We report the RNAseq data obtained from 50.000-100.000 CD31-/CD45- pneumocytes isolated by FACS from mice harboring a normal dose or one extra copy of the Sirt1 gene, and a tamoxifen-inducible oncogenic KI alelle of KRasG12V after 4 weeks of tamoxifen treatment. Pneumocytes with the activated form of the inducible KRasG12V oncogene sere selected making use of the reporter gene LacZ (located next to the oncogene in the same polycistronic mRNA), by loading CD31-/CD45- pneumocytes with the LacZ-activated fuorogenic molecule FDG prior to FACS sorting. Overall design: Four replicates of each genetic group (Sirt1-WT and Sirt1-Tg) pneumocytes were used for this study. Sirt1-WT were used as reference controls.

View SamplesBackground: Gliomas are the most common type of primary brain tumours, and in this group glioblastomas (GBMs) are the higher-grade gliomas with fast progression and unfortunate prognosis. Two major aspects of glioma biology that contributes to its awful prognosis are the formation of new blood vessels through the process of angiogenesis and the invasion of glioma cells. Despite of advances, two-year survival for GBM patients with optimal therapy is less than 30%. Even in those patients with low-grade gliomas, that imply a moderately good prognosis, treatment is almost never curative. Recent studies have demonstrated the existence of a small fraction of glioma cells with characteristics of neural stem cells which are able to grow in vitro forming neurospheres and that can be isolated in vivo using surface markers such as CD133. The aim of this study was to define the molecular signature of GBM cells expressing CD133 in comparison with non expressing CD133 cells. This molecular classification could lead to the finding of new potential therapeutic targets for the rationale treatment of high grade GBM.
Molecular analysis of ex-vivo CD133+ GBM cells revealed a common invasive and angiogenic profile but different proliferative signatures among high grade gliomas.

View SamplesMechanical forces are essential for normal fetal lung development. However, the cellular and molecular mechanisms regulating this process remain largely unknown. In the present study, we used oligonucleotide microarray technology to investigate gene expression profile in cultured E19 rat fetal lung type II epithelial cells exposed to a level of mechanical strain similar to that observed in utero. Significance Analysis of Microarrays (SAM) identified 92 genes differentially expressed by strain. Interestingly, several members of the solute carrier family of amino acid transporters, genes involved in amino acid synthesis and development, and amiloride-sensitive epithelial sodium channel gene were induced by strain. These results were confirmed by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Thus, this study identifies genes induced by strain that may be important for amino acid signaling pathways, protein synthesis and development in fetal type II cells. In addition, these data suggest that mechanical forces may contribute to facilitate lung fluid reabsorption in preparation for birth. Taken together, the present investigation provides further insights into how mechanical forces may modulate fetal lung development.

View SamplesLong noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been implicated in numerous cellular processes including brain development. Yet the in vivo expression dynamics and molecular pathways regulated by these molecules are less well understood. Here, we leveraged a cohort of 13 lncRNA null-mutant mouse models to investigate the spatio-temporal expression of lncRNAs in the developing and adult brain. We observed a wide range of different spatio-temporal expression profiles in the brain. Several lncRNAs are differentially expressed both in time and space, and others present highly restricted expression in only selected brain regions. We further explore the consequent transcriptome alterations after loss of these lncRNA loci, and demonstrate altered regulation of a large variety of cellular pathways and processes. We further found that 6/13 lncRNA null-mutant strains significantly affect the expression of several neighboring protein-coding genes, in a cis-like manner. This resource provides insight into the expression patterns and potential effect of lncRNA loci in the developing and adult mammalian brain, and allows future examination of the specific functional relevance of these genes in neural development, brain function, and disease. We have sequenced wildtype and mutant whole brains from a cohort of 13 lncRNA knockout mouse strains at two developmetal timepoints (E14.5 and adult). Overall design: Comparison between wildtype and mutant whole brains transcriptomes in 13 lncRNA mutant strains at two different timepoints. Please note that for each knockout strain there are KO_E14.5 and KO_Adult samples, however for WT, each KO strain was compared to a cohort of 14 WTs (N3 background) and 3 WTs (N2.5 background) at either Adult or E14.5 timepoint. So in total there are 14 WT_Adult and 14 WT_E14.5 and in each differential analysis the 2 or 3 KOs (in N3 background) were compared to this entire cohort at the respective timepoint; a cohort of 3 WT_adult (N2.5) or 3 WT_E14.5 samples compared to other N2.5 KO samples at the respective timepoint. Thus, each processed data file was generated by comparing each KO strain to a cohort of WTs (at either Adult or E14.5 timepoint; ko_vs_WT_Adult or ko_vs_WT_embryonic). The mouse strain (background) used in these experiments a cross between 129 and C57BL/6 in the third generation (N3) of breeding in the C57BL/6 line, with the exception of the KANTR mice, which are N2.5.

View SamplesVariant FhlA133 (Q11H, L14V, Y177F, K245R, M288K, and I342F) had eight- fold higher hydrogen production than FhlA wild-type under 30 min of anaerobic incubation in modified-complex 20 mM formate at 37C. The mechanism by which the FhlA133 mutations increase hydrogen production is by increasing the transcription of all of the genes activated by the native FhlA (FHL complex).

View SamplesMechanosensory hair cells (HCs) are the primary receptors of our senses of hearing and balance. However, very little is known about the transcriptional regulators involved in HC fate determination and differentiation. In this paper, we show that expression of three HC lineage-specific transcription factors: Gfi1, Pou4f3 and Atoh1, can induce a direct commitment towards HC fate during in vitro embryonic stem cell (ESC) differentiation. Induced HCs (iHCs) express numerous HC-specific genes and exhibit polarized membrane protusions reminiscent of stereociliary bundles.

View SamplesA number of studies find that metastasis suppressor proteins, including RhoGDI2, may function in part though controlling expression of genes regulating metastasis (reviewed in Smith and Theodorescu, Nature Reviews Cancer, 2009, PMID: 19242414). To uncover systematically gene expression patterns dependent on RhoGDI2 expression, we profiled gene expression in stably transfected control (GFP empty vector) UM-UC-3 bladder carcinoma cells (which have lost endogenous expression of RhoGDI2, as occurs commonly in the progression of bladder cancer PMID: 15173088), as well as stably transfected GFP-tagged RhoGDI2 expressing UM-UC-3 cells.

View SamplesThe overall goal of this project is to investigate the role of TGF-beta signaling in regulating the cellular metabolism of cranial neural crest (CNC) cells during palate development. Here, we conducted gene expression profiling of primary mouse embryonic palatal mesenchymal (MEPM) cells from wild type mice as well as those with a neural crest specific conditional inactivation of the Tgfbr2 gene. The latter mice provide a model of cleft palate, which is among the most common congenital birth defects and observed in many syndromic conditions.
Modulation of lipid metabolic defects rescues cleft palate in Tgfbr2 mutant mice.
