Project description:Tagged versions of thyroid hormone receptors alpha (TRa) and beta (TRb) were stably transfected in two C17.2 cell lines, C17.2a and C17.2b, respectively. Cells were treated with 10-7 M T3 for 6, 12 or 24h or left untreated. We performed DGE by sequencing all polyA RNA according to a SAGE-derived method. Differential gene expression after T3 treatment was computed and the T3 responses induced by the two receptors were compared. We could conclude that, in a similar environment, target genes are only partially shared and that a significant proportion show receptor preference and even selectivity. Examination of thyroid hormone target genes over time in two cell lines (C17.2a, C17.2b), each expressing one of the thyroid hormone receptors (alpha, beta).
Project description:Tagged versions of thyroid hormone receptors alpha (TRa) and beta (TRb) were stably transfected in two C17.2 cell lines, C17.2a and C17.2b, respectively. We performed an affinity-based purification of chromatin (ChAP), and high-throughput sequencing was used to assess binding sites of both receptors (ChAP-Seq). Standard ChIP-Seq for RXR was also performed in C17.2a cells. These data allow us to compare binding sites for both receptors and to conclude that they were only partially redundant, with co-existence of receptor-specific sites. Examination of binding sites of the two thyroid hormone receptors (alpha, beta) in two cell lines (C17.2a, C17.2b), each expressing one of the receptors. Examination of RXR binding sites in C17.2a cells.

Project description:The goal of our present work was to understand the influence parvovirus B19 infection may have on the thyroid hormone signaling pathway, as well as the nuclear receptors (NR) pathway overall. We demonstrated that B19 infection of CD36+ erythroid progenitor cells leads to downregulation of the thyroid hormone receptor α isoform. In addition to that we have shown that B19 infection modulates the expression of other members of the NR superfamily such as estrogen and retinoid receptors.
Project description:Comparison of cistromes from PAX8, NKX2.1, and FOXE1 ChIP-Seq analysis using mouse thyroid gland and rat thyrocyte PCCl3 cells revealed that there is a significant overlap between GLIS3 binding regions and those of PAX8, NKX2.1, and FOXE1 in genes associated with thyroid hormone biosynthesis.
Project description:During the first weeks after birth, cardiomyocytes within the mouse heart progressively exit the cell cycle, binucleate, and lose regenerative capacity. We have determined that combined pharmacological inhibition of thyroid hormone and adrenergic signaling during postnatal development robustly enhances cardiomyocyte proliferation, retention of diploid cardiomyocytes, and functional cardiac regeneration at postnatal day 14. In this study, we perform transcriptome-wide analyses to understand the genetic pathways regulated by thyroid hormone, alpha-adreneric, and beta-adrenergic signaling - individually and in combination - that promote cardiomyocyte cell-cycle arrest and loss of cardiac regenerative potential.
Project description:Introgressed variants from other species can be an important source of genetic variation because they may arise rapidly, can include multiple mutations on a single haplotype, and have often been pretested by selection in the species of origin. Although introgressed alleles are generally deleterious, several studies have reported introgression as the source of adaptive alleles-including the rodenticide-resistant variant of Vkorc1 that introgressed from Mus spretus into European populations of Mus musculus domesticus. Here, we conducted bidirectional genome scans to characterize introgressed regions into one wild population of M. spretus from Spain and three wild populations of M. m. domesticus from France, Germany, and Iran. Despite the fact that these species show considerable intrinsic postzygotic reproductive isolation, introgression was observed in all individuals, including in the M. musculus reference genome (GRCm38). Mus spretus individuals had a greater proportion of introgression compared with M. m. domesticus, and within M. m. domesticus, the proportion of introgression decreased with geographic distance from the area of sympatry. Introgression was observed on all autosomes for both species, but not on the X-chromosome in M. m. domesticus, consistent with known X-linked hybrid sterility and inviability genes that have been mapped to the M. spretus X-chromosome. Tract lengths were generally short with a few outliers of up to 2.7 Mb. Interestingly, the longest introgressed tracts were in olfactory receptor regions, and introgressed tracts were significantly enriched for olfactory receptor genes in both species, suggesting that introgression may be a source of functional novelty even between species with high barriers to gene flow.
