In order to identify transcript changes in response to DEF , we used human macrophages with or without DEF treatment. In order to study the effect of iron chelation on LPS-polarized macrophage transcriptome, we exposed DEF-treated or control macrophages to short time exposure to LPS. We then performed whole-genome transcriptome sequencing by RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq). Overall design: Macrophages from 3 healthy donors were either treated with DEF (500 µM - designated as DEF) or left unstimulated (CONTROL). LPS treatment (100 ng/ml, 3 hours) was performed in cells with DEF (designated as LPS+DEF) or without (LPS). RNA-seq was performed on Illumina Hiseq 2500

View SamplesThe transition in developmental control from maternal to zygotic gene products marks a critical step in early embryogenesis. Here, we use GRO-seq analysis to map the genome-wide RNA polymerase distribution during the Drosophila maternal to zygotic transition. This analysis unambiguously identifies the zygotic transcriptome, and provides insight into its mechanisms of regulation. Overall design: Two replicates of GRO-seq at each time point.
Extensive polymerase pausing during Drosophila axis patterning enables high-level and pliable transcription.

View SamplesYeast cells were grown up in SD media containing all required amino acids. Each strain set was performed in triplicate. One set had no changes, the second set had 1mM methionine supplenting the media for the duration of growth and the third set was exposed to 0.5mM hydrogen peroxide for 15 minutes prior to harvesting

View SamplesGlobal restriction of protein synthesis is a hallmark of cellular stress. Using hydrogen peroxide, we monitor the transcript level and also the translation status for each RNA using cycloheximide to freeze elongating ribosomes. Polyribosome fractionation of cell extracts was used to separate highly translated and poorly translated mRNAs that were then separately analysed.

View SamplesThe coupling between cell-cycle exit and onset of differentiation is a common feature throughout the developing nervous system, but the mechanisms that link these processes are mostly unknown. Although the transcription factor Pax6 was implicated in both proliferation and differentiation of multiple regions within the CNS, its contribution to the transition between these successive states remains elusive. To gain insight into the role of Pax6 during the transition from proliferating progenitors to differentiating precursors, we investigated cell-cycle and transcriptomic changes occurring in Pax6- retinal progenitor cells (RPCs). Our analyses revealed a unique cell-cycle phenotype of the Pax6-deficient RPCs, which included a reduced number of cells in the S phase, an increased number of cells exiting the cell cycle, and delayed differentiation kinetics of Pax6- precursors. These alterations were accompanied by co-expression of factors that promote (Ccnd1, Ccnd2, Ccnd3) and inhibit (P27kip1 and P27kip2) the cell cycle. Further characterization of the changes in transcription profile of the Pax6-deficient RPCs revealed abrogated expression of multiple factors which are known to be involved in regulating proliferation of RPCs, including the transcription factors Vsx2, Nr2e1, Plagl1 and Hedgehog signaling. These findings provide novel insight into the molecular mechanism mediating the pleiotropic activity of Pax6 in RPCs. The results further suggest that rather than conveying a linear effect on RPCs, such as promoting their proliferation and inhibiting their differentiation, Pax6 regulates multiple transcriptional networks which function simultaneously, thereby conferring the capacity to proliferate, assume multiple cell fates and execute the differentiation program into retinal lineages.
Pax6 is required for normal cell-cycle exit and the differentiation kinetics of retinal progenitor cells.
