Affymetrix Mouse Genome 430 2.0 Array (mouse4302)
Description
Mammalian gonadal sex determination is dependent on proper expression of sex determining genes in fetal gonadal somatic support cells (i.e., pre-granulosa and pre-Sertoli cells in XX and XY gonads, resp.). We used a unique transgenic mouse strain combined with microarray profiling to identify all the differentially expressed transcripts in XX and XY isolated somatic support cells during critical stages of gonadal development and differentiation.
Publication Title
New candidate genes identified for controlling mouse gonadal sex determination and the early stages of granulosa and Sertoli cell differentiation.

- Affymetrix Mouse Genome 430 2.0 Array (mouse4302)
Description
Gonadal sex determining (GSD) genes that initiate fetal ovarian and testicular development and differentiation are expressed in the cells of the urogenital ridge that differentiate as somatic support cells (SSCs), i.e., granulosa cells of the ovary and Sertoli cells of the testis. To identify potential new mammalian GSD genes, we analyzed the gene expression differences between XX and XY SSCs cells isolated from the gonads of embryonic day (E) 13 mouse fetuses carrying an EGFP reporter transgene expressed specifically in SSCs. In addition, genome wide expression differences between XX and XY E13 whole gonads were examined. Newly identified differentially expressed transcripts are potential GSD genes involved in unexplained human sex reversal cases.

- Affymetrix Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 Array (hgu133plus2)
Description
In humans, the embryonic genome activation (EGA) program is functional by day 3 after fertilization. The 6-8 cell stage embryo (day 3 post-fertilization) starts the process of compaction that leads to the generation of the tightly organized cell mass of the morula and is followed by differentiation of the morula into a blastocyst. The transition from day 3 embryos to day 5 blastocysts is likely to be controlled by many and specific changes in the expression of different genes. We used mRNA amplification technique and compared the transcriptomes of day 3 human embryos and trophectoderm (TE) cells from day 5 human blastocysts to identify transcripts that are differentially expressed during the embryo-to-TE transition and involved in the TE specification.
Publication Title
Transcriptome analysis during human trophectoderm specification suggests new roles of metabolic and epigenetic genes.

Description
To identify the CD4+ T cell cytokines responsible for the proliferation of the Lin-IEL lines CD4+ T cell clone L10, which recognises DQ2-glia-1, one of the immunodominant T cell epitopes in celiac disease, was stimulated for 3 hours in IMDM with plate-bound CD3/CD28-specific (2.5 g/ml each) or control antibodies coated onto 6-well non-tissue culture treated plates. Three independent biological replicates were performed, each time including 6 million Ficoll-purified live cells per condition. RNA was purified from these cells using the RNAeasy mini kit (Qiagen, Venlo, the Netherlands). cDNA was amplified using the Applause WT-Amp system (NuGEN technologies, Bemmel, the Netherlands) and biotin-labelled with the Encore Biotin Module (NuGEN). Human Gene 1.0 ST arrays (Affymetrix, High Wycombe, UK) were employed to quantify global gene expression.

Description
Precise regulation of stem cell self-renewal and differentiation properties is essential for tissue homeostasis. Using the adult Drosophila intestine to study molecular mechanisms controlling stem cell properties, we identify the gene split-ends (spen) in a genetic screen as a novel regulator of intestinal stem cell fate. Spen family genes encode conserved RNA recognition motif-containing proteins that are reported to have roles in RNA splicing and transcriptional regulation. We demonstrate that spen loss of function in intestinal stem cells results in an abnormal increase in the number of stem cell-like cells and that Spen acts to control early commitment events of the stem cells. Using two-color cell sorting of stem cells and their daughters, we characterize spen-dependent changes in RNA abundance and exon usage, and find potential key regulators downstream of spen. Our work identifies spen as an important regulator of adult stem cells in the Drosophila intestine, provides new insight to Spen-family protein functions, and may also shed light on Spen's mode of action in other developmental contexts. Overall design: Three biological replicates were sequenced per each 4 conditions

Description
Epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) in cancer cells has been associated with metastasis, stemness and resistance to therapy. The reason why some tumors undergo EMT and other not might reflect intrinsic properties of their cell of origin, although this possibility is largely unexplored. By targeting the same oncogenic mutations to discrete skin compartments, we show cell type-specific chromatin and transcriptional states differentially prime tumors to EMT. Squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs) derived from intrafollicular epidermis (IFE) are generally well-differentiated, while hair follicle (HF) stem cell-derived SCCs frequently exhibit EMT, efficiently form secondary tumors, and possess increased metastatic potential. Transcriptional and epigenomic profiling revealed IFE and HF tumor-initiating cells possess distinct chromatin landscapes and gene regulatory networks associated with tumorigenesis and EMT that correlate with accessibility of key epithelial and EMT transcription factor binding sites. These findings highlight the importance of chromatin states and transcriptional priming in dictating tumor phenotypes and EMT.
