Affymetrix Mouse Gene 1.0 ST Array (mogene10st)
Description
We used the microarray analysis to determine the differential gene expression profiles in mouse uterine luminal epithelium between preimplantation gestation day 3.5 and postimplantation gestation day 4.5, and investigeate the molecular mechanism of the establishment of uterine receptivity and embryo implantation. Uterine luminal epithelium (LE) is critical for the establishment of uterine receptivity during embryo implantation. Many genes are known to have differential expression in the periimplantation LE but the global profiling of the altered genes in the periimplantation LE is unknown. To fill in this knowledge gap, microarray analysis was performed in gestation day 3.5 (D3.5, preimplantation) and D4.5 (postimplantation) mouse LE from natural pregnancy. There were 382 significantly upregulated and 245 significantly downregulated genes (>2 fold, P<0.05) in the D4.5 LE.

Description
Coupling immunity and development is essential to ensure survival despite changing internal conditions in the organism. The metamorphosis of the fruit fly represents a striking example of drastic and systemic physiological changes that need to be integrated with the innate immune system. However, the mechanisms that coordinate development and immune cell activity in the transition from larva to adult in Drosophila remain to elucidate. The steroid hormone ecdysone is known to act as a key coordinator of metamorphosis. This hormone activates a nuclear receptor, the Ecdysone Receptor (EcR), which acts as a heterodimer with its partner Ultraspiracle (USP). Together, they activate the transcription of primary response genes, which in turn activate the transcription of a battery of late response genes. We have revealed that regulation of macrophage-like cells (hemocytes) by the steroid hormone ecdysone is essential for an effective innate immune response over metamorphosis. We have shown that in response to ecdysone signalling, hemocytes rapidly up regulate actin dynamics, motility and phagocytosis of apoptotic corpses, and acquire the ability to chemotax to damaged epithelia. Most importantly, individuals lacking ecdysone-activated hemocytes are defective in bacterial phagocytosis and are fatally susceptible to infection by bacteria ingested at larval stages, despite the normal systemic production of antimicrobial peptides. This decrease in survival is comparable to the one observed in pupae lacking immune cells altogether, indicating that ecdysone-regulation is essential to hemocyte immune functions and survival after infection.

Description
To dissect the molecular mechanisms of PEA-15-mediated paclitaxel sensitization in ovarian cancer cells, we performed cDNA microarray analysis using SKOV3.ip1-S116A cells (Ser116 of PEA-15 substituted with alanine) and SKOV3.ip1-S116D cells (Ser116 of PEA-15 substituted with aspartic acid). cDNA microarray data analysis showed that SCLIP (SCG10-like protein), also known as STMN3, was highly expressed in SKOV3.ip1-S116D cells and was involved in pPEA-15-mediated paclitaxel sensitization in ovarian cancer cells.

Description
Aim: Transcriptional analysis of the duodenum of adult Nkx2.2flox/SD;Villin-Cre (SDint) mice versus control Methods: 2 cm of the duodenum (as measured from the stomach) of 6 week old control and mutant mice were dissected and total RNA extracted. Libraries were prepared from total RNA (RIN>8) with the TruSeq RNA prep kit (Illumina) and sequenced using the HiSeq2000 (Illumina) instrument. More than 20 million reads were mapped to the mouse genome (UCSC/mm9) using Tophat (version 2.0.4) with 4 mismatches and 10 maximum multiple hits. Significantly differentially expressed genes were calculated using DEseq. Results: 206 genes with a p-value <0.05 were significantly changed. Among these are some enteroendocrine hormones. Conclusion: The SD domain of Nkx2.2 regulates specification of some enteroendocrine cells Overall design: mRNA profiles of the duodenum of 6 week old control and SDint mice were generated by deep sequencing, in triplicate, using Illumina HiSeq2000.

Libraries were prepared from total RNA (RIN>8) with the TruSeq RNA prep kit (Illumina) and sequenced using the HiSeq2000 (Illumina) instrument. More than 20 million reads were mapped to the mouse genome (UCSC/mm9) using Tophat (version 2.0.4) with 4 mismatches and 10 maximum multiple hits. Significantly differentially expressed genes were calculated using DEseq. Results: 53 genes with a p-value <0.05 were down-regulated and 36 were up-regulated.

Description
We have performed a genome-wide analysis of common genetic variation controlling differential expression of transcript isoforms in the CEU HapMap population using a comprehensive exon tiling microarray covering 17,897 genes. We detected 324 genes with significant associations between flanking SNPs and transcript levels. Of these, 39% reflected changes in whole gene expression and 55% reflected transcript isoform changes such as splicing variants (exon skipping, alternate splice site usage, intron retention), differential 5 UTR (initiation of transcription) usage, and differential 3 UTR (alternative polyadenylation) usage.

Description
A subpopulation of pericytes expressing the Glast-CreERT2 transgene (Type A pericytes) has recently been identified as the main source of stromal scar tissue that forms after SCI. Identification of molecules associated with pericyte-derived scarring may offer new therapeutic targets to facilitate axon regeneration following central nervous system (CNS) injury. We conducted genome-wide RNA sequencing of (i) uninjured spinal cord segments and (ii) lesion sites presenting full or attenuated pericyte-derived scarring 14 days after SCI. Overall design: Adult Glast-Rasless-YFP (Glast-CreERT2 x R26R-YFP x Rasless) mice receiving vehicle (Veh) or tamoxifen (Tam) underwent dorsal hemisection at high thoracic level. Fourteen days after SCI, injury sites were dissected out, homogenized and total RNA was isolated from lesions presenting (i) dense (Veh, n=4) and (ii) attenuated (Tam, n=4) pericyte-derived scarring. Age-matched Glast-Rasless-YFP mice served as uninjured controls (n=4).

Description
To elucidate the mechanisms by which the mir-200 and the miR-183~96~182 cluster could regulate EMT and thus cellular migration, invasion and metastasis in NSCLC, we searched for common predicted targets of these microRNA families that might have a potential role in these biological processes. First we performed a cross comparison of multiple gene expression datasets from our mouse models of metastasis. We overlapped 224 genes that were elevated greater than four-folds upon Zeb1 induction in 393P cells with 210 genes that showed greater than two-fold increase in expression in the metastatic 344SQ cells compared to the non-metastatic 393P cells and 143 genes that were repressed to less than 0.5-fold in cells with exogenous expression of miR-200. This resulted in an enriched list of 45 genes that are potential miR-200 targets having a role in the process of EMT and metastasis. Next we performed an overlap of genes that were predicted targets of the miR-200 family members and the miR-183~96~182 cluster using the microRNA prediction algorithms miRanda (www.microRNA.org) and identified a list of 17 highly conserved common targets with a mirSVR score less than -6.0. The only 2 genes common in both the overlapping subsets were Zeb1 and Foxf2.

Description
T cell receptor (TCR) stimulation of naïve CD8+ T cells initiates reprogramming of cis-regulatory landscapes that specify effector and memory cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) differentiation. We mapped regions of hyper-accessible chromatin in naïve cells during TCR stimulation and discovered that the transcription factor (TF) Runx3 controls de novo access to memory CTL-specific cistromes prior to the first cell division, and is essential for memory CTL differentiation. Runx3 specifically promotes accessibility of cis-acting regions highly enriched with IRF, bZIP and Prdm1-like family TF motifs, upregulates IRF4 and establishes feed-forward transcriptional circuits that induce fundamental CTL attributes in memory precursor cells. Runx3 drives uncoupling from the naïve cell state, but subsequently restrains terminal differentiation of nascent CTL by preventing high expression of the TF T-bet and slowing effector cell proliferation. Enforced Runx3 expression enhances memory CTL differentiation and increases their numbers during iterative infections. Thus, Runx3 functions in a pioneering role to initialize and then ensure memory CTL differentiate. Overall design: 6 samples, 2 replicates each, 2 wildtype controls
