Description
Schimke immuno-osseous dysplasia (SIOD) is a multisystemic disorder caused by biallelic mutations in SWI/SNF-related matrix associated actin-dependent regulator of chromatin, subfamily A-like protein 1 (SMARCAL1). Changes in gene expression appear to underlie the immunodeficiency and arteriosclerosis of SIOD; therefore, we hypothesized that SMARCAL1 deficiency alters renal gene expression to cause the focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) of SIOD, and that these gene expression alterations would be comparable to those observed in isolated FSGS. We tested this hypothesis by gene expression microarray analysis.

Description
Schimke immuno-osseous dysplasia (SIOD) is a multisystemic disorder caused by biallelic mutations in SWI/SNF-related matrix associated actin-dependent regulator of chromatin, subfamily A-like protein 1 (SMARCAL1). Changes in gene expression appear to underlie the immunodeficiency and arteriosclerosis of SIOD; therefore, we hypothesized that SMARCAL1 deficiency alters renal gene expression to cause the focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) of SIOD. We tested this hypothesis by transcriptome analysis and quantitative reverse transcription PCR (qRT-PCR) of an SIOD patient kidney, a genetic screen and immunofluorescence. These showed increased expression of genes in the Wnt and Notch signaling pathways in an SIOD patient kidney, interaction of Marcal1 with genes encoding components of the Wnt and Notch signaling pathways, and increased levels of unphosphorylated b-catenin and Notch1 intracellular domain (NICD) in the glomeruli of SIOD patient kidneys. Given that increased Wnt and Notch activity are established causes of FSGS, we hypothesize that SMARCAL1 deficiency increases the activity of one or both of these pathways to cause the renal disease of most SIOD patients. Overall design: Comparison of mRNA levels between the kidney tissue of a Schimke immuno-osseous dysplasia (SIOD) patient and an unaffected control

Description
We have reported previously that when chromosome Y (chrY) from the mouse strain C57BL/6J (abbreviated as B) was substituted for that of A/J mice (ChrY<A>), cardiomyocytes from the resulting 'chromosome substitution' C57BL/6J-chrY<A> strain (abbreviated as B.Y) were smaller than that of their C57BL/6J counterparts. In reverse, when chrY<A> from A/J mice was substituted for that of chrY<B>, cardiomyocytes from the resulting A/J-chrY<C57> strain were larger than in their A/J counterparts. We further used these strains (B and the consomic B.Y) to test whether the origin of chrY could also be linked to differences in the profile of gene expression in their cardiac left ventricles in adult mice where either sham surgery (intact animals) or castration has been performed at 3-4 weeks of age..

Description
Estrogen receptors (ERs), which mediate the proliferative action of estrogens in breast cancer cells, are ligand-dependent transcription factors that regulate expression of their primary target genes through several mechanisms. In addition to direct binding to cognate DNA sequences, ERs can be recruited to DNA through other transcription factors (tethering), or affect gene transcription through modulation of signaling cascades by non-genomic mechanisms of action. To better characterize the mechanisms of gene regulation by estrogens, we have identified more than 700 putative primary and more than 1500 putative secondary target genes of estradiol in MCF7 cells through microarray analysis performed in the presence or absence of the translation inhibitor cycloheximide.

Description
Bone-marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are plastic adherent cells that can differentiate into various tissue lineages, including osteoblasts, adipocytes and chondrocytes. However, this progenitor property is not shared by all cells within the MSC population. In addition, MSCs vary in their proliferation capacities and expression of markers. Because of heterogeneity of CD146 expression in the MSC population, we compared CD146-/Low and CD146High cells under clonal and non-clonal (sorted MSCs) conditions to determine whether this expression is associated with specific functions. CD146-/Low and CD146High MSCs did not differ in colony-forming unit-fibroblast number, osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation or in vitro hematopoietic supportive activity. However, CD146-/Low clones proliferated slightly but significantly faster than did CD146High clones. In addition, a strong expression of CD146 molecule was associated with a commitment towards a vascular smooth muscle cell lineage with upregulation of calponin-1 expression. Thus, within a bone-marrow MSC population, certain subpopulations characterized by high expression of CD146, are committed toward a vascular smooth muscle cell lineage.

Description
The paired-end next-generation sequencing of all small RNAs of less than 200 nucleotides in length from four different human cell lines (SKOV3ip1, MCF-7, BJ-Tielf, INOF) allowed us to determine the exact sequence(s) and variations of human box C/D snoRNAs (small nucleolar RNAs), revealing processing patterns of this class of molecules. Two distinct groups of box C/D snoRNAs were identified based on the position of their ends with respect to their characteristic boxes and the terminal base pairing potential. Short box C/D snoRNAs start sharply 4 or 5 nucleotides upstream of their box C and end 2 or 3 nucleotides downstream of their box D. In contrast, long box C/D snoRNAs start 5 or 6 nucleotides upstream of their box C and end 4 or 5 nucleotides downstream of their box D, increasing the likelihood of formation of a k-turn between their boxes C and D. Sequencing of SKOV3ip1 cells following the depletions of NOP58, a core box C/D snoRNA-binding protein and of RBFOX2, a splicing factor, shows that the short box C/D snoRNA forms are significantly more affected by the depletion of RBFOX2 while the long snoRNA forms, which display more canonical box C/D snoRNA features, are significantly more affected by the depletion of NOP58. Together the data suggest that box C/D snoRNAs are divided into at least two groups of RNA with distinct maturation and functional preferences. Overall design: Small RNAs (<200 nucleotides) were isolated from different human cell lines that were either untreated or depleted of NOP58 or RBFOX2 using specific siRNAs. The resulting libraries were multiplexed and paired-end sequenced using Illumina HiSeq.

Description
Metformin reduces the incidence of cancer in diabetics or in animal models. At the cellular level, the effects of metformin include the inhibition of complex I of the mitochondrial electron transport chain, a reduction in ATP levels and the activation of the energy sensor AMP kinase. Metformin also prevents the production of reactive oxygen species in primary human cells expressing oncogenic ras and the DNA damage associated to the process.

Description
Loss of KChIP2 during cardiac stress has been suggested to have a transcriptional impact on cardiac ion channels contributing to maladaptive electrical remodeling. Therefore, we tested the consequence of KChIP2 loss, in the absence of cardiac stress, by treating cultured neonatal rat ventricular myocytes with shRNA for KChIP2 and subsequently performed whole-transcriptome microarray analysis to identify gene changes.

Description
In this study we demonstrate that the lung mononuclear phagocyte system comprises three interstitial macrophages (IMs), as well as alveolar macrophages (AMs), dendritic cells and few extravascular monocytes. Through cell sorting and RNAseq analysis we were able to identify transcriptional similarities and differences between the three pulmonary IM subtypes, with reference to the more well-characterized alveolar macrophage Overall design: Pulmonary Interstitial and Alveolar macrophages were FACS sorted from the lungs of steady state 8-10 week old B6 mice, in triplicate. Extracted RNA was examined by RNAsequencing. The tar archive GSE94135_jakubzick_2019*tar available at the foot of this page contains the supplementary processed data used for comparisons with data in GSE132911. Data were processed as described in GSE132911.
