Project description:By comparing mouse fibroblasts from two parental strains (Bl6 and Spretus) with fibroblasts from their first generation offspring (F1) we can detect allele specific expression of proteins. The Bl6 and Spretus lines are evolutionary distant and harbour many SNPs in their genomes which when synonomous we can detect on the protein level using mass spectrometry. By mixing SILAC labeled Bl6, Spretus and F1 offspring cell lines we can detect peptides shared between all three cell lines and also SNP peptides that are only expressed in the F1 cells and either Bl6 or Spretus cells. By comparing the abundance of the shared peptides and the SNP peptides we can quantify how much of a protein in the F1 cells that comes from the paternal or maternal allele. This data were then further compared to polysome profiling data. Azidohomoalanine labeling was used to enrich newly synthesized proteins from the three cell lines.

Project description:The identification of stable reference genes is a prerequisite for ensuring accurate validation of gene expression, yet too little is known about stable reference genes of porcine MSCs. The present study was, therefore, conducted to assess the stability of reference genes in porcine MSCs derived from bone marrow (BMSCs), adipose (AMSCs), and skin (SMSCs) with their in vitro differentiated cells into mesenchymal lineages such as adipocytes, osteocytes, and chondrocytes. Twelve commonly used reference genes were investigated for their threshold cycle (Ct) values by qRT-PCR. The Ct values of candidate reference genes were analyzed by geNorm software to clarify stable expression regardless of experimental conditions. Thus, Pearson's correlation was applied to determine correlation between the three most stable reference genes (NF3) and optimal number of reference genes (NFopt). In assessment of stability of reference gene across experimental conditions by geNorm analysis, undifferentiated MSCs and each differentiated status into mesenchymal lineages showed slightly different results but similar patterns about more or less stable rankings. Furthermore, Pearson's correlation revealed high correlation (r > 0.9) between NF3 and NFopt. Overall, the present study showed that HMBS, YWHAZ, SDHA, and TBP are suitable reference genes for qRT-PCR in porcine MSCs.

Project description:The contribution to genetic diversity of genomic segmental copy number variations (CNVs) is less well understood than that of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). While less frequent than SNPs, CNVs have greater potential to affect phenotype. In this study, we have performed the most comprehensive survey to date of CNVs in mice, analyzing the genomes of 42 Mouse Phenome Consortium priority strains. This microarray comparative genomic hybridization (CGH)-based analysis has identified 2094 putative CNVs, with an average of 10 Mb of DNA in 51 CNVs when individual mouse strains were compared to the reference strain C57BL/6J. This amount of variation results in gene content that can differ by hundreds of genes between strains. These genes include members of large families such as the major histocompatibility and pheromone receptor genes, but there are also many singleton genes including genes with expected phenotypic consequences from their deletion or amplification. Using a whole-genome association analysis, we demonstrate that complex multigenic phenotypes, such as food intake, can be associated with specific copy number changes.

Project description:The specific genes influencing the quantitative variation in macronutrient preference and food intake are virtually unknown. We refined a previously identified mouse chromosome 17 (MMU17) region harboring quantitative trait loci (QTL) with large effects on preferential macronutrient intake-carbohydrate (Mnic1), total kilcalories (Kcal2), and total food volume (Tfv1) using interval-specific congenic strains. These loci were isolated in the [C57BL/6J.CAST/EiJ-17.1-(D17Mit19-D17Mit50); B6.CAST-17.1] strain, developed by introgressing a ~40.1 Mb CAST MMU17 region into recipient B6 genome. In a diet selection paradigm (carbohydrate/protein vs. fat/protein), these B6.CAST-17.1 sub-congenic mice eat 30% more calories from the carbohydrate-rich diet, ~10% more total calories, and ~9% more total food volume per body weight. In the current study, this carbohydrate-preferring B6.CAST-17.1 subcongenic strain was crossed with the fat-preferring inbred B6 strain to generate a subcongenic-derived F2 mapping population; genotypes were determined using a high-density, custom SNP panel. The main outcome of this study is that genetic linkage analysis greatly reduced the 95% confidence interval (CI) for Mnic1 (encompassing Kcal2 and Tfv1) from 40.1 to 29.5 Mb and more precisely established the QTL boundaries. Specifically, the genetic architecture for Mnic1 (preferential carbohydrate intake) does not follow the same pattern as that for co-localized Kcal2/Tfv1 (total kcal and food volume, respectively), suggesting the presence of separate quantitative trait genes for these food intake traits. No genetic linkage for self-selected fat intake was detected, underscoring the carbohydrate-specific effects of this MMU17 locus. The Mnic1/Kcal2/Tfv1 QTL was further de-limited to a ~19.1 Mb interval, based on the absence of macronutrient diet selection phenotypes in subcongenic HQ17IIa mice that possess CAST MMU17 donor segment on a C57BL/6Jhg/hg background. A second key finding is the separation of two energy balance QTLs: Mnic1/Kcal2/Tfv1 for food intake and a newly discovered locus regulating short term body weight gain. The genes Decr2, Ppard and Agapt1 in the critical QTL interval were identified and prioritized using a combination of genome sequence analysis, and tag-based transcriptome sequencing to measure hypothalamic gene expression in non-recombinant F2 controls, possessing cast/cast and b6/b6 genotypes across the sub-congenic segment.

Project description:IMPACT STATEMENT:As the use of adipose-derived stromal cells (ASCs) in clinical trials increases, so does the amount of experimental data from research groups, many of which use human ASCs to study adipogenesis in obesity. Different conditions are constantly being applied to ASCs in vitro, to obtain a therapeutic product for potential downstream applications. Few articles have looked at the effect of different conditions on ASC reference gene (RG) expression and stability, which was the aim of this research, as such this article will assist other researchers to make an informed decision about RG selection for gene expression studies using ASCs including those for adipogenesis.

Project description:We performed DNA sequencing of potential biallelic SNPs in HD-B and DM1-A patient cell lines. These potential biallelic SNPs were identified in the 4C-seq interaction data. We selected a subset of these SNPs for confirmation by PCR, so we amplified the genomic regions that contained these potential SNPs and performed 2 x 150 bp paired-end sequencing on Illumina MiSeq nano.

Project description:PURPOSE: Limbal stem cell deficiency is a challenging clinical problem and the current treatment involves replenishing the depleted limbal stem cell (LSC) pool by either limbal tissue transplantation or use of cultivated limbal epithelial cells (LEC). Our experience of cultivating the LEC on denuded human amniotic membrane using a feeder cell free method, led to identification of mesenchymal cells of limbus (MC-L), which showed phenotypic resemblance to bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSC-BM). To understand the transcriptional profile of these cells, microarray experiments were carried out. METHODS: RNA was isolated from cultured LEC, MC-L and MSC-BM and microarray experiments were carried out by using Agilent chip (4x44 k). The microarray data was validated by using Realtime and semiquntitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction. RESULTS: The microarray analysis revealed specific gene signature of LEC and MC-L, and also their complementary role related to cytokine and growth factor profile, thus supporting the nurturing roles of the MC-L. We have also observed similar and differential gene expression between MC-L and MSC-BM. CONCLUSIONS: This study represents the first extensive gene expression analysis of limbal explant culture derived epithelial and mesenchymal cells and as such reveals new insight into the biology, ontogeny, and in vivo function of these cells.

Project description:To evaluate the possible deleterious affects prolonged cryopreservation and assisted reproductive technologies may have on the DNA of F0 progeny, we used array-based comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) for analysis of genomic DNA. ICSI-derived progeny were generated from ♂ (ZFLacZ sperm) x ♀ (DBA x C57BL/6 oocyte), where the ZFLazZ transgenic mice were originally generated from an SJL x C57BL/6 background.

Project description:Cellular mosaicism due to monoallelic autosomal expression (MAE), with cell selection during development, is becoming increasingly recognized as prevalent in mammals, leading to interest in understanding its extent and mechanism(s). We report here use of clonal cell lines derived from the CNS of adult female [Formula: see text] hybrid (C57BL/6 X JF1) mice to characterize MAE as neural stem cells (nscs) differentiate to astrocyte-like cells (asls). We found that different subsets of genes show MAE in the two populations of cells; in each case, there is strong enrichment for genes specific to the respective developmental state. Genes that exhibit MAE are 22% of nsc-specific genes and 26% of asl-specific genes. Moreover, the promoters of genes with MAE have reduced CpG dinucleotides but increased CpG differences between the two parental mouse strains. Extending the study of variability to wild populations of mice, we found evidence for balancing selection as a contributing force in evolution of those genes showing developmental specificity (i.e., expressed in either nsc or asl), not just for genes showing MAE. Furthermore, we found that genes showing skewed allelic expression (SKE) were similarly enriched among cell type-specific genes and also showed a heightened probability of balancing selection. Thus, developmental stage-specific genes and genes with MAE or SKE seem to make up overlapping classes subject to selection for increased diversity. The implications of these results for development and evolution are discussed in the context of a model with stochastic epigenetic modifications taking place only during a relatively brief developmental window.
