Total RNA was isolated from proliferating and senescent IMR90 cells to compare gene-expression to the changes in nucleolus-association in proliferating and senescent IMR90 cells.
Nucleolus association of chromosomal domains is largely maintained in cellular senescence despite massive nuclear reorganisation.

View SamplesTreatment of acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) with all-trans-retinoic acid (ATRA) results in terminal differentiation of leukemic cells toward neutrophil granulocytes. Administration of ATRA leads to massive changes in gene expression, including down-regulation of cell proliferation-related genes and induction of genes involved in immune function. One of the most induced genes in APL NB4 cells is transglutaminase 2 (TG2). RNAi-mediated stable silencing of TG2 in NB4 cells (TG2-KD NB4) coupled with whole genome microarray analysis revealed that TG2 is involved in the expression of a large number of ATRA-regulated genes. The affected genes participate in granulocyte functions and their silencing lead to reduced adhesive, migratory and phagocytic capacity of neutrophils and less superoxide production. The expression of genes related to cell cycle control also changed, suggesting that TG2 regulates myeloid cell differentiation. CC chemokines CCL2, 3, 22, 24 and cytokines IL1B and IL8 involved in the development of differentiation syndrome (DS) are expressed at significantly lower levels in TG2-KD NB4 cells than in wild-type NB4 cells upon ATRA treatment. Based on our results, we propose that reduced expression of TG2 in differentiating APL cells may suppress effector functions of neutrophil granulocytes and attenuate the ATRA-induced inflammatory phenotype of DS.
Tissue transglutaminase contributes to the all-trans-retinoic acid-induced differentiation syndrome phenotype in the NB4 model of acute promyelocytic leukemia.

View SamplesUpstream Binding Factor (UBF) is a unique multi-HMGB-box protein first identified as a co-factor in RNA polymerase I (RPI/PolI) transcription. However, its poor DNA sequence selectivity and its ability to generate nucleosome-like nucleoprotein complexes suggest a more generalized role in chromatin structure. We previously showed that extensive depletion of UBF reduced the number of actively transcribed ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes, but had little effect on rRNA synthesis rates or cell proliferation, leaving open the question of its requirement for RPI transcription. Using conditional gene deletion in mouse, we now show that UBF is indeed essential for transcription of the rRNA genes.
Conditional inactivation of Upstream Binding Factor reveals its epigenetic functions and the existence of a somatic nucleolar precursor body.

View SamplesThe whole-genome oligonucleotide microarray analysis gives an opportunity for studying the unidentified gene expression background of the idiopathic and H.pylori related gastric erosive alterations. Using microarrays we compared the whole genome gene expression profile of HP+ and HP- gastric erosions and normal adjacent mucosa to explain the possible role and response to HP infection and to get morphology related mRNA expression patterns.
