Mice carrying embryos that were either Pax6fl/fl;Emx1CreER (experimental group) or Pax6fl/+;Emx1CreER (control group) were given tamoxifen on embryonic day 9.5 (E9.5) to induce Pax6 deletion. Embryos were harvested on E13.5, the cerebral cortices were removed and divided into rostral and caudal halves, and total RNA was extracted. Samples from littermates of the same genotype were pooled. Poly-A mRNA was purified and TruSeq RNA-Seq libraries were prepared and sequenced (100 base paired-end; Illumina, HiSeq v3).

View SamplesHeparan sulphates (HS) are polysaccharides found on all animal cells whose function is regulated by sulphation. One of the roles of HS is to regulate cell signalling pathways which instruct gene expression. In this study we acquired transcriptomes of telencephalic midline tissue from wild-type embryos or mutant embryos lacking specific enzymes, Hs2st or Hs6st1, involved in the addition of sulphate to HS.

View SamplesThe dorsomedial part of the rostral telencephalon was dissected from E12.5 Emx1Cre;Gli3fl/+ (control) and Emx1Cre;Gli3fl/fl (mutant) mouse embryos. Tissue from three different embryos was pooled and RNA was used for RNAseq.

View SamplesEpigenetic alterations may provide important insights into gene-environment interaction in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Here we observe epigenome-wide DNA methylation differences in 240 newly-diagnosed IBD cases and 190 controls. These include 439 differentially methylated positions (DMPs) and 5 differentially methylated regions (DMRs), which we study in detail using whole genome bisulphite sequencing. We replicate the top DMP (RPS6KA2) and DMRs (VMP1, ITGB2, TXK) in an independent cohort.

View SamplesDietary energy restriction (DER) reduces risk of spontaneous mammary cancer in rodents. In humans, DER in premenopausal years seems to reduce risk of postmenopausal breast cancer. Markers of DER are required to develop acceptable DER regimens for breast cancer prevention. We therefore examined markers of DER in the breast, adipose tissue, and serum. Nineteen overweight or obese women at moderately increased risk of breast cancer (lifetime risk, 1 in 6 to 1 in 3) ages between 35 and 45 were randomly allocated to DER [liquid diet, 3,656 kJ/d (864 kcal/d); n = 10] or asked to continue their normal eating patterns (n = 9) for one menstrual cycle. Biopsies of the breast and abdominal fat were taken before and after the intervention. RNA was extracted from whole tissues and breast epithelium (by laser capture microdissection) and hybridized to Affymetrix GeneChips. Longitudinal plasma and urine samples were collected before and after intervention, and metabolic profiles were generated using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. DER was associated with significant reductions in weight [-7.0 (+/-2.3) kg] and in alterations of serum biomarkers of breast cancer risk (insulin, leptin, total and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and triglycerides). In both abdominal and breast tissues, as well as isolated breast epithelial cells, genes involved in glycolytic and lipid synthesis pathways (including stearoyl-CoA desaturase, fatty acid desaturase, and aldolase C) were significantly down-regulated. We conclude that reduced expressions of genes in the lipid metabolism and glycolytic pathways are detectable in breast tissue following DER, and these may represent targets for DER mimetics as effective chemoprophylactic agents
