Affymetrix Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 Array (hgu133plus2)
Description
APRIL (TNFSF13) is a ligand of the TNF superfamily which binds to two receptors, BCMA and TACI. We have found that APRIL and its receptor BCMA are specifically enhanced in hepatocellular carcinoma, as compared to non-cancerous liver tissue. We further identified that HepG2 cells present the same ligand/receptor pattern as human hepatocellular carcinomas. We investigated the role of APRIL in HepG2 gene expression in a time course study.
Publication Title
APRIL binding to BCMA activates a JNK2-FOXO3-GADD45 pathway and induces a G2/M cell growth arrest in liver cells.

Description
To better understand the scale of gene expression changes that occur during the formation of mature adipocytes from preadipocytes, we compared and characterised the transcriptome profile of mesenchymal stromal cells derived from human adipose tissue, otherwise known as adipose-derived stromal cells (ASCs), undergoing adipocyte differentiation on day 1, 7, 14 and 21 (representing the early to late stage process of adipogenesis). Microarray technique was systematically employed to study gene expression in adipose-derived stromal cells during adipogenic differentiation over a 21 day period to identify genes that are important in driving adipogenesis in humans.
Publication Title
Genome-wide analysis of gene expression during adipogenesis in human adipose-derived stromal cells reveals novel patterns of gene expression during adipocyte differentiation.

Description
Human placental development is characterized by invasion of extravillous cytotrophoblasts (EVCTs) into the uterine wall during the first trimester of pregnancy. Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARG) plays a major role in placental development, and activation of PPARG by its agonists results in inhibition of EVCT invasion in vitro. To identify PPARG target genes, microarray analysis was performed using GeneChip technology on EVCT primary cultures obtained from first-trimester human placentas. Gene expression was compared in EVCTs treated with the PPARG agonist rosiglitazone versus control. A total of 139 differentially regulated genes were identified, and changes in the expression of the following 8 genes were confirmed by reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction: a disintegrin and metalloproteinase domain12 (ADAM12), connexin 43 (CX43), deleted in liver cancer 1 (DLC1), dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP4), heme oxygenase 1 (HMOX-1), lysyl oxidase (LOX), plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 (PAI-1) and PPARG. Among the upregulated genes, lysyl oxidase (LOX) was further analyzed. In the LOX family, only LOX, LOXL1 and LOXL2 mRNA expression was significantly upregulated in rosiglitazone-treated EVCTs. RNA and protein expression of the subfamily members LOX, LOXL1 and LOXL2 were analyzed by absolute RT-qPCR and western blotting, and localized by immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence-confocal microscopy. LOX protein was immunodetected in the EVCT cytoplasm, while LOXL1 was found in the nucleus and nucleolus. No signal was detected for LOXL2 protein. Specific inhibition of LOX activity by beta-aminopropionitrile in cell invasion assays led to an increase in EVCT invasiveness. These results suggest that LOX, LOXL1 and LOXL2 are downstream PPARG targets and that LOX activity is a negative regulator of trophoblastic cell invasion.

Description
Reduced oxygen availability during embryogenesis leads to intra-uterine growth restriction (IUGR), increasing the risk for hypertension, cardiovascular and chronic kidney disease (CKD) in adults. Although this association has long been recognized, underlying mechanisms still require extensive research.

Description
Patient-derived xenograft models are considered to represent the heterogeneity of human cancers and might be more relevant preclinical models to evaluate effective therapeutic agents. Our consortium joins efforts to extensively develop and characterize a new collection of patient-derived colorectal cancer models. From 86 unsupervised surgical colon sample collection, 54 tumors were successfully xenografted in immunodeficient mice and rats, representing 35 primary tumors, 5 peritoneal carcinosis and 14 metastases. Our histological and molecular characterization of patient tumors, first passage on mice and later passages includes the sequence of key genes involved in CRC (ie APC, KRAS, TP53), CGH array and transcriptomic analysis. This comprehensive characterization demonstrates that our collection recapitulates the clinical situation regarding the histopathological and molecular diversity of colorectal cancers. Moreover, patient tumors and corresponding models are clustering together which gives the opportunity to look for relevant signatures and comparison studies between clinical and preclinical data. Hence, we performed pharmacological monotherapy studies with standard of care for colon cancer (5-FU, oxaliplatin, irinotecan, cetuximab). Through this extensive in vivo analysis, we have compared the molecular profile with the drug sensitivity of each tumor models, and run an equivalent of a cetuximab phase II clinical trial in a preclinical setting. Our results confirm the key role of KRAS mutation in the cetuximab resistance and demonstrate that such collection could bring benefit to evaluate novel targeted therapeutic strategies and potentially help the stratification strategy for cancer patients according to molecular marker. This set correspond to 82 CGH profiles, with 7 samples from patient tumor and 75 samples from mouse xenograft at different passages P0 to P9. All hybridizations are performed with Human CGH 244K Agilent arrays (amadid 014693) in dual color with Human DNA Promega (sex matched) as reference. ID for biosources without an -Px suffix correspond to tumor patients. ID with a suffix correspond to xenograft with 0 for the first passage.

Description
In human cells, Staufen1 is double-stranded RNA-binding protein involved in several cellular functions including mRNA localization, translation and decay. We used a genome wide approach to identify and compare the mRNA targets of mammalian Staufen1. The mRNA content of Staufen1 mRNPs was identified by probing DNA microarrays with probes derived from mRNAs isolated from immunopurified Staufen-containing complexes following transfection of HEK293T cells with a Stau1-HA expressor. Our results indicate that 7% of the cellular RNAs expressed in HEK293T cells are found in Stau1-containing mRNPs. There is a predominance of mRNAs involved in cell metabolism, transport, transcription, regulation of cell processes and catalytic activity.
Publication Title
A genome-wide approach identifies distinct but overlapping subsets of cellular mRNAs associated with Staufen1- and Staufen2-containing ribonucleoprotein complexes.

Description
In human cells, Staufen2 is a double-stranded RNA-binding protein involved in several cellular functions. Although 51% identical to Staufen1, these proteins are nevertheless found in different RNA particles. In addition, differential splicing events generate Staufen2 isoforms that only differ at their N-terminal extremities. We used a genome wide approach to identify and compare the mRNA targets of mammalian Staufen2 isoforms. The mRNA content of Staufen mRNPs was identified by probing DNA microarrays with probes derived from mRNAs isolated from immunopurified Staufen2-containing complexes following transfection of HEK293T cells with Stau2-HA (59kDa) or Stau2-HA (62kDa) expressors. Our results indicate that 11% of the cellular RNAs expressed in HEK293T cells are found in Stau2-containing mRNPs. There is a predominance of mRNAs involved in cell metabolism, transport, transcription, regulation of cell processes and catalytic activity.
