Affymetrix Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 Array (hgu133plus2)
Description
Objective: Resident macrophages play an important role in atheromatous plaque rupture. The macrophage gene expression signature associated with plaque rupture is incompletely defined due to the complex cellular heterogeneity in the plaque. We aimed to characterise differential gene expression in resident plaque macrophages from ruptured and stable human atheromatous lesions. A cell-specific approach has the potential to address the question of gene expression differences between particular cell types in stable and unstable plaques with greater precision than approaches based on the study of whole plaques. Using laser micro-dissection, we isolated total RNA from macrophage-rich regions of stable and ruptured human atheromatous plaques derived from carotid endarterectomy samples which were comprehensively characterized using clinical, radiological and histological criteria, and carried out genome-wide gene expression profiling using microarrays.

Description
Dosage compensation was referred as an equalized X chromosome gene expression between males and females in Drosophila. And inverse dosage effects, produced by genomic imbalance, are believed to account for this modulated expression. Here we made a global expression comparison of trisomy 2L with on extra copy of chromosome 2 long arm to normal diploid with two copies of 2L with high throughput RNA-sequencing. We want to test how about the gene expression pattern changes in those comparisons, including the genes on varied chromosome 2 long arm, some other autosomal genes except chromosome 2L and X chromosome genes. Dosage compensation with an expression level similar to normal diploid and inverse dosage effects should be detected. Overall design: Comapare the global expression of trisomy 2L samples with the normal diploids Collected the females and males from trisomy 2L and Cantons and performed RNA-seq

- Affymetrix Mouse Genome 430 2.0 Array (mouse4302)
Description
In this study, we have used techniques from cell biology, biochemistry, and genetics to investigate the role of the tyrosine phosphatase Shp2 in tumor cells of MMTV-PyMT mouse mammary glands. Genetic ablation or pharmacological inhibition of Shp2 induces senescence, as determined by the activation of senescence-associated -gal (SA--gal), cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 1B (p27), p53, and histone 3 trimethylated lysine 9 (H3K9me3). Senescence induction leads to inhibition of self-renewal of tumor cells and blockage of tumor formation and growth. A signaling cascade was identified that acts downstream of Shp2 to counter senescence: Src, Focal adhesion kinase and Map kinase inhibit senescence by activating the expression of S-phase kinase-associated protein 2 (Skp2), Aurora kinase A (Aurka), and the Notch ligand Delta-like 1 (Dll1), which block p27 and p53. Remarkably, the expression of Shp2 and of selected target genes predicts human breast cancer outcome. We conclude that therapies which rely on senescence induction by inhibiting Shp2 or controlling its target gene products may be useful in blocking breast cancer.

Description
The combined activation of Wnt/-catenin and MET/HGF is required for mammary cancer stem cell (MaCSC) maintenance. We generated mammospheres derived from tumors of mice harboring Wnt/Met signaling mutations on which we performed microarray analysis to evaluate gene expression signatures controlled by Wnt and MET pathways. We used the gene expression profiles to dissect the role and the functions of these pathways in MaCSCs.

Description
We explored the connection between C/EBPa (CCAAT/enhancer binding protein a) and Wnt signaling in gut homeostasis and carcinogenesis. C/EBPa was expressed in human and murine intestinal epithelia in the transit amplifying region of the crypts and was absent in intestinal stem cells and Paneth cells with activated Wnt signaling. In human colorectal cancer and murine APCMin/+ polyps, C/EBPa was absent from nuclear ß-catenin–positive tumor cells. In chemically induced intestinal carcinogenesis, C/EBPa KO in murine gut epithelia increased tumor volume. C/EBPa deletion extended the S-phase cell zone in intestinal organoids and activated typical proliferation gene expression signatures, including that of Wnt target genes. Genetic activation of ß-catenin in organoids attenuated C/EBPa expression. Comparing gene expression of wild type and C/EBPa KO organoids by RNA sequencing aimed to identify C/EBPa dependent alterations in gene expression. Overall design: These data suggest homeostatic and oncogenic suppressor functions of C/EBPa in the gut by restricting Wnt signaling.
