Affymetrix Zebrafish Genome Array (zebrafish)
Description
Photoreceptor damage in adult mammals results in permanent cell loss and glial scarring in the retina. In contrast, adult zebrafish can regenerate photoreceptors following injury. By using a stable transgenic line in which GFP is driven by the cis-regulatory sequences of a glial specific marker gfap, Tg(gfap:GFP)mi2002, previous studies showed that Mller glia, the radial glial cells in the retina, proliferate after photoreceptor loss and give rise to neuronal progenitors that eventually differentiate into regenerated photoreceptors. To identify the molecular mechanisms that initiate this regenerative response, Mller glia were isolated from Tg(gfap:GFP)mi2002 fish during the early stages of regeneration after light lesion and gene expression profiles were generated by microarray analyses.

Description
We employed next generation sequencing to examine whether knocking down the steroid receptor RNA activator (SRA) gene significantly affect the expression levels of certain genes in MCF-7 cells. MCF-7 cells were transfected with either a pool of four non-target control siRNAs or a pool of four SRA siRNAs for 32 hrs. 157 million reads were generated from triplicate samples of the control group; 151 million reads were generated from triplicate samples of the SRA knockdown group. Six genes were identified as significantly changed in the expression levels with the cutoff of q value = 0.05, fold change = 0.5 or = 2, and reads per kilobase per million mapped reads (RPKM) = 1. However, except for SRA itself, the other five genes were shown by real-time PCR to be only affected by one siRNA in the SRA siRNA pool. Further analysis of this dataset with different cuttoff setting may reveal true SRA-regulated genes in MCF-7. Overall design: MCF-7 cells were cultured in high glucose DMEM with 10% fetal bovine serum, 2 mM Glutamax-1, 100 units/ml penicillin and 100 µg/ml streptomycin. ON-TARGETplus SMARTpool for human SRA (Thermo Scientific, L-027192-00-0005) was used to knockdown SRA (siSRA) and ON-TARGETplus Non-targeting Pool Thermo Scientific, D-001810-10-05) was used as a negative control (siCtrl). A total of 25 nM siRNA was transfected in 6-well dishes using Lipofectamine™ RNAiMAX Reagent (Life Technologies, Invitrogen) following the manufacturer’s recommendations. Polyadenylated RNA was purified from the cells 32 hrs after transfection. cDNA libraries were prepared and double-stranded cDNA was fragmented using DNase I according to Illumina specifications, prior to adaptor ligation. Sequencing libraries were amplified and sequenced using an Illumina HiSeq 2000 sequencer.

Description
The perception that soy food products and dietary supplements will have beneficial effects on heart health has led to a massive consumer market. However, we have previously noted that diet has a profound effect on disease progression in a genetic model of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). In this model, a soy-based diet negatively impacts cardiac function in male mice.

Description
Human strabismic extraocular muscles (EOMs) differ from normal EOMs in structural and functional properties, but the gene expression profile of these two types of human EOM has not been examined. Differences in gene expression may inform about causes and effects of the strabismic condition in humans. Our samples are from human strabismic patients undergoing corrective surgery, and from human organ donors with no history of EOM disease.

Description
We sought to determine the genes regulated by the Drosophila Hox protein AbdA in a homogenous cell system. S2-DRSC cells that have no Hox expression were stably transfected with HA-tagged AbdA under the control of a metallothionein promoter. Overall design: S2-DRSC cells are stably transfected with HA-tagged AbdA (S2-DRSC:AbdA). S2 and S2-AbdA cells are analysed for gene expression in the absence (S2-DRSC) and presence (S2-DRSC-HA::AbdA) of AbdA

Description
A soy diet worsens the progression of an inherited form of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) in male mice when compared to casein-fed mice. Females are largely resistant to this diet effect and better preserve cardiac function. We hypothesized that the abundant phytoestrogens found in soy are mainly responsible for this diet-dependent phenotype. Indeed, feeding male mice a phytoestrogen-supplemented casein-based diet can recapitulate the negative outcome seen when male mice are fed a standard soy-based diet.

Description
Macrophages (MF) have been shown to contribute to fibrogenesis, however the underlying mechanisms and specific MF subsets involved remain unclear. Lung MF can be divided into two subsets: Siglec-Fhi resident alveolar MF and CD11bhi MF that primarily arise from immigrating monocytes. RNA-seq analysis was performed to compare these MF subsets during fibrosis. CD11bhi MF, not Siglec-Fhi MF, expressed high levels of pro-fibrotic chemokines and growth factors. Overall design: C56BL/6 WT mice were treated intratracheally with bleomycin. 8 days later, CD64+Mertk+ MF were sorted into Siglec-F(high) and CD11b(high) subsets. SiglecF(high) MF from naïve mice were also sorted. RNA was isolated and RNA-seq was performed to compare MF subsets.

Description
Activation of the MLL-ENL-ERtm oncogene initiates aberrant proliferation of myeloid progenitors. Here, we show induction of a fail-safe mechanism mediated by the DNA damage response (DDR) machinery that results in activation of the ATR/ATM-Chk1/Chk2-p53/p21 checkpoint and cellular senescence at early stages of cellular transformation caused by a regulatable MLL-ENL-ERtm in mice. Furthermore, we identified the transcription program underlying this intrinsic anti-cancer barrier, and DDR-induced inflammatory regulators that fine-tune the signaling towards senescence, thereby modulating the fate of MLL-ENL-immortalized cells in a tissue-environment-dependent manner. Our results indicate that DDR is a rate-limiting event for acquisition of stem cell-like properties in MLL-ENL-ERtm-mediated transformation, as experimental inhibition of the barrier accelerated the transition to immature cell states and acute leukemia development.

Description
Impaired muscle growth as a result of IUGR is a major contributor to lifelong reductions in muscle mass (sarcopenia) and metabolic disease risk. We use an ovine model of chronic placental insufficiency which restricts nutrient supply from mother to fetus and results in intrauterine growth restriction. In our model of placental insufficiency and IUGR, fetal hindlimb muscles weigh less than normally-grown control fetuses and have smaller myofiber diameters.

Myoblast replication is reduced in the IUGR fetus despite maintained proliferative capacity in vitro.
