Project description:In order to identify new targets for basal-like breast cancers, we performed Methyl-Seq of 10 breast cancer cell lines. Basal-like cell lines (MDAMB231, MDAMB436, HCC1937, SUM149, SUM1315 and MCF10A) were compared to luminal cell lines (MCF7 and T47D). Moreover we could also study BRCA1 influence on methylome of basal-like breast cancer. 4 of our cell lines are indeed BRCA1 mutated (MDAMB436, HCC1937, SUM149 and SUM1315) and we also developed 2 cell lines that come from the BRCA1 mutated SUM1315 cell line stably transfected with empty LXSN plasmid (SUM1315-LXSN) or with a BRCA1 coding plasmid (SUM1315-BRCA1).

Project description:Rationale: The cellular and molecular pathways in asthma are highly complex. Increased understanding can be obtained by unbiased transcriptomic analysis (RNA-Seq). Hypothesis and Aims: We hypothesized that the transcriptomic profile of whole human endobronchial biopsies differs between patients with asthma and controls. First, we investigated the feasibility to obtain RNA from whole endobronchial biopsies suitable for RNA-Seq. Second, we examined the difference in transcriptomic profiles between asthma and controls. Methods: This cross-sectional study compared 4 steroid-free atopic asthma patients and 5 healthy non-atopic controls. RNA of ASM from 4 endobronchial biopsies per subject was isolated and sequenced (GS FLX+, 454/Roche). Ingenuity Pathway Analysis was used to identify gene networks. Comparison of the numbers of reads per gene in asthma and controls was based on the Poisson distribution. At the current sample size the estimated false discovery rate was 4%. Results: Yield of isolated RNA was 900-9,300ng. We identified 10,167 and 11,006 unique genes for asthma and controls, respectively. Forty-six genes were differentially expressed between asthma and controls, including pendrin, periostin, and BCL2. Ten gene networks involved in cellular morphology, movement, and development had an IPA network score ≥2. Conclusion:RNA isolated from whole human endobronchial biopsies is suitable for RNA-Seq, showing different transcriptomic profiles between asthma and controls. Novel and confirmative genes were found to be linked to asthma. These results indicate that biological processes in the airways of asthma patients are differently regulated compared to healthy controls, which may be relevant for the pathogenesis and treatment of the disease. This cross-sectional transcriptomics study consisted of 2 visits. At visit 1, atopic asthma patients (n=4), and healthy non-atopic controls (n=5) were screened for eligibility to participate according to the in- and exclusion criteria. Spirometry and a methacholine bronchoprovocation test were performed. At visit 2, FEV1 reversibility was measured and 4 endobronchial biopsies per subject were collected during a bronchoscopy. Total RNA from whole endobronchial biopsies was collected. cDNA was prepared using the Ovation RNA-Seq System (NuGEN). RNA-Seq was performed using the GS FLX+ instrument (454/Roche). Sequence reads were mapped against the human genome (hg19; UCSC). Comparison of the numbers of reads per gene between asthma and healthy controls was based on the Poisson distribution.

Project description:Rationale: Asthma and atopy shares common features including Th2-inflammation. However, impairment of airway function seems to be absent in atopy. Increased understanding of the complex cellular and molecular pathways defining the similarities and differences between asthma and atopy may be achieved by transcriptomic analysis (RNA-Seq). Hypothesis and Aims: As the airway smooth muscle (ASM) layer plays an important role in airway function, we hypothesized that the transcriptomic profile of the ASM layer in endobronchial biopsies is different between atopic asthma patients and atopic healthy controls. First, we examined the differences in transcriptomic profiles of the ASM layer in endobronchial biopsies between atopic mild, steroid-free asthma patients, and atopic and non-atopic healthy controls. Second, we investigated the association between the transcriptomic profiles of the ASM layer and airway function. Methods: This cross-sectional study included 12 steroid-free atopic asthma patients, 6 atopic, and 6 non-atopic healthy controls. RNA of ASM from 4 endobronchial biopsies per subject was isolated and sequenced (GS FLX+, 454/Roche). Ingenuity Pathway Analysis was used to identify gene networks. Comparison of the numbers of reads per gene in asthma and controls was based on the negative binomial distribution. At the current sample size the estimated false discovery rate was approximately 1%. Results: Yield of isolated RNA was 30-821ng. We identified 174 differentially expressed genes between asthma and atopic controls, 108 between asthma and non-atopic controls, and 135 between atopic and non-atopic controls. A set of 8 genes was identified, which seems to define asthma patients from non-asthmatic controls regardless of atopy. Four of these genes were significantly associated with airway hyperresponsiveness. Conclusion: A difference in transcriptomic profile of the airway smooth muscle layer in asthma patients compared to atopic and non-atopic healthy controls may lead to a different regulation of inflammatory pathways and of airway smooth muscle function and development resulting in impaired airway function. This cross-sectional transcriptomics study consisted of 2 visits. At visit 1, asthma patients (n=12), and healthy atopic (n=6) and non-atopic (n=6) controls were screened for eligibility to participate according to the in- and exclusion criteria. Spirometry and a methacholine bronchoprovocation test were performed. At visit 2, FEV1 reversibility was measured and 4 endobronchial biopsies per subject were collected during a bronchoscopy. Airway smooth muscle was collected from the biopsies by laser capture microdissection and total RNA isolated. cDNA was prepared using the Ovation RNA-Seq System (NuGEN). RNA-Seq was performed using the GS FLX+ instrument (454/Roche). Sequence reads were mapped against the human genome (hg19; UCSC). Comparison of the numbers of reads per gene between asthma and healthy controls was based on the negative binomial distribution and carried out with the R package DESeq including correction for multiple testing.

Project description:Rationale: Steroids are the mainstay of asthma therapy. However, it is unclear whether the benefits of steroids in asthma are merely based on anti-inflammatory properties. Steroids may also alter gene expression of airway smooth muscle (ASM). Hypothesis and Aims: We hypothesized that the transcriptomic profile of the ASM layer in endobronchial biopsies of atopic asthma patients changes by oral steroid therapy. First, we examined the change in ASM transcriptomic profile in endobronchial biopsies after 14 days of oral steroid therapy. Second, we investigated the association between changes in ASM transcriptomic profile and airway function. Methods: 12 atopic steroid-free asthma patients were included in this double-blind intervention study. Endobronchial biopsies were taken before and after 14 days of oral prednisolon (n=6) or placebo (n=6). RNA of laser-dissected ASM was sequenced (RNA-Seq) using the GS FLX+ System (454/Roche). Gene networks were identified using Ingenuity Pathway Analysis. RNA-Seq reads were assumed to follow a negative binomial distribution. At the current sample size the estimated false discovery rate was approximately 3%. Results: 15 genes were significantly changed by 14 days of oral prednisolon. 2 of these genes (FAM129A, SYNPO2) were associated with the methacholine PC20 (r=0.637, p=0.035; r=0.662, p=0.027). Pathway analysis revealed 3 gene networks that were associated with cellular functions including cellular growth, proliferation, and development. Conclusion: Oral prednisolon changes the gene expression profile of the ASM layer in asthma. This indicates that steroids also exert effects on the transcriptomic level of ASM in addition to their anti-inflammatory properties, which can promote improved airway function. The current randomized, double-blind, parallel, placebo-controlled intervention study comprised 4 visits. At visit 1, asthma patients were screened according to the in- and exclusion criteria prior to enrollment. Additionally, spirometry and methacholine bronchoprovocation test were performed. At visit 2, FEV1 reversibility was measured and endobronchial biopsies were collected during a bronchoscopy. Asthma patients were then prescribed oral prednisolon at a dose of 0.5 mg/kg per day or placebo for 14 consecutive days. The dosage and dosing scheme was based on international recommendations for the treatment of acute exacerbations [1]. On the 11th day after visit 2, the patients visited the lung function laboratory for spirometry and methacholine bronchoprovocation test. Finally, at visit 4 (15th day after visit 2) FEV1 reversibility was measured and endobronchial biopsies were collected by bronchoscopy. Airway smooth muscle was collected from the biopsies by laser capture microdissection and total RNA isolated. cDNA was prepared using the Ovation RNA-Seq System (NuGEN). RNA-Seq was performed using the GS FLX+ instrument (454/Roche). Sequence reads were mapped against the human genome (hg19; UCSC). Comparison of the numbers of reads per gene between the prednisolon and placebo study group was carried out with the R package DESeq.

Project description:The characterization of microbial community structure via 16S rRNA gene profiling has been greatly advanced in recent years by the application of amplicon pyrosequencing. The possibility of barcode-tagged sequencing of templates gives the opportunity to massively screen multiple samples from environmental or clinical sources for community details. However, an on-going debate questions the reproducibility and semi-quantitative rigour of pyrotag sequencing and, as in the early days of genetic community fingerprinting, pros and cons are continuously provided. In this study we investigate the reproducibility of bacterial 454 pyrotag sequencing over biological and technical replicates of natural microbiota. Moreover, via quantitatively defined template spiking to the natural community, we explore the potential for recovering specific template ratios within complex microbial communities. For this reason, we pyrotag sequenced three biological replicates of three samples, each belonging from yearly sampling campaigns of sediment from a tar oil contaminated aquifer in Düsseldorf, Germany. Furthermore, we subjected one DNA extract to replicate technical analyses as well as to increasing ratios (0, 0.2, 2 and 20%) of 16S rRNA genes from a pure culture (Aliivibrio fisheri) originally not present in the sample. Unexpectedly, taxa abundances were highly reproducible in our hands, with max standard deviation of ~3% abundance across biological and ~2% for technical replicates. Furthermore, our workflow was also capable of recovering A. fisheri amendmend ratios in reliable amounts (0, 0.29, 3.9 and 23.8%). These results highlight that pyrotag sequencing, if done and evaluated with due caution, has the potential to robustly recapture taxa template abundances within environmental microbial communities. 9 Biological and 3 technical replicates were evaluated, as well as potential to recover qPCR-defined ratios of DNA, in 454 pyrotag sequencing

Project description:BRCA1 deregulation is a frequent event in the pathogenesis of breast as well as other cancers. In addition to the DNA repair functions of BRCA1, it is involved in a wide range of cellular processes such as cell cycle, chromatin remodeling or transcription. However, the molecular events underlying BRCA1-associated tumorigenesis are still largely unknown. In order to deepen our understanding of BRCA1-associated tumorigenesis, we integrated data from mRNA and miRNA microarray experiments on the HCC1937 breast cancer cell line, and the isogenic HCC1937 stably expressing BRCA1, to obtain significant miRNA-mRNA relationships associated to the presence of the BRCA1 gene. Our results demonstrate that integration of mRNA and miRNA associated to BRCA1 expression was useful to discover new miRNA-gene interactions as molecular events underlying BRCA1-mediated tumorigenesis. Transcriptional profiling of the BRCA1-null HCC1937 cell line and HCC1937 cells after stable transfection of BRCA1. Two-condition experiment: Universal Human Reference RNA (Stratagene, catalog #740000) (Cy3) vs. cell line (Cy5). Biological replicates: 3 HCC1937, 3 BRCA1-transfected HCC1937 cells.

Project description:Contaminated aquifer (Dusseldorf-Flinger, Germany) templates extracted from 5 sediment depths ranging between 6.4 and 8.4 m below ground and over 3 years of sampling were amplified for amplicon pyrosequencing using the primers Ba27f (5’-aga gtt tga tcm tgg ctc ag-3’) and Ba519r (5’- tat tac cgc ggc kgc tg-3’), extended as amplicon fusion primers with respective primer A or B adapters, key sequence and multiplex identifiers (MID) as recommended by 454/Roche. Amplicons were purified and pooled as specified by the manufacturer. Emulsion PCR (emPCR), purification of DNA-enriched beads and sequencing run were performed following protocols and using a 2nd generation pyrosequencer (454 GS FLX Titanium, Roche) as recommended by the developer. Quality filtering of the pyrosequencing reads was performed using the automatic amplicon pipeline of the GS Run Processor (Roche), with a slight modification concerning the valley filter (vfScanAllFlows false instead of TiOnly) to extract the sequences. Demultiplexed raw reads were furhter trimmed for quality and lenght (>250 bp). 15 samples examined in total from important plume zones of the aquifer sampled in Feb. 2006, Sep. 2008 and Jun. 2009 (5 every year of sampling).

Project description:Bioavailability of electron acceptors is probably the most limiting factor in the restoration of anoxic, contaminated environments. The oxidation of contaminants such as aromatic hydrocarbons, particularly in aquifers, often depends on the reduction of ferric iron or sulphate. We have previously detected a highly active fringe zone beneath a toluene plume at a tar-oil contaminated aquifer in Germany, where a specialized community of contaminant degraders co-dominated by Desulfobulbaceae and Geobacteraceae had established. Although on-site geochemistry links degradation to sulphidogenic processes, dominating catabolic (benzylsuccinate synthase alpha-subunit, bssA) genes detected in situ appeared more related to those of Geobacter spp. Therefore, a stable isotope probing (SIP) incubation of sediment samples with 13C7-toluene and comparative electron acceptor amendment was performed. We introduce pyrosequencing of templates from SIP microcosms as a powerful new strategy in SIP gradient interpretation (Pyro-SIP). Our results reveal the central role of Desulfobulbaceae for sulphidogenic toluene degradation in situ, and affiliate the detected bssA genes to this lineage. This, and the absence of 13C-labelled DNA of Geobacter spp. in SIP gradients preclude their relevance as toluene degraders in situ. In contrast, Betaproteobacteria related to Georgfuchsia spp. became labelled under iron-reducing conditions. Furthermore, secondary toluene degraders belonging to the Peptococcaceae detected in both treatments suggest the possibility of functional redundancy amongst anaerobic toluene degraders on site. 2 samples examined from the different electron-acceptors (sulphate or ferric iron) incubates at the time point of maximal toluene degradation.

Project description:Microarray?based techniques are being used to obtain miRNA and gene expression signatures associated with different samples. In order to deepen our understanding of BRCA1-associated tumorigenesis, we integrated data from microarray experiments to obtain significant miRNA-mRNA relationships associated with the presence of the BRCA1 gene. We obtained significant miRNA-gene-pathway relationships underlying the array signatures. Furthermore, we have demonstrated that miR-146a, miR-99b and miR-205, induced in HCC1937 BRCA1-expressing cells, commonly regulate the TRAF2 gene, a key regulator of NF-?B and MAPK pathways. In addition, re-expression of miR-146a, miR-99b or miR-205 in HCC1937 BRCA1-null cells was sufficient to modulate NF-?B activity. Thus, integration between miRNA-mRNA expression data allowed us to define genes and pathways controlled by miRNAs induced in the context of BRCA1 expression. Comparison of miRNA expression profiles between two isogenic cell lines differing in BRCA1 gene expression status. Single-color experiments in a pairwise comparison design with three technical replicates per cell line.
