Affymetrix Mouse Genome 430 2.0 Array (mouse4302)
Description
Immune deficiency is common in cancer, but the biological basis for this and ways to reverse it remains elusive. Here we present a mouse model of B cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) that recapitulates changes in the non-malignant circulating T cells seen in patients with this illness.1 To validate this model, we examined changes in T cell gene expression, protein expression and function in Em-TCL1 transgenic mice as they developed CLL 2,3 and demonstrate that development of CLL in these transgenic mice is associated with changes in impaired T cell function and in gene expression in CD4 and CD8 T cells similar to those observed in patients with this disease. Infusion of CLL cells into non-leukemia bearing Em-TCL1 mice rapidly induces these changes, demonstrating a causal relationship between leukemia and the induction of T cell changes. This model allows dissection of the molecular changes induced in CD4 and CD8 T cells by interaction with leukemia cells and further supports the concept that cancer results in complex abnormalities in the immune microenvironment.

Description
Recent studies have implicated KDM3A, which catalyzes removal of H3K9 methylation, is associated with tumorigenesis. However, the biological role of KDM3A in multiple myeloma, has not been delineated. Here we identify KDM3A-KLF2-IRF4 axis dependence in multiple myeloma. We demonstrate that knockdown of KDM3A leads to apoptosis and significant growth inhibition in myeloma cells. Mechanistically, KDM3A directly regulates myeloma cell survival factor IRF4 expression through H3K9 demethylation at its promoter. We further show that KDM3A directly regulates KLF2 expression and that knockdown of KLF2 leads to growth inhibition in myeloma cells.
Publication Title

Description
UMR106-01 osteoblastic cells are a model for studying bone mineralization. We have shown that mineralization is temporally synchronized within cultures grown under defined conditions . Cells are plated at time zero and differentiate into osteoblastic phenotype by 64 h later. If an exogenous phosphate source is added to the cultures, the cells form and deposit hydroxyapatite mineral within distinct extracellular supramolecular lipid protein complexes termed biomineralization foci (BMF) starting 12 h later. Mineralization is largely complete by 24 h later (88 h after plating). We have also shown that AEBSF, covalent serine protease inhibitor, blocks mineralization within BMF and inhibits the fragmentation of several proteins related to biomineralization. The present experiment was designed to test whether AEBSF treatment for 12 h has an effect on transcription by UMR106-01 osteoblastic cells. AEBSF is known to inactivate several serine proteases including SKI-1 (site 1, subtilisin kexin protease-1).SKI-1 functions intracellularly to activate transmembrane bound transcription factor precursors releasing the transcriptionally active N-terminal portions to imported into the nucleus. Thus, if AEBSF blocks transcription of mineralization related genes, it would support a role for SKI-1 in gene regulation in mineralizing UMR106-01 osteoblastic cells.

- Affymetrix Human Gene 1.0 ST Array (hugene10st)
Description
Use of expression data to analyse ovarian cancer often yields long lists of genes that do not agree across various studies. Copy number however is more stable and can reliable predict important regions of change. Using matched copy number and expressiion data helps accurately identify novel drivers of ovarian cancer.

- Affymetrix Bovine Genome Array (bovine)
Description
Mycobacterium bovis is an intracellular pathogen that causes tuberculosis in cattle. Following infection, the pathogen resides and persists inside host macrophages by subverting host immune responses via a diverse range of mechanisms. Here, a high-density bovine microarray platform was used to examine the bovine monocyte-derived macrophage transcriptome response to M. bovis infection relative to infection with the attenuated vaccine strain, M. bovis Bacille CalmetteGurin. Differentially expressed genes were identified (adjusted P-value 0.01) and interaction networks generated across an infection time course of 2, 6 and 24 h. The largest number of biological interactions was observed in the 24 h network, which exhibited small-worldscale-free network properties. The 24 h network featured a small number of key hub and bottleneck gene nodes, including IKBKE, MYC, NFKB1 and EGR1 that differentiated the macrophage response to virulent and attenuated M. bovis strains, possibly via the modulation of host cell death mechanisms. These hub and bottleneck genes represent possible targets for immunomodulation of host macrophages by virulent mycobacterial species that enable their survival within a hostile environment.

Description
To define the molecular regulators of metastasis of triple-negative breast cancer, we conducted a rigorous characterization of four isogenic populations of MDA-MB-231 human triple-negative breast cancer cells that display a range of intrinsic spontaneous metastatic capacities in immuno-deficient mice, from non-metastatic to highly metastatic to lung, liver, spleen and spine. PAT-Seq gene expression profiling of primary tumor cells identified the fibroblast growth factor homologous factor, FGF13, as a candidate metastatic virulence gene highly upregulated in aggressively metastatic MDA-MB-231HM tumors. Overall design: Gene expression analysis from PAT-Seq of 4 increasingly metastatic breast cancer xenograft tumours

- Affymetrix Bovine Genome Array (bovine)
Description
Background: Mycobacterium bovis is the causative agent of bovine tuberculosis (BTB), a pathological infection with significant economic impact. Recent studies have highlighted the role of functional genomics to better understand the molecular mechanisms governing the host immune response to M. bovis infection. Furthermore, these studies may enable the identification of novel transcriptional markers of BTB that can augment current diagnostic tests and surveillance programmes. In the present study, we have analysed the transcriptome of peripheral blood leukocytes (PBL) from eight M. bovis-infected and eight control non-infected age-matched and sex-matched Holstein-Friesian cattle using the Affymetrix GeneChip Bovine Genome Array with features representing more than 23,000 gene transcripts and over 19,000 gene probe sets.
