View SamplesWe used high throughput sequencing to analyze the transcriptional profiling of EVT. By comparing the transcriptional profiling of EVT with or without H19 knockdown, numerous genes showed significantly altered expression as a result of H19 repression. Overall design: HTR cells were transfected with either control siRNA or siH19. 48h later after transfection, total RNA was extracted for library preparation and RNA-seq analysis to compare trancript profiles between siCon and siH19 cells.

Krüppel-like factor 4 (KLF4) inactivation in chronic lymphocytic leukemia correlates with promoter DNA-methylation and can be reversed by inhibition of NOTCH signaling.

View SamplesWhole genome sequencing revealed CLL as a disease of the genome and epigenome defined by somatic mutations and aberrant DNA-methylation. To uncover the impact of aberrant methylation on transcription, gene expression and methylation array profiling was performed in CLL and B-cells. RNA from 13 CLL patients and 6 healthy donor samples was analyzed on expression arrays.

View SamplesPilocytic astrocytomas (PA) are the most common brain tumor in pediatric patients and can cause significant morbidity, including chronic neurological deficiencies. They are characterized by activating alterations in the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway, but little else is known about their development. To further define their molecular development, we analysed the global DNA methylation profiles of 61 PAs and 6 normal cerebellum samples and integrated this data with transcriptome profiling. These data revealed two subgroups of PA that separate according to tumor location (infratentorial versus supratentorial), and identified key neural developmental genes that are differentially methylated between the two groups. Significant expression differences were identified for the majority of differentially methylated genes, and these were unexpectedly associated with a strong positive correlation between methylation and expression. We also identified a large number of differentially methylated/expressed genes between cerebellar PAs and normal cerebellum, which included additional developmental genes.

View SamplesTuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC) is a disease caused by autosomal dominant mutations in the TSC1 or TSC2 genes, and is characterized by tumor susceptibility, brain lesions, seizures and behavioral impairments. The TSC1 and TSC2 genes encode proteins forming a complex (TSC), which is a major regulator and suppressor of mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) in complex 1 (mTORC1), a signaling complex that promotes cell growth and proliferation. TSC1/2 loss of heterozygosity (LOH) and the subsequent complete loss of TSC regulatory activity in null cells causes mTORC1 dysregulation and TSC-associated brain lesions or other tissue tumors. However, it is not clear whether TSC1/2 heterozygous brain cells are abnormal and contribute to TSC neuropathology. To investigate this issue, we generated induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) from TSC patients and unaffected controls, and utilized these to obtain neural progenitor cells (NPCs) and differentiated neurons in vitro. These patient-derived TSC2 heterozygous NPCs were delayed in their ability to differentiate into neurons. Patient-derived progenitor cells also exhibited a modest activation of mTORC1 signaling downstream of TSC, and a marked attenuation of upstream PI3K/AKT signaling. We further show that pharmacologic AKT inhibition, but not mTORC1 inhibition, causes a neuronal differentiation delay, mimicking the patient phenotype. Together these data suggest that heterozygous TSC2 mutations disrupt neuronal development, potentially contributing to the disease neuropathology, and that this defect may result from dysregulated AKT signaling in neural progenitor cells. Overall design: Two replicates each of TSC#1 and CON#1 NPC cell RNA were prepared for sequencing library preparation and seqeuencing.
Neural progenitors derived from Tuberous Sclerosis Complex patients exhibit attenuated PI3K/AKT signaling and delayed neuronal differentiation.
