Project description:Recent analyses of 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) suggest that the modified base influences transcription by acting as an intermediate to demethylation. However, elevated levels of 5hmC within neural tissues suggest that the mark is stable and may directly contribute to gene regulation. Here, we characterize the in vivo genomic patterning and stability of 5hmC in three defined developmental states of the mouse main olfactory epithelium – multipotent stem cells, neuronal progenitors, and mature olfactory sensory neurons. 5hmC is globally enriched in neuronal progenitors and neurons relative to the stem population with significant enrichment on the bodies of transcriptionally active genes and intergenic enhancers. Although gene body 5hmC levels are positively correlated with cell type-specific gene expression in all developmental stages, genes that are commonly expressed within both neuronal progenitors and mature neurons experience the greatest increases in 5hmC levels. Moreover, enriched levels of the modified base on intergenic conserved regions correlate with cell type-specific expression of nearby genes and coincide with developmentally regulated enhancer-promoter interaction at one locus examined. Finally, an analysis of two-month old neurons indicates that elevated 5hmC levels persist in fully differentiated neurons. Together, these data suggest that 5hmC stabilizes the expression of developmentally active genes through effects at both gene bodies and intergenic regulatory elements. 9 Samples

Project description:Title: Array-based gene expression, CGH and tissue data define a 12q24 gain in neuroblastic tumors with prognostic implication. Background: Neuroblastoma has successfully served as a model system for the identification of neuroectoderm-derived oncogenes. However, in spite of various efforts, only a few clinically useful prognostic markers have been found. Here, we present a framework, which integrates DNA, RNA and tissue data to identify and prioritize genetic events that represent clinically relevant new therapeutic targets and prognostic biomarkers for neuroblastoma. Methods: A single-gene resolution aCGH profiling was integrated with microarray-based gene expression profiling data to distinguish genetic copy number alterations that were strongly associated with transcriptional changes in two neuroblastoma cell lines. FISH analysis using a hotspot tumour tissue microarray of 37 paraffin-embedded neuroblastoma samples and in silico data mining for gene expression information obtained from previously published studies including up to 445 healthy nervous system samples and 123 neuroblastoma samples were used to evaluate the clinical significance and transcriptional consequences of the detected alterations and to identify subsequently activated gene(s). Results: In addition to the anticipated high-level amplification and subsequent overexpression of MYCN, MEIS1, CDK4 and MDM2 oncogenes, the aCGH analysis revealed numerous other genetic alterations, including microamplifications at 2p and 12q24.11. Most interestingly, we identified and investigated the clinical relevance of a previously poorly characterized amplicon at 12q24.31. FISH analysis showed low-level gain of 12q24.31 in 14 of 33 (42%) neuroblastomas. Patients with the low-level gain had an intermediate prognosis in comparison to patients with MYCN amplification (poor prognosis) and to those with no MYCN amplification or 12q24.31 gain (good prognosis) (P = 0.001). Using the in silico data mining approach, we identified elevated expression of five genes located at the 12q24.31 amplicon in neuroblastoma (DIABLO, ZCCHC8, RSRC2, KNTC1 and MPHOSPH9). Among these, DIABLO showed the strongest activation suggesting a putative role in neuroblastoma progression. Conclusions: The presented systematic and rapid framework, which integrates aCGH, gene expression and tissue data to obtain novel targets and biomarkers for cancer, identified a low-level gain of the 12q24.31 as a potential new biomarker for neuroblastoma progression. Furthermore, results of in silico data mining suggest a new neuroblastoma target gene, DIABLO, within this region, whose functional and therapeutic role remains to be elucidated in follow-up studies. High-resolution aCGH was utilized to identify novel genetic alterations in two neuroblastoma cell lines, NGP and IMR-32. Through the integration of gene copy number and gene expression data, the impact of copy number changes on expression levels was determined. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) on a tissue microarray (TMA) format was used to assess the clinical significance of the identified copy number increase at 12q24.31 in neuroblastoma patients. Finally, we used in silico data mining of publicly available transcriptomics data, to evaluate the transcriptional consequences of the detected 12q24.31 alteration and to identify subsequently activated gene(s). Here, gene expression analysis of the NGP and IMR-32 cell lines was performed. A pooled sample of 16 cancer cell lines was used as reference.

Project description:Follicular lymphoma (FL) is genetically characterized by the presence of the t(14;18)(q32;q21) chromosomal translocation in approximately 90% of cases. In contrast to FL carrying the t(14;18), their t(14;18)-negative counterparts are less well studied regarding their immunohistochemical, genetic, molecular and clinical features. Within a previously published series of 184 FL grade 1-3A with available gene expression data, we identified 17 FL lacking the t(14;18). Comparative genomic hybridization and high resolution SNP array profiling demonstrated that gains/amplifications of the BCL2 gene locus in 18q were restricted to the t(14;18)-positive FL subgroup. A comparison of gene expression profiles revealed an enrichment of germinal center B-cell associated signatures in t(14;18)-positive FL, whereas activated B-cell like, NFƒÛB, proliferation and bystander cell signatures were enriched in t(14;18)-negative FL. These findings were confirmed by immunohistochemistry in an independent validation series of 84 FL, in which 32% of t(14;18)-negative FL showed weak or absent CD10 expression and 91% an increased Ki67 proliferation rate. Although overall survival did not differ between FL with and without t(14;18), our findings suggest distinct molecular features of t(14;18)-negative FL. Fresh-frozen tumor-biopsy specimens were obtained from 184 untreated patients who had received a diagnosis of follicular lymphoma. RNA was extracted from the biopsy specimens and was examined for gene expression with the use of Affymetrix U133A and U133B microarrays.

Project description:Once daily milking of dairy cows induces long-term effects on milk production by altering the expression of coding genes which play key roles in milk production (Boutinaud et al, 2013, Physiol Genomics, 45:973-985). These variations had been analyzed in polyA+ RNA by microarray. As a complementary step, we studied gene expression in the mammary gland after unilateral once daily milking (for one week) as compared to twice daily milking of the contralateral glands or as compared to gene expression in the mammary gland during pregnancy, using RNA-seq analysis of Ribominus RNA.

Project description:The HASTER promoter region is a cis-regulatory element that stabilizes the transcription of HNF1A, preventing silencing or overexpression. We have generated a mouse model where the promoter of Haster has been specifically deleted in liver (Haster loxP/loxP; AlbCre). In liver the prevailing consequence is upregulation of HNF1A. We performed UMI-4C experiments to assess how Haster inactivation remodel 3D chromatin interactions of the Hnf1a promoter using the Hnf1a promoter as viewpoint (V1, Hnf1a promoter upstream CTCF site viewpoint; V2, Hnf1a promoter VP).

Project description:The HASTER promoter region is a cis-regulatory element that stabilizes the transcription HNF1A. If HASTER is deleted after beta cells have been formed and HNF1A is already stably expressed, HASTER is not required to maintain HNF1A activity, and is only required to provide negative feedback on HNF1A. HNF1A binding to the HASTER promoter mediates the repression of the HNF1A gene itself. To determine whether HNF1A binding to the HASTER promoter remodels 3D chromatin interactions of the HNF1A promoter, we performed UMI-4C experiments in wild type and HASTER-promoter KO EndoC-betaH3 cells with or without doxycycline-induced HNF1A overexpression using the HNF1A promoter as viewpoint.

Project description:Sex steroids play a key role in triggering sec differentiation in fish and the use of exogenous hormone treatment leads to partial or complete sex reversal. This phenomenon has attracted attention since the discovery taht even low environmental doses of exogenous steroids can adversely affect gonad morphology (ovotestis development) and induce reproductive failure. Modern genomic-based technologies have enhanced opportunities to find mechanisms of action (MOA) and dentify biomarkers for the toxic action of a compound. The goal of this study are to improve the understanding of feminization in fish by analyzing gene expression patterns in the gonads of rainbow trout fry after a chronic exposure to several doses (0.01, 0.1, 1 and 10 ?g/L) of ethynylestradiol (EE2) and to offer target genes as potential biomarkers of ovotestis development. An all-male population of Rainbow trout fry was exposed during 76 days (from 60 to 136 days post-fertilization (dpf)) to five nominal concentrations of 17?-ethynylestradiol (0-solvent control-, 0.01, 0.1, 1 and 10 ?g EE2/L of water), using 3 tanks per condition. In total, 30 samples were analyzed independantly: 6 samples per concentration tested (two samples per tank, three tanks per concentration), each sample being a pool of 10 pairs of gonads.

Project description:Intestinal inflammation in Atlantic salmon was studied by profiling the intestine mucus proteome, employing isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantification and 2D LC-MS/MS approach. Two fish groups were fed soy saponin-containing (inflammation inducer, SO) or devoid (CO) diets for 36 days. Two more fish groups were fed each of the aforementioned diets with a health additive (CP, SP). Inflammation characteristics in the intestine were milder in the SP-fed fish compared to the SO-fed fish, based on histology results. The fish that had intestinal inflammation (SO) was characterised by alterations of many proteins. Based on the enriched KEGG pathways and GO terms of the SO vs CO comparison pathways such as phagosome and lipid binding were affected due to upregulation of protein like Integrin beta 2 precursor, Coronin 1A, Cathepsin S precursor, Vesicle-trafficking protein, and Neutrophil cytosol factors. On the other hand, the SP group had fewer inflammation characteristics and altered proteins; this fish group had higher abundance of protein linked to the pathways aminoacyl-tRNA biosynthesis and ribosome due to the higher abundance of many large and small subunit of ribosomes. The alteration of Glycogen phosphorylase and Glutamin synthetase could also have alleviated intestinal inflammation in the SP group. Elevating the abundance of ribosomal proteins, aminoacyl-tRNA ligases, and lowering the abundance of Glycogen phosphorylase and Glutamine synthetase could be effective to alleviate intestinal inflammation. The proteins described here can be exploited to alleviate intestinal inflammation in fish and higher vertebrates.

Project description:We assessed whether human transcripts expressed in an aneuploid mouse that carries human chromosome 21 (HsChr21) are spliced in a human-specific or mouse-specific fashion. In almost all cases, human-specific alternative splicing is maintained in the mouse nucleus. Species-specific splicing therefore appears to be primarily directed by cis-acting elements, rather than changes in the levels or activities of trans-acting factors. Approximately 485 million Illumina 50-nt sequence reads were generated for brain and liver tissues from normal human, Tc0 (wildtype) mouse and Tc1 mouse strains. Sequence reads were mapped to splice junctions and %in levels were estimated.
