Setdb1 is one of the H3K9 methyltransferases and represses gene expression by H3K9 methylation. In an attempt to elucidate the role of Setdb1 in the TLR4-mediated inflammatory responses, we performed DNA microarray analysis using lipid A (the active component of LPS)-stimulated peritoneal macrophages from macrophage specific Setdb1 KO (KO) and WT mice.

View SamplesHere we harnessed the potential of RNA sequencing in 89 human pancreatic islet donors to identify genes and exons regulated in this relevant tissue for T2D. Overall design: mRNA profiles of 89 human pancreatic islet donors having different levels of blood glucose (HbA1c) with and without T2D. The data was generated by deep sequencing using Illumina HiSeq 2000.

View SamplesAlterations to corticostriatal glutamatergic function are early pathophysiological changes associated with Huntington?s disease (HD). The factors that regulate the maintenance of corticostriatal glutamatergic synapses post-developmentally are not well understood. Recently, the striatum-enriched transcription factor Foxp2 was implicated in the development of these synapses. Here we show that, in mice, overexpression of Foxp2 in the adult striatum of two models of HD leads to rescue of HD-associated behaviors, while knockdown of Foxp2 in wild-type mice leads to development of HD-associated behaviors. We note that Foxp2 encodes the longest polyglutamine repeat protein in the human reference genome, and we show that it can be sequestered into aggregates with polyglutamine-expanded mutant Huntingtin protein (mHTT). Foxp2 overexpression in HD model mice leads to altered expression of several genes associated with synaptic function, genes which present new targets for normalization of corticostriatal dysfunction in HD. Overall design: 4 mice per group of each: Con+Con, Con+Foxp2, BACHD+Con, BACHD+Foxp2 Foxp2 or Control virus was injected into BACHD and Control mice, mRNA was isolated and sequenced

View SamplesDevelopmental transitions can be described in terms of morphology and individual genes expression patterns, but also in terms of global transcriptional and epigenetic changes. Most of the large-scale studies of such transitions, however, have only been possible in synchronized cell culture systems. Here we generate a cell type specific transcriptome of an adult stem-cell lineage in the Arabidopsis leaf using RNA sequencing and microarrays. RNA profiles of stomatal entry, commitment, and differentiating cells, as well as of mature stomata and the entire aerial epidermis give a comprehensive view of the developmental progression.
Transcriptome dynamics of the stomatal lineage: birth, amplification, and termination of a self-renewing population.

View SamplesWe performed a phase I/II, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled dose-escalation study to examine the safety, immunogenicity, and biological effects of active immunization with interferon alpha-Kinoid (IFN-K) in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients. Women 18-50 years of age with mild to moderate SLE were immunized with three (n=10) or four doses (n=9) of 30, 60, 120, 240 microgram IFN-K or saline.

View SamplesNoncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) comprise an important class of natural regulators that mediate a vast array of biological processes, including the modulation of chromatin architecture. Moreover, artificial ncRNAs have revealed that the functional capabilities of RNA are extremely broad. To further investigate and harness these capabilities, we developed CRISPR-Display ("CRISP-Disp"), a targeted localization strategy that uses Cas9 to deploy large RNA cargos to specific DNA loci. We demonstrate that exogenous RNA domains can be functionally appended onto the CRISPR scaffold at multiple insertion points, allowing the construction of Cas9 complexes with RNAs nearing one kilobase in length, with structured RNAs, protein-binding cassettes, artificial aptamers and pools of random sequences. CRISP-Disp also allows the simultaneous multiplexing of disparate functions at multiple targets. We anticipate that this technology will provide a powerful method with which to ectopically localize functional RNAs and ribonuceloprotein complexes at specified genomic loci. Overall design: Whole cell poly(A) selected RNA seq, from HEK293FT cells bearing lentivirally-integrated Gaussia and Cypridina luciferase reporter loci. Cells were transiently transfected with dCas9~VP64 alone, or with dCas9~VP and one of several modified sgRNAs,each targeting the Gaussia reporter.
