Villin expression is frequently lost in poorly differentiated colon cancer.
Cell line
View SamplesSpecimens were obtained from non-neoplastic colorectal mucosa for RNA ayalysis. Samples were obtained either from surgically resected specimens or during surveillance coloscopy. The expression profiles were determined using Affymetrix Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 arrays.The correlation between mtDNA CNV and mitochondria-related gene expressions were investigated.

View SamplesWe report the application of low cell number sequencing of identifiable Drosophila melanogaster neurons following behavior. We demonstate the feasibility of identifying the transcriptome of 5 Mushroom Body output Neurons and 2 classes of Kenyon Cells. We find these neurons display a diverse repertoire of receptors and signaling transcripts. This information alone seems to be enough to identify each class of neurons in the study. In additional we show that aversive long-term memory induces changes in gene transcript levels in a subset of these neurons. This study provides a framework for identifying neuronal classes in Drosophila melanogaster and gaining insight into the interplay between behavior and gene regulation. Overall design: 5 Mushroom Body output neurons and 2 classes of kenyon cells are used to look at general gene expression and changes following aversive long term memory. Paired control and trained animals were used and a minimum of 4 pairs up to 6 pairs. Animals were of the same background (w1118). Animals were aged and parental matched. Cells were harvested at the same chronological time for the animals across all experiments. All animals were exposed to 1 minute of each odor and 1 minute of a series of 12 5second 60V shocks. This was considered one block and then the animals had spaced training of each block so there was a 10 minute break between 8 blocks of training. Trained animals had an odor paired with a shock, control animals received the shock then the odor stimulus. All cells were harvested usign a patch pipet from living animals on an electrophysiology rig within a half hour of the end of training. Cells were amplified using the Clontech SMARTer Ultra Low Input RNA version 2 High Volume kit. 2 Brain samples were also collected and 3-4 whole fly samples for each genotype were collected to account for background differences across flies.

Subject
View SamplesBcl11a is a transcription factor known to regulate lymphoid and erythroid development. Recent bioinformatic analysis of global gene expression patterns has suggested a role for Bcl11a in the development of dendritic cell (DC) lineages. We tested this hypothesis by analyzing the development of DC and other lineages in Bcl11a(-/-) mice. We show that Bcl11a is required for expression of IL-7 receptor (IL-7R) and Flt3 in early hematopoietic progenitor cells. The loss of IL-7R(+) common lymphoid progenitors accounts for previously described lymphoid defects in Bcl11a(-/-) mice. In addition, we found severely decreased numbers of plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) in Bcl11a(-/-) fetal livers and in the bone marrow of Bcl11a(-/-) fetal liver chimeras. Moreover, Bcl11a(-/-) cells show severely impaired in vitro development of Flt3L-derived pDCs and classical DCs (cDCs). In contrast, we found normal in vitro development of DCs from Bcl11a(-/-) fetal liver cells treated with GM-CSF. These results suggest that the persistent cDC development observed in Bcl11a(-/-) fetal liver chimeras reflects derivation from a Bcl11a- and Flt3-independent pathway in vivo.
Bcl11a controls Flt3 expression in early hematopoietic progenitors and is required for pDC development in vivo.

View SamplesThe present study reveals LMYC and MXD1 as novel regulators of a transcriptional program that is modulated during the maturation of Batf3-dependent dendritic cells (also known as type I classical dendritic cells or cDC1s).
The MYCL and MXD1 transcription factors regulate the fitness of murine dendritic cells.

View SamplesES cells differentiated in the presence of the Wnt inhibitor DKK1 fail to express the transcription factor Snail and undergo EMT or mesoderm differentiation. We generated an ES cell line, A2.snail, that induced Snail expression upon addition of doxycycline addition.
Snail promotes the cell-autonomous generation of Flk1(+) endothelial cells through the repression of the microRNA-200 family.

View SamplesThe simultaneous genotyping of tens of thousands of SNP using SNP microarrays is a very important tool that is revolutionizing genetics and molecular biology. In this work, we present a new application of this technique by using it to assess chromatin immunoprecipitation (CHIP) as a means to assess the multiple genomic locations bound by a protein complex recognized by an antibody. We illustrate the use of this technique with an analysis of the change in histone H4 acetylation, a marker of open chromatin and transcriptionally active genomic regions, which occur during the differentiation of human myoblasts into myotubes. Our results are validated by the observation of a significant correlation between the histone modifications detected and the expression of the nearby genes, as measured by DNA microarrays.
