Affymetrix Mouse Gene 2.1 ST Array (mogene21st)
Description
Patients with medulloblastoma are typically treated with a narrow range of therapies, but may experience widely divergent outcomes; 80-90% become long-term survivors while 20% develop incurable recurrence. Transcriptomic profiling has identified four subgroups with different recurrence risks, but outcomes remain variable for individual patients within each subgroup. To gain new insight into why patients with similar-appearing tumors have variable outcomes, we examined how the timing of tumor initiation effects medulloblastomas triggered by a single, common driver mutation. We genetically-engineered mice to express an oncogenic Smo allele starting early in development in the broad lineage of neural stem cells, or later, in the more committed lineage of cerebellar granule neuron progenitors. Both groups developed medulloblastomas and no other tumors. We compared medulloblastoma progression, response to therapy, gene expression profile and cellular heterogeneity, determined by single cell transcriptomic analysis (scRNA-seq). The average transcriptomic profiles of the tumors were similar. However, stem cell-triggered medulloblastomas progressed faster, contained more OLIG2-expressing tumor stem cells, and consistently showed radioresistance. In contrast, progenitor-triggered MBs progressed slower, lost stem cell character over time and were radiosensitive. Progenitor-triggered medulloblastomas also contained more diverse stromal populations, including tumor-associated macrophages, indicating that the timing of oncogenesis affected the subsequent interactions between the tumor and microenvironment. Our findings show that developmental events in tumorigenesis may be impossible to infer from transcriptomic profile, but while remaining cryptic can nevertheless influence tumor composition and the outcome of therapy. Precise understanding of medulloblastoma pathogenesis and prognosis requires supplementing transcriptomic data with biomarkers of cellular heterogeneity.

Description
Cellular diversity within tumors and reduced lineage commitment can undermine targeted therapy by increasing the probability of treatment-resistant populations. Using single-cell RNA-seq, we analyzed cellular diversity and lineage in medulloblastomas in transgenic, medulloblastoma-prone mice, and responses to the SHH-pathway inhibitor vismodegib. Overall design: Drop-Seq single-cell transcriptome sequencing of 15 mice: 5 Wild Type cerebella, 5 Drug-treated cerebellar tumors and 5 vehicle-treated cerebellar tumros.

- Affymetrix Chicken Genome Array (chicken)
Description
Comparative analysis of gene expression profiles in newly developed housing systems is important to understand gene functions in chicken for adaptation and possible gene-environment interactions among layer lines. Therefore, the objective of this study was to characterize the molecular processes that are different among the two layer lines Lohmann Selected Leghorn (LSL) and Lohmann Brown (LB) using whole genome RNA expression profiles. Despite their approximately identical egg production performance these layer lines differ markedly in other phenotypic traits. The two layer lines were kept under the production environment of the newly developed small group housing system Eurovent German with two different group sizes and three tiers.
Publication Title
Differential gene expression from genome-wide microarray analyses distinguishes Lohmann Selected Leghorn and Lohmann Brown layers.

- Affymetrix Mouse Gene 1.0 ST Array (mogene10st)
Description
To address the functional role of KDM6A in the regulation of Rhox genes, male and female mouse ES cells were transfected with a mixture of three small interfering RNA duplexes, each of which targets a different region of Kdm6a mRNA. We found that Kdm6a knockdown in mouse ES cells caused a decrease in expression of a subset of Rhox genes, Rhox6 and 9. Furthermore, Rhox6 and 9 expression was decreased in female ES cells but not male ES cells indicating that KDM6A regulates Rhox gene expression in a sexually dimorphic manner.

Description
LncRNA H19X was silienced in dermal fibroblats of systemic sclerosis patients with antisense oligonuclotides. The hypothesis tested in the present study was that H19X is an important factor in the development of TGFb-driven fibrosis. Results provide important information about the role H19X in fibroblasts in particolar on extracellular matrix production and cell cycle regulation.

Description
In both beef and dairy cattle, the majority of embryo loss occurs in the first 14-16 days following insemination. During this period, the embryo is completely dependent on its maternal uterine environment for development, growth and ultimately survival, therefore an optimum uterine environment is critical to embryo survival.

Description
We reported transcriptional characterization of Treg and Tconv cells from thymic, splenic, and visceral adipose tissue (VAT) of vTreg53 TCR transgenic mice and control littermates. We examined the effect of Foxp3 on splenic and VAT CD4+ T cell transcriptome. We profiled gene expression in a novel PPARg+ splenic Treg population. We uncovered that the characteristic phenotype of VAT Treg cells was acquired in two stages. Overall design: Gene expression profiles of thymic, splenic, VAT Treg, Tconv, and Foxp3-transduced Tconv cells from vTreg53 TCR transgenic and PPARg reporter mice.

Description
We report RNA sequencing data from tenocytes treated with IGF1. Tenocytes were obtained from the tail tendons of adult C57Bl/6 mice via collagenase digestion. Tenocytes were grown to 60% confluence, and then treated with 100ng/mL of recombinant IGF1 for a period of 0, 1, 2, 6, or 24 hours. Experiments were conducted in quadruplicate. RNA was isolated and prepared for RNA sequencing. Overall design: Differential expression of mRNAs were evaluated from tenocytes isolated from tail tendons of adult wild type C57Bl/6 mice that were treated with recombinant IGF1 for 0, 1, 2, 6, and 24 hours.

Description
With their genome sequenced, Anopheles gambiae mosquitoes now serve as a powerful tool for basic research in comparative, evolutionary and developmental biology. The knowledge generated by these studies is expected to reveal molecular targets for novel vector control and pathogen transmission blocking strategies. Comparisons of gene-expression profiles between adult male and nonblood-fed female Anopheles gambiae mosquitoes revealed that roughly 22% of the genes showed sex-dependent regulation. Blood-fed females switch the majority of their metabolism to blood digestion and egg formation within 3 h after the meal is ingested, in detriment to other activities such as flight and response to environment stimuli. Changes in gene expression are most evident during the first, second and third days after a blood meal, when as many as 50% of all genes showed significant variation in transcript accumulation. After laying the first cluster of eggs (between 72 and 96 h after the blood meal), mosquitoes return to a nongonotrophic stage, similar but not identical to that of 3-dayold nonblood-fed females. Ageing and/or the nutritional state of mosquitoes at 15 days after a blood meal is reflected by the down-regulation of 5% of all genes. A full description of the large number of genes regulated at each analysed time point and each biochemical pathway or biological processes in which they are involved is not possible within the scope of this contribution. Therefore, we present descriptions of groups of genes displaying major differences in transcript accumulation during the adult mosquito life. However, a publicly available searchable database (Anopheles gambiae Gene Expression Database at UC Irvine) has been made available so that detailed analyses of specific groups of genes based on their descriptions, functions or levels of gene expression variation can be performed by interested investigators according to their needs.
