Affymetrix Bovine Genome Array (bovine)
Description
The oviduct is a specialized organ playing crucial roles in the success of early reproductive events and it provides an optimal microenvironment for early embryonic development. However, changes in oviductal environment due to estrus synchronization and superovulation hormonal treatments and subsequent influence on embryos transcriptome profile are not yet investigated. For that, the objective of this study was to investigate differences in developmental rate and transcriptome profile of bovine blastocysts cultured under superovulation or synchronization oviductal environment.

Description
The complex response of murine macrophages to infection with Streptococcus pyogenes was investigated at the level of gene expression using a high-density oligomer microarray. More than 400 genes were identified as being differentially regulated. Many of the up-regulated genes encoded molecules were involved in immune response and inflammation, transcription, signalling, apoptosis, cell cycle, electron transport and cell adhesion. Of particular interest was the up-regulation of proinflammatory cytokines, typical of the classically activated macrophages (M1 phenotype) such as TNF-?, IL-1 and IL-6, and also the up-regulation of anti-inflammatory mediators such as IL-1ra and IL-10 associated with macrophage alternative activation (M2 phenotype). Furthermore, the gene encoding inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), an enzyme typically implicated in classical activation was not induced in infected macrophages. Instead, the gene encoding arginase, a competitor for the iNOS substrate arginine and involved in the alternative activation pathway was up-regulated in S. pyogenes-infected cells. Thus, the microarray-based gene expression analysis demonstrated that S. pyogenes induced an atypical activation program in macrophages with some but not all features of classically or alternatively activation phenotypes. The microarray data also suggested that the bactericidal activity of macrophages against S. pyogenes is mediated by phagocyte oxydase since p47phox was up-regulated in infected cells. Indeed, the in vivo and in vitro killing of S. pyogenes was markedly diminished in the absence of functional phagocyte (p47phox-/-) but not in the absence of iNOS (iNOS-/-). Understanding how macrophages respond to S. pyogenes at the molecular level may facilitate the development of new therapeutic paradigms.

Description
The cytokine IL-10 deactivates macrophages and has been shown to impair resistance to mycobacterial infection. We have infected transgenic mice overexpressing IL-10 under control of the macrophage-specific CD68 promoter (macIL-10tg mice) with Mycobacterium tuberculosis by aerosol and found increased bacterial loads in the lungs of macIL-10tg mice.

Description
This study aimed to investigate the molecular effects of non-ablative Er:YAG laser treatment using an in vitro model of the non-keratinized mucous membrane and to compare its molecular effects with other ablative and non-ablative laser systems. In dermatology, the use of non-ablative and ablative fractional lasers has become the gold standard treatment for a number of indications. Each of the individual laser types is advantageous for different types of indications due to its respective properties, but new technologies open up new fields of application for individual laser systems. Performing a comprehensive gene expression profiling we compared the gene regulatory effects of non-ablative Er:YAG laser with other non-ablative and ablative laser systems. In vitro 3D models have proven to be a reliable and reproducible tool to study the molecular biological effects of different laser settings.

Description
Hydrostatic pressure and perfusion have been shown to alter the chondrogenic potential of articular chondrocytes. In order to compare the effects of hydrostatic pressure plus perfusion (HPP) and perfusion (P) we investigated the complete gene expression profiles of human chondrocytes under HPP and P. A simplified bioreactor was constructed applying loading (0.1 MPa for 2 h) and perfusion (2ml) through the same piping by pressurizing the medium directly. High-density monolayer cultures of human chondrocytes were exposed to HPP or P for 4 days. Controls were maintained in static culture. Gene expression was evaluated by sequencing (RNAseq) and quantitative real-time PCR analysis. RNAseq identified similarities between the two treatments. Specifically, HPP and P increased COL2A1 expression and decreased COL1A1 and MMP-13 expression. Despite of the similarities, RNAseq revealed a list of cartilage genes including ACAN, ITGA10 and TNC, which were differentially expressed by HPP and P. Of these candidates adhesion related molecules were found to be upregulated in HPP. Both HPP and P treatment had beneficial effects on chondrocyte differentiation and decreased catabolic enzyme expression. The study provides new insight into how hydrostatic pressure and perfusion enhance cartilage differentiation and inhibit catabolic effects Overall design: 9 samples

Description
Stem cells reside in specific niches providing stemness-maintaining environments. Thus, the regulated migration from these niches is associated with differentiation onset. However, mechanisms retaining stem cells in their niche remain poorly understood. Here, we show that the epigenetic regulator lysine-specific demethylase 1 (Lsd1) organises the trophoblast niche of the early mouse embryo by coordinating migration and invasion of trophoblast stem cells (TSCs). Lsd1 deficiency leads to the depletion of the stem cell pool resulting from precocious migration of TSCs.

Description
We have identified ZNF423 (also known as Ebfaz, OAZ or Zfp423) as a component critically required for retinoic acid (RA)-induced differentiation. ZNF423 associates with the RAR/RXR nuclear receptor complex and is essential for transactivation in response to retinoids. Down-regulation of ZNF423 expression by RNA interference in neuroblastoma cells results in a growth advantage and resistance to RA-induced differentiation, whereas overexpression of ZNF423 leads to growth inhibition and enhanced differentiation. Futhermore, we show that low ZNF423 expression is associated with poor disease outcome of neuroblastoma patients. To identify the other key pathways regulated by ZNF423 in human neuroblastoma, we expressed elevated levels of ZNF423 in SH-SY5Y cells and performed full genome gene expression analysis in these cells.
Publication Title
ZNF423 is critically required for retinoic acid-induced differentiation and is a marker of neuroblastoma outcome.
