Description
We profiled genome-wide accesssible chromatin data and RNA-seq from four species (zebrafish, stickleback, mouse, and human) to identify commonly regulated genes and regulatory metods in intestinal epithelial cells (IECs). We identify a group genes that are commonly expressed in IECs and genes that are commonly expressed along the length of the intestine in fish and mammals. Using accessible chromatin data we identified enriched transcription factor binding site motifs In IECs and sites that are commonly accessible in IECs in all species. Finally, we confirm the ability for these regions from multiple species to drive conserved expression in IECs using a zebrafish reporter assay. Overall design: Examination of expression levels and chromatin accessibility in intestinal epithelaial cells in zebrafish

Description
There is a need for reliable prognostic markers that can guide therapeutic intervention in Crohn’s disease (CD). We examined whether different behavioral phenotypes in CD can be classified based on colonic miRNA or mRNA expression and if miRNAs have prognostic utility for CD. We perform high-throughput sequencing of small RNA and mRNA isolated from colon tissue from CD patients and non-IBD (NIBD) controls. To identify miRNA and genes associated with specific behavioral phenotypes of CD, patients were stratified according to disease behavior (non-stricturing, non-penetrating; stricturing; penetrating) and compared miRNA profiles in each class with those of the NIBD group. Using a novel statistical simulation approach applied to colonic RNA-seq data for CD patients and NIBD controls, we identify at drivers of gene expression profiles associated with CD. Overall design: Macroscopically non-inflamed colon tissue from well-characterized Crohn''s disease patients and normal controls were obtained. Small RNA-seq and RNA-seq were performed on these samples. Additionally, we investigated the effect of inflammation on miRNA expression by performing small RNA-seq on matched colon samples obtained from macroscopically inflamed regions from a subset (six) of these patients with Crohn''s Disease.

Vitamin D deficiency has been associated with increased esophageal cancer risk. Vitamin D controls many downstream regulators of cellular processes including proliferation, apoptosis, and differentiation. We evaluated the effects of vitamin D supplementation on global gene expression in patients with Barrett's esophagus.

Description
Systemic inflammation like in sepsis is still lacking specific diagnostic markers and effective therapeutics. The first line of defense against intruding pathogens and endogenous damage signals is pattern recognition by e.g., complement and Toll-like receptors (TLR). Combined inhibition of a key complement component (C3 and C5) and TLR-co-receptor CD14 has been shown to attenuate certain systemic inflammatory responses. Using DNA microarray and gene annotation analyses, we aimed to decipher the effect of combined inhibition of C3 and CD14 on the transcriptional response to bacterial challenge in human whole blood. Importantly, combined inhibition reversed the transcriptional changes of 70% of the 2335 genes which significantly responded to heat-inactivated Escherichia coli by on average 80%. Single inhibition was less efficient (p<0.001) but revealed a suppressive effect of C3 on 21% of the responding genes which was partially counteracted by CD14. Furthermore, CD14 dependency of the Escherichia coli-induced response was increased in C5-deficient compared to C5-sufficient blood. The observed crucial distinct and synergistic roles for complement and CD14 on the transcriptional level correspond to their broad impact on the inflammatory response in human blood, and their combined inhibition may become inevitable in the early treatment of acute systemic inflammation.

Description
Methylation of histone H3 lysine 4 (H3K4me) at actively expressed, cell type-specific genes is established during development by the Trithorax group of epigenetic regulators. In mammals, the Trithorax family includes KMT2A-D (MLL1-4), a family of SET domain proteins that function in large complexes to impart mono-, di-, and trimethylation at H3K4. Individual KMT2s and their co-factors are essential for embryonic development and the establishment of correct gene expression patterns, presumably by demarcating the active and accessible regions of the genome in a cell specific and heritable manner. Despite the importance of H3K4me marks in development, little is known about the importance of histone methylation in maintaining gene expression patterns in fully differentiated and non-dividing cell types. In this report, we utilized an inducible cardiac-specific Cre driver to delete the PTIP protein, a key component of a H3K4me complex, and ask whether this activity is still required to maintain the phenotype of terminally differentiated cardiomyocytes. Our results demonstrate that reducing the H3K4me3 marks is sufficient to alter gene expression patterns and significantly augment systolic heart function. These results clearly show that maintenance of H3K4me3 marks is necessary for the stability of the transcriptional program in differentiated cells. The array we performed allowed us to identify genes that are regulated by PTIP and histone methylation.

Description
In human cells, Staufen1 is double-stranded RNA-binding protein involved in several cellular functions including mRNA localization, translation and decay. We used a genome wide approach to identify and compare the mRNA targets of mammalian Staufen1. The mRNA content of Staufen1 mRNPs was identified by probing DNA microarrays with probes derived from mRNAs isolated from immunopurified Staufen-containing complexes following transfection of HEK293T cells with a Stau1-HA expressor. Our results indicate that 7% of the cellular RNAs expressed in HEK293T cells are found in Stau1-containing mRNPs. There is a predominance of mRNAs involved in cell metabolism, transport, transcription, regulation of cell processes and catalytic activity.
Publication Title
A genome-wide approach identifies distinct but overlapping subsets of cellular mRNAs associated with Staufen1- and Staufen2-containing ribonucleoprotein complexes.
