View SamplesRNA isolation and purification steps greatly influence the results of gene expression profiling. There are two commercially available products for whole blood RNA collection, PAXgene and Tempus blood collection tubes, and each comes with their own RNA purification method. We examined the impact of RNA isolation methods on gene expression profiles.

View SamplesWe studied two growth phases- proliferation, and expansion in first pair of leaves in Arabidosis using two different overexpression lines of PID gene. Ectopic expression of PID lead to small rosette and leaf phenotype. Overall design: We used first pair of leaves from proliferation ( 9 DAS-days after stratification) and expansion (16 DAS) stage from wild type Col-0 ecotype, 35S::PID10, 35S::PID21. Three genotype, three biological replicates, two time points (=18 sample). Experiment repeated twice generating two reads in two lanes i.e. L001 & L002 for each sample. Results calculated after combining reads from both lanes (=18x2=36 raw files; 2 for each sample)

View SamplesIn this study, investigators recruited the largest reported cohort of tolerant kidney transplant recipients who maintained their graft after ceasing to take their immunosuppression drug, and compared this cohort to subjects with stable allograft function while on immunosuppression and healthy non transplated, controls. Using gene expression studies, they identified genetic markers that are strong candidates for predicting kidney transplant candidates who may benefit from minimization or withdrawl of immunosuppression.

View SamplesThe molecular chaperons FK506-binding proteins (Fkbps) comprise one of three families of peptidyl prolyl isomerases, which promote the transition between cis- and trans-conformations of peptidyl prolyl bonds. Mouse Fkbp family is composed of at least 15 members, but the functions of the large family in cell proliferation and differentiation remain elusive. During myoblast differentiation, the cells need to exit the cell cycle before fusion and terminal differentiation to form myotubes. The clear distinction between proliferation and differentiation provides an ideal model with which to investigate the roles of Fkbps in these two cell biological events. We found that depletion of FkbpC in mouse myoblasts delayed the exit from the cell cycle and expression of myotube-specific genes, whereas its overexpression caused opposite effects. At a mechanistic level, our study revealed a crucial function of FkbpC in Cdk4 activation during myoblast proliferation. Cdk4 undergoes conformational changes in the HSP90/Cdc37/Cdk4 complex as a prerequisite for activation through binding to CyclinD1 accompanied by phosphorylation. Our results showed that FkbpC depletion released Cdk4 from the HSP90 complex, which increased the Cdk4/CyclinD1 complex in myoblasts and sustained high levels of phosphorylated Cdk4 and Rb during differentiation. These results explain the delayed cell cycle exit and differentiation in the depleted cells. In addition, after synchronizing the cell cycle of myoblasts we found dynamic changes of the amounts of FkbpC and Cdk4 in the HSP90 complex during the G1/S transition. Knockout mice of FkbpC demonstrated delayed muscle regeneration after chemical damage, providing an in vivo evidence for the essential role of FkbpC in muscle differentiation. Collectively, our study uncovered FkbpC's critical function as a novel switch regulating the transition from proliferation to differentiation through controlling one of the central regulators of proliferation, Cdk4. Overall design: mRNA profiles of Fkbp4 knockdown, Fkbp5 knockdown and control C2C12 cells at d0, d3 and d5 were generated by using Illumina HiSeq2500.

View SamplesIncreased activation of the serine-glycine biosynthetic pathway is an integral part of cancer metabolism that drives macromolecule synthesis needed for cell proliferation. Whether this pathway is under epigenetic control is unknown. Here we show that the histone H3 lysine 9 (H3K9) methyltransferase G9A is required for maintaining the pathway enzyme genes in an active state marked by H3K9 monomethylation and for the transcriptional activation of this pathway in response to serine deprivation. G9A inactivation depletes serine and its downstream metabolites, triggering cell death with autophagy in cancer cell lines of different tissue origins. Higher G9A expression, which is observed in various cancers and is associated with greater mortality in cancer patients, increases serine production and enhances the proliferation and tumorigenicity of cancer cells. These findings identify a G9A-dependent epigenetic program in the control of cancer metabolism, providing a rationale for G9A inhibition as a therapeutic strategy for cancer.
The histone H3 methyltransferase G9A epigenetically activates the serine-glycine synthesis pathway to sustain cancer cell survival and proliferation.

View SamplesCircadian rhythms regulate cell proliferation and differentiation; however, little is known about their roles in myogenic differentiation. Our synchronized differentiation studies demonstrate that myoblast proliferation and subsequent myotube formation by cell fusion occur in circadian manners. We found that one of the core regulators of circadian rhythms Cry2, but not Cry1, is critical for the circadian patterns of these two critical steps in myogenic differentiation. This is achieved through the specific interaction between Cry2 and Bclaf1, which stabilizes mRNAs encoding cyclin D1, a G1/S phase transition regulator, and Tmem176b, a transmembrane regulator for myogenic cell fusion. Myoblasts lacking Cry2 display premature cell cycle exit and form short myotubes due to inefficient cell fusion. Consistently, muscle regeneration is impaired in Cry2-/- mice. Bclaf1 knockdown recapitulated the phenotypes of Cry2 knockdown: early cell cycle exit and inefficient cell fusion. This study uncovers a post-transcriptional regulation of myogenic differentiation by circadian rhythms. Overall design: mRNA profiles of Cry1 knockdown, Cry2 knockdown and control C2C12 cells at d0, d3 and d5 were generated by using Illumina HiSeq2500.
