View Samples1. To identify lncRNA regulating colorectal tumorigenesis, we performed RNA-seq analysis of cells with high and low tumorigenicity 2. To study the role of UPAT in colorectal cancer cells, we investigated the gene expression profiles of HCT116 cells in which UPAT expression had been suppressed by siRNA.

View SamplesRNA seq analyses were performed in granulosa cells (GCs) collected from gonadotropin treated ESR2 mutant rats. Data obtained from a null mutant with Esr2 exon 3 deletion (?3) and another DNA binding domain (DBD) mutant with exon 4 deletion (?4) were compared to that of wildtype (WT) rats. The raw data were analyzed using CLC genomics workbench. High quality RNA-sequencing reads were aligned to the Rattus norvegicus genome. Differentially expressed genes in ?3 or ?4 Esr2-mutant GCs were identified based on the following criteria: FDR p-Value =0.05 and an absolute fold change of 2. Fewer differentially expressed genes were identified in ?3 compared to the ?4 mutant group. As both of the mutant groups demonstrated a common phenotype of ovulation failure, differentially expressed genes common to both in ?3 and ?4 mutant rats were emphasized and further analyzed in the companion article “ESR2 regulates granulosa cell genes essential for follicle maturation and ovulation” (Khristi et al., 2018).

View SamplesMDA-MB-231 and T47D human breast cancer cells were chronically treated with the novel STAT3/5 inhibitor SH-4-54 for 60 and 30 days, respectively. Surviving treatment-resistant individual clones were isolated and characterized for their phosphorylated STAT3 and phosphorylated STAT5 status. 3 biological replicates of mRNA from a representative resistant clone derived from both MDA-MB-231 and T47D cells, in parallel with mRNA from their respective wild-type counterparts, was subjected to NextGeneration Sequencing to analyze changes in gene expression between untreated and resistant cells.

View SamplesDNA Topoisomerase I (Top1) relaxes DNA supercoiling and is inhibited with high specificity by camptothecin, a natural product of chinese tree Camptotheca acuminata with anticancer activity. Topoisomerase activity is required at transcribing regions to modulate DNA supercoils generated by RNA polymerases. However, Top1 functions at promoters and molecular responses to CPT are not fully understood. We found that camptothecin increases antisense RNA polymerase II transcripts at active divergent CpG-island promoters in a replication-independent manner. Kinetics investigations of the formation of Top1-DNA cleavage complexes and non-B DNA structures showed that CPT interferes with Top1 modulation of negative DNA supercoiling at promoters. The present findings will be a resource to establish the role of such antisense RNAs in transcription regulation and to discover additional components of the response pathway. Moreover, the transcriptional camptothecin effects can be the molecular basis of the therapeutic activity in cancer as well as neurological syndromes.

View SamplesHepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is primarily treated with a pegylated interferon alpha based therapy, a regime that induces antiviral effects through the upregulation of many interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs). Whilst a number of anti-HCV ISGs have previously been identified, others may also be involved.

View SamplesEstrogens are traditionally considered to be female sex steroid hormones and most of the studies examining estrogen regulation of metabolic function in the liver have been conducted in females. However, the liver expresses high levels of estrogen receptor alpha (ESR1) in both males and females, which mediates the hepatic response to estrogens. In this study, we investigated whether metabolic disorders in Esr1 knockout (Esr1-/-) male rats were linked with loss of transcriptional regulation by ESR1 in liver. To identify the ESR1 regulated genes in the mutant liver, RNA-sequencing was performed on liver RNAs purified from young male rats. The raw data were analyzed using the CLC Genomics Workbench and high-quality RNA-sequencing reads were aligned to the Rattus norvegicus genome. Transcriptome data obtained from Esr1-/- liver RNAs were compared to that of wild type rats. Based on an absolute fold change of 2 with a p-value = 0.05, a total of 618 differentially expressed genes were identified in the Esr1-/- male liver. Pathway analyses demonstrated that the majority of differentially expressed genes are regulators of carbohydrate and lipid metabolism in the liver.
