Affymetrix Mouse Genome 430 2.0 Array (mouse4302)
Description
A deletion in the CMAH gene in humans occurred approximately 3.5 million years ago. This resulted in the inactivation of the CMP-Neu5Ac hydroxylase enzyme, and hence, in the specific deficiency in N-glycolylneuraminic acid (Neu5Gc), a form of sialic acid, in all modern humans. Although there is evidence that this molecular milestone in the origin of humans may have led to the evolution of human-specific pathogens, how deficiency in Neu5Gc might alter progression of non-infectious human diseases remains unanswered. Here, we have investigated cardiac and skeletal muscle gene expression changes in mdx mice, a model of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), that do or do not carry the human-like inactivating mutation in the mouse Cmah gene. We have evidence that Neu5Gc-deficiency in humans might explain some of the discrepancies in the disease phenotype between mdx mice and DMD patients.

Description
To try to investigate the mechanism behind the adaptive phenotypes observed in a mice model model of HD crossed with mGluR5 knockout, we analyzed whether mutated huntingtin (Htt) expression in a mGluR5 null background could be altering the expression of genes that might be involved in the pattern of Htt aggregation and HD-related locomotor alterations.

- Affymetrix Human Gene 1.0 ST Array (hugene10st)
Description
Members of rhinovirus C (RV-C) species are more likely to cause wheezing illnesses and asthma exacerbations compared to other rhinoviruses. The cellular receptor for these viruses was heretofore unknown. We measured gene expression (Human Gene 1.0 ST Array, Affymetrix) in two series of experiments involving cells that were either susceptible or not susceptible to RV-C infection. In one experimental series, susceptible cells included whole sinus mucosal tissue specimens (n = 5), epithelial cell suspension from sinus tissue, and nasal epithelium obtained via brushing, while non-susceptible cells included monolayers of primary undifferentiated epithelial cells and transformed cell lines (n = 5). In a second experimental series, we compared three pairs of undifferentiated and fully differentiated (ALI) sinus epithelial cell cultures. We identified a total of 12 genes upregulated in RV-C susceptible cells (represented by 14 probe sets) encoding proteins localized to plasma membrane, and/or with predicted or functionally demonstrated receptor activity, including members of the Human MHC class II, stomatin, guanine nucleotide-binding, type I cytokine and atypical chemokine receptor and cadherin protein families.

Description
Recent studies suggest that thousands of genes may contribute to breast cancer pathophysiologies when deregulated by genomic or epigenomic events. Here, we describe a model system to appraise the functional contributions of these genes to breast cancer subsets. In general, the recurrent genomic and transcriptional characteristics of 51 breast cancer cell lines mirror those of 145 primary breast tumors, although some significant differences are documented. The cell lines that comprise the system also exhibit the substantial genomic, transcriptional, and biological heterogeneity found in primary tumors. We show, using Trastuzumab (Herceptin) monotherapy as an example, that the system can be used to identify molecular features that predict or indicate response to targeted therapies or other physiological perturbations.

Description
Saccharomyces cerevisiae flocculation occurs when fermentable sugars are limiting and is therefore considered as a way to enhance the survival chance of Flo-expressing yeast cells. In this paper, the role of Flo1p in mating was demonstrated by showing that the mating efficiency, which contributes to the increased survival rate as well by generating genetic variability, is increased when cells flocculate. This was revealed by liquid growth experiments in a low shear environment and differential transcriptome analysis of FLO1 expressing cells compared to the non-flocculent wild-type cells. The results show that a floc provides a uniquely organized multicellular ultrastructure that provides a suitable microenvironment to induce and perform cell conjugation.

Description
Premature progesterone (P) rise during GnRH antagonist cycles for IVF is a frequent phenomenon and has been associated with lower pregnancy and implantation rates. Different thresholds of progesterone have been used so far to define its premature rise during the follicular phase of an IVF stimulated cycle. In this study, we evaluated endometrial gene expression on the day of oocyte retrieval according to the level of serum progesterone on the day of hCG administration in GnRH antagonist cycles.Endometrial biopsies from eleven patients were taken with a Pipelle de Cornier (Prodimed, Neuilly-en-Thelle, France) on the day of oocyte retrieval in a GnRH antagonist/rec-FSH stimulated IVF cycle with fresh embryo transfer. Biopsies were analysed for gene expression with Affymetrix Human Genome (HG) U133 Plus 2.0 Arrays and GCOS software (Affymetrix, Santa Clara, CA, USA). Patients were divided into three different groups according to their progesterone serum concentration on the day of hCG administration (A) P <= 0.9 ng/mL, (B) 1 < P < 1.5 ng/mL, and (C) P > 1.5 ng/mL. Serum P was measured with the automated Elecsys immunoanalyser (Roche Diagnostics, Mannheim, Germany). Selected differentially expressed genes were validated with quantitative real-time PCR (QPCR) with TaqMan Gene Expression Assays (Applied Biosystems, Foster City, CA, USA).
