Affymetrix Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 Array (hgu133plus2)
Description
For more than a decade, microarrays have been a powerful and widely used tool to explore the transcriptome of biological systems. However, the amount of biological material from cell sorting or laser capture microdissection is much too small to perform microarray studies. To address this issue, RNA amplification methods have been developed to generate sufficient targets from picogram amounts of total RNA to perform microarray hybridisation. In this study, four commercial protocols for amplification of picograms amounts of input RNA for microarray expression profiling were evaluated and compared. The quantitative and qualitative performances of the methods were assessed. Microarrays were hybridised with the amplified targets and the amplification protocols were compared with respect to the quality of expression profiles, reproducibility within a concentration range of input RNA, and sensitivity.

Description
We used a mouse expressing three alleles 1) KitV558Delta/+ activating allele that develop GIST-like tumors in the cecum, 2) Etv1 flox/flox conditional knockout allele and 3) Rosa26-CreERT2 tamoxifen activated Cre allele. Mice were treated with either Tamoxifen (to delete Etv1) or corn oil (control). Cecal tumors were isolated for gene expression profiling by RNA-Seq. Overall design: Expression profile mouse cecal GIST tumor with or without Etv1 ablation was generated by RNA-Seq
Publication Title
Combined inhibition of MAP kinase and KIT signaling synergistically destabilizes ETV1 and suppresses GIST tumor growth.

Description
The FBXL10 protein (also known as KDM2B, JHDM1B, CXXC2, and NDY1) is bound to essentially all CpG-rich promoters in the mammalian genome. FBXL10 is expressed as two isoforms: FBXL10-1, a longer form that contains an N-terminal JmjC domain with C- terminal F-box, CXXC, PHD, RING, and leucine rich repeat (LRR) domains, and FBXL10-2, a shorter form that initiates at an alternative internal exon and which lacks the JmjC domain but retains the other domains. Selective deletion of Fbxl10-1 had been reported to produce a minor and variable phenotype, and most mutant animals were essentially normal. We show here that deletion of Fbxl10-2 (in a manner that does not perturb expression of Fbxl10-1) resulted in a very different phenotype with craniofacial abnormalities, greatly increased lethality, and female sterility in surviving homozygous mutants. The phenotype of the Fbxl10-2 deletion was more severe in female mutants. We found that mutants that lacked both FBXL10-1 and -2 showed embryonic lethality and even more extreme sexual dimorphism, with more severe gene dysregulation in mutant female embryos. X-linked genes were most severely dysregulated, and there was marked overexpression of Xist in mutant females although genes that encode factors that bind to Xist RNA were globally down-regulated in mutant female as compared to male embryos. FBXL10 is the first factor shown to be required both for the normal expression and function of the Xist gene. Overall design: Expression analysis using RNA-seq was performed on WT and Fbxl10T/T male and female embryos.

Description
Overexpression of high mobility group AT-hook 2 (HMGA2) associated with truncations of its 3 untranslated region (UTR) with let-7 micro RNA-complementary sequences have been identified in patients with paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH). Here, we generated transgenic mice (Hmga2 mice) with a 3UTR-trncated Hmga2 cDNA that overexpress Hmga2 mRNA and protein in hematopoietic organs. Hmga2 mice showed proliferative hematopoiesis that mimicked a myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN)-like phenotype with increased numbers of all lineages of peripheral blood cells, hypercellular bone marrow (BM), splenomegaly with extramedullary erythropoiesis, and erythropoietin-independent erythroid colony formation compared to wild-type mice. Hmga2 BM-derived cells took over most of hematopoiesis in competitive repopulations during serial BM transplants. When we bred mice with circulating PNH cells (Piga- mice) with Hmga2 mice, the lack of GPI-linked proteins did not add an additional clonal advantage to the Hmga2+ cells. In summary, our results showed that the overexpression of a 3UTR-truncated Hmga2 leads to a proliferative hematopoiesis with clonal advantage, which may explain clonal expansion in PNH or MPN at the level of HSC.

Description
We report RNA-sequencing data of 80 tumor-educated blood platelet (TEP) samples isolated from 39 patients with lower-grade glioma (LGG) and 41 healthy donors (HD). This dataset can be employed as input for the thromboSeq source code (available via GitHub: https://github.com/MyronBest/) to reproduce the thromboSeq drylab pipeline. Overall design: Blood platelets were isolated from whole blood in purple-cap BD Vacutainers containing EDTA anti-coagulant by standard centrifugation. Total RNA was extracted from the platelet pellet, subjected to cDNA synthesis and SMARTer amplification, fragmented by Covaris shearing, and prepared for sequencing using the Truseq Nano DNA Sample Preparation Kit. Subsequently, pooled sample libraries were sequenced on the Illumina Hiseq 2500 platform. All steps were quality-controlled using Bioanalyzer 2100 with RNA 6000 Picochip, DNA 7500 and DNA High Sensitivity chips measurements. For further downstream analyses, reads were quality-controlled using Trimmomatic, mapped to the humane reference genome using STAR, and intron-spanning reads were summarized using HTSeq.
