Description
We characterized the gene expression by Hierarchical Clustering and one-matrix clustering in hESC, day 12 progenitors, day 25-day 27, day82 differentiated hypothalamic neurons from hESCs and day 45 neurons derived from iPSCs generated from controls (2 independent) and BBS (Bardet-Biedl Syndrome, 3 independent) subjects. Overall design: RNA was isolated from cells of 13 samples (1 hESC, triplicate for day 12 progenitors, 1 day 25 neuron sample, duplicate for day 27 neuron samples, 1 day 82 neuron sample, five day 45 neuron samples made from 5 independent iPSC lines ) using RNeasy Micro Kit (QIAGEN). Quality control of the RNA was carried out with the Agilent Bio-analyzer, Qubit 2.0 at the MPSR of Columbia University. 100 ng of RNA with RIN = 9 were used for generating mRNA-focused libraries using TruSeq RNA Sample Preparation Kit v2 and sequencing on an Illumina 2000/2500 V3 Instrument offered by the Columbia Genome Center.

Description
Familial Dysautonomia is a genetic disease, however patietns with the same genotype present with mild or severe forms of the disease. We used the pluripotent stem cell technology to capture the differences in disease severity in vitro during neurodevelopment as well as during maintanance of the cells, showing developmental and degenerative phenotypes. RNA seq. analysis of the groups confirmed those diffferences. Overall design: Analysis of RNA from PSC-derived neural crest cells from severe FD, mild FD and healthy patients

Description
We have generated expression profiles of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) and iPSC-derived neural crest populations from Familial Dysautonomia patients. These profiles were compared to a normal iPSC line that does not harbor the IKBKAP mutation. Overall design: All cell types were differentiated from patient derived iPSCs. Bulk iPSCs were harvested for RNA and the neural crest populations were sorted on day 18 for p75/HNK1 before RNA isolation.

Affymetrix Clariom S Human array (clariomshuman)
Description
HepG2 and THP-1 cells, the latter differentiated by phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA), were co-cultured and characterized for typical liver-specific functions, such as xenobiotic detoxification, lipid and cholesterol metabolism. Furthermore, liver injury-associated pathways, such as inflammation, were studied. In general, the co-cultivation of these cells produced a pro-inflammatory system, as indicated by increased levels of cytokines (IL-8, TGF-α, IL-6, GM-CSF, G-CSF, TGF-β, and hFGF) in the respective supernatant. Increased expression levels of target genes of the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR), e.g., CYP1A1, CYP1A2 and CYP1B1, were detected, accompanied by the increased enzyme activity of CYP1A1. Moreover, transcriptome analyses indicated a significant upregulation of cholesterol biosynthesis, which could be reduced to baseline levels by lovastatin. In contrast, total de novo lipid synthesis was reduced in co-cultured HepG2 cells. Key events of the adverse outcome pathway (AOP) for fibrosis were activated by the co-cultivation, however, no increase in the concentration of extracellular collagen was detected. This indicates, that AOP should be used with care. In summary, the indirect co-culture of HepG2/THP 1 cells results in an increased release of pro-inflammatory cytokines, an activation of the AHR pathway and an increased enzymatic CYP1A activity.

Description
Klotho functions as an aging suppressor, which, in mice, extends lifespan when overexpressed and accelerates development of aging-like phenotypes when disrupted. Klotho is mainly expressed in brain and kidney and is secreted into the serum and CSF. We have previously shown that Klotho is reduced in brains of old monkeys, rats and mice. We further reported the ability of Klotho to enhance oligodendrocyte differentiation and myelination. Here we examined the effects of Klotho on MO3.13, a human oligodendroglioma cell line in order to determine the potential role of Klotho as a tumor suppressor. We show that exogenous Klotho affects the ERK and Akt signaling pathways and decreases the proliferative abilities of MO3.13 cells. Furthermore, microarray analysis of Klotho-treated MO3.13 cells reveals a massive change in gene expression with 80% of the differentially expressed genes being downregulated. Using gene set enrichment analysis we predicted potential transcription factors involved in regulating Klotho-treated MO3.13 cells and found that these cells are highly enriched in the gene sets, that are similarly observed in cancer, cardiovascular disease, stress, aging and hormone-related chemical and genetic perturbations. Since Klotho is downregulated in all brain tumors tested to date, enhancing Klotho has therapeutic potential for treating brain malignancies.

Description
Our study demonstrated that e-cigarettes, both with and without nicotine, induced sex-dependent gene expression change. This RNA-seq study examined the expression profiles of brain frontal cortex samples from mice exposed to classic tobacco flavored bluâ„¢ e-cigarettes during gestation and lactation. Overall design: Brains were extracted and sectioned from ~1-month-old male and female offspring the week following exposure, RNA was isolated and purified from frontal cotrex tissues, and gene expression profiles were analyzed by RNA Sequencing.

Description
Scope: Consumption of industrial trans fatty acids unfavourably alters plasma cholesterol and has been linked to NAFLD. However, the mechanisms underlying these deleterious effects of trans fatty acids are unclear. Here, we aim to investigate the molecular mechanisms of action of industrial trans fatty acids. Methods & Results: Hepa1-6 hepatoma cells were incubated with elaidate, oleate, or palmitate. C57Bl/6 mice were fed diets rich in trans-unsaturated, cis-unsaturated or saturated fatty acids. Transcriptomics analysis of Hepa1-6 cells showed that elaidate but not oleate or palmitate induced expression of genes involved in cholesterol biosynthesis. Induction of cholesterogenesis by elaidate was mediated by increased SREBP2 and dependent on SCAP, yet independent of LXR and UBXD8. Elaidate decreased intracellular free cholesterol levels and repressed the anti-cholesterogenic effect of exogenous cholesterol. In mice, the trans-unsaturated diet increased the ratio of liver to gonadal fat mass, steatosis, hepatic cholesterol levels, ALT activity, and fibrosis markers, suggesting enhanced NAFLD, compared to the cis-unsaturated and saturated diets. Conclusion: Elaidate induces cholesterogenesis in vitro via activation of the SCAP-SREBP axis, likely by lowering intracellular free cholesterol and attenuating cholesterol-dependent repression of SCAP. This pathway potentially underlies the increase in liver cholesterol and NAFLD by industrial trans fatty acids.

Description
PKA activation by FSH is essential to transduce FSH-mediated effects on granulosa cell proliferation, differentiation and steroidogenesis. However, It is unknown whether activation of PKA is sufficient to account for the entire program of granulosa cell responses to FSH. We addressed this question by conducting a comprehensive comparative analysis of signaling pathways and gene expression profiles of granulosa cells stimulated with FSH or expressing a constitutively active PKA mutant, PKA-CQR.
