Transcriptomic data showing differentially expressed genes between Notch3 and Notch4 deleted mice.

ABSTRACT: The Notch signaling pathway is an important conserved pathway for normal homeostasis during development. However, targeted deletion of Notch4 (Notch4^d1 ) or Notch3 (Notch3^d1 ) in mice is not lethal. In fact, both Notch4^d1 and Notch3^d1 mice develop normally and are fertile. Here we present RNA seq analysis of differential gene expression in the kidneys of Notch4^d1 mice versus the Notch3 ^d1 mice, all on FVB background. Kidneys were collected from Notch4^d1 and Notch3 ^d1 littermates at 3 months of age. RNA sequencing was carried out. The raw data were analyzed for differential gene expression using a negative binomial generalized linear model in the DeSeq2 software package. We used P-value ?0.05 and an absolute fold change of 1.5 or greater to identify top upregulated and downregulated genes in Notch4 ^d1 mice compared to Notch3 ^d1 mice. The data provided will indentify targets of Notch3 and Notch4 signaling, specifically in kidney diseases where Notch3 or Notch4 are abberantly or redundantly expressed.

Project description:IntroductionOsteoarthritis (OA) refers to a commonly seen degenerative joint disorder and a major global public health burden. According to the existing literature, osteoarthritis is related to epigenetic changes, which are important for diagnosing and treating the disease early. Through early targeted treatment, costly treatments and poor prognosis caused by advanced osteoarthritis can be avoided.MethodsThis study combined gene differential expression analysis and weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) of the transcriptome with epigenome microarray data to discover the hub gene of OA. We obtained 2 microarray datasets (GSE114007, GSE73626) in Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO). The R software was utilized for identifying differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and differentially methylated genes (DMGs). By using WGCNA to analyze the relationships between modules and phenotypes, it was discovered that the blue module (MEBlue) has the strongest phenotypic connection with OA (cor = 0.92, p = 4e-16). The hub genes for OA, also known as the hub methylated differentially expressed genes, were identified by matching the MEblue module to differentially methylated differentially expressed genes. Furthermore, this study used Gene set variation analysis (GSVA) to identify specific signal pathways associated with hub genes. qRT-PCR and western blotting assays were used to confirm the expression levels of the hub genes in OA patients and healthy controls.ResultsThree hub genes were discovered: HTRA1, P2RY6, and RCAN1. GSVA analysis showed that high HTRA1 expression was mainly enriched in epithelial-mesenchymal transition and apical junction; high expression of P2RY6 was mainly enriched in the peroxisome, coagulation, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition; and high expression of RCAN1 was mainly enriched in epithelial-mesenchymal-transition, TGF-β-signaling, and glycolysis. The results of the RT-qPCR and WB assay were consistent with the findings.DiscussionThe three genes tested may cause articular cartilage degeneration by inducing chondrocyte hypertrophy, regulating extracellular matrix accumulation, and improving macrophage pro-inflammatory response, resulting in the onset and progression of osteoarthritis. They can provide new ideas for targeted treatment of osteoarthritis.

Project description:Malignant pheochromocytoma (PHEO) can only be fully diagnosed when metastatic foci develop. However, at this point in time, patients gain little benefit from traditional therapeutic methods. Methylation plays an important role in the pathogenesis of PHEO. The aim of this research was to use integrated bioinformatics analysis to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) showing aberrant methylation patterns in PHEO and therefore provide further understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying this condition. Aberrantly methylated DEGs were first identified by using R software (version 3.6) to combine gene expression microarray data (GSE19422) with gene methylation microarray data (GSE43293). An online bioinformatics database (DAVID) was then used to identify all overlapping DEGs showing aberrant methylation; these were annotated and then functional enrichment was ascertained by gene ontology (GO) analysis. The online STRING tool was then used to analyze interactions between all overlapping DEGs showing aberrant methylation; these results were then visualized by Cytoscape (version 3.61). Next, using the cytoHubba plugin within Cytoscape, we identified the top 10 hub genes and found that these were predominantly enriched in pathways related to cancer. Reference to The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) further confirmed our results and further identified an upregulated hypomethylated gene (SCN2A) and a downregulated hypermethylated gene (KCNQ1). Logistic regression analysis and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis indicated that KCNQ1 and SCN2A represent promising differential diagnostic biomarkers between benign and malignant PHEO. Finally, clinical data showed that there were significant differences in the concentrations of potassium and sodium when compared between pre-surgery and post-surgery day 1. These suggest that KCNQ1 and SCN2A, genes that encode potassium and sodium channels, respectively, may serve as putative diagnostic targets for the diagnosis and prognosis of PHEO and therefore facilitate the clinical management of PHEO.
