Affymetrix Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 Array (hgu133plus2)
Description
Dyskeratosis congenita (DC) is an inherited multi-system disorder, characterized by oral leukoplakia, nail dystrophy, and abnormal skin pigmentation, as well as high rates of bone marrow failure, solid tumors, and other medical problems such as osteopenia. DC and telomere biology disorders (collectively referred to as TBD here) are caused by germline mutations in telomere biology genes leading to very short telomeres and limited proliferative potential of hematopoietic stem cells. We found that skeletal stem cells (SSCs) within the bone marrow stromal cell population (BMSCs, also known as bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells), may contribute to the hematological phenotype.

Description
We investigated the clinical implications of lung developmental transcription factors (TTF-1, NKX2-8, and PAX9) which we recently discovered as cooperating oncogenes activated by way of gene amplification at chromosome 14q13 in lung cancer. Using stable transfectants of human bronchial epithelial cells, RNA expression profiles (signatures) representing activation of the biological pathways defined by each of the three genes were determined and used to risk stratify a non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) clinical dataset consisting of ninety-one early stage tumors. Co-activation of the TTF-1 and NKX2-8 pathways identified a cluster of patients with poor survival, representing approximately 20% of patients with early stage NSCLC, whereas activation of individual pathways did not reveal significant prognostic power. Importantly, the poor prognosis associated with co-activation of TTF-1 and NKX2-8 was validated in two other independent clinical datasets. Further, lung cancer cell lines showing co-activation of the TTF-1 and NKX2-8 pathways were shown to exhibit resistance to cisplatin, the standard of care for the treatment of NSCLC. Since TTF-1 and NKX2-8 lack specific inhibitors at the current time, we explored an alternative therapeutic strategy. Using signatures of signaling pathway activation, we identified deregulation of specific oncogenic pathways (Ras and Myc) in the TTF-1/NKX2-8 co-activated cohort.

Description
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is an immune-mediated chronic inflammatory disease affecting the central nervous system. The cause of MS is not known and the mechanism of IFN-beta, a disease-modifying treatment (DMT) approved for MS, is not well-understood. Oligonucleotide microarrays were used to study gene expression in plasmacytoid denditic cells (pDCs) which are antigen-presenting cells implicated in MS pathogenesis.

- Affymetrix Pseudomonas aeruginosa Array (paeg1a)
Description
The transcriptional regulator AmpR controls expression of the AmpC -lactamase in P. aeruginosa and other bacteria. Studies have demonstrated that in addition to regulating ampC expression, AmpR also regulates the expression of the sigma factor AlgT/U and the production of some quorum-sensing regulated virulence factors. In order to understand the ampR regulon, we compared the expression profiles of PAO1 and its isogenic ampR mutant, PAOampR in the presence and absence of sub-MIC -lactam stress. The analysis demonstrates that the ampR regulon is much more extensive than previously thought, with the deletion of ampR affecting the expression of over 300 genes. Expression of an additional 207 genes are affected by AmpR when the cells are exposed to sub-MIC -lactam stress, indicating that the ampR regulon in P. aeruginosa is much more extensive than previously thought.

Ion Torrent Proton
Description
Cells can survive effector caspase (caspase 3/7) activation in response to transient apoptotic stimuli, a process named anastasis. To characterize the molecular events that occur during anastasis, we performed whole transcriptome RNA sequencing of untreated, apoptotic, and recovering cells. We found that anastasis is an active, two-stage program with unique transcriptional profiles in each stage. We also identified 10 genes that specific to the early stage of anastasis. Overall design: 3hr ethanol treatment was used to induce apoptosis in Hela cells. Ethanol was washed away after 3hr treatment to allow cells to recover. Total RNA was prepared from mock-treated cells, ethanol-treated cells and cells after 1hr, 2hr, 3hr, 4hr, 8hr, 12hr recovery, followed by ribosomal RNA depletion. 3 biological replicates were included for each group. Sequencing was done using Ion Proton.

A molecular signature for anastasis, recovery from the brink of apoptotic cell death.
