Description
We report the application of single-cell and bulk RNA sequencing technology to examine the noncoding transcriptome of cells undergoing reprogramming to the pluripotent state. Overall design: Examination of noncoding RNAs in reprogrammming cells. We examined iPS cells grown in standard ES cell culture conditions, as well as iPS cells grown in "2i" conditions (small molecule inhibition of Mek and Gsk3). We also compared our iPS samples to male and female ES cells (mES, fES).

Description
To better understand the scale of gene expression changes that occur during the formation of mature adipocytes from preadipocytes, we compared and characterised the transcriptome profile of mesenchymal stromal cells derived from human adipose tissue, otherwise known as adipose-derived stromal cells (ASCs), undergoing adipocyte differentiation on day 1, 7, 14 and 21 (representing the early to late stage process of adipogenesis). Microarray technique was systematically employed to study gene expression in adipose-derived stromal cells during adipogenic differentiation over a 21 day period to identify genes that are important in driving adipogenesis in humans.

Description
mRNA used for the analysis of these microarrays were previously analyzed for 34 genes by reverse transcription - polymerase chain reaction in Desai BJ et al., J.Orthop.Trauma 17: 689-698, 2003. These two data sets were subsequently studied to compare the results from these two different methods for mRNA quantitation. The comparison was publised in "Comparison of mRNA gene expression by RT-PCR and DNA microarray" by W. Etienne, M.H. Meyer, J. Peppers, and R.A. Meyer, Jr., BioTechniques 36 (4): 618-626, April 2004.

Description
Background: In human malaria, parasites of the genus Plasmodium elicit expansion of atypical memory B cells (atMBCs), which lack the classical markers CD21 and CD27. We have identified a putative population of analogous B cells in a murine model of infection with P. chabaudi, delineated by the marker FCRL5. We performed RNA-Seq on FCRL5+ and FCRL5- B cells sorted from infected mice, so as to characterize the transcriptional profile of these cells and permit comparison to atMBCs in humans. Results: FCRL5+ B cells were found to have distinct transcriptional profiles from FCRL5- B cells, with approximately 400 genes exhibiting significant differences between the two groups. Additionally, about 25% of these differentially expressed genes were also differentially expressed in human atMBCs versus classical MBCs, as previously described by Sullivan et al (PLoS Pathogens 2015). Conclusions: FCRL5+ class-switched B cells are a transcriptionally distinct subset arising in P. chabaudi infection, with transcriptional similarities to human atMBCs that develop in chronic malaria settings. Overall design: Class-switched B cells (IgM- IgD- CD19+) were isolated into FCRL5+ and FCRL5- populations by double-sorting from the blood of C57BL/6 adult female mice 21 days post-infection with Plasmodium chabaudi. Pools of ~1000 cells were isolated and processed for RNA sequencing. 5 biological replicates were analyzed for each sample type.

Description
Huntingtons disease (HD) is a devastating disease for which currently no therapy is available. It is a progressive autosomal dominant neurodegenerative disorder that is caused by a CAG repeat expansion in the HD gene, resulting in an expansion of polyglutamines at the N-terminal end of the encoded protein, designated huntingtin, and the accumulation of cytoplasmic and nuclear aggregates. Not only is there a loss of normal huntingtin function, upon expansion of the CAG repeat there is also a gain of toxic function of the huntingtin protein and this affects a wide range of cellular processes. To identify groups of genes that could play a role in the pathology of Huntingtons disease, we studied mRNA changes in an inducible PC12 model of Huntingtons disease before and after aggregates became visible. This is the first study to show the involvement Nrf2-responsive genes in the oxidative stress response in HD. Oxidative stress related transcripts were altered in expression suggesting a protective response in cells expressing mutant huntingtin at an early stage of cellular pathology. Furthermore, there was a down-regulation of catecholamine biosynthesis resulting in lower dopamine levels in culture. Our results further demonstrate an early impairment of transcription, the cytoskeleton, ion channels and receptors. Given the pathogenic impact of oxidative stress and neuroinflammation, the Nrf2-ARE signaling pathway is an attractive therapeutic target for neurodegenerative diseases.

Description
Using a transcriptomics approach we explored the mechanism(s) of synergy observed between CDKI-73 and fludarabine in primary CLL cells. The cytotoxic effects of CDKI-73 were associated with transcriptional inhibition of cdk9 target genes including MCL1 and XIAP. In contrast, fludarabine induced the transcription of these genes, an effect that was reversed by the combination of CDKI-73 and fludarabine.

A novel Cdk9 inhibitor preferentially targets tumor cells and synergizes with fludarabine.

Description
Hippo signaling is highly associated with activity in the stem cell compartment of many epithelial tissues. In this study, we examined if Hippo signaling inhibition (by inducing Yap expression) could convert differentiated cells into a progenitor like phenotype. Organoid cells derived from mouse livers under various conditions, wild-type, Yap ON (Plus Dox), and Yap ON then OFF (Minus Dox) was examined.

Description
Background – Epigenetic alterations are stable modifications to chromatin structure that occur in response to environmental cues such as hypoxia or altered nutrient delivery. DNA methylation is a well-established and dynamic DNA modification that contributes to the regulation of gene expression. In the current study, we test the hypothesize that ischemic heart failure is defined by a distinct signature of DNA methylation that corresponds with altered expression of genes involved in cardiac ventricular dysfunction. Methods and Results – Using a methylation array, we quantified genome-wide DNA methylation of endomyocardial samples acquired from patients with ischemic (n = 6) or non-ischemic (n = 5) heart failure. RNA-sequencing analysis was performed in the same samples to identify transcriptomic changes (Fold Change > 1.5, Q < 0.05, FPKM > 2) associated with differential methylation (|Percent Change| > 5%, p < 0.05). Of the promoter-associated CpG Islands, which are well-established regions of negative transcriptional regulation, we identified a signature of robust hypermethylation. The methylation changes linked to significantly decreased transcripts included key fatty acid metabolic regulators (e.g. KLF15, AGPAT9, APOA1, and MXD4). Among the few hypomethylated and induced genes was PFKFB3, which encodes for the rate-limiting enzyme of glycolysis. Gene set enrichment analysis identified TGFß as a nodal upstream regulator of the methylation changes, potentially supporting a role of DNA methylation in the increased fibrosis and apoptosis that accompanies ischemic heart failure. Conclusions – Our data identify that the DNA methylation signature recapitulates the pathologic hallmarks of ischemic heart failure. Furthermore, we show that differential DNA methylation of CpG islands within the promoter depict alterations in metabolic substrate utilization known to occur in ischemic heart failure, and may govern a return to the fetal-like metabolic program. Overall design: RNA Sequencing analysis of left ventricle samples in 11 subjects with end-stage heart failure.
