View SamplesLittle is known about how pro-obesity diets regulate tissue stem and progenitor cell function. Here we find that high fat diet (HFD)-induced obesity augments the numbers and function of Lgr5+ intestinal stem cells (ISCs) of the mammalian intestine. Like HFD, ex vivo treatment of intestinal organoid cultures with palmitic acid (PA), a constituent of the HFD, enhances the self-renewal potential of these organoid bodies. Mechanistically, HFD induces a robust peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor delta (PPAR-delta signature in intestinal stem and progenitor cells and pharmacologic activation of PPAR-delta recapitulates the effects that HFD has on these cells. Interestingly, HFD- and agonist-activated PPAR-delta signaling endows organoid-initiating capacity to non-stem cells and enforced PPAR-delta signaling permits these non-stem cells to form in vivo tumors upon loss of the tumor suppressor Apc. These findings highlight how diet-modulated PPAR-delta activation alters not only the function of intestinal stem and progenitor cells but also their capacity to initiate tumors. Overall design: mRNA profiles of intestinal stem cells (GFP-Hi) and progenitors (GFP-Low) from WT or HFD fed mice were generated by deep sequencing using HiSeq 2000.

View SamplesOur study involves a transcriptomic approach to the analysis of industrial yeast metabolism. Historically, among the hundreds of yeast species, Saccharomyces cerevisiae has played an important role in scientific investigations and industrial applications, and it is universally acknowledged as one of the model systems for eukaryotic organisms. Yeast is also an important component of the wine fermentation process and determines various attributes of the final product.

View SamplesHuman samples of 33 adrenocortical carcinomas, 22 adrenocortical adenomas, and 10 normal adrenal cortex samples, each from a different patient, had mRNA assays performed using Affymetrix HG_U133_plus_2 arrays, with 54675 probe-sets. We note that the same array data is in GEO series GSE33371, where we assayed the cancer samples for Beta-catenin staining or mutation, and make new comparisons based on those assays.

View SamplesTwenty-one genes (27 probe sets) were up-regulated in CAF, as compared with NF. Known functions of these genes relate to paracrine or intracellular signaling, transcriptional regulation, extracellular matrix and cell adhesion/migration. Ten genes (14 probe sets) were down-regulated in CAF, including the pluripotency transcription factor KLF4. Quantitative RTPCR analysis of 10 genes validated the array results. Immunohistochemical staining for three gene products confirmed stromal expression in terms of location and relative quantity. Surprisingly, the variability of gene expression was slightly higher in NF than in CAF, suggesting inter-individual heterogeneity of normal stroma.
