Description
Purpose: To investigate alterations in subcutaneous white adipose gene expression induced by genetic AMPK activation in vivo, in mice fed a chow or a high-fat diet. Methods: Subcutaneous white adipose tissue mRNA profiles of wild-type transgenic (WT-Tg) mice and mice expressing a gain-of-function AMPK mutant gamma1 subunit (D316A-Tg) were generated by deep sequencing. Results: RNA sequencing revealed over 3000 differentially expressed genes between WT-Tg and D316A-Tg subcutaneous white adipose tissue (WATsc) from mice fed a high fat diet (HFD), of which many were classified as 'skeletal muscle-associated'. Interestingly, uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1), associated with 'beige' adipocyte formation in WATsc, was not differentially expressed. On a chow diet, many differentially expressed genes were also identified, with gene ontology analysis identifiying glycolysis, TCA cycle and brown fat differentiation as highly enriched; key features of brown adipocyte identity. HFD-associated skeletal-muscle associated gene expression was either not significantly altered, or significantly down-regulated on a chow diet, indicating a diet-induced gene signature in D316A-Tg WATsc. Conclusions: Our study revealed gene signatures indicative of brown adipocyte development on a chow diet, where no overt metabolic phenotype was observed in gain-of-function animals. When fed a HFD, WATsc from D316A-Tg mice displayed a muscle-like gene signature, expressing key components of creatine and calcium thermogenic cycles including Ckmt2 (creatine kinase, mitochondrial 2) Atp2a1 (SERCA1-sarco/endoplasmic reticulum ATPase 1) and ryr1 (ryanodine receptor 1). UCP1 expression was not altered between WT-Tg and D316A-Tg mice fed a HFD. Our findings suggest a novel role for AMPK in the regulation of white adipocyte identity and a potentially novel cell population that, when metabolically challenged, preferrentially utilise muscle-like thermogenic futile cycles independent of UCP1 to mediate whole organism energy expenditure. Overall design: Whole subcutaneous white adipose tissue mRNA profiles were generated from mice fed either chow or 45% high-fat diet.

Description
Motivation: RNA-seq is replacing microarrays as the primary tool for gene expression studies. Many RNA-seq studies have used insufficient biological replicates, resulting in low statistical power and inefficient use of sequencing resources. Results: We show the explicit trade-off between more biological replicates and deeper sequencing in increasing power to detect differentially expressed (DE) genes. In the human cell line MCF-7, adding more sequencing depth after 10M reads gives diminishing returns on power to detect DE genes, while adding biological replicates improves power significantly regardless of sequencing depth. We also propose a cost-effectiveness metric for guiding the design of large scale RNA-seq DE studies. Our analysis showed that sequencing less reads and perform more biological replication is an effective strategy to increase power and accuracy in large scale differential expression RNA-seq studies, and provided new insights into efficient experiment design of RNA-seq studies Overall design: Treatment (10nM E2 treatment for 24h) and control MCF7 cells are both replicated 7 times, and collected for mRNA-seq. Reads are then subsampled for statistical analysis.

Description
In the present study, we hypothesized that C/EBPa (CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein alpha) plays a role in cell regeneration in response to bronchiolar epithelial cell injury. C/EBPa mediated ciliated cell regeneration after naphthalene bronchiolar epithelial cell injury in vivo. Furthermore, we demonstrated that C/EBPa regulates protease/anti-protease balance after lung injury, and intratracheal treatment with anti-protease (BPTI) restored ciliated cell regeneration after naphthalene injury in CebpaD/D mice.

Description
Growth plate chondrocytes were isolated from the distal metacarpus of young dairy cattle (all under 10 mo of age), the chondrocytes were released from the extracellular matrix by digestion with Collagenase P for 4 hours, and the various zones of the growth plate were separated by density centrifugation. The least-dense Hypertrophic Zone (HZ) cells were compared to the most-dense Reserve Zone (RZ) cells. 6 pairs of HZ vs RZ were compared by microarray.

Description
The CCA-adding enzyme adds CCA to the 3'' ends of transfer RNAs (tRNAs), a critical step in tRNA biogenesis that generates the amino acid attachment site. We found that the CCA-adding enzyme plays a key role in tRNA quality control by selectively marking unstable tRNAs and tRNA-like small RNAs for degradation. Instead of adding CCA to the 3'' ends of these transcripts, CCA-adding enzymes from all three kingdoms of life add CCACCA. Here, we report deep sequencing analysis of the 3'' ends of tRNA-Ser-CGA and tRNA-Ser-UGA from S. cerevisiae strains and show that hypomodified mature tRNAs are subjected to CCACCA (or poly(A) addition) as part of a rapid tRNA decay pathway in vivo. We conjecture that CCACCA addtion is a universal mechanism for controlling tRNA levels and preventing errors in translation. Overall design: 121 samples analyzed in total, representing time courses of 10 different yeast strains; Biological replicates for each time point are included
Publication Title
tRNAs marked with CCACCA are targeted for degradation.
