The use of statistical tools established for the genetic analysis of quantitative traits can be applied to gene expression data. Quantitative trait loci (QTL) analysis can associate expression of genes or groups of genes with particular genomic regions and thereby identify regions that play a role in the regulation of gene expression. A segregating population of 41 doubled haploid (DH) lines from the hard red spring wheat cross RL4452 x AC Domain was used. This population had previously been mapped with microsatellites and includes a full QTL analysis for agronomic and seed quality traits. Expression analysis from 5 day post anthesis developing seed was conducted on 39 of the 41 DH lines using the Affymetrix wheat array. Expression analysis of developing seeds from field grown material identified 1,327 sequences represented by Affymetrix probe sets whose expression varied significantly between genotypes of the population. A sub-set of 378 transcripts were identified that each mapped to a single chromosome interval illustrating that major expression QTLs can be found in wheat. Genomic regions corresponding to multiple expression QTLs were identified that were coincident with previous identified seed quality trait QTL. These regions may be important regulatory regions governing economically important traits. Comparison of expression mapping data with physical mapping for a sub-set of sequences showed that both cis and trans acting expression QTLs were present.

Of these 1,455 were identified in the point location as well.

View SamplesSeveral studies have described a crosstalk between the tumour cells of cHL, the Hodgkin- and Reed-Sternberg (HRS) cells, and cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAF). However, to date a deep molecular characterization of these fibroblasts is lacking. Aim of the present study therefore was a comprehensive characterization of these fibroblasts.

View SamplesPurpose: Tracheal epithelial brush cells are rare chemosensory cells defined by their expression of elements of the bitter taste transduction system, and known to activate the cholinergic nervous system in the murine lung. Similar chemosensory cells in the intestine can generate lipid mediators and pro-inflammatory cytokines but whether brush cell can contribute to airway inflammation is unknown. Furthermore, despite the advances in understanding chemosensory cell effector functions, the receptors that mediate chemosensory cell activation and expansion beyond taste receptors in any compartment remain largely unknown. Methods: In this study, we isolated tracheal brush cells by FACS from naïve ChATBAC-eGFP mice with knockin of eGFP within a BAC spanning the acetylcholine transferase locus, marking brush cells in the epithelium and performed transcriptome profiling using low input RNA sequencing. We compared tracheal brush cells to EpCAM+ epithelial cells and CD45+ hematopoetic cells in naive mice. Results: When compared to EpCAM+ EpCs and to CD45+ cells in the airway, principal component analysis demonstrated that brush cells grouped quite distinctly. This brush cell distinction relative to EpCAM+ cells, was further reflected in the striking number of highly differentially expressed genes. This included 1305 genes expressed at 4-fold or higher levels in EpCAM+eGFP+ cells (brush cells), of which 418 genes were expressed at 32-fold or higher levels in brush cells. Conclusions: Our study represents the first detailed analysis of the transcriptome of tracheal brush cells and identifies a unique set of genes that are primarily expressed in brush cells including the bitter taste transduction system, synthenic machinery for several pro-inflammatory lipid mediators and HoxA2 transciptional factors. Overall design: Examination of gene expression of tracheal brush cells (ChAT-eGFP), EpCAM+ (EpCAM) tracheal epithelial cell and CD45+ hematopoetic cells in naïve mice.

View SamplesPancreatic beta-cell dysfunction contributes to onset and progression of type 2 diabetes. In this state beta-cells become metabolically inflexible, losing the ability to select between carbohydrates and lipids as substrates for mitochondrial oxidation. These changes lead to beta-cell dedifferentiation. We have proposed that FoxO proteins are activated through deacetylation-dependent nuclear translocation to forestall the progression of these abnormalities. However, how deacetylated FoxO exert their actions remains unclear. To address this question, we analyzed islet function in mice homozygous for knock-in alleles encoding deacetylated FoxO1 (6KR). Islets expressing 6KR mutant FoxO1 have enhanced insulin secretion in vivo and ex vivo, and decreased fatty acid oxidation ex vivo. Remarkably, the gene expression signature associated with FoxO1 deacetylation differs from wild-type by only ~2% of the > 4,000 genes regulated in response to re-feeding. But this narrow swath includes key genes required for beta-cell identity, lipid metabolism, and mitochondrial fatty acid and solute transport. The data support the notion that deacetylated FoxO1 protects beta-cell function by limiting mitochondrial lipid utilization, and raise the possibility that inhibition of fatty acid oxidation in ß-cells is beneficial to diabetes treatment. Overall design: Examined 2 different feeding state and 2 different genotypes
FoxO1 Deacetylation Decreases Fatty Acid Oxidation in β-Cells and Sustains Insulin Secretion in Diabetes.

View SamplesAcute myeloid leukemia (AML) continues to have the lowest survival rates of all leukemias. Therefore, new therapeutic strategies are urgently needed to improve clinical outcomes for AML patients. Here, we report a novel role for Wilms’ tumor 1-associated protein (WTAP) in pathogenesis of AML. We have performed RNA-Seq in K562 cells with knockdown of WTAP to ascertain which genes it regulates. Overall design: We have 2 replicates of total RNA for K562 cells and 2 replicates with WTAP knocked down
WTAP is a novel oncogenic protein in acute myeloid leukemia.
