RNA-sequencing analysis was carried out on ascetic fluid-isolated mesothelial cells from ovarian cancer patients compared to control human peritoneal mesothelial cells to identify a mesothelial-mesenchymal gene signature. Overall design: Three control human peritoneal mesothelial cell samples isolated from omentum obtained from non-oncologic patients undergoing abdominal surgery and three ascitic fluid-isolated mesothelial cell samples obtained from the peritoneal effucsions of stage III/IV ovarian serous carcinoma patients
Mesothelial-to-mesenchymal transition as a possible therapeutic target in peritoneal metastasis of ovarian cancer.

Stress-independent activation of XBP1s and/or ATF6 reveals three functionally diverse ER proteostasis environments.

View SamplesThe unfolded protein response (UPR) maintains endoplasmic reticulum (ER) proteostasis through the activation of transcription factors such as XBP1s and ATF6. The functional consequences of these transcription factors for ER proteostasis remain poorly defined. Here, we describe methodology that enables orthogonal, small molecule-mediated activation of the UPR-associated transcription factors XBP1s and/or ATF6 in the same cell independent of stress. We employ transcriptomics and quantitative proteomics to evaluate ER proteostasis network remodeling owing to the XBP1s and/or ATF6 transcriptional programs. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the three ER proteostasis environments accessible by activating XBP1s and/or ATF6 differentially influence the folding, trafficking, and degradation of destabilized ER client proteins without globally affecting the endogenous proteome. Our data reveal how the ER proteostasis network is remodeled by the XBP1s and/or ATF6 transcriptional programs at the molecular level and demonstrate the potential for selectively restoring aberrant ER proteostasis of pathologic, destabilized proteins through arm-selective UPR-activation.

View SamplesWe generated primary cultures from renal cell carcinoma and matched normal primary kidney cortex tubule cell cultures from 3 patients. Early passage cultures of these two cell types were subjected to chromatin accessibility profiling (DNase-seq) and gene expression profiling (RNA-seq). Studying these paired and patient-matched controlled data sets will shed light on the epigenomic changes that underlie transformation of kidney tubules into malignant cancers. Overall design: Paired DNase-seq and RNA-seq data sets from 2 different primary human kidney cell types (normal and cancer) Note from submitter: The HIM23 samples have a more narrow consent and their raw data will be submitted to dbGaP.
