To further understand the differences occurring in MCF10A cells as they polarize and differentiate in the Transwell model, we performed gene expression profiling with Affymetrix Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 Arrays. Four experimental time points, were sampled: conventional cultures of MCF10A cells grown on plastic (Monolayer) and MCF10A cells plated on Transwells sampled at three TEER values, 200-300 cm2 (Base), 1400-1600 cm2 (Midpoint), and 3000-3200 cm2 (Plateau).

View SamplesThe transcription factor MyoD can coax na?e fibroblasts or otherwise committed cells to adopt the skeletal muscle phenotype by activating the muscle gene expression program. Activation of muscle gene expression occurs in quantal steps with not all the target genes of MyoD being activated at the same time. Some genes are induced in the initial phases, others at later stages despite the fact that MyoD is present throughout the differentiation process. MyoD is post-translationally modified by phosphorylation, ubiquitination, and acetylation. Here, we have employed a model system in which MyoD and its non-acetylatable version were inducibly expressed in mouse embryonic fibroblasts derived from mice to investigate how MyoD acetylation may contribute to differential gene activation.
MyoD acetylation influences temporal patterns of skeletal muscle gene expression.

View SamplesPAX8-PPARG fusion protein (PPFP) results from a t(2;3)(q13;p25) chromosomal translocation, is found in 30% of follicular thyroid carcinomas, and demonstrates oncogenic capacity in transgenic mice. A PPARG ligand, pioglitazone, is highly therapeutic in mice with PPFP thyroid carcinoma. We used our previously characterized transgenic mouse model of PPFP thyroid carcinoma to identify PPFP binding sites in vivo using ChIP-seq, and to identify genes and pathways regulated by PPFP with and without pioglitazone treatment via integration with RNA-seq and Affymetrix microarray data. This submission contains the Affymetrix microarray data. PPFP and pioglitazone regulated genes involved in lipid and fatty acid metabolism, ribosome function, immune processes, cell death and other cancer-related processes. The RNA-seq data yielded similar findings.

View SamplesTemporal expression profiling was utilized to define transcriptional regulatory pathways in vivo in a mouse muscle regeneration model. Potential downstream targets of MyoD were identified by temporal expression, promoter data base mining, and gel shift assays; Slug and calpain 6 were identified as novel MyoD targets. Slug, a member of the snail/slug family of zinc finger transcriptional repressors critical for mesoderm/ectoderm development, was further shown to be a downstream target by using promoter/reporter constructs and demonstration of defective muscle regeneration in Slug null mice.

View SamplesThe integration of positive and negative intra- and extra-cellular signals dictates whether a cell will proliferate or differentiate. While it is intuitive to speculate that nutrients availability may influence this alternative, a comprehensive complement of the molecular determinants involved in this process has not been elucidated yet. In this study, we will investigate how nutrients (glucose) affect skeletal myogenesis. C2C12 cells will be cultured in high glucose and low glucose conditions, and their differenciation will be studied.
Glucose restriction inhibits skeletal myoblast differentiation by activating SIRT1 through AMPK-mediated regulation of Nampt.

View SamplesOncogenic human papillomaviruses (HPVs) are associated with nearly all carcinomas of the uterine cervix and have also become an increasingly important factor in the etiology of a subset of oropharyngeal tumors. HPV-associated head and neck cancers (HNSCCs) have a distinct risk profile and appreciate a prognostic advantage compared to HPV-negative HNSCC. We analyzed the genome-wide expression patterns in two HPV(+) and two HPV(-) squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) cell lines.
