Project description:Inorganic polyphosphate (polyP) is synthesized by bacteria in response to various stresses, but the mechanism of its regulation is unknown. Mutants of Escherichia coli lacking the RNA polymerase-binding transcription factor dksA are defective in polyP synthesis after a nutrient limitation stress, and this defect is reversed in a dksA greA mutant. In this work, we used RNA sequencing to compare transcription in wild-type, dksA, and dksA greA strains of E. coli before and after nutrient limitation, to identify genes whose expression pattern correlates with ability to synthesize polyP.

Project description:Colorectal tumors have an impaired gene expression. As microRNAs (miRNAs) are involved in post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression we performed high-troughput miRNA profiling of 20 Adenomatous Polyp, 20 CRC and 32 healthy control formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded samples using small RNA sequencing approach.
Project description:Deciphering gene regulatory mechanisms through the analysis of high-throughput expression data is a challenging computational problem. Previous computational studies have used large expression datasets in order to resolve fine patterns of coexpression, producing clusters or modules of potentially coregulated genes. These methods typically examine promoter sequence information, such as DNA motifs or transcription factor occupancy data, in a separate step after clustering. We needed an alternative and more integrative approach to study the oxygen regulatory network in Saccharomyces cerevisiae using a small dataset of perturbation experiments. Mechanisms of oxygen sensing and regulation underlie many physiological and pathological processes, and only a handful of oxygen regulators have been identified in previous studies. We used a new machine learning algorithm called MEDUSA to uncover detailed information about the oxygen regulatory network using genome-wide expression changes in response to perturbations in the levels of oxygen, heme, Hap1, and Co2+. MEDUSA integrates mRNA expression, promoter sequence, and ChIP-chip occupancy data to learn a model that accurately predicts the differential expression of target genes in held-out data. We used a novel margin-based score to extract significant condition-specific regulators and assemble a global map of the oxygen sensing and regulatory network. This network includes both known oxygen and heme regulators, such as Hap1, Mga2, Hap4, and Upc2, as well as many new candidate regulators. MEDUSA also identified many DNA motifs that are consistent with previous experimentally identified transcription factor binding sites. Because MEDUSA's regulatory program associates regulators to target genes through their promoter sequences, we directly tested the predicted regulators for OLE1, a gene specifically induced under hypoxia, by experimental analysis of the activity of its promoter. In each case, deletion of the candidate regulator resulted in the predicted effect on promoter activity, confirming that several novel regulators identified by MEDUSA are indeed involved in oxygen regulation. MEDUSA can reveal important information from a small dataset and generate testable hypotheses for further experimental analysis.
Project description:RNAseq was performed on NvLsd1 mutants and controls (consisting of NvLsd1GFP/- and NvLsd1GFP/GFP animals) in quadruplicate at two different developmental stages: 4 day-old late planula and 13 day-old primary polyp
Project description:Here we investigate the transcriptional landscapes of nasal polyp IgD+ (naïve-like) B cells, nasal polyp ASC, and blood naïve B cells using RNA-seq. These data found that nasal polypP IgD+ naïve-like B cells are activated and similar to nasal polyp ASC and distinct from circulating B cells in the blood.
Project description:We report the RNA-seq data of 40 advanced colorectal adenoma patients form Dongguk University Ilsan International Hospital. The polyps with a diameter of 1cm or greater were regarded as advenced colorectal adenoma and obtained through colonoscopy. The data consist of 22 tublar adenoma, 6 tublovillous adenoma, 5 sessile serrated adenoma/polyp, 1 traditional serrated adenoma, intramucosal adenocarcinoma, neuroendocrine tumor, hyperplastic polyp, inflammatory polyp, high grade dysplasia, and atypical glands with adjacent hyperplastic mucosa.
Project description:Polyphosphates (PolyP) are highly anionic, linear polymers composed of long chains of inorganic phosphates linked together by phosphoanhydride bonds. PolyP chains are found in all kingdoms of life, and play roles in phosphate homeostasis, cell growth, infection, and blood coagulation. Unlike in bacteria and yeast, the mammalian enzymes responsible for the synthesis and degradation of polyP are unknown, which presents a challenge for the study of polyP in higher eukaryotes. To overcome this, we use a system to produce polyP inside of human cells through the ectopic expression of the E. coli Ppk1 synthetic enzyme. Here, we present the results from large-scale transcriptomic and proteomic analyses of polyP producing HEK293T cells. We uncovered >350 RNAs and 14 proteins that show changes following in vivo polyP accumulation. Follow up on specific hits revealed that the internal accumulation of polyP resulted in a significant decrease in the dehydrogenase/reductase DHRS2 without a corresponding increase in p53 phosphorylation, and activation of the ERK1/2-ERG1 signaling axis. Finally, following upregulation of internal polyP we observed the relocalization and redistribution of several nuclear proteins, including chromatin bound proteins DEK, TAF10, GTF2I and the translation initiation factor eIF5b. Altogether, our work serves as a novel resource to understand the impact of increased intracellular polyP in mammalian cells.
