With the goal of specifically dissecting the toxicogenomic signatures of the helper-dependent (HD) human (HAd5) and canine (CAV-2) adenovirus, the VSV-G-pseudotyped SIN HIV-1 (LV) and the Adenoviral-associated vector 2/9 for human neurons (AAV2/9), we transduced a bona fide human neuronal system with HD-HAd5, HD-CAV-2, LV and AAV2/9, we analysed the transcriptional response of more than 47,000 transcripts using gene chips.

View SamplesToca 511 is a modified Retroviral Replicating Vector based on Moloney g-retrovirus with an amphotropic envelope. As an investigational cancer treatment, Toca 511 preferentially infects cancer cells without direct cell lysis and encodes an enhanced yeast cytosine deaminase that converts the antifungal drug 5-fluorocytosine to the anticancer drug, 5-fluorouracil. A panel of established human cancers cell lines, derived from glioblastoma, colon, and breast cancer tissue was used to evaluate parameters critical for effective anticancer activity. As part of these analyses, we profiled relative mRNA levels across these cell lines via RNA sequencing. Overall design: mRNA expression profiles across nine human cancer cell lines.

View SamplesAIRmax and AIRmin mouse lines show a differential lung inflammatory response and differential lung tumor susceptibility after urethane treatment, thus constituting a good genetic model to investigate differences in gene expression profiles related to inflammatory response and lung tumor susceptibility. The transcript profile of ~24,000 known genes was analyzed in normal lung tissue of untreated and urethane-treated AIRmax and AIRmin mice. In lungs of untreated mice, inflammation associated genes involved in pathways such as leukocyte transendothelial migration, cell adhesion and tight junctions were differentially expressed in AIRmax versus AIRmin mice. Moreover, gene expression levels differed significantly in urethane-treated mice even at 21 days after treatment. In AIRmin mice, modulation of expression of genes involved in pathways associated with inflammatory response paralleled the previously observed persistent infiltration of inflammatory cells in the lung of these mice. In conclusion, a specific gene expression profile in normal lung tissue is associated with mouse line susceptibility or resistance to lung tumorigenesis and with different inflammatory response, and urethane treatment causes a long-lasting alteration of the lung gene expression profile that correlates with persistent inflammatory response of AIRmin mice.
Transcriptome of normal lung distinguishes mouse lines with different susceptibility to inflammation and to lung tumorigenesis.

View SamplesPurpose: DNA methyltransferase 3A (DNMT3A) mediates de novo DNA methylation. Mutations in DNMT3A are associated with hematological malignancies, most frequently acute myeloid leukemia. DNMT3A mutations are hypothesized to establish a pre-leukemic state, rendering cells vulnerable to secondary oncogenic mutations and malignant transformation. However, the mechanisms by which DNMT3A mutations contribute to leukemogenesis are not well-defined. Methods: mRNA profiles of wild-type (WT) and DNMT3A mutated k562 cell lines were generated by deep sequencing, using Illumina HiSeq2500. Sequence reads were trimmed to remove possible adapter sequences and nucleotides with poor quality at the ends. Remaining sequence reads were then aligned to the human reference genome (hg19) using Tophat2. Gene read counts were measured using FeatureCounts and FPKM values were calculated with cufflinks. edgeR was used to identify differentially expressed genes between conditions, and topGO was used for annotation (Alexa, Rahnenfuhrer, and Lengauer, 2006). Sample comparison for differential gene expression was as follows: WTblk and WT1 versus MT2, MT3, MT4, and MT5. Gene enrichment set analysis (GSEA) was conducted with KEGG, Biocarta, and Reactome pathway datasets (Subramanian et al., 2005). Results: DNMT3A-mutated cells displayed impaired differentiation capacity. RNA-seq was used to compare transcriptomes of DNMT3A-mutated and WT cells; DNMT3A ablation resulted in downregulation of genes involved in spliceosome function, causing dysfunction of RNA splicing. Unexpectedly, we observed DNMT3A-mutated cells to exhibit marked genomic instability and an impaired DNA damage response compared to WT. Conclusions: CRISPR/Cas9-mediated DNMT3A-mutated K562 cells may be used to model effects of DNMT3A mutations in human cells. Our findings implicate aberrant splicing and induction of genomic instability as potential mechanisms by which DNMT3A mutations might predispose to malignancy. Overall design: mRNA profiles of wild type (WT) and DNMT3A mutated K562 cell lines were generated by deep sequencing using Illumina HiSeq2500

View SamplesReactive oxygen species (ROS) are implicated in tumor transformation by modulating proteins involved in differentiation, proliferation and invasion. In order to identify genes that may support melanoma progression or regression after an antioxidant system (AOS) response, we developed and characterized a human melanoma cell model with different levels of ROS by stably overexpressing the antioxidant enzyme catalase in A375 amelanotic melanoma cells, and whole genome gene expression patterns were analyzed by microarrays.

View SamplesThese data represents a microgenomic approach to dissect the response of the plant steroid hormone, brassinosteroid, in the provascular tissue of the arabidopsis thaliana primary roots. We used two different provascular markers, wooden leg (WOL) and corona (ATHB15) to profile the provascular response to BRs. We used a timecourse analysis with 4 different timepoint; 0.5, 1, 2 and 4 hours treated with BRs in the WOL domain. Additional trasncriptomic responses of the ATHB15 domain were analyzed after 2 hours BRs treatment.
