Description
While others have reported that fetal liver contains a population of endothelial progenitors based on expression of cell surface markers or culture assays, this is the first proof of a CD31+Sca1+ progenitor by demonstrating highly efficient in vivo angiogenesis and a direct connection to the host vasculature. We have developed a novel isolation method based on collagenase digestion and culture on a fetal liver-derived feeder layer and demonstrate that the feeder cells or their supernatants are required for endothelial progenitor survival and proliferation. Proteogenomic profiling of the endothelial progenitors and the feeder cells was done with tandem mass spectrometry proteomics using MudPIT and gene transcript expression profiling using high density DNA microarrays. This approach identified a number of gene transcripts, proteins and candidate growth factor pathways that are likely to be involved in endothelial progenitor growth, differentiation and angiogenesis.

Description
Proliferation of neoplastic plasma cells within the bone marrow leads to reduced oxygen availability. In response to hypoxia, the transcription factor hypoxia-inducible factor-2alpha (HIF-2) is activated and stabilised. We hypothesise that activation of HIF-2 is a central driver of multiple myeloma disease progression, leading to the induction of transcription of genes associated with angiogenesis, osteoclast activation and cell migration. In this study we assessed the affects of HIF-2 overexpression on gene expression in the human myeloma cell line LP-1.

Description
Despite significant improvements in life expectancy of kidney transplant patients due to advances in surgery and immunosuppression, Chronic Allograft Nephropathy (CAN) remains a daunting problem. A complex network of cellular mechanisms in both graft and peripheral immune compartments complicates the non-invasive diagnosis of CAN, which still requires biopsy histology. This is compounded by non-immunological factors contributing to graft injury. There is a pressing need to identify and validate minimally invasive biomarkers for CAN to serve as early predictors of graft loss and as metrics for managing long-term immunosuppression.

Description
Neuregulin (NRG) signaling through the receptor tyrosine kinase, ERBB3, is required for embryonic development, and dysregulated signaling has been associated with cancer progression. Here, we show that NRG1/ERBB3 signaling inhibits melanocyte (MC) maturation and promotes undifferentiated, migratory and proliferative cellular characteristics. Embryonic analyses demonstrated that initial MC specification and distribution were not dependent on ERBB3 signaling. However NRG1/ERBB3 signaling was both necessary and sufficient to inhibit differentiation of later stages of MC development in culture. Analysis of tissue arrays of human melanoma samples suggests that ERBB3 signaling may also contribute to metastatic progression of melanoma as ERBB3 was phosphorylated in primary tumors compared with nevi or metastatic lesions. Neuregulin 1-treated MCs demonstrated increased proliferation and invasion and altered morphology concomitant with decreased levels of differentiation genes, increased levels of proliferation genes and altered levels of melanoma progression and metastases genes. ERBB3 activation in primary melanomas suggests that NRG1/ERBB3 signaling may contribute to the progression of melanoma from benign nevi to malignancies. We propose that targeting ERBB3 activation and downstream genes identified in this study may provide novel therapeutic interventions for malignant melanoma.

Description
Toxin A (TcdA) and Toxin B (TcdB), of the pathogen Clostridium difficile, are virulence factors that cause gross pathologic changes (e.g. inflammation, secretion, and diarrhea) in the infected host, yet the molecular and cellular pathways leading to observed host responses are poorly understood. To address this gap, TcdA and/or TcdB were injected into the ceca of mice and the genome-wide transcriptional response of epithelial layer cells was examined. Bioinformatic analysis of gene expression identified sets of cooperatively expressed genes. Further analysis of inflammation associated genes revealed dynamic chemokine responses.

Description
The aim of reprotoxicity testing is to reveal adverse effects of chemicals and drugs on reproduction and on pre and postnatal fetal development. There is very limited data available on gene expression profiling for elucidation of the teratogenic effects of nongenotoxic teratogens. Therefore, research was undertaken to obtain knowledge on the molecular effects of MSC1096199 (previously known as EMD 82571), a calcium sensitizer that was abandoned in the preclinical development phase due to its teratogenic effects in some foetuses. Pregnant wistar rats were dose daily with either MSC1096199 (50 or 150 mg/kg) or Retinoic acid (12 mg/kg) on gestational days 6-17. Microarray experiment were performed using four different tissues (maternal liver, embryo liver (GD20), embryo bone (GD20), and whole embryo (GD12)) under four different conditions (vehicle, low dose and high dose of MSC1096199 and Retinoic acid) to determine the drug regulated genes. In the high dose treatment group, approximately 58% of the fetuses showed malformations i.e. exencephaly and agnathia, and toxicogenomics evidenced that the genes critically involved in osteogenesis, odontogenesis and extra cellular matrix components to be significantly regulated by MSC1096199, therefore providing a molecular rational for the observed teratogenic effects.

Description
Heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein (hnRNP) C1/C2 plays a pivotal role in vitamin D receptor (VDR) signaling by acting as a vitamin D response element (VDRE)-binding protein (VDRE-BP). Transcriptional regulation by active 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25(OH)2D3) involves occupancy of VDRE by VDRE-BP or 1,25(OH)2D3 bound-VDR. This relationship is disrupted by over-expression of VDRE-BP and can cause a form of human hereditary vitamin D-resistant rickets (HVDRR). DNA array analyses using B-cells from an HVDRR patient and matched control defined a sub-cluster of genes where 1,25(OH)2D3-regulated transcription was abrogated by over-expression of VDRE-BP. Amongst these, the DNA-damage-inducible transcript 4 (DDIT4), an inhibitor of mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling, was also induced by 1,25(OH)2D3 in human osteoblasts.
