This study aimed to generate a comprehensive analysis of changes in the transcriptome following MNV infection. Furthermore, we aimed to perform a differential gene expression analysis between MNV infection and loxoribine (tlr7 agonist) treatment to delineate features of the host modified directly by the MNV as opposed to indirect changes induced through IFN signalling. Overall design: Transcript expression profiles of RAW264.7 cells mock infected, infected with MNV (MOI 5) or treated with loxoribine (1 mM) for 12 hrs were generated using Illumina NextSeq500.

View SamplesThe transcriptome has an abundance of information about the function of individual cells, tissues and an organism in general. Characterising the transcriptome of virus infected cells can illuminate features of the viral-host relationship that are important for pathogenesis. This study broadly aimed to quantify the host gene expression changes that occur following MNV infection. Furthermore, we aimed to identify alterations in specific biological pathways by identifying alterations in transcript abundance that increase or decrease in intensity with MNV infection over time. Overall design: Transcript expression profiles of RAW264.7 cells mock infected or infected with MNV for 4, 8, 12, 16 and 20 hours (MOI 5) were generated by RNA-sequencing using Illumina NextSeq500.

View SamplesMultiple myeloma (MM) evolves from highly prevalent premalignant condition termed Monoclonal Gammopathy of Undetermined Significance (MGUS). We report an MGUS-MM phenotype arising in transgenic mice with Emu-directed expression of the unfolded protein/ER stress response and plasma cell development spliced isoform factor XBP-1s. Emu-XBP-1s elicited elevated serum Ig and IL-6 levels, skin alterations and with advancing age, a significant proportion of Emu-xbp-1s transgenic mice develop features diagnostic of human MM including bone lytic lesions. Transcriptional profiles of Emu-xbp-1s B lymphoid and MM cells show aberrant expression of genes known to be dysregulated in human MM including Cyclin D1, MAF, MAFB, and APRIL. This genetic model coupled with documented frequent XBP-1s overexpression in human MM serve to implicate chronic XBP-1s dysregulation in the development of this common and lethal malignancy.

View SamplesPurpose and Experimental Design: The purpose of this study is to find a methylation-related gene that could become a biomarker or therapeutic target in colorectal carcinoma (CRC). We screened candidate genes suspected to be silenced by DNA methylation using oligonucleotide microarray analysis. To investigate the clinical significance of one candidate gene (UNC5B), we analyzed the correlation between mRNA expression and clinicopathological features using clinical tissue samples. Finally, methylation specific PCR analysis was performed to reveal whether the promoter region was methylated in CRC cell lines. Results: We found 75 candidate genes that were potentially suppressed by DNA methylation in CRC. We focused on UNC5B, a possible tumor suppressor gene and regulator of apoptosis known to be inactivated in CRC. The mRNA expression analysis using tissue samples revealed that UNC5B mRNA was down-expressed in about 20% of CRC patients, and the patients with low-UNC5B-expression tumors showed a significantly higher recurrence rate after curative surgery. According to the univariate and multivariate analysis, low UNC5B expression was an independent risk factor for postoperative recurrence in stage I, II, and III CRC patients. Furthermore, patients with low expression of UNC5B in tumors had significantly poorer prognosis than those with high expression of UNC5B. Although UNC5B mRNA expression was restored by the demethylation treatment in CRC cell lines, the promoter region of UNC5B was not methylated. Conclusion: UNC5B is a potential biomarker for the selection of patients with high risk of postoperative recurrence and worse prognosis in CRC.

To investigate the molecular mechanism of leukemic transformation in LT-HSCs conditionally expressing MLL-ENL, we preliminarily performed comprehensive gene expression profiling of CreER-transduced LT-HSCs and ST-HSCs using cDNA microarray analysis.

View SamplesRibosome assembly in eukaryotes involves the activity of hundreds of assembly factors that direct the hierarchical assembly of ribosomal proteins and numerous ribosomal RNA folding steps. However, detailed insights into the function of assembly factors and ribosomal RNA folding events are lacking. To address this, we have developed ChemModSeq, a method that combines structure probing, high throughput sequencing and statistical modeling, to quantitatively measure RNA structural rearrangements during the assembly of macromolecular complexes. By applying ChemModSeq to purified 40S assembly intermediates we obtained nucleotide-resolution maps of ribosomal RNA flexibility revealing structurally distinct assembly intermediates and mechanistic insights into assembly dynamics not readily observed in cryo-electron microscopy reconstructions. We show that RNA restructuring events coincide with the release of assembly factors and predict that completion of the head domain is required before the Rio1 kinase enters the assembly pathway. Collectively, our results suggest that 40S assembly factors regulate the timely incorporation of ribosomal proteins by delaying specific folding steps in the 3’ major domain of the 20S pre-ribosomal RNA. Overall design: Three datasets of yeast ribosomal samples subjected to different chemical modifications; 1M7 dataset contains 8 different modified samples and 2 control samples; NAI dataset contains 3 different modified samples and 2 control samples; DMS dataset contains 1 modified sample and 1 control sample. Each sample consists of at least two replicates.
