View SamplesPurpose: The objective of this study was to determine cardiac transcriptional pathways regulated in response to 1.) hypothyroidism and re-establishment of a euthyroid state and 2.) Med13-dependent cardiac transcriptional pathways regulated in response to hypothyroidism and re-establishment of a euthyroid state Overall design: Methods: WT and Med13 cardiac-specific knockout mice (Med13cKO) were put on a normal chow or PTU diet at 8 weeks of age for a duration of 4 weeks. A third group was put on a PTU diet for 4 weeks followed by 3 daily injections of T3.

View SamplesRNA-seq transcriptome analysis identified an early requirement for zic2 in periocular neural crest as an activator of alx1, a transcription factor with essential roles in craniofacial and ocular morphogenesis in human and zebrafish Overall design: Embryos derived from a zic2aGBT133/+; zic2bUW1127/+ incross were sorted by presence or absence of coloboma. RNA was prepared from each individual embryo at ~ 25 hpf

View SamplesAlas2 gene encodes the rate-limiting enzyme in heme biosynthesis. CRISPR/Cas9-mediated ablation of two Alas2 intronic cis-elements strongly reduced GATA-1-induced Alas2 transcription, heme biosynthesis, and GATA-1 regulation of other vital constituents of the erythroid cell transcriptome. Bypassing Alas2 function in Alas2 cis-element-mutant (double mutant) cells by providing its catalytic product 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) rescued heme biosynthesis and the GATA-1-dependent genetic network. We discovered a GATA factor- and heme-dependent circuit that establishes the erythroid cell transcriptome. Overall design: G1E-ER-GATA-1 WT and double mutant cells were examined. Untreated WT, beta-estradiol-treated WT, beta-estradiol-treated double-mutant, and beta-estradiol/5-ALA-treated double-mutant cells were subjected to RNA-seq.

View SamplesThe transcriptomic profiling of psoriasis has led to an increased understanding of disease pathogenesis. Although microarray technologies have been instrumental in this regard, it is clear that these tools detect an incomplete set of DEGs. RNA-seq can be used to supplement these prior technologies. Here, the use of RNAseq methods substantially increased the number of psoriasis-related DEGs. Furthermore, DEGs that were uniquely identified by RNA-seq, but not in other published microarray studies, further supported the role of IL-17 and tumor necrosis factor-a synergy in psoriasis. Examination of one of these factors at the protein level confirmed that RNA-seq is a powerful tool that can be used to identify molecular factors present in psoriasis lesions, and may be useful in the identification of therapeutic targets that to our knowledge have not been reported previously. Further studies are in progress to determine the biological significance of DEGs uniquely discovered by RNA-seq. Overall design: To define the transcriptomic profile of psoriatic skin, three pairs of lesional and nonlesional skin biopsy specimens were taken from patients with untreated moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis.

View Samples-77-/- mice exhibited late embryonic lethality, anemia, and a constellation of phenotypes. -77 conferred a unique genetic network in myeloid progenitors, endowing progenitors with potential to produce diverse progeny. Overall design: E13.5 WT or -77-/- fetal liver cells were isolated and sorted for common myeloid progenitors (CMPs) defined by Lin-Sca- CD34+FcRlow, and subjected to RNA-sequencing

View SamplesSnt2 is a yeast chromatin-interacting protein whose function has not been well characterized, that was recently shown to associate with Ecm5 and the Rpd3 deacetylase. Using chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by high-throughput sequencing (ChIP-seq), we show that in response to H2O2, Snt2 and Ecm5 colocalize to promoters of genes involved in various aspects of the environmental stress response. By integrating these ChIP-seq results with expression analysis, we identify a key set of target genes that require Snt2 for proper expression after H2O2 stress. Finally, by mapping Snt2 and Ecm5 localization before and after rapamycin treatment, we identify a subset of H2O2-specific Snt2 and Ecm5 target promoters that are also targeted in response to rapamycin. Our results establish a function for Snt2 in regulating transcriptional changes in response to oxidative stress, and suggest Snt2 may have a role in additional stress pathways. Overall design: RNA-seq analysis to look at gene expression levels in wild-type, snt2 deletion, or ecm5 deletion strains before or 0.5 hours after treatment with H2O2 (final concentration 0.4 mM). This sequencing was done on biological triplicate samples.

View SamplesSamd14 was discovered as a novel GATA-2 target gene. Samd14 increased hematopoietic progenitor levels/activity, promoted signaling by a pathway instrumental for hematopoietic stem/progenitor cell regulation (Stem Cell Factor/c-Kit), and c-Kit rescued Samd14 loss-of-function phenotypes Overall design: A control shRNA or an shRNA targeting Samd14 was retrovirally introduced to fetal liver ex vivo cultures. Progenitor cells (CD71-, Ter119-) were isolated and analyzed from these cultures
