View SamplesWe have analyzed the effects of IL-27 signaling in dendritic cells (DCs) in the activation and polarization of effector and regulatory T cells, and the development of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis, an experimental model of multiple sclerosis.
IL-27 acts on DCs to suppress the T cell response and autoimmunity by inducing expression of the immunoregulatory molecule CD39.

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
Gcn4 is required for the response to peroxide stress in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

View SamplesMost cancer genomics papers to date have focused on aberrations in genomic DNA and protein-coding transcripts. However, around 50% of transcripts have no coding potential and may exist as non-coding RNA. We performed RNA-seq in BRAFv600e melanoma skin cancer and on melanocytes over-expressing oncogenic BRAF to catalog transcriptome remodeling. We discovered that BRAF regulates expression of 1027 protein coding transcripts, 39 annotated lncRNAs and 70 novel transcripts. Many of the novel transcripts are lncRNAs. We used an indepenedent dataset to interrogate our novel transcripts and found that the novel lncRNA BANCR is a BRAF-regulated lncRNA recurrently upregulated in melanoma. Knockdown of BANCR impairs melanoma cell migration.

View SamplesPurpose: mRNA translation into protein is highly regulated, but the role of mRNA isoforms, noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs), and genetic variants has yet to be systematically studied. Using high-throughput sequencing (RNA-seq), we have measured cellular levels of mRNAs and ncRNAs, and their isoforms, in lymphoblast cell lines (LCL) and in polysomal fractions, the latter shown to yield strong correlations of mRNAs with expressed protein levels. Analysis of allelic RNA ratios at heterozygous SNPs served to reveal genetic factors in ribosomal loading. Methods: RNA-seq was performed on cytosolic extracts and polysomal fractions (3 ribosomes or more) from three lymphoblastoid cell lines. As each RNA fraction was amplified (NuGen kit), and relative contributions from various RNA classes differed between cytosol and polysomes, the fraction of any given RNA species loaded onto polysomes was difficult to quantitate. Therefore, we focused on relative recovery of the various RNA classes and rank order of single RNAs compared to total RNA. Results: RNA-seq of coding and non-coding RNAs (including microRNAs) in three LCLs revealed significant differences in polysomal loading of individual RNAs and isoforms, and between RNA classes. Moreover, correlated distribution between protein-coding and non-coding RNAs suggests possible interactions between them. Allele-selective RNA recruitment revealed strong genetic influence on polysomal loading for multiple RNAs. Allelic effects can be attributed to generation of different RNA isoforms before polysomal loading or to differential loading onto polysomes, the latter defining a direct genetic effect on translation. Several variants and genes identified by this approach are also associated with RNA expression and clinical phenotypes in various databases. Conclusions: These results provide a novel approach using complete transcriptome RNA-seq to study polysomal RNA recruitment and regulatory variants affecting protein translation. Overall design: cells from 3 samples were grown to 5x105 cells/mL density in T75 tissue culture flask and harvested, total RNA and polysome bound RNA was sequenced by Ion Proton

View SamplesWe performed RNA-Seq and compared expression levels of genes of reactivated LCMV.GP66-77 specific CD4 T cells isolated from bone marrow (BM) and spleen of LCMV.GP61-80 primed C57BL/6 mice. Cells were isolated 3 days after antigenic re-challenge Overall design: C57BL/6 mice were primed at day 0 with LCMV.GP61-80-NP-MSA + poly(I:C) and immunized again at day 14 with LCMV.GP61-80 + poly(I:C). 60 days later, C57BL/6 mice were boosted with LCMV.GP61-80-NP-MSA + poly(I:C) and 3 days after the boost, LCMV specific CD4 T cells were isolated from BM and spleen
