Project description:Affymetrix HG U133 Plus 2.0 Array (Affymetrix, Santa Clara, CA) was used to profile transcriptomes and discover altered gene expression in saliva supernatant. Salivary transcriptomic biomarker discovery was performed on 10 lung cancer patients and 10 matched controls. Seven messenger RNA biomarkers were discovered and pre-validated This study consisted of two phases, including a discovery phase, followed by a pre-validation phase. 10 lung cancer samples and 10 matched control samples were chosen for the biomarker discovery phase. The transscriptomic approach profiled the saliva supernatant samples from 10 lung cancer patients and 10 healthy control subjects using the Affymetrix HG U133 Plus 2.0 Array (Affymetrix, Santa Clara, CA). Biomarkers identified from the microarray study were first verified using the discovery sample set (10 lung cancer and 10 healthy control).

Project description:Investigating the origin of parthenogenesis through interspecific hybridization can provide insight into how meiosis may be altered by genetic incompatibilities, which is fundamental for our understanding of the formation of reproductive barriers. Yet the genetic mechanisms giving rise to obligate parthenogenesis in eukaryotes remain understudied. In the microcrustacean Daphnia pulex species complex, obligately parthenogenetic (OP) isolates emerged as backcrosses of two cyclically parthenogenetic (CP) parental species, D. pulex and D. pulicaria, two closely related but ecologically distinct species. We examine the genome-wide expression in OP females at the early resting egg production stage, a life-history stage distinguishing OP and CP reproductive strategies, in comparison to CP females of the same stage from the two parental species. Our analyses of the expression data reveal that underdominant and overdominant genes are abundant in OP isolates, suggesting widespread regulatory incompatibilities between the parental species. More importantly, underdominant genes (i.e., genes with expression lower than both parentals) in the OP isolates are enriched in meiosis and cell-cycle pathways, indicating an important role of underdominance in the origin of obligate parthenogenesis. Furthermore, metabolic and biosynthesis pathways enriched with overdominant genes (i.e., expression higher than both parentals) are another genomic signature of OP isolates.

Project description:BACKGROUND: The contribution of individual organs to the whole-body adaptive response to fasting has not been established. Hence, gene-expression profiling, pathway, network and gene-set enrichment analysis and immunohistochemistry were carried out on mouse liver after 0, 12, 24 and 72 hours of fasting. RESULTS: Liver wet weight had declined approximately 44, approximately 5, approximately 11 and approximately 10% per day after 12, 24, 48 and 72 hours of fasting, respectively. Liver structure and metabolic zonation were preserved. Supervised hierarchical clustering showed separation between the fed, 12-24 h-fasted and 72 h-fasted conditions. Expression profiling and pathway analysis revealed that genes involved in amino-acid, lipid, carbohydrate and energy metabolism responded most significantly to fasting, that the response peaked at 24 hours, and had largely abated by 72 hours. The strong induction of the urea cycle, in combination with increased expression of enzymes of the tricarboxylic-acid cycle and oxidative phosphorylation, indicated a strong stimulation of amino-acid oxidation peaking at 24 hours. At this time point, fatty-acid oxidation and ketone-body formation were also induced. The induction of genes involved in the unfolded-protein response underscored the cell stress due to enhanced energy metabolism. The continuous high expression of enzymes of the urea cycle, malate-aspartate shuttle, and the gluconeogenic enzyme Pepck and the re-appearance of glycogen in the pericentral hepatocytes indicate that amino-acid oxidation yields to glucose and glycogen synthesis during prolonged fasting. CONCLUSION: The changes in liver gene expression during fasting indicate that, in the mouse, energy production predominates during early fasting and that glucose production and glycogen synthesis become predominant during prolonged fasting.

Project description:Chondrogenesis is a multistep process, in which cartilage progenitor cells generate a tissue with distinct structural and functional properties. Although several approaches to cartilage regeneration rely on the differentiation of implanted progenitor cells, the temporal transcriptomic landscape of in vitro chondrogenesis in different models has not been reported. Using RNA sequencing, we examined differences in gene expression patterns during cartilage formation in micromass cultures of embryonic limb bud-derived progenitors. Principal component and trajectory analyses revealed a progressively different and distinct transcriptome during chondrogenesis. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs), based on pairwise comparisons of samples from consecutive days were classified into clusters and analysed. We confirmed the involvement of the top DEGs in chondrogenic differentiation using pathway analysis and identified several chondrogenesis-associated transcription factors and collagen subtypes that were not previously linked to cartilage formation. Transient gene silencing of ATOH8 or EBF1 on day 0 attenuated chondrogenesis by deregulating the expression of key osteochondrogenic marker genes in micromass cultures. These results provide detailed insight into the molecular mechanism of chondrogenesis in primary micromass cultures and present a comprehensive dataset of the temporal transcriptomic landscape of chondrogenesis, which may serve as a platform for new molecular approaches in cartilage tissue engineering.

Project description:We report transcriptomic dysregulations in the spinal cord of asymptomatic (A: 1.5 months) symptomatic (S: 6 months) and end stage (E: 10-12 months) CHMP2Bintron5 mice by RNA sequencing. We found that genes related to immune system and lipid metabolism had altered expression levels at 1.5 month. Expression of genes related to neuronal system was atletred at 6months and expression of genes related to neuronal system and extracellular matrix xere dfound deregulated at the end-stage. These results were used to determine the change of transcriptomic profile throughout the course of the disease.

Project description:Tigecycline, a protein translation inhibitor, is a treatment of last resort for infections caused by the opportunistic multidrug resistance human pathogen Acinetobacter baumannii. However, strains resistant to tigecycline were reported not long after its clinical introduction. Translation inhibitor antibiotics perturb ribosome function and induce the reduction of (p)ppGpp, an alarmone involved in the stringent response that negatively modulates ribosome production. Through RNA sequencing, this study revealed a significant reduction in the transcription of genes in citric acid cycle and cell respiration, suggesting tigecycline inhibits or slows down bacterial growth. Our results indicated that the drug-induced reduction of (p)ppGpp level promoted the production but diminished the degradation of ribosomes, which mitigates the translational inhibition effect by tigecycline. The reduction of (p)ppGpp also led to a decrease of transcription coupled nucleotide excision repair which likely increases the chances of development of tigecycline resistant mutants. Increased expression of genes linked to horizontal gene transfer were also observed. The most upregulated gene, rtcB, involving in RNA repair, is either a direct tigecycline stress response or is in response to the transcription de-repression of a toxin-antitoxin system. The most down-regulated genes encode two ?-lactamases, which is a possible by-product of tigecycline-induced reduction in transcription of genes associated with peptidoglycan biogenesis. This transcriptomics study provides a global genetic view of why A. baumannii is able to rapidly develop tigecycline resistance.

Project description:Liver progenitor cells (LPCs) can proliferate extensively, are able to differentiate into hepatocytes and cholangiocytes, and contribute to liver regeneration. The presence of LPCs, however, often accompanies liver disease and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), indicating that they may be a cancer stem cell. Understanding LPC biology and establishing a sensitive, rapid, and reliable method to detect their presence in the liver will assist diagnosis and facilitate monitoring of treatment outcomes in patients with liver pathologies. A transcriptomic meta-analysis of over 400 microarrays was undertaken to compare LPC lines against datasets of muscle and embryonic stem cell lines, embryonic and developed liver (DL), and HCC. Three gene clusters distinguishing LPCs from other liver cell types were identified. Pathways overrepresented in these clusters denote the proliferative nature of LPCs and their association with HCC. Our analysis also revealed 26 novel markers, LPC markers, including Mcm2 and Ltbp3, and eight known LPC markers, including M2pk and Ncam. These markers specified the presence of LPCs in pathological liver tissue by qPCR and correlated with LPC abundance determined using immunohistochemistry. These results showcase the value of global transcript profiling to identify pathways and markers that may be used to detect LPCs in injured or diseased liver.

Project description:Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) (grade IV astrocytoma) has been assumed to be the most fatal type of glioma with low survival and high recurrence rates, even after prompt surgical removal and aggressive courses of treatment. Transcriptional reprogramming to stem cell-like state could explain some of the deregulated molecular signatures in GBM disease. The present study aimed to quantify the expression profiling of longevity-related transcriptional factors SOX2, OCT3/4, and NANOG to evaluate their diagnostic and performance values in high-grade gliomas. Forty-four specimens were obtained from glioblastoma patients (10 females and 34 males). Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction was applied for relative gene expression quantification. In silico network analysis was executed. NANOG and OCT3/4 mRNA expression levels were significantly downregulated while that of SOX2 was upregulated in cancer compared to noncancer tissues. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis showed high diagnostic performance of NANOG and OCT3/4 than SOX2. However, the aberrant expressions of the genes studied were not associated with the prognostic variables in the current population. In conclusion, the current study highlighted the aberrant expression of certain longevity-associated transcription factors in glioblastoma multiforme which may direct the attention towards new strategies in the treatment of such lethal disease.

Project description:Dendritic cells (DC) are central to regulating innate and adaptive immune responses. Strategies that modify DC function provide new therapeutic opportunities in autoimmune diseases and transplantation. Current pharmacological approaches can alter DC phenotype to induce tolerogenic DC (tolDC), a maturation-resistant DC subset capable of directing a regulatory immune response that are being explored in current clinical trials. The classical phenotypic characterization of tolDC is limited to cell-surface marker expression and anti-inflammatory cytokine production, although these are not specific. TolDC may be better defined using gene signatures, but there is no consensus definition regarding genotypic markers. We address this shortcoming by analyzing available transcriptomic data to yield an independent set of differentially expressed genes that characterize human tolDC. We validate this transcriptomic signature and also explore gene differences according to the method of tolDC generation. As well as establishing a novel characterization of tolDC, we interrogated its translational utility in vivo, demonstrating this geneset was enriched in the liver, a known tolerogenic organ. Our gene signature will potentially provide greater understanding regarding transcriptional regulators of tolerance and allow researchers to standardize identification of tolDC used for cellular therapy in clinical trials.
