We reprogrammed fibroblasts from 5 HLHS patients and 2 controls into iPSCs and differentiated into cardiomyocytes. By comparison of HLHS and control groups we uncovered the developmental, structural and functional defects of HLHS cells. Through high through-put screening, the underlying molecular mechnisms of HLHS ontology was explored. Overall design: Cardiomyocyte mRNA profiles of normal control and HLHS samples were generated by deep sequencing, in duplicate, using Illumina HiSeq4000.
Induced pluripotent stem cell modelling of HLHS underlines the contribution of dysfunctional NOTCH signalling to impaired cardiogenesis.

View SamplesAging is accompanied by physiological impairments, which, in insulin-responsive tissues, including the liver, predispose individuals to metabolic disease. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying these changes remain largely unknown. Here, we analyze genome-wide profiles of RNA and chromatin organization in the liver of young (3 months) and old (21 months) mice. Transcriptional changes suggest that de-repression of the nuclear receptors PPARa, PPAR?, and LXRa in aged mouse liver leads to activation of targets regulating lipid synthesis and storage, whereas age-dependent changes in nucleosome occupancy are associated with binding sites for both known regulators (forkhead factors and nuclear receptors) and for novel candidates associated with nuclear lamina (Hdac3 and Srf) implicated to govern metabolic function of aging liver. Winged-helix factor Foxa2 and nuclear receptor co-repressor Hdac3 exhibit reciprocal binding pattern at PPARa targets contributing to gene expression changes that lead to steatosis in aged liver.

View SamplesWe used the flu mutant of Arabidopsis to detail gene expression in response to singlet oxygen. The conditional flu mutant of Arabidopsis accumulates excess protochlorophyllide in the dark within chloroplast membranes that upon illumination acts as a photosensitizer and generates singlet oxygen. Immediately after the release of singlet oxygen mature flu plants stop growing, whereas seedlings bleach and die. Within the first 30 min after the release of singlet oxygen rapid changes in nuclear gene expression occur. Distinct sets of genes were activated that were different from those induced by other reactive oxygen species, superoxide or hydrogen peroxide.

View SamplesWe used microarrays to detail Arabidopsis gene expression in response to paraquat, a herbicide that acts as a terminal oxidant of photosystem I that in the light leads to the enhanced generation of superoxide and hydrogen peroxide inside plastids. Within a few hours after paraquat treatment changes in nuclear gene expression occur. Distinct sets of genes were activated that were different from those induced by another reactive oxygen species, singlet oxygen.

View SamplesWe introduced genome-wide pooled CRISPR-Cas9 libraries into primary mouse dendritic cells (DCs) to identify genes that control the induction of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) by bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS), a key process in the host response to pathogens, mediated by the TLR4 pathway. We found many of the known regulators of TLR4 signaling, as well as dozens of previously unknown candidates that we validated. Overall design: We used stain base phenotype (staining for TNF) in order to search for negative and positive regulators of LPS response in differentiated BMDCs

View SamplesIn order to understand the effect of genetic background on the response to gene dose perturbation, we performed mRNA transcriptional profiling on 99 hemizygotic lines (Df/+) from the DrosDel project, which have hybrid genetic background of OregonR/w1118. Overall design: We performed RNA-Seq analysis of 417 single adult flies in duplicate or triplicate. Flies are from 73 different genotypes. Differential gene expression was analyzed separately for each sex, gene expression from each genotype was compared to normalized mean of gene expression remaining 72 genotypes.

View SamplesWe performed mRNA transcriptional profiling on 99 hemizygotic lines (Df/+) from the DrosDel project covering 68% of chromosome 2L, in order to understand how changes in gene copy number affect overall transcriptome. Overall design: We performed RNA-Seq analysis on 396 pools of 15-25 adult flies each. Samples include males or females from 99 different genotypes in duplicate. Differential gene expression was analyzed separately for each sex, by comparing each genotype with the remaining 98.

View SamplesTo measure the response to gene dose, we performed mRNA-Seq of fly heads with molecularly defined deletions constructed from DrosDel deficiency lines (Ryder et al. Genetics 2007, 177(1):615-29) on the Illumina HiSeq 2000 platform. Overall design: We performed single-end next-generation sequencing (RNA-Seq) on poly-A+ RNA extracted from adult female and male heads in biological triplicate. Besides wildtype females (XX) and males (XY) that were heterozygous for deletions, we also sequenced females that were transformed into males (XX males) by using mutations in the sex determination gene transformer-2 (tra2). The original lines with deletions, including 22 deletions on the chromosome X and 12 deletions on the chromosome 3L, were from the DrosDel project. The diploid controls without DrosDel deletions were derived from w1118 (the parental line of DrosDel stocks) or Oregon-R Strain. We sequenced a total of 249 samples.
