Background: Beta-adrenergic receptor agonists (BA) induce skeletal muscle hypertrophy, yet specific mechanisms that lead to this effect are not well understood. The objective of this research was to identify novel genes and physiological pathways that potentially facilitate BA induced skeletal muscle growth. We chose to evaluate global changes in gene expression by utilizing the Affymetrix platform to identify gene expression changes in mouse skeletal muscle. Changes in gene expression were evaluated 24 h (1D) and 10 days (10D) after administration of the BA clenbuterol.

View SamplesMurine C26 tumor xenografts displayed different responses to the treatments of PBS, Doxorubicin (Dox), and chimeric polypeptide (CP)-Dox conjugates. We used microarrays to globally study gene expression underlying these different responses and identified distinct classes of up-regulated or down-regulated genes upon treatment.

View SamplesCompetitive inhibitors of acetyl-lysine binding to the bromodomains of the BET (bromodomain and extra terminal) family are being developed for the treatment of solid and heme malignancies. BET family member BRD4 function at enhancers/super-enhancers has been shown to sustain signal-dependent or pathogenic gene expression programs.

View SamplesCompetitive inhibitors of acetyl-lysine binding to the bromodomains of the BET (bromodomain and extra terminal) family are being developed for the treatment of solid and heme malignancies. BET family member BRD4 function at enhancers/super-enhancers has been shown to sustain signal-dependent or pathogenic gene expression programs. Here we tested the hypothesis that the transcription factor drivers of castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) clinical progression, including the Androgen Receptor (AR), are critically dependent on BRD4 and thus represent a sensitive solid tumor indication for the BET inhibitor ABBV-075. DHT-stimulated transcription of AR target genes was inhibited by ABBV-075 without significant effect on AR protein expression. Further, ABBV-075 disrupted DHT-stimulated recruitment of BET family member BRD4 to gene regulatory regions co-occupied by AR, including the well-established PSA and TMPRSS2 enhancers. Persistent BET inhibition disrupted the composition and function of AR occupied enhancers as measured by a reduction in AR and H3K27Ac ChIP signal and inhibition of eRNA transcription. ABBV-075 displayed potent anti-proliferative activity in multiple models of resistance to second generation anti-androgens and inhibited the activity of AR-V7 and the AR LBD gain-of-function mutations, F877L and L702H. ABBV-075 was also a potent inhibitor of MYC and the TMPRSS2-ETS fusion protein, important parallel transcription factor drivers of CRPC.

View SamplesPTBA has been published to increase renal tubular cell proliferation, increased survival, and increased renal functional recovery in fish and various models of murine models of acute kidney injury. Immunohistological analyses suggested increased cell proliferation is accompanied by increased epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition in the RTECs. In order to elucidate pathways responsible for the increased repair response after compound treatment, larval zebrafish were given AKI and treated with PTBA analogue, UPHD25 or DMSO. Results suggests that epithelial-related genes were downregulated while mesenchymal-related genes were upregulated with injury and compound treatment. Results further validate our immunohistological finding that our compound increase post-AKI repair by increasing EMT in renal tubular cells. Overall design: At 3dpf, larval zebrafish are given acute kidney injury with gentamicin microinjection. 2 days post injury, larvae with AKI are selected and treated with 1uM of PTBA analogue, UPHD25 or vehicle control, 1% DMSO. The fish were treated with UPHD25 or DMSO for 24 hours. Then, pronephric kidneys were collected using DDT, collagenase I, and manual collection. Total 100 larvae were collected per sample, per replicate. Each treatment group was repeated with 3 biological replicates. RNA was collected and sequenced.
