Affymetrix Human Gene 1.0 ST Array (hugene10st)
Description
Purpose: Epidemiological and intervention studies have attempted to link the health effects of a diet rich in fruits and vegetables with the consumption of polyphenols and their impact in neurodegenerative diseases. Studies have shown that polyphenols can cross the intestinal barrier and reach concentrations in the bloodstream able to exert effects in vivo. However, the effective uptake of polyphenols in the brain is still regarded with some reservations. Here we describe a combination of approaches to examine the putative transport of blackberry-digested polyphenols (BDP) across the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and ultimate evaluation of their beneficial effects.

- Affymetrix Rat Gene 2.1 ST Array (ragene21st)
Description
We used old (~96-102 weeks of age) and young (~28-34 weeks of age) rats from HCR and LCR generations 29 and 32, respectively. The study included eight groups; HCR-Old-Exhausted (H-O-E, n=6), HCR-Old-Rest (H-O-R, n=6), HCR-Young-Exhausted (H-Y-E, n=6), HCR- Young -Rest (H-Y-R, n=6), LCR-Old-Exhausted (L-O-E, n=6), LCR-Old-Rest (L-O-R, n=6), LCR-Young-Exhausted (L-Y-E, n=6), and LCR- Young -Rest (L-Y-R, n=6). For the exhausted rats, dissections were performed within 10 min after the maximal running distance was reached.

Description
Plants exhibit a robust transcriptional response to gamma radiation which includes the induction of transcripts required for homologous recombination and the suppression of transcripts that promote cell cycle progression. Various DNA damaging agents induce different spectra of DNA damage as well as collateral damage to other cellular components and therefore are not expected to provoke identical responses by the cell.
Publication Title
High atomic weight, high-energy radiation (HZE) induces transcriptional responses shared with conventional stresses in addition to a core "DSB" response specific to clastogenic treatments.

Description
Iron is an essential trace element whose absorption is usually tightly regulated in the duodenum. HFE-related hereditary hemochromatosis (HH) is characterized by abnormally low expression of the iron-regulatory hormone, hepcidin, which results in increased iron absorption. The liver is crucial for iron homeostasis as it is the main production site of hepcidin. The aim of this study was to explore and compare the genome-wide transcriptome response to Hfe deficiency and dietary iron overload in murine liver and duodenum.

Affymetrix Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 Array (hgu133plus2)
Description
The molecular pathways which are activated and contribute to physiological remodeling of skeletal muscle in response to endurance exercise have not been fully characterized. We previously reported that ~800 gene transcripts are regulated following 6 weeks of supervised endurance training in young sedentary males, referred to as the training responsive transcriptome (TRT). Here we utilized this database together with data on biological variation in muscle adaptation to aerobic endurance training in both humans and a novel out-bred rodent model to study the potential regulatory molecules that coordinate this complex network of genes. We identified three DNA sequences representing RUNX1, SOX9, and PAX3 transcription factor binding sites as over-represented in the TRT. In turn, miRNA profiling indicated that several miRNAs targeting RUNX1, SOX9 and PAX3 were down-regulated by endurance training. The TRT was then examined by contrasting subjects who demonstrated the least vs. the greatest improvement in aerobic capacity (low vs. high responders), and at least 100 of the 800 TRT genes were differentially regulated, thus suggesting regulation of these genes may be important for improving aerobic capacity. In high responders, pro-angiogenic and tissue developmental networks emerged as key candidates for coordinating tissue aerobic adaptation. Beyond RNA level validation there were several DNA variants that associated with VO(2)max trainability in the HERITAGE Family Study but these did not pass conservative Bonferroni adjustment. In addition, in a rat model selected across 10 generations for high aerobic training responsiveness, we found that both the TRT and a homologous subset of the human high responder genes were regulated to a greater degree in high responder rodent skeletal muscle. This analysis provides a comprehensive map of the transcriptomic features important for aerobic exercise-induced improvements in maximal oxygen consumption.

Description
Purpose: Aerobic capacity is a strong predictor of cardiovascular mortality. To determine the relationship between inborn aerobic capacity and soleus gene expression we examined genome-wide gene expression in soleus muscle of rats artificially selected for high and low running capacity (HCR and LCR, respectively) over 16 generations. The artificial selection of LCR caused accumulation of risk factors of cardiovascular disease similar to the metabolic syndrome seen in man, whereas HCR had markedly better cardiac function. We also studied alterations in gene expression in response to exercise training in the two groups, since accumulating evidence indicates that exercise has profound beneficial effects on the metabolic syndrome.

Description
Aerobic capacity is a strong predictor of cardiovascular mortality. To determine the relationship between aerobic capacity and cardiac gene expression we examined genome-wide gene expression in hearts of rats artificially selected for high- and low running capacity (HCR and LCR, respectively) over 16 generations. HCR were born with an athletic phenotype, whereas LCR exhibited features of the metabolic syndrome.

Description
Peptide immunotherapy aims to specifically restore tolerance to the administered self-antigen and prevent autoimmunity without the perturbation of normal immune function. We have developed a dose escalation protocol for subcutaneous delivery of the MHC II-restricted myelin basic protein peptide analogue Ac1-9[4Y] to T cell receptor transgenic (Tg4) mice. Dose escalation allows safe administration of high doses of peptide, which effectively induces antigen-specific tolerance and suppresses the development of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis, a model for the human condition multiple sclerosis. CD4+ T cells isolated from treated mice are anergic and suppressive in vitro and respond to stimulation by secretion of the immunoregulatory cytokine IL-10. To understand the molecular changes occurring throughout the course of dose-escalation immunotherapy, we undertook microarray analysis of CD4+ T cells at different the stages of treatment, using Tg4 Rag-1 deficient mice, which lack naturally occurring regulatory T cells and have a monoclonal CD4+ T cell population
