Description
Purpose: Next-generation sequencing (NGS) has revolutionized systems-based analysis of cellular pathways. The goals of this study are to compare NGS transcriptome profiling (RNA-seq) from whole eye, after removal of the lens and cornea from 1-2 month old miR-211-/- mice and compare it with wt mice Methods: Whole eye (after removal of the lens and cornea) mRNA profiles of 1-2 month old wild-type (WT) and neural miR-211-/-mice were generated by deep sequencing, in multiple biological replicates, five for WT and six for miR-211-/- animals, using Illumina GAIIx. The sequence reads that passed quality filters were analyzed at the transcript isoform level with two methods: Burrows–Wheeler Aligner (BWA) followed by ANOVA (ANOVA) and TopHat followed by Cufflinks. qRT–PCR validation was performed using TaqMan and SYBR Green assays RNA-Seq libraries were prepared from whole eye, after removal of the lens and cornea from miR-211-/- mice. Results: Each library was sequenced using 100 bp paired-end sequencing on the Illumina HiSeq 1000 system. Gene abundances from RNA-Seq data were quantified using RSEM45. Using an optimized data analysis workflow, we mapped about 30 million sequence reads per sample to the mouse genome. This approach yielded read count values for a total of 38253 mouse genes annotated in GenCode. We only considered genes that had at least 1 count per million in at least five out of 11 samples as expressed, yielding a total of 15590 genes. Next we performed differential gene expression analysis to determine the transcriptional effects of miR-211 deletion. This analysis yielded a total of 63 genes that were differentially expressed with a False Discovery Rate (FDR) <0.1 (Fig. 4). Of these, the expression levels of 61 genes were significantly decreased upon miR-211 deletion, while only 2 genes were upregulated. Conclusions: Our study represents the first detailed analysis of whole eye transcriptomes, with biologic replicates, generated by RNA-seq technology on miR-211-/-. Overall design: Whole eye (after removal of the lens and cornea) mRNA profiles of 1-2 month old wild-type (WT) and neural miR-211-/-mice were generated by deep sequencing, in multiple biological replicates, five for WT and six for miR-211-/- animals, using Illumina GAIIx.

Description
Malignant glioblastoma (GBM) is a highly aggressive brain tumor with a dismal prognosis and limited therapeutic options. Genomic profiling of GBM samples in the TCGA database has identified four molecular subtypes (Proneural, Neural, Classical and Mesenchymal), which may arise from different glioblastoma stem-like cell (GSC) populations. In the present study, we identify two GSC populations that produce GBM tumors by subcutaneous and intracranial injection with identical histological features. Gene expression analysis revealed that xenografts of GSCs grown as spheroid cultures had a Classical molecular subtype similar to that of bulk tumor cells. In contrast xenografts of GSCs grown as adherent cultures on laminin-coated plates expressed a Mesenchymal gene signature. Adherent GSC-derived xenografts had high STAT3 and ANGPTL4 expression as well as enrichment for stem cell markers, transcriptional networks and pro-angiogenic markers characteristic of the Mesenchymal subtype. Examination of clinical samples from GBM patients showed that STAT3 expression was directly correlated with ANGPTL4 expression, and that increased expression of these genes correlated with poor patient survival and performance. A pharmacological STAT3 inhibitor abrogated STAT3 binding to the ANGPTL4 promoter and exhibited anticancer activity in vivo. Taken together, we identified two distinct GSC populations that produce histologically identical tumors but with very different gene expression patterns, and a STAT3/ ANGPTL4 pathway in glioblastoma that may serve as a target for therapeutic intervention.

Description
Using stem cellbased therapies to treat retinal abnormalities is becoming a likely possibility; therefore, identifying the key factors and the relevant mechanisms controlling optic vesicle morphogenesis and neuroretina (NR) differentiation is important. Recent advances in self-organizing, 3-dimensional (3D) tissue cultures of embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) provided a valuable in vitro model for characterizing regulatory cascades and signaling pathways controlling mammalian retinal development. Using Rx-GFP expressing ESCs and Six3/ iPSCs we identified R-spondin 2 (Rspo2)-mediated repression of Wnt signaling as a novel required step during optic vesicle morphogenesis and NR differentiation. Furthermore, we also show that transient ectopic expression of Rspo2 in the anterior neural plate of transgenic mouse embryos was sufficient to arrest NR differentiation. ChIP assays identified Six3-responsive elements in the Rspo2-promoter region, indicating that Six3-mediated repression of Rspo2 is required to restrict Wnt signaling in the developing anterior neuroectoderm and allow eye development to proceed.

Description
Half of prostate cancers are caused by a gene-fusion that enables androgens to drive expression of the normally silent ETS transcription factor ERG in luminal prostate cells1-4. Recent prostate cancer genomic landscape studies5-10 have reported rare but recurrent point mutations in the ETS repressor ERF11. Here we show these ERF mutations cause decreased protein stability and ERF mutant tumours are mostly exclusive from those with ERG fusions. ERF loss recapitulates the morphologic and phenotypic features of ERG gain in primary mouse prostate tissue, including expansion of the androgen receptor (AR) transcriptional repertoire, and ERF has tumour suppressor activity in the same genetic background of PTEN loss that yields oncogenic activity by ERG. Furthermore, in a human prostate cancer model of ERG gain and wild-type ERF, ChIP-seq studies indicate that ERG inhibits the ability of ERF to bind DNA at consensus ETS sites. Consistent with a competition model, ERF loss rescues ERG-positive prostate cancer cells from ERG dependency. Collectively, these data provide evidence that the oncogenicity of ERG is mediated, in part, by displacement of ERF and raise the larger question of whether other gain-of-function oncogenic transcription factors might also inactivate endogenous tumour suppressors. Overall design: Murine Pten+/+ prostates were infected with shNT or shErf lentivirus, selected with antibiotics and 2 rounds of FACS. For each condition, 2 sets of equal numbers of cells were plated and then processed for RNA extraction and RNA-seq independently.

Affymetrix Zebrafish Genome Array (zebrafish)
Description
Olsen et al (2010) have shown that induced Diabetes mellitus (DM) in adult Zebrafish results in an impairment of tissue regeneration as monitored by caudal fin regeneration. In those studies, streptozocin was used to induce hyperglycemia in adult zebrafish, and then, following streptozocin withdrawal, a recovery phase was allowed to re-establish euglycemia, due to pancreatic b-cell regeneration. DM-associated impaired fin regeneration continued indefinitely in the metabolic memory state (MM); allowing for subsequent molecular analysis of the underlying mechanisms of MM. This study focuses on elucidating the molecular basis explaining DM-associated impaired fin regeneration and why it persists into the MM state. The analysis of microarray data indicated that of the 14,900 transcripts analyzed, aberrant expression of 71 genes relating to tissue developmental and regeneration processes were identified in DM fish and the aberrant expression of these 71 genes persisted into the MM state. Key regulatory genes of major signal transduction pathways were identified among this group of 71; and therefore, these findings provide a possible explanation for how hyperglycemia induces impaired fin regeneration and why it continues into the MM state.
