View SamplesAnalysis of five Notch signaling-dependent human T-ALL cell lines (ALLSIL, DND41, HPBALL, KOPTK1, TALL-1) treated with gamma-secretase inhibitor (GSI) to block Notch signaling. Samples include parental cells, cells rescued by retroviral transduction with ICN (a GSI-independent form of activated Notch1), and cells retrovirally transduced with c-Myc (an important downstream target of Notch1). Results allow segregation of bona fide Notch targets from other genes affected by gamma-secretase inhibition as well as from targets downstream of c-Myc.
High-level IGF1R expression is required for leukemia-initiating cell activity in T-ALL and is supported by Notch signaling.

View SamplesInflorescence stages 1 to 12 from mutants involved in Arabidopsis small RNA metabolism. Three biological replicates of each mutant comprising at least 9 independent plants were harvested, and the expression profiles were determined using Affymetrix ATH1 arrays. Comparisons among the sample groups allow the identification of genes regulated by small RNAs (microRNAs and siRNAs).

View SamplesEstrogen signaling and epigenetic modifications, in particular DNA methylation, are involved in regulation of gene expression in breast cancers. Here we investigated a potential regulatory cross-talk between these two pathways by identifying their common target genes and exploring potential underlying molecular mechanisms in human MCF7 breast cancer cells. Principal Findings: Gene expression profiling revealed that the expression of approximately 150 genes was influenced by both 17-estradiol (E2) and a hypomethylating agent 5-aza-2-deoxycytidine (DAC). Based on gene ontology (GO), CpG island prediction analysis and previously reported estrogen receptor (ER) binding regions, we selected six genes for further analysis (BTG3, FHL2, PMAIP1, BTG2, CDKN1A and TGFB2). GO analysis suggests that these genes are involved in intracellular signaling cascades, regulation of cell proliferation and apoptosis, while CpG island prediction of promoter regions reveals that the promoters of these genes contain at least one CpG island. Using chromatin immunoprecipitation, we show that ER is recruited to CpG islands in promoters, but neither in an E2- nor in a DAC-dependent fashion. DAC treatment reactivates the expression of all selected genes although only the promoters of BTG3 and FHL2 genes are methylated, with E2 treatment showing no effect on the methylation status of these promoters. Conclusions: We identified a set of genes regulated by both estrogen signaling and DNA methylation. However, our data does not support a direct molecular interplay of mediators of estrogen and epigenetic signaling at promoters of regulated genes.

View SamplesAcute quadriplegic myopathy (AQM) or critical illness myopathy (CIM) is frequently observed in intensive care unit (ICU) patients. In order to elucidate duration-dependent effects of the ICU intervention on molecular and functional networks that control the muscle wasting and weakness in AQM, gene expression profile was analyzed at time points varying from 6 hours to 14 days in a unique experimental rat model mimicking ICU conditions, i.e., post-synaptically paralyzed, mechanically ventilated and extensively monitored animals.

View Samples10 male subjects performed ~45 min one-legged cycling and 4 x 7 maximal concentric-eccentric knee extensions for each leg 15 min later. Thus, one limb performed aerobic and resistance exercise (AE+RE), while the opposing leg did resistance exercise only (RE). Biopsies were obtained from m. vastus lateralis of each leg 3 h after the resistance exercise bout.
Aerobic exercise augments muscle transcriptome profile of resistance exercise.
