Project description:The glucocorticoid receptor (GR) regulates gene expression upon activation by glucocorticoid (GC) hormones. In zebrafish, two GR splice variants exist: the canonical GR M-NM-1-isoform (GRM-NM-1), and the GR M-NM-2-isoform (GRM-NM-2). The exact function of GRb remains elusive. We have investigated the transcriptional role of GRa and GRb in the zebrafish embryo model by injecting mebryos with two splice-blocking morpholinos (one leading to knockdown of both GR M-NM-1- and M-NM-2-isoforms, and another targeting the alternative splicing of the GR pre-mRNA in favor of the GR M-NM-2-isoform) and with GRM-NM-2 mRNA (resulting in specific GRM-NM-2 overexpression). Transcriptome profiling was performed on total RNA isolated from 30 hpf embryos. Our results show that GRb does not act as a dominant-negative inhibitor of GRa, and that GRa regulates two distinct gene clusters, which are mainly involved in the metabolism of the embryo. This microarray study was designed to determine the effect of knockdown and overexpression of GRa and GRb. For this purpose, wild type (AB/TL) zebrafish embryos were injected at the 1-2 cell stage with a standard control morpholino (SC-MO), a splice-blocking morpholino leading to knockdown of both GR M-NM-1- and M-NM-2-isoforms (MO1), a splice-blocking morpholino targeting the alternative splicing of the GR pre-mRNA in favor of the GR M-NM-2-isoform (MO2), or GRb mRNA. At 24 hpf, each group was treated with dexamathasone (or vehicle) for 6 hr. This resulted in 8 treament groups: SC-MO/veh, SC-MO/dex, MO1/veh, MO1/dex, MO2/veh, MO2/dex, GRb mRNA/veh, GRb mRNA/dex. After the incubation period, embryos were collected and RNA was isolated from 20 embryos per treatment group (30 hpf). Three individual experiments were performed, and the resulting triplicate samples were analyzed by microarray, using a common reference approach.

Project description:Using a combination of cell sorting and microarray analysis, we identified almost 200 genes as having a high level of expression in the notochord. After whole mount in situ hybridization screening, we confirmed approximately one third of these as having a novel notochord expression pattern. Keywords: cell type comparison - embryonic Noto-GFP+ notochord progenitors versus surrounding GFP- comparator cells 3 biological replicates - each replicate includes an experiment cell population (Noto-GFP positive cell sort) and a comparator population (GFP negative cell sort)

Project description:Global analysis of transcriptional changes in Drosophila park25 (parkin) and pink1 (Pink1) mutants. PARKIN and PINK1 are part of the organellar and molecular mitochondrial quality control and loss-of-function mutations have been identified as familial causes of Parkinson's disease. Young and old flies were used to identify changes in expression patterns during aging. Heads or whole flies were used to identify neuron-specific transcriptional changes that may be relevant to PD.

Project description:Gene expression of mouse cells was studied by extracting total RNA from cultured mouse mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and zebrafish injected with mouse MSCs, in addition the host response was studied by hybridizing the zebrafish RNA to zebrafish arrays. Two-condition experiment, low passage MSCs vs high passage MSCs and tumorigenic MSCs, in vitro and inside zebrafish embryos.

Project description:The zebrafish is a powerful model for the study of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPC). We have developed a novel HSPC-specific transgenic line (Runx1+23:GFP). We have used this line in time-lapse live imaging studies to track the migration of HSPC during development. We have also performed a chemical genetic screen to find small molecules that modulate HSPC numbers during development. Treating embryos from 2-3 days post fertilization (2-3 dpf) then fixing for in situ staining with HSPC probes cmyb and runx1, we found the compound lycorine increased HSPC numbers. Applying this compound during time-lapse live imaging showed increased accumulation of Runx+ HSPC in the caudal hematopoietic tissue (CHT). Treatment from 2-3 dpf, then washing off the compound, had a sustained effect on the size of the HSPC with Runx+ numbers higher at 5 and 7 dpf. We have performed microarray analysis to elucidate the molecular changes within HSPC and endothelial cells after Lycorine treatment. We treated Runx1+23:GFP;kdrl:DsRed2 embryos from 2-3 dpf with 75 uM lycorine in 1% DMSO. We then dissociated the embryos and sorted the Runx+ GFP cells, the kdrl+ DsRed2 cells, and the non-fluorescent negative cells from the total embryo as a comparator population. Total RNA was amplified and biotin labled for hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. 18 samples were collected and analyzed. There are 3 biological replicates. There are 3 cell type populations: 1) Runx+ HSPC; 2) kdrl+ endothelial cells; 3) non-fluorescent negative cells. There are cell populations from dissociated Lycorine-treated embryo pools, and control DMSO-treated embryo pools.

Project description:To identify the differentially expressed miRs in the plasmas of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) patients, we screened NHL samples using microarrays. Experiments were performed with three pooled total RNA isolated from the plasmas of four patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), four patients with follicular lymphoma (FL), and eight control samples.

Project description:Insulin-secreting β cells and glucagon-secreting α cells maintain physiological blood glucose levels, and their malfunction drives diabetes development. Using ChIP sequencing and RNA sequencing analysis, we determined the epigenetic and transcriptional landscape of human pancreatic α, β, and exocrine cells. We found that, compared with exocrine and β cells, differentiated α cells exhibited many more genes bivalently marked by the activating H3K4me3 and repressing H3K27me3 histone modifications. This was particularly true for β cell signature genes involved in transcriptional regulation. Remarkably, thousands of these genes were in a monovalent state in β cells, carrying only the activating or repressing mark. Our epigenomic findings suggested that α to β cell reprogramming could be promoted by manipulating the histone methylation signature of human pancreatic islets. Indeed, we show that treatment of cultured pancreatic islets with a histone methyltransferase inhibitor leads to colocalization of both glucagon and insulin and glucagon and insulin promoter factor 1 (PDX1) in human islets and colocalization of both glucagon and insulin in mouse islets. Thus, mammalian pancreatic islet cells display cell-type–specific epigenomic plasticity, suggesting that epigenomic manipulation could provide a path to cell reprogramming and novel cell replacement-based therapies for diabetes. Pancreatic islets were collected post-mortem from 6 human donors and subjected to FACS to separate populations of alpha, beta, and exocrine cells. Depending on the availability of resulting material, sorted islet cell populations were used for H3K4me3, H3K27me3 ChIP-seq, or RNA-seq analysis. All ChIP-seq samples have a corresponding input from the same sample.

Project description:Cyclic constraints have proven to be very effective for preorganizing β-amino acid residues and thereby stabilizing β- and α/β-peptide helices, but little is known about possible preorganization effects among γ residues. Here we assess and compare the impact of cyclic preorganization of β and γ residues in the context of a specific α/β/γ-peptide helix. The results show that β residue preorganization is critical for helix stability but that γ residue preorganization is less important.
