Affymetrix Drosophila Genome 2.0 Array (drosophila2)
Description
Growth of the drosophila eye imaginal discs is controlled by the activation of Notch in the dorsal-ventral boundary. Overexpression in the eye disc of the Notch ligand Delta together with lola and pipsqueak from the GS(2)88A8 line induces tumoral growth. We used microarray to analyze the expression profile of tumoral discs.

Description
Diamond-Blackfan Anemia (DBA) is a rare inherited red cell hypoplasia characterized by a defect in the maturation of erythroid progenitors and is in some cases associated to malformations. Patients have an increased risk of solid tumors. Mutations have been found in several ribosomal protein (RP) genes. Studies in hematopoietic progenitors from patients show that the haploinsufficiency of an RP impairs rRNA processing and ribosome biogenesis. DBA lymphocytes and fibroblasts show reduced protein synthesis, and the latter display abnormal rRNA processing and impaired proliferation.
Publication Title
Fibroblasts from patients with Diamond-Blackfan anaemia show abnormal expression of genes involved in protein synthesis, amino acid metabolism and cancer.

Description
Human umbilical cord Whartons jelly stem cells (WHJSC) are gaining attention as a possible clinical source of mesenchymal stem cells for use in cell therapy and tissue engineering due to their high accessibility, expansion potential and plasticity. However, the cell viability changes that are associated to sequential cell passage of these cells are not known. In this analysis, we have identified the gene expression changes that are associated to cell passage in WHJSC.

Description
Purpose:This work aimed to identify the genetic profiles of piriform projection neurons and characterize their spatial organization within the piriform cortex. Methods: We microdissected the three layers of pirifrom cortex by laser capture (LMD) and performed RNA deep sequencing in order to identify layer-specific molecular markers, we then validated these data by using RNA in situ hybridization and immunohistochemistry.We next performed anterograde neural tracing experiments to identify piriform target regions, and retrograde neural tracing experiments to analyze how piriform projection neurons are organized within piriform cortex.We then combined the analysis of patterns of gene expression with retrograde tracing experiments to identify molecular signatures of the different subclasses of piriform projecting neurons. Results:We show that layers and sub-layers of the piriform cortex can be discriminated by gene expression patterns in adult piriform cortex. We observe that neurons projecting to distinct target areas are localized in distinct layers and express specific genes. We demonstrate that these molecular signatures of piriform projection neurons are maintained in reeler mice, in which cortical lamination is lost and neural positioning is scrambled, suggesting that piriform output connectivity strictly depends on the molecular programm, rather than a proper lamination of the cortex. Conclusion:These results provide important insights into the principles underling the piriform connectivity. Overall design: 3 replicates per each layer (three layers) of piriform cotrex were used for the RNA deep sequancing

Description
Multiple myeloma (MM) remains incurable despite the introduction of novel agents and a relapsing course is observed in the majority of patients. Although the development of genomic technologies has greatly improved our understanding of MM pathogenesis, the mechanisms underlying relapse have been less investigated. In this study, an integrative analysis of DNA copy number, DNA methylation and gene expression was conducted in matched diagnosis and relapse samples from 17 MM patients. Overall, the acquisition of abnormalities at relapse was much more frequent than the lost of lesions present at diagnosis, and DNA losses were significantly more frequent at relapse than in diagnosis samples. Interestingly, copy number abnormalities involving more than 100 Mb of DNA at relapse significantly impact the gene expression of these samples, provoking a particular deregulation of IL-8 pathway. On the contrary, no relevant modifications of gene expression were observed in those samples with less than 100 Mb affected by chromosomal changes. Although different statistical approaches were used to uncover genes whose abnormal expression at relapse was regulated by DNA methylation, only two genes significantly deregulated in relapse samples (SORL1 and GLT1D1) showed a negative methylation-expression correlation. A deeper analysis demonstrated that DNA methylation was involved in regulation of SORL1 expression in MM. Finally, relevant changes in gene expression observed in relapse samples, such us downregulation of CD27 and P2RY8, were not apparently preceded by alterations in corresponding DNA. Taken together, these results showed that genomic heterogeneity, both at the DNA and RNA level, is a hallmark of MM transition from diagnosis to relapse.

Description
Background: Gq-coupled G protein-coupled receptors (GPCR) mediate the actions of a variety of messengers that are key regulators of cardiovascular function. Enhanced Gaq-mediated signaling plays an important role in cardiac hypertrophy and in the transition to heart failure. We have recently described that Gaq acts as an adaptor protein that facilitates PKCz-mediated activation of ERK5 in epithelial cells. Since the ERK5 cascade is known to be involved in cardiac hypertrophy, we have investigated the potential relevance of this pathway in Gq-dependent signaling in cardiac cells.

Description
Members of the JNK pathway have been found to be mutated in human breast cancer. Mouse studies examining JNK loss in different tissues have demonstrated that the JNK pathway can play a role in cancer. Using and autochthonous mouse model, we found that JNK deficiency on a p53-null background resulted in more rapid tumor onset. To learn more about these tumors we generated cells lines and performed various in vitro assays, as well as RNAseq in hope of finding differentially expressed genes that may explain the differences we observed in vivo. Overall design: Tumors were harvested from mice and cells lines were established from them. RNA was isolated from established tumor cell lines.

We use RNAseq analysis as an un-biased and highly sensitive measurement of global transcriptomic changes upon the loss of HPX-2. The RNAseq result provided insights into the potential physiological processes HPX-2 is involved in. Overall design: L4 stage worms were exposed to E. faecalis or E. coli for 16 hours and total RNA was extracted for 5 biological replicates. Illumina Hiseq 4000 sequencer with 75 nt pair-ended read format was used to conduct the sequencing.
