Bud endodormancy induction response of two genotypes (Seyval a hybrid white wine grape and V. riparia, PI588259 a native north american species) was compared under long (15h) and short (13h) photoperiod. Three separate replicates (5 plants/replicate) were treated to generate paradormant (LD) and same aged endodormancy-induced (SD) buds for transcriptomic, proteomic and metabolomic analysis. Potted, spur-pruned two to six-year-old vines were removed from cold storage (Seyval 3-19-07; V. riparia 3/26/07) and grown under a LD (15 h) at 25/20 + 3C day/night temperatures (D/N). When vines reached 12-15 nodes (3-25-07) they were randomized into LD or SD treatments with 25/20 + 3C D/N in climate controlled greenhouses with automated photoperiod system (VRE Greenhouse Systems). Three replications (5 vines/replication) were harvested between 5/07-6/07 and then again in 5/08-6/08 for a total of six replications. All treatments are repeated at the same time every year and harvested at the same time of day each year to minimize biological noise. At 1, 3, 7, 14, 21, 28 and 42 days of LD and SD treatment, buds were harvested from nodes 3 to 12 of each separate replicate, immediately frozen in liquid nitrogen, and placed at -80C for future RNA, protein and metabolite extraction. These time points encompass early reversible phases as well as key time points during transition to irreversible endodormancy development. After photoperiod treatments and bud harvests, all pruned vines were returned to LD and monitored for bud endodormancy. The endodormant vines were identified after 28 days and moved to cold storage. The nondormant vines were allowed to grow again and induced into dormancy at a later date.

View SamplesThe objective of the study was to compare the wound macs with corresponding macs derived from peripheral blood monocytes (MDMs). Wound site macrophage (wound macs were isolated from human subjects with chronic wounds. Matching blood monocyte derived macrophages (MDM) were obtained from same subjects. Transcriptome profiling (GeneChip, Affymetrix) was performed.The expression values of genes were normalized using global scaling approach.

View SamplesIn an effort to understand the mechanisms of acquired resistance to BRAF inhibitors, we isolated clones that acquired resistance to the BRAF inhibitor GSK2118436 derived from the A375 BRAF V600E mutant melanoma cell line. This resistance clones acquired mutations in NRAS and MEK1. One clones, 16R6-4, acquired two mutations in NRAS Q61K and A146T. Proliferation and western blot analyses demonstrated that these clones were insensitive to single agent GSK2118436 or GSK1120212 (an allosteric MEK inhibitor) but were sensitive to the combination of GSK2118436 and GSK1120212. To further characterize this combination, global transcriptomic analysis was performed in A375 and 16R6-4 after 24 hour treatment with GSK2118436, GSK1120212 or the combination of GSK2118436 and GSK1120212.

We hybridized cRNA derived from first leaves of barley green seedlings (as a control), as well as the same stage of seedling leaf from representative genotypes of wheat, oat, rice, maize, and sorghum. Ten to twenty seedlings for each species were harvested and pooled for RNA preparation, labeling, and hybridization. ****[PLEXdb(http://www.plexdb.org) has submitted this series at GEO on behalf of the original contributor, Rico Caldo.

View SamplesAdvances in sequencing-based genomic profiling present a new challenge of explaining how changes in DNA/RNA are translated into proteins linking genotypes to phenotypes. The developing erythroid cells require highly coordinated gene expression and metabolism, and serve as a unique model in dissecting regulatory events in development and disease. Here we compare the proteomic and transcriptomic changes in human hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells and lineage-committed erythroid progenitors, and uncover pathways related to mitochondrial biogenesis enhanced through post-transcriptional regulation. Two principal mitochondrial factors TFAM and PHB2 are tightly regulated at the protein level and indispensable for mitochondria and erythropoiesis. mTORC1 signaling is progressively enhanced to promote translation of mitochondrial proteins during erythroid specification. Genetic and pharmacological perturbation of mTORC1 or mitochondria impairs erythropoiesis. Our studies suggest a new mechanism for regulation of mitochondrial biogenesis through mTORC1-mediated protein translation, and may have direct relevance to the hematological defects associated with mitochondrial diseases and aging. Overall design: Transcriptional profiling in human primary fetal and adult CD34+ hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs) erythroid progenitor cells (ProEs) by RNA-seq analysis.

View SamplesAberrant activation of signaling pathways controlled in normal epithelial cells by the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) has been linked to cetuximab (a monoclonal antibody against EGFR) resistance in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). To infer relevant and specific pathway activation downstream of EGFR from gene expression in HNSCC, we generated gene expression signatures using immortalized keratinocytes (HaCaT) subjected to either ligand stimulation or pharmacological inhibition of the signaling intermediaries PI-3-Kinase and MEK or transfected with EGFR, RELA/p65, or HRASVal12. The gene expression patterns that distinguished the various HaCaT variants and conditions were inferred using the Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) matrix factorization algorithm Coordinated Gene Activity in Pattern Sets (CoGAPS). This approach inferred gene expression signatures with greater relevance to cell signaling pathway activation than the expression signatures inferred with standard linear models. Furthermore, the pathway signature generated using HaCaT-HRASVal12 further associated with the cetuximab treatment response in isogenic cetuximab-sensitive (UMSCC1) and -resistant (1CC8) cell lines. Our data suggest that the CoGAPS algorithm can generate gene expression signatures that are pertinent to downstream effects of receptor signaling pathway activation and potentially be useful in modeling resistance mechanisms to targeted therapies.
