Description
Our previous studies have revealed that treatment of pregnant rats with 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD, 1 g/kg) at gestational day (GD) 15 reduces the pituitary synthesis of luteinizing hormone (LH) during late fetal and early postnatal period, leading to imprinting of defects in sexual behaviors at adulthood. However, it remains obscure how the attenuation of pituitary LH links to sexual immaturity. To address this issue, we firstly performed a DNA microarray analysis to identify the gene(s) responsible for dioxin-induced sexual immaturity, using the pituitary and hypothalamus of male pups, at the age of postnatal day (PND)70, born from TCDD-treated dams. Among the reduced genes, we focused on gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) in the hypothalamus, because of its role in sexual behaviors suggested so far. The present study strongly suggests that maternal exposure to TCDD fixes the status of the lowered expression of GnRH in the offspring by reducing steroidogenesis at perinatal stage, and this is the mechanism for the imprinting of defects in sexual behaviors at adulthood.

Description
Asthma is a chronic inflammatory respiratory disease affecting over 300 million people around the world. Some asthma patients remain poorly controlled by conventional therapies and experience more life-threatening exacerbations. While patients with severe, refractory disease represent a heterogeneous group, a feature shared by most includes glucocorticoid insensitivity. We sought to characterize differences in the airway smooth muscle transcriptome response to glucocorticoids in fatal asthma vs. non-asthma donors. RNA-Seq was used to measure airway smooth muscle transcript expression differences between 9 donors with fatal asthma and 8 non-asthma donors. Cells from each donor were treated with budesonide or with vehicle control. Poly(A)-selected RNA-Seq libraries were prepared with the Illumina TruSeq method. An Illumina HiSeq 2500 instrument was used to generate 125 base pair paired-end reads. Overall design: Transcriptome profiles obtained via RNA-Seq for airway smooth muscle cells from 9 fatal asthma and 8 non-asthma donors treated with budesonide (100nM for 24h) or vehicle control were compared

Description
Appropriate bone mass is maintained by the actions of the main cells in the bone, osteoclasts and osteoblasts. The Stat3 transcription factor is known to have an effect on maintaining bone mass, but it is not known whether its key actions are in osteoblasts, osteoclasts, or both. Preliminary data indicated that Stat3 plays a role in osteoclast differentiation, but the mechanisms of this role are not yet understood.
Publication Title
The loss of STAT3 in mature osteoclasts has detrimental effects on bone structure.

Description
Rationale: Asthma is a chronic inflammatory airway disease. Children with severe asthma have lower levels of vitamin D than children with moderate asthma, and among children with severe asthma, airway smooth muscle (ASM) mass is inversely related to vitamin D levels. Beta2 agonists are a common asthma medication that act partly by targetting the ASM. We used RNA-Seq to characterize the human ASM transcriptome of fatal and asthma vs. contols at baseline and under two treatment conditions. Methods: The Illumina TruSeq assay was used to prepare 75bp paired-end libraries for ASM cells from white donors, 6 with fatal asthma and 12 control donors under three treatment conditions: 1) no treatment; 2) treatment with a ß2-agonist (i.e. Albuterol, 1µM for 18h); 3) treatment with vitamin D 100 nM for 18h). Llibraries were sequenced with an Illumina Hi-Seq 2000 instrument. The Tuxedo Suite Tools were used to align reads to the hg19 reference genome, assemble transcripts, and perform differential expression analysis using the protocol described in https://github.com/blancahimes/taffeta Overall design: mRNA profiles obtained via RNA-Seq for primary human airway smooth muscle cell lines from fatal asthma or control donors that were treated with vitamin D, albuterol, or were left untreated.

The acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a highly lethal syndrome characterized by hypoxemia and bilateral lung infiltrates in response to an inciting event such as sepsis. Allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT) is a life-saving treatment for patients with hematologic malignancies that can be complicated by ARDS. We sought to identify blood gene expression signatures that distinguish whether ARDS in BMT may be a distinct pathobiologic entity from ARDS in non-BMT patients. RNA-Seq was used to measure whole blood transcript expression differences between 26 patients meeting the Berlin definition of ARDS: 8 patients without BMT and 5 BMT patients with ARDS from the Brigham and Women's Registry of Critical Illness (RoCI), as well as 7 non-BMT patients with sepsis and 6 BMT patients with sepsis. RNA was globin cleared using the Ambion GLOBINclear kit prior to preparation of poly(A)-selected RNA-Seq libraries with the Illumina TruSeq method. An Illumina HiSeq 2500 instrument was used to generate 75 base pair paired-end reads, which were aligned to the hg38 reference genome using STAR. Differential expression analysis was performed using DESeq2. Overall design: mRNA profiles obtained via RNA-Seq for whole blood samples from ARDS patients with and without BMT

Description
KCL-22 is a chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) cell line derived from a patient in blast crisis phase and harbors the BCR-ABL translocation. The catalytic (ATP-competitive) BCR-ABL inhibitors imatinib and nilotinib have dramatically improved CML patient outcome, but the development of resistance remains a clinical challenge. The recent identification of allosteric BCR-ABL inhibitors, such as GNF-2, which target the enzyme by binding to the myristoyl pocket rather than catalytic site of ABL1, may provide a strategy to broadly overcome resistance to the class of ABL1 ATP competitive inhibitors. We therefore wanted to use the ClonTracer barcoding system to compare the clonal responses of KCL-22 to imatinib, nilotinib and GNF-2. RNA-seq was employed to characterize genetic alterations and gene expression signatures in the pooled cell populations resistant to BCR-ABL inhibitors as well as single clones showing differential response to the three inhibitors. Overall design: mRNA profiling of the subpopulations and single clones of human CML cell line KCL-22 that contribute to BCR-ABL inhibitor resistance

Description
The non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cell line HCC827 harbors an activating EGFR mutation (exon 19 deletion) that confers sensitivity to the FDA-approved EGFR inhibitor erlotinib. By applying the ClonTracer barcoding system, we were able to show the presence of pre-existing sub-populations in HCC827 that contribute to erlotinib resistance. Prior studies implicated that MET amplification confers resistance to erlotinib in this cell line. Therefore we examined the effects of the c-Met inhibitor crizotinib on the barcoded HCC827 population when treated either sequentially or simultaneously with both inhibitors. Despite the significant reduction in barcode complexity, the erlotinib/crizotinib combination treatment failed to eradicate all of the resistant clones implying the presence of an erlotinib/crizotinib dual resistant subpopulation. We performed transcriptome profiling (RNA-seq) to elucidate the potential resistance mechanisms of the dual resistant subpopulation in comparison to vehicle-treated or single agent erlotinib-resistant HCC827 cell populations as controls. Overall design: mRNA profiling of the subpopulations of human NSCLC cell line HCC827 that contribute to EGFR inhibitor erlotinib and MET inhibitor crizotinib resistance
