Supplementary Data SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION A study restricted to chemokine receptors as well as a genome-wide transcript analysis uncovered CXCR4 as preferentially expressed in Ewing's sarcoma (Ewing's sarcoma) cells of metastatic origin (Figure 4). Transcriptome analyses showed that in addition to CXCR4, genes known to support cell motility and invasion topped the list of genes preferentially expressed in metastasis-derived cells (Figure 4D). These included kynurenine 3-monooxygenase (KMO), galectin-1 (LGALS1), gastrin-releasing peptide (GRP), procollagen C-endopeptidase enhancer (PCOLCE), and ephrin receptor B (EPHB3). KMO, a key enzyme of tryptophan catabolism, has not been linked to metastasis. Tryptophan and its catabolites, however, are involved in immune evasion by tumors, a process that can assist in tumor progression and metastasis (1). LGALS1, GRP, PCOLCE and EPHB3 have been linked to tumor progression and metastasis of several cancers (2-4). Top genes preferentially expressed in L-EDCL included genes that suppress cell motility and/or potentiate cell adhesion such as plakophilin 1 (PKP1), neuropeptide Y (NPY), or the metastasis suppressor TXNIP (5-7) (Figure 4D). Overall, L-EDCL were enriched in gene sets geared at optimizing nutrient transport and usage (Figure 4D; Supplementary Table 3), a state that may support the early stages of tumor growth. Once tumor growth outpaces nutrient and oxygen supplies, gene expression programs are usually switched to hypoxic response and neoangiogenesis, which ultimately lead to tumor egress and metastasis. Accordingly, gene sets involved in extracellular matrix remodeling, MAPK signaling, and response to hypoxia were up-regulated in M-EDCL (Figure 4D; Supplementary Table 4), consistent with their association to metastasis in other cancers (8, 9). Together, these data show that EDCL offer a relatively reasonable model to investigate gene expression patterns associated with localized and metastatic ES, and further support the notion that CXCR4 associates with metastatic ES, as shown in both cell lines and primary tumors.

BACKGROUND Description Arfaptin 2, also known as ARFIP2, is a Rac1 binding protein necessary for Rac-mediated actin polymerization and the subsequent formation of membrane ruffles and lamellipodia. ARFIP2 has also been shown to interact with the ADP ribosylation factor ARF6, a GTPase that associates with the plasma membrane and intracellular endosome vesicles, in a GTP dependent manner. Arfaptin 2 also regulates the aggregation of mutant Huntingtin protein by possibly impairing proteasome function. Expression of ARFIP2 was shown to be increased at sites of neurodegeneration. Recombinant human ARFIP2 protein, fused to His-tag at N-terminus, was expressed in E. coli 1 Recombinant human ARFIP2 protein Catalog Number: ATGP1695 and purified by using conventional chromatography techniques.

    Supplemental information to Mammadova-Bach et al., “Laminin α1 orchestrates VEGFA functions in the ecosystem of colorectal carcinogenesis” Supplemental material and methods Cloning of the villin-LMα1 vector The plasmid pBS-villin-promoter containing the 3.5 Kb of the murine villin promoter, the first non coding exon, 5.5 kb of the first intron and 15 nucleotides of the second villin exon, was generated by S. Robine (Institut Curie, Paris, France). The EcoRI site in the multi cloning site was destroyed by fill in ligation with T4 polymerase according to the manufacturer`s instructions (New England Biolabs, Ozyme, Saint Quentin en Yvelines, France). Site directed mutagenesis (GeneEditor in vitro Site-Directed Mutagenesis system, Promega, Charbonnières-les-Bains, France) was then used to introduce a BsiWI site before the start codon of the villin coding sequence using the 5’ phosphorylated primer: 5’CCTTCTCCTCTAGGCTCGCGTACGATGACGTCGGACTTGCGG3’. A double strand annealed oligonucleotide, 5’GGCCGGACGCGTGAATTCGTCGACGC3’ and 5’GGCCGCGTCGACGAATTCACGC GTCC3’ containing restriction site for MluI, EcoRI and SalI were inserted in the NotI site (present in the multi cloning site), generating the plasmid pBS-villin-promoter-MES. The SV40 polyA region of the pEGFP plasmid (Clontech, Ozyme, Saint Quentin Yvelines, France) was amplified by PCR using primers 5’GGCGCCTCTAGATCATAATCAGCCATA3’ and 5’GGCGCCCTTAAGATACATTGATGAGTT3’ before subcloning into the pGEMTeasy vector (Promega, Charbonnières-les-Bains, France). After EcoRI digestion, the SV40 polyA fragment was purified with the NucleoSpin Extract II kit (Machery-Nagel, Hoerdt, France) and then subcloned into the EcoRI site of the plasmid pBS-villin-promoter-MES. Site directed mutagenesis was used to introduce a BsiWI site (5’ phosphorylated AGCGCAGGGAGCGGCGGCCGTACGATGCGCGGCAGCGGCACG3’) before the initiation codon and a MluI site (5’ phosphorylated 1 CCCGGGCCTGAGCCCTAAACGCGTGCCAGCCTCTGCCCTTGG3’) after the stop codon in the full length cDNA coding for the mouse LMα1 in the pCIS vector (kindly provided by P.

Newkome _______________________________ Date ii ABSTRACT A tremendous increase in genomic data has encouraged biologists to turn to bioinformatics in order to assist in its interpretation and processing. One of the present challenges that need to be overcome in order to understand this data more completely is the development of a reliable method to accurately predict the function of a protein from its genomic information. This study focuses on developing an effective algorithm for protein function prediction. The algorithm is based on proteins that have similar expression patterns. The similarity of the expression data is determined using a novel measure, the slope matrix. The slope matrix introduces a normalized method for the comparison of expression levels throughout a proteome. The algorithm is tested using real microarray gene expression data. Their functions are characterized using gene ontology annotations. The results of the case study indicate the protein function prediction algorithm developed is comparable to the prediction algorithms that are based on the annotations of homologous proteins.

  • Expression Gene Network Analyses Reveal Molecular Mechanisms And
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Diferential expression and co- expression gene network analyses reveal molecular mechanisms and candidate biomarkers involved in breast muscle myopathies in chicken Eva Pampouille1,2, Christelle Hennequet-Antier1, Christophe Praud1, Amélie Juanchich1, Aurélien Brionne1, Estelle Godet1, Thierry Bordeau1, Fréderic Fagnoul2, Elisabeth Le Bihan-Duval1 & Cécile Berri1* The broiler industry is facing an increasing prevalence of breast myopathies, such as white striping (WS) and wooden breast (WB), and the precise aetiology of these occurrences remains poorly understood. To progress our understanding of the structural changes and molecular pathways involved in these myopathies, a transcriptomic analysis was performed using an 8 × 60 K Agilent chicken microarray and histological study. The study used pectoralis major muscles from three groups: slow-growing animals (n = 8), fast-growing animals visually free from defects (n = 8), or severely afected by both WS and WB (n = 8). In addition, a weighted correlation network analysis was performed to investigate the relationship between modules of co-expressed genes and histological traits. Functional analysis suggested that selection for fast growing and breast meat yield has progressively led to conditions favouring metabolic shifts towards alternative catabolic pathways to produce energy, leading to an adaptive response to oxidative stress and the frst signs of infammatory, regeneration and fbrosis processes. All these processes are intensifed in muscles afected by severe myopathies, in which new mechanisms related to cellular defences and remodelling seem also activated. Furthermore, our study opens new perspectives for myopathy diagnosis by highlighting fne histological phenotypes and genes whose expression was strongly correlated with defects. Te poultry industry relies on the production of fast-growing chickens, which are slaughtered at high weights and intended for cutting and processing.

  • Podocyte Specific Knockdown of Klf15 in Podocin-Cre Klf15flox/Flox Mice Was Confirmed
    SUPPLEMENTARY FIGURE LEGENDS Supplementary Figure 1: Podocyte specific knockdown of Klf15 in Podocin-Cre Klf15flox/flox mice was confirmed. (A) Primary glomerular epithelial cells (PGECs) were isolated from 12-week old Podocin-Cre Klf15flox/flox and Podocin-Cre Klf15+/+ mice and cultured at 37°C for 1 week. Real-time PCR was performed for Nephrin, Podocin, Synaptopodin, and Wt1 mRNA expression (n=6, ***p<0.001, Mann-Whitney test). (B) Real- time PCR was performed for Klf15 mRNA expression (n=6, *p<0.05, Mann-Whitney test). (C) Protein was also extracted and western blot analysis for Klf15 was performed. The representative blot of three independent experiments is shown in the top panel. The bottom panel shows the quantification of Klf15 by densitometry (n=3, *p<0.05, Mann-Whitney test). (D) Immunofluorescence staining for Klf15 and Wt1 was performed in 12-week old Podocin-Cre Klf15flox/flox and Podocin-Cre Klf15+/+ mice. Representative images from four mice in each group are shown in the left panel (X 20). Arrows show colocalization of Klf15 and Wt1. Arrowheads show a lack of colocalization. Asterisk demonstrates nonspecific Wt1 staining. “R” represents autofluorescence from RBCs. In the right panel, a total of 30 glomeruli were selected in each mouse and quantification of Klf15 staining in the podocytes was determined by the ratio of Klf15+ and Wt1+ cells to Wt1+ cells (n=6 mice, **p<0.01, unpaired t test). Supplementary Figure 2: LPS treated Podocin-Cre Klf15flox/flox mice exhibit a lack of recovery in proteinaceous casts and tubular dilatation after DEX administration.

Integral to this tool are the \seq2gene" and \gene2pathway" components in series that infer a quantitative pathway-level profile for each sample. The seq2gene function assigns phenotype-associated significance of genomic regions to gene-level scores, where the significance could be p-values of SNPs or point mutations, protein-binding affinity, or transcriptional expression level. The seq2gene function has the feasibility to assign non-exon regions to a range of neighboring genes besides the nearest one, thus facilitating the study of functional non-coding elements[2]. Then the gene2pathway summarizes gene-level measurements to pathway-level scores, comparing the quantity of significance for gene members within a pathway with those outside a pathway.

We utilized an informatics-based approach to develop a transcriptional signature of β-cell GA stress using existing RNA sequencing and microarray datasets generated using human islets from donors with diabetes and islets where type 1(T1D) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) had been modeled ex vivo. To narrow our results to GA-specific genes, we applied a filter set of 1,030 genes accepted as GA associated.

  • Sodium Pumps Mediate Activity-Dependent Changes in Mammalian Motor Networks
    906 • The Journal of Neuroscience, January 25, 2017 • 37(4):906–921 Systems/Circuits Sodium Pumps Mediate Activity-Dependent Changes in Mammalian Motor Networks X Laurence D. Picton, XFilipe Nascimento, XMatthew J. Broadhead, XKeith T. Sillar, and XGareth B. Miles School of Psychology and Neuroscience, University of St Andrews, St Andrews KY16 9JP, United Kingdom Ubiquitously expressed sodium pumps are best known for maintaining the ionic gradients and resting membrane potential required for generating action potentials. However, activity- and state-dependent changes in pump activity can also influence neuronal firing and regulate rhythmic network output. Here we demonstrate that changes in sodium pump activity regulate locomotor networks in the spinal cord of neonatal mice. The sodium pump inhibitor, ouabain, increased the frequency and decreased the amplitude of drug-induced locomotor bursting, effects that were dependent on the presence of the neuromodulator dopamine. Conversely, activating the pump with the sodium ionophore monensin decreased burst frequency. When more “natural” locomotor output was evoked using dorsal-root stimulation, ouabain increased burst frequency and extended locomotor episode duration, whereas monensin slowed and shortened episodes. Decreasing the time between dorsal-root stimulation, and therefore interepisode interval, also shortened and slowed activity, suggesting that pump activity encodes information about past network output and contributes to feedforward control of subsequent locomotor bouts. Using whole-cell patch-clamp recordings from spinal motoneurons and interneurons, we describe a long-duration (ϳ60 s), activity-dependent, TTX- and ouabain-sensitive, hyperpolarization (ϳ5 mV), which is mediated by spike-dependent increases in pump activity. The duration of this dynamic pump potential is enhanced by dopamine.
