In euakryotes, mRNAs must be exported from the nucleus to the cytsoplasm. NXF2 is highly expressed in the mouse male germ cells. We are interested in its function in spermatogenesis, espically in the nuclear RNA export in the testis. To this end, we made Nxf2 mutant mice by gene targeting. In an attempt to identify the mRNA substrates of NXF2, we perform the microarray experiments on testes.
Inactivation of Nxf2 causes defects in male meiosis and age-dependent depletion of spermatogonia.

View SamplesAutophagy is a homeostatic cellular process involved in the degradation of long-lived/damaged cellular components. The role of autophagy in adipogenesis is well recognized, but its role in mature adipocyte function is largely unknown. We show that the autophagy proteins Atg3 and Atg16L1 are required for proper mitochondrial function in mature adipocytes. In contrast to previous studies, we found that post-developmental ablation of autophagy causes peripheral insulin resistance independently of diet or adiposity. Finally, lack of adipocyte autophagy reveals a - cross talk between fat and liver mediated by lipid peroxide-induced Nrf2 signaling. Our data reveal a - role for autophagy in preventing lipid peroxide formation and their transfer in insulin-sensitive peripheral tissues Overall design: Epididymal adipose tissue from 4 WT and 4 Adiponectin-Cre Atg3f/f male mice fed chow diet

View SamplesThe ER alpha positive breast cancer MCF7 cells were treated with ER alpha antagonist ICI182780 in normoxia and hypoxia. Extracted RNA was subject to microarray analysis. The goal of the experiment is to assess the ICI182780 effect on breast cancer cell in both normoxia and hypoxia.
Estrogen receptor-α directly regulates the hypoxia-inducible factor 1 pathway associated with antiestrogen response in breast cancer.

View SamplesPurpose: We aimed to investigate in depth the regulation of microRNA expression by hypoxia in the breast cancer cell line MCF-7, establish the relationship between microRNA expression and HIF binding sites, pri-miRNA transcription and microRNA processing gene expression. Methods: microRNA sequencing data and gene expression microarray data were generated from MCF-7 cells submitted to an hypoxia timecourse (16h, 32h and 48h at 1% Oxygen). Data was integrated to 500 published high-stringency HIF binding sites identified in MCF-7 cells. Results: We identified 41 microRNAs significantly up- and 28 down- regulated, of which 38 mature and 20 star forms are reported in conjunction with hypoxia for the first time. HIF-1a and HIF-2a binding sites within 50kb distance of microRNA loci were found by integration of HIF ChIP-seq data, showing overall association between binding sites and up-regulation. Gene expression profiling analysis showed no full coordination between pri-miRNA and microRNA expression, pointing towards additional levels of regulation. Several transcripts playing a role in microRNA processing were found regulated by hypoxia, of which two were HIF dependent. Conclusions: The data support the hypothesis that microRNA expression under hypoxia is regulated at transcriptional and post-transcriptional level. HIF is involved at both levels, regulating the transcription of certain microRNAs and also the expression of key elements of the microRNA processing pathway. Overall design: microRNA-seq profiles of MCF-7 exposed to hypoxia (1% Oxygen) for 16h (2 replicates), 32h (2 replicates) and 48h (2 replicates) and to normoxia (2 replicates) were generated using Illumina sequencing platform.
Integrated analysis of microRNA and mRNA expression and association with HIF binding reveals the complexity of microRNA expression regulation under hypoxia.

At the end point, collect tumour samples and extracted total RNA for microarray to investigate the gene profile changes compared to control. These include the genes from human tumour cells and mouse host stroma cells.
A core human primary tumor angiogenesis signature identifies the endothelial orphan receptor ELTD1 as a key regulator of angiogenesis.
