Description
The evolutionarily conserved Wnt/?-catenin signaling pathway plays a fundamental role during metazoan development, regulating numerous processes including cell fate specification, cell migration, and stem cell renewal. Wnt ligand binding leads to stabilization of the transcriptional effector ?-catenin and upregulation of target gene expression to mediate a cellular response. During larval development of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, Wnt/?-catenin pathways act in fate specification of two hypodermal cell types, the ventral vulval precursor cells (VPCs) and the lateral seam cells. Because little is known about targets of the Wnt signaling pathways acting during larval VPC and seam cell differentiation, we sought to identify genes regulated by Wnt signaling in these two hypodermal cell types. We conditionally activated Wnt signaling in larval animals and performed cell type?specific "mRNA tagging" to enrich for VPC and seam cell?specific mRNAs, and then used microarray analysis to examine gene expression compared to control animals. Two hundred thirty-nine genes activated in response to Wnt signaling were identified, and we characterized 50 genes further. The majority of these genes are expressed in seam and/or vulval lineages during normal development, and reduction of function for nine genes caused defects in the proper division, fate specification, fate execution, or differentiation of seam cells and vulval cells. Therefore, the combination of these techniques was successful at identifying potential cell type?specific Wnt pathway target genes from a small number of cells and at increasing our knowledge of the specification and behavior of these C. elegans larval hypodermal cells.

Description
Mild vs. severe psoriasis vulgaris is often distinguished by the Psoriasis Area and Severity Index. It is widely assumed that severe psoriasis involves higher levels of skin inflammation, but comparative molecular profiles of mild vs. severe disease have not been previously performed. In this study, we used gene arrays to phenotype North American patients with mild psoriasis vs. severe psoriasis.

Description
S. epidermidis ability to form biofilms on indwelling medical devices and its association with the emergence of chronic infections is its main virulence factor. Nevertheless, it has been shown that the cells released from these biofilms are associated with the advent of serious acute infections with bacteraemia as one of the major clinical manifestations. Despite their clinical relevance, very little is known about the impact of biofilm-released cells in pathogenesis. Hence, herein, we characterized the murine immune response to the presence of cells released from S. epidermidis biofilms analysing spleen cells transcriptome by microarrays. These findings may help to explain the recurrent inflammatory symptoms presented by patients with colonization of indwelling medical devices.

To understand the mechanism of disease progression in psoriasis, we defined Asian small plaque psoriasis (small psoriasis) and Asian intermediate plaque psoriasis (intermediate psoriasis) as psoriasis subtypes with limited disease progression, and compared their cellular and molecular signatures with the classic subtype of Western large plaque psoriasis (large psoriasis; GSE30999).

Description
This study analyzes transcriptome profiles in pre-germinated seeds and hypoxia-treated seedlings of Arabidopsis thaliana wild type (Col-0) and homozygous mutants (prt6-1 and ate1 ate2). This dataset includes CEL files, RMA signal values and MAS5 P/M/A calls. For pre-germinated seeds, seeds imbibed for 24 h were used for total RNA extraction. For hypoxia treatment, 7-d-old seedlings were incubated in a hypoxia chamber for 2 h and the entire seedling was subjected to RNA extraction. Quantitative profiling of cellular mRNAs was accomplished with the Affymetrix ATH1 platform. Changes in the transcriptome during early seed germination stage and in response to hypoxia in seedlings were evaluated. The data led to identification of mRNAs with abundance regulated by PRT6 and ATE1 / ATE2, which are essential components for the N-end rule pathway of targeted proteolysis (NERP). A combination of genetic, biochemical and molecular analyses reveal that NERP coordinates the stability of key ethylene responsive factor (ERF) family transcription factors, which regulate expression of core hypoxia response genes and tolerance to low oxygen stress. This indicates that the NERP functions as a homeostatic sensor of low oxygen in plants.

Description
The presence of the PUF (Pumilio/FBF) domain defines a conserved family of RNA-binding proteins involved in repressing gene expression. It has been suggested that a conserved function of PUF proteins is to repress differentiation and sustain the mitotic proliferation of stem cells. In humans, Pumilio2 (PUM2) is expressed in embryonic stem cells and adult germ cells.

PUMILIO-2 is involved in the positive regulation of cellular proliferation in human adipose-derived stem cells.
