We used PacBio data to identify more reliable transcripts from hESC, based on which we can estimate gene/transcript abundance better from Illumina data. Overall design: PacBio long reads and Illumina short reads were generated from the same hESC cell line H1. PacBio reads were error-corrected by Illumina reads to identify transcripts. rSeq is used to estimate gene/transcript abundance of the identified transcriptome.
Gaining comprehensive biological insight into the transcriptome by performing a broad-spectrum RNA-seq analysis.

View SamplesGlioma cells are sensitized to the alkylator temozolomide after exposure to IFN-beta. In glioma-initiating cells (GIC), IFN-beta alone reduces clonogenicity. We investigated differentially expressed genes with or without IFN exposure in either longterm glioma cells or GIC.
Interferon-β induces loss of spherogenicity and overcomes therapy resistance of glioblastoma stem cells.

View SamplesRecent studies demonstrated that tumor cells with stem cell-like properties can be cultured from human glioblastomas by using conditions that select for the expansion of neural stem cells. We established glioblastoma stem-like (GS-) cell cultures from 9 different glioblastomas, 8 of which generated stably expandable cell lines. Analyzing GS-cell cultures, we discovered two clearly discernable phenotypes.
Glioblastoma-derived stem cell-enriched cultures form distinct subgroups according to molecular and phenotypic criteria.

View SamplesIn this study, we explored the transcriptomic consequences of strong activation of the Notch pathway in embryonic human neural stem cells and in gliomas. For this we used a forced expression of the Notch intracellular domain (NICD).
Notch1 stimulation induces a vascularization switch with pericyte-like cell differentiation of glioblastoma stem cells.

View SamplesRecent work using mouse models has revealed that mTORC2, which unlike mTORC1 is not acutely sensitive to rapamycin, plays a key role in the regulation of organismal physiology. The substrates and pathways regulated by mTORC2 are at present relatively unknown

View SamplesWe compared a large panel of human glioblastoma stem-like (GS) cell lines, corresponding primary tumors and conventional glioma cell lines to identify cell lines that preserve the transcriptome of human glioblastomas most closely, thereby allowing identification of shared therapeutic targets.
A distinct subset of glioma cell lines with stem cell-like properties reflects the transcriptional phenotype of glioblastomas and overexpresses CXCR4 as therapeutic target.

View SamplesThe objectives of this study were to measure effects of an aspirin intervention on gene expression in normal colonic epithelial and stromal tissue in healthy humans and to determine whether response differed by UGT1A6*2 genotype. We also sought to characterize gene expression differences within colonic tissue microenvironments by identifying genes that were differentially expressed between epithelial and stromal tissue.
Tissue-specific patterns of gene expression in the epithelium and stroma of normal colon in healthy individuals in an aspirin intervention trial.
