XV). Additionally, we compared A2780 to the original STR profile collected by the European Collection of Cell Culture (Catalogue number 93112519). Doxycycline-inducible knockdown of PTBP1 regulated by small hairpin RNA (shRNA): In order to analyze the effect of PTBP1 depletion, two consecutive viral transductions were performed in both MDA-MB231 and A2780 cell lines. Cells were plated on 24-well plate (10-20M-CM-^W104 cells/well), maintained in culture for 16 hours, and then medium containing LV-tTR/KRAB-Red lentiviral particles was added. Following 16 h of incubation, cells were transduced a second time by LV-THM/PTBshRNA or LV-THM/LUCshRNA lentiviral particles. Clones expressing both red and green fluorescent protein (dsRED and GFP respectively) were selected and expanded. Following 16 h of incubation, cells were washed and split in two subcultures, one without doxycycline (PTBP1/-DOX; Control in Figure 1) and the other with Doxycycline (DOX) at a final concentration of 1 M-NM-<g/ml (PTBP1/+DOX; PTBP1-KD in Figure 1). Doxycycline was prepared according to the manufacturerM-bM-^@M-^Ys recommendations (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO). Five days later, cells were analyzed by fluorescence microscopy, and PTBP1 gene expression was assessed using PCR and Western Blotting (data not shown). The cells that were transduced by LV-LUCshRNA express PTBP1 regardless of the presence of DOX (LUCshRNA/+DOX). Constructs and lentivirus preparation were performed as previously described in literature [He X et al., Knockdown of polypyrimidine tract-binding protein suppresses ovarian tumor cell growth and invasiveness in vitro, Oncogene 2007, 26(34):4961-4968]. Microarray Analysis: For each of the cell lines, MDA-MB231 and A2780, total RNAs were extracted from four biological replicates of PTBP1-depleted cells, PTBP1-KD (4M-CM-^W PTBP1/+DOX) and eight biological replicates control cells (4M-CM-^W PTBP1/-DOX and 4M-CM-^W LUCshRNA/+DOX) by Direct-zol RNA kit (Zymo Research, Irvine, CA). All paired samples consist of PTBP1-depleted cells (PTBP1-KD) and matched control cells. Qualities of RNA were assessed based on the RNA quality indicator (RQI M-bM-^IM-% 8) using Experion Automated Electrophoresis System (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA). Gene expression microarray measurements were performed using the GeneChip PrimeView Human Gene Expression Array that contains 49,395 probes and measures 36,000 transcripts and variants per sample. Labeling and hybridization were performed following Affymetrix protocols. The raw data were normalized according to the Robust Multiple-array Average (RMA) technique, using Affymetrix Power Tools (APT). biological replicate: Ovarian_LucsH_DOX_1, Ovarian_LucsH_DOX_2, Ovarian_LucsH_DOX_3, Ovarian_LucsH_DOX_4 biological replicate: Ovarian_PTBsh1_NODOX_1, Ovarian_PTBsh1_NODOX_2, Ovarian_PTBsh1_NODOX_3, Ovarian_PTBsh1_NODOX_4 biological replicate: Ovarian_PTBsh1_DOX_1, Ovarian_PTBsh1_DOX_2, Ovarian_PTBsh1_DOX_3, Ovarian_PTBsh1_DOX_4 biological replicate: Breast_LucsH_DOX_1, Breast_LucsH_DOX_2, Breast_LucsH_DOX_3, Breast_LucsH_DOX_4 biological replicate: Breast_PTBsh1_NODOX_1, Breast_PTBsh1_NODOX_2, Breast_PTBsh1_NODOX_3, Breast_PTBsh1_NODOX_4 biological replicate: Breast_PTBsh1_DOX_1, Breast_PTBsh1_DOX_2, Breast_PTBsh1_DOX_3, Breast_PTBsh1_DOX_4

Project description:This labeled quantitative proteomics dataset was collected from a transgenic channel rhodopsin mouse model (Chr2) subjected to light stimulation after traumatic optic nerve crush (ONC) was performed. Mouse models expressing channel rhodopsin were subjected to therapeutic light stimulation promoting axon regeneration of retinal ganglion cell (RGC) axons post optic nerve crush. Experimental mice and wild type control mice were euthanized, and optic nerves were collected. A protein extraction was carried out by careful mincing of the tissue in extraction buffer (TEAB, NaCl and SDS). Protein amount normalization across samples was achieved using dot blot densitometry using ImageJ software. Samples were labelled using a modified 16plex TMT (Tandem Mass Tag) kit for quantification after overnight trypsin digestion. Untargeted liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry was performed on an Easy-nLC 1000 liquid chromatograph coupled to a QExactive mass spectrometer (LC-MS/MS). Data analysis was performed using Proteome Discoverer 2.5.
