Selleck Professor and Head of the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School iii ABSTRACT Genome-wide measurements of epigenetic features such as histone modifications, occupancy by transcription factors and coactivators provide the opportunity to understand more globally how genes are regulated. While much effort is being put into integrating the marks from various combinations of features, the contribution of each feature to accuracy of enhancer prediction is not known. We began with predictions of 4,915 candidate erythroid enhancers based on genomic occupancy by TAL1, a key hematopoietic transcription factor that is strongly associated with gene induction in erythroid cells. Seventy of these DNA segments occupied by TAL1 (TAL1 OSs) were tested by transient transfections of cultured hematopoietic cells, and 56% of these were active as enhancers. Sixty-six TAL1 OSs were evaluated in transgenic mouse embryos, and 65% of these were active enhancers in various tissues. -
Fusion Transcripts and Transcribed Retrotransposed Loci Discovered Through Comprehensive Transcriptome Analysis Using Paired-End Ditags (Pets)

Paired-End diTag (PET) analysis possesses a unique capability to accurately and efficiently characterize the two ends of DNA fragments, which may have either normal or unusual compositions. This unique nature of PET analysis makes it an ideal tool for uncovering unconventional features residing in the human genome. Using the PET approach for comprehensive transcriptome analysis, we were able to identify fusion transcripts derived from genome rearrangements and actively expressed retrotransposed pseudogenes, which would be difficult to capture by other means. Here, we demonstrate this unique capability through the analysis of 865,000 individual transcripts in two types of cancer cells. -

Identification of Mirnas and Their Targets Through High-Throughput
Chen et al. BMC Plant Biology (2016) 16:80 DOI 10.1186/s12870-016-0770-z RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Identification of miRNAs and their targets through high-throughput sequencing and degradome analysis in male and female Asparagus officinalis Jingli Chen1†, Yi Zheng2†, Li Qin1†, Yan Wang1, Lifei Chen1, Yanjun He1, Zhangjun Fei2,3 and Gang Lu1* Abstract Background: MicroRNAs (miRNAs), a class of non-coding small RNAs (sRNAs), regulate various biological processes. Although miRNAs have been identified and characterized in several plant species, miRNAs in Asparagus officinalis have not been reported. As a dioecious plant with homomorphic sex chromosomes, asparagus is regarded as an important model system for studying mechanisms of plant sex determination. Results: Two independent sRNA libraries from male and female asparagus plants were sequenced with Illumina sequencing, thereby generating 4.13 and 5.88 million final clean reads, respectively. Both libraries predominantly contained 24-nt sRNAs, followed by 21-nt sRNAs. Further analysis identified 154 conserved miRNAs, which belong to 26 families, and 39 novel miRNA candidates seemed to be specific to asparagus. Comparative profiling revealed that 63 miRNAs exhibited significant differential expression between male and female plants, which was confirmed by real-time quantitative PCR analysis. Among them, 37 miRNAs were significantly up-regulated in the female library, whereas the others were preferentially expressed in the male library. Furthermore, 40 target mRNAs representing 44 conserved and seven novel miRNAs were identified in asparagus through high-throughput degradome sequencing. Functional annotation showed that these target mRNAs were involved in a wide range of developmental and metabolic processes. -

The Role of Micrornas in Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma Pathogenesis: a Literature Review
Applied Cancer Research. 2013;33(4):198-205. REVIEW The role of microRNAS in oral squamous cell carcinoma pathogenesis: a literature review Anne Maria Guimarães Lessa1, Ludmila Faro Valverde2, Rosane Borges Dias2, Maria Cecília Mathias Machado1, Jean Nunes dos Santos3, Clarissa Araújo Gurgel Rocha3 ABSTRACT In this review, we summarize the main aspects related to the involvement of microRNAs (miRNAs) in oral carcinogenesis. miRNAs are small non-protein-coding RNAs that function such as regulators of gene expression. They regulate various biological processes such as growth, differentiation and apoptosis and have been widely studied in carcinogenesis. miRNAs may exhibit oncogenic or tumor suppressor activity in cancer, depending on the biological context and the cell type. The altered expression patterns of miRNA in cancer could serve as molecular biomarkers for tumor diagnosis, prognosis and disease-specific prediction of therapeutic responses. The literature indicates that up-regulation of miR-21, miR-221, miR-184 and under expression of miR-133a, miR-375 and let-7b are the principal profile in oral squamous cell carcinomas.

Materials and Methods: In the present experiment, NB4 cells were treated with different quantities of estradiol (5, 25, 50, 75, 100, 150, 200, 250 μg/ml) and vehicle control for 24 and 48 hours. Viability, apoptosis, and cellular proliferation were estimated by trypan blue exclusion, flow cytometry, and MTT assays, respectively. -
