We previously reported a pathogenic de novo W342 mutation in the transcriptional corepressor CtBP1 in four independent patients with neurodevelopmental disabilities. Here, we report the clinical phenotypes of seven additional individuals with the same recurrent de novo CtBP1 mutation. Within this cohort we identified consistent CtBP1-related phenotypes of intellectual disability, ataxia, hypotonia and tooth enamel defects present in all patients. The W342 mutation in CtBP1 is located within a region implicated in a high affinity-binding cleft for CtBP-interacting proteins. Unbiased proteomic analysis demonstrated reduced interaction of several chromatin modifying factors with the CtBP1 W342 mutant. Genome-wide transcriptome analysis in human glioblastoma cells lines expressing -CtBP1 R342 (wt) or W342 mutation revealed changes in the expression profiles of genes controlling multiple cellular processes. Patient-derived dermal fibroblasts were found to be more sensitive to apoptosis during acute glucose deprivation compared to controls. Glucose deprivation strongly activated the BH3-only pro-apoptotic gene NOXA, suggesting a link between enhanced cell death and NOXA expression in patient fibroblasts. Our results suggest that context-dependent relief of transcriptional repression of the CtBP1 mutant W342 allele may contribute to deregulation of apoptosis in target tissues of patients leading to neurodevelopmental phenotypes. Overall design: Total RNA samples were isolated from 3 different cultures of HTB17 cells that overexpressed CtBP1 wt or the pathogenic mutant, W342 and analyzed by high- throughput RNA sequencing.

View SamplesThe goal of the study was to compare gene expression of P0 wild-type and P0 Satb2-/- cortices. Total RNAs were isolated from P0 cortices dissected from wild-type and Satb2-/- mice (n=3 for each genotype), following Qiagen RNAeasy kit instruction.Sequence libraries were made following Illumina RNA TruSeq library preparation guide.The libaries were pair-end sequenced (50nt per end). Differentially expressed genes were identified by DESEQ. Overall design: Total RNAs were isolated from P0 cortices (3 control and 3 mutants), and sequenced on Illumina Genome Analyzer

View SamplesTo elucidate mechanisms of cancer progression, we generated inducible human neoplasia in 3-dimensionally intact epithelial tissue. Gene expression profiling of both epithelia and stroma at specific time points during tumor progression revealed sequential enrichment of genes mediating discrete biologic functions in each tissue compartment. A core cancer progression signature was distilled using the increased signaling specificity of downstream oncogene effectors and subjected to network modeling. Network topology predicted that tumor development depends upon specific ECM-interacting network hubs. Blockade of one such hub, the b1 integrin subunit, disrupted network gene expression and attenuated tumorigenesis in vivo. Thus, integrating network modeling and temporal gene expression analysis of inducible human neoplasia provides an approach to prioritize and characterize genes functioning in cancer progression.

View SamplesThe nematode Caenorhabditis elegans is an important model for studies of germ cell biology, including specification as sperm or oocyte, the meiotic cell cycle and gamete differentiation. Fundamental to those studies is a genome-level knowledge of the germline transcriptome. Here we use RNA-Seq to identify genes expressed in isolated XX gonads, which are roughly 95% germline and 5% somatic gonadal tissue. We generate data from mutants making either sperm [fem-3(q96)] or oocytes (fog-2), both grown at 22°C. Our dataset identifies a total of 10,754 mRNAs in the polyadenylated transcriptome of XX gonads, with 1,723 enriched in spermatogenic gonads, 2,869 enriched in oogenic gonads and the remaining 6,274 not enriched in either. These spermatogenic, oogenic and gender-neutral gene datasets compare well with those of earlier studies, but double the number of genes identified. We also query our RNA-Seq data for differential exon usage and find 351 mRNAs with sex-specific isoforms. We suggest that this new dataset will prove useful for studies focusing on C. elegans germ cell biology. Overall design: Comparison of spermatogenic vs oogenic transcriptomes

View SamplesSmall molecule inhibitors of JAK kinases have shown clinical effcacy in the treatment of certain autoimmune diseases. While these are known to block upstream JAK signalling events, their broader impact on the transcriptional footprint in immunocytes are unknown.
