Affymetrix Mouse Genome 430 2.0 Array (mouse4302)
Description
Klotho-deficient mice develop aortic valve annulus calcification by 6 weeks of age. Understanding the molecular basis by which aortic valve calcification is initiated will help define potential molecular targets which may be inhibited to reduce or prevent aortic valve calcification.

Description
The initial segment of the epididymis is vital for male fertility, therefore, it is important to understand the mechanisms that regulate this important region. Deprival of testicular luminal fluid factors/lumicrine factors from epididymis, a subset of cells within the initial segment undergo apoptosis. In this study, microarray analyses was used to examine early changes in the downstream signal transduction pathways following the loss of lumicrine factors, and we discovered the following cascade of events leading to loss of protection and eventual apoptosis. First, mRNA expression of several key components of ERK pathway decreased sharply after 6 hours of loss protection from testicular lumicrine factors. After 12 hours, the levels of mRNA expression of STAT and NF-B pathways components increased, mRNA expression of genes encoding cell cycle inhibitors increased. After 18 hours of loss protection from testicular lumicrine factors, apoptosis was observed in the initial segment. In conclusion, testicular lumicrine factors protect the cells of the initial segment by activating ERK pathway, repressing STAT and NF-B pathways, and preventing a cascade of reactions leading to apoptosis.

Description
Aortic valve calcification is the most common form of valvular heart disease, but the mechanisms of calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD) are unknown. NOTCH1 mutations are associated with aortic valve malformations and adult-onset calcification in families with inherited disease. The Notch signaling pathway is critical for multiple cell differentiation processes, but its role in the development of CAVD is not well understood. The aim of this study was to investigate the molecular changes that occur with inhibition of Notch signaling in the aortic valve. Notch signaling pathway members are expressed in adult aortic valve cusps, and examination of diseased human aortic valves revealed decreased expression of NOTCH1 in areas of calcium deposition. To identify downstream mediators of Notch1, we examined gene expression changes that occur with chemical inhibition of Notch signaling in rat aortic valve interstitial cells (AVICs).

Illumina HiSeq 2000
Description
Polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2) catalyzes histone H3K27me3, which characterizes many silenced genes including those on the inactive X-chromosome. Here we interrogate the role of core PRC2 protein EED in X-linked gene silencing by assessing allele-specific X-linked gene expression in WT and Eed-/- hybrid mouse trophoblast stem cells (TSCs) harboring a 129/S1-derived maternal X-chromosome and a JF1/Ms-derived paternal X-chromosome. This study generates mRNA-seq data for WT and Eed-/- TSCs, which undergo imprinted inactivation of the paternal X-chromosome. RNA-seq data was mapped allele-specifically to in silico strain-specific maternal and paternal reference genomes, generated based on known single nucleotide polymorphisms. We find that EED loss abrogates H3K27me3 and expression of Xist lncRNA, which is required for X-inactivation, however, despite the absence of H3K27me3 and Xist, only a subset of PRC2 target genes are derepressed in Eed-/- TSCs. Overall design: RNA-seq profiles of four WT (Eed +/+ and Eed fl/fl) and three EED null (Eed -/-) female TS cell lines were generated through strand-specific 100 bp paired-end sequencing on the Illumina HiSeq2000
