Description
Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) formed capillary structures when co-cultured with normal human dermal fibroblasts (NHDFs). HUVEC competence and NHDF supportiveness of cord formation were found to be highly cell-passage dependent with the early passage cells forming more angiogenic cord structures. We thus profiled gene expression in NHDFs with different passages to understand the molecular mechanisms underlying the in vitro angiogenesis control.

Description
We report liver transcript profiling by RNA sequencing of Atp7b-/- and wild type mice at six weeks of age. Transcriptional network analysis of RNA-seq data reveals a highly interconnected network of transcriptional activators with over-representation of zinc-dependent and zinc-responsive transcription factors. Overall design: Wild type and Atp7b-/- Mice were maintained on strain C57BL x 129S6/SvEv. Housing was in shoebox cages and fed Mazuri Rodent diet (PMI Nutrition, Inc., Richmond, Indiana), containing 16 ppm Cu, 100 ppm Zn, and 235 ppm Fe and water ad libitum, with a 12-hour light/dark cycle. Six-week-old mice of both sexes were used for transcriptomic studies. Animals were sacrificed by carbon dioxide asphyxiation and liver tissue was harvested for RNA isolation. RNA sequencing was performed at the National Center for Genome Resources (NCGR) using the GAIIx platform. Average read quality was 38. An initial dataset was generated using two wild type and two Atp7b-/- samples with singleton 1x54 runs with 15,823,058; 8,149,631; 22,931,967 and 9,538,147 reads. A second paired end (2x54) dataset was generated to augment the initial singleton dataset with one wild type and one Atp7b-/- run resulting in 36,360,686 and 38,366,743 reads, respectively.

Description
Development of specialized cell types and structures in the vertebrate heart is regulated by spatially-restricted molecular pathways. Disruptions in these pathways can cause severe congenital cardiac malformations or functional defects. To better understand these pathways and how they regulate cardiac development and function we used tomo-seq, combining high-throughput RNA sequencing with tissue sectioning, to establish a genome-wide expression dataset with high spatial resolution for the developing zebrafish heart. Analysis of the dataset revealed over 1100 genes differentially expressed in sub-compartments. Pacemaker cells in the sinoatrial region induce heart contractions, but little is known about the mechanisms underlying their development and function. Using our transcriptome map, we identified spatially restricted Wnt/ß-catenin signaling activity in pacemaker cells, which was controlled by Islet-1 activity. Moreover, Wnt/ß-catenin signaling at a specific developmental stage in the myocardium controls heart rate by regulating pacemaker cellular response to parasympathetic stimuli. Thus, this high-resolution transcriptome map incorporating all cell types in the embryonic heart can expose spatially-restricted molecular pathways critical for specific cardiac functions. Overall design: To generate spatially-resolved RNA-seq data for the developing zebrafish hearts (2 days post fertilization), we cryosectioned 3 hearts, extracted RNA from the individual sections, amplified and barcoded mRNA using the CEL-seq protocol (Hashimshony et al., Cell Reports, 2012) with a few modifications. Libraries were sequenced on Illumina NextSeq using 75bp paired end sequencing. Sample Heart #1 is the primary sample. Heart #2 and #3 are biological replicates used for comparison.

Description
Wilson disease (WD) is a severe metabolic disorder caused by genetic inactivation of copper-transporting ATPase ATP7B. In WD, copper accumulates in several tissues, particularly in the liver, inducing marked time-dependent pathological changes. To identify initial events in the copper-dependent development of liver pathology we utilized the Atp7b-/- mice, an animal model for WD. Analysis of mRNA from livers of control and Atp7b-/- 6 weeks-old mice using oligonucleotide arrays revealed specific changes of the transcriptome at this stage of copper accumulation. Few messages (29 up-regulated and 46 down-regulated) change their abundance more than 2-fold pointing to the specific effect of copper on gene expression/mRNA stability. The gene ontology analysis revealed copper effects on distinct metabolic pathways.

High copper selectively alters lipid metabolism and cell cycle machinery in the mouse model of Wilson disease.

Description
Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a devastating disease affecting the skin and internal organs. Dermal fibrosis manifests early and Modified Rodnan Skin Scores (MRSS) correlate with disease progression. Transcriptomics of SSc skin biopsies suggest the role of the in vivo microenvironment in maintaining the pathological myofibroblasts. Therefore, defining the structural changes in dermal collagen in SSc patients could inform our understanding of fibrosis pathogenesis. Here, we report a method for quantitative whole-slide image analysis of dermal collagen from SSc patients, and our findings of more aligned dermal collagen bundles in diffuse cutaneous SSc (dcSSc) patients. Using the bleomycin-induced mouse model of SSc, we identified a distinct high dermal collagen bundle alignment gene signature, characterized by a concerted upregulation in cell migration, adhesion, and guidance pathways, and downregulation of spindle, replication, and cytokinesis pathways. Furthermore, increased bundle alignment induced a cell migration gene signature in fibroblasts in vitro, and these cells demonstrated increased directed migration on aligned ECM fibers that is dependent on expression of Arhgdib (Rho GDP-dissociation inhibitor 2). Our results indicate that increased cell migration is a cellular response to the increased collagen bundle alignment featured in fibrotic skin. Moreover, many of the cell migration genes identified in our study are shared with human SSc skin and may be new targets for therapeutic intervention. Overall design: For bleomycin experiments, 8 week old C57Bl/6 female mice were used.The bleomycin model was established with daily subcutaneous injections of bleomycin (100uL at 1U/mL) into the back skin. Experimental timepoints include: saline, 2 weeks bleo, 4 weeks bleo, 6 weeks recovery, and 10 weeks recovery.

Description
To obtain a genomic view of hepatocyte nuclear factor-4 (HNF-4) in the regulation of the inflammatory response, microarray analysis was used to probe the expression profile of an inflammatory response induced by cytokines in a model of knock-down HNF-4 HepG2 cells. The results indicate an extensive role for HNF-4 plays in the regulation of a large number of the liver-specific genes. Majority of genes (71%) affected by cytokine treatment are also affected by HNF-4 knock-down. This significant overlap suggests that HNF-4 may play a role in regulating the cytokine-induced inflammatory response.

Description
Primary murine fetal liver cells were freshly isolated from day e14.5 livers and then sorted for successive differentiation stages by Ter119 and CD71 surface expression (ranging from double-negative CFU-Es to Ter-119 positive enucleated erythrocytes) [Zhang, et al. Blood. 2003 Dec 1; 102(12):3938-46]. RNA isolated from each freshly isolated, stage-sorted population was reverse-transcribed, labelled, and then hybridized onto 3' oligo Affymetrix arrays. Important erythroid specific genes as well as the proteins that regulate them were elucidated through this profiling based on coexpression and differential expression patterns as well as by extracting specific GO categories of genes (such as DNA-binding proteins).
