Affymetrix Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 Array (hgu133plus2)
Description
EZH2 is frequently over-expressed in aggressive and metastatic solid tumors, including castration resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). We sought to determine EZH2-dependent gene expression programmes in prostate cancer progression, and found an intriguing functional switch of EZH2 from a repressor to an activator during CRPC development.

Description
Vitamin D receptors (VDR) are abundantly expressed in developing zebrafish as early as 48 hours post-fertilization, and prior to the development of a mineralized skeleton, and mature intestine and kidney. We probed the role of VDR in zebrafish biology by examining changes in expression of RNA by whole transcriptome shotgun sequencing (RNA-seq) in fish treated with picomolar concentrations of the VDR ligand and hormonal form of vitamin D3, 1a,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1a,25(OH)2D3). We observed significant changes in RNAs encoding proteins of fatty acid, amino acid, and xenobiotic metabolism pathways, and RNAs of transcription factors, leptin, peptide hormones, receptor-activator of NFkB ligand (RANKL), and calcitonin-like ligand receptor pathways. Early small, and subsequent massive changes in >10% of expressed cellular RNAs were observed. At day 2 (24h 1a,25(OH)2D3-treatment), only 5 RNAs were differentially expressed (hormone vs. vehicle). On day 4 (72h-treatment), 78 RNAs; on day 6 (120h-treatment) 1040 RNAs; and on day 7 (144h-treatment), 1755 RNAs were differentially expressed in response to 1a,25(OH)2D3. Fewer RNAs (n = 482) were altered in day 7 embryos treated for 24h with 1a,25(OH)2D3 vs. those treated with hormone for 144h. At 7 days, in 1a,25(OH)2D3-treated embryos, pharyngeal cartilage was larger and mineralization was greater. Changes in expression of RNAs for transcription factors, peptide hormones, and RNAs encoding proteins integral to fatty acid, amino acid, leptin, calcitonin-like ligand receptor, RANKL and xenobiotic metabolism pathways, demonstrate heretofore unrecognized mechanisms by which 1a,25(OH)2D3 functions in vivo in developing eukaryotes. Overall design: Zebrafish embryos were obtained from mating of Segrest wild-type (SWT) parents under controlled barrier conditions, in the Mayo Clinic Zebrafish Core Facility, in Instant Ocean media . Zebrafish embryos (25-30) were placed in 20 mL embryo medium (pH 7.2) containing 1-phenyl-2-thiourea (PTU) (0.003% (w/v) and were maintained at 28-30 oC. At 24 hpf (1 day post fertilization, dpf), 10 microliters of 1a,25(OH)2D3 in ethanol was added to embryos maintained in 20 mL fresh embryo medium with PTU. The final concentration of 1a,25(OH)2D3 was 300 pM. Control zebrafish were treated with 10 microliters ethanol alone (vehicle controls). The medium containing either 300 pM 1a,25(OH)2D3 or vehicle was changed every 24 h . In experiment 1, at 2, 4, 6 and 7 dpf embryos/larvae were removed and immediately frozen at -80 0C for later RNA preparations. 25-30 embryos per set were used for preparation on RNA. At the same times, 7-12 embryos were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde in 0.75 X Dulbecco's phosphate buffered saline (DPBS). In experiment 2, 6 dpf larvae were treated with 1a,25(OH)2D3 (300 pM) or vehicle for 24 h. RNA was prepared from three sets of larvae.

Description
In this study we isolated and cultured neural progenitor cells (NPCs) from human fetal brain collected during the gliogenic phase (second trimester) of aborted fetuses, we differentiated NPCs into astrocyte using different protocols (FBS or CNTF/BMP4) and utilized RNA sequencing to analyze transcriptomic changes underlying the differentiation process Overall design: Neural progenitor cells (NPCs) isolated from 4 different donors (91, 103, 110 and 114 days embryos) were differentiated for 1 week using 2.5% FBS, while 3 NPCs lines (two from 103 and one from 110 days embryo) were differentiated for 1 week in the presence of CNTF/BMP4. RNA was extracted from NPCs before and after differentiation and submitted for sequencing on the Illumina HiSeq 2000 platform

Description
The ERG gene belongs to the ETS family of transcription factors and has been found involved in atypical chromosomal rearrangements in several cancers. To gain insight into the oncogenic activity of ERG, we compared the gene expression profile of NIH-3T3 cells stably expressing the coding regions of the three main ERG oncogenic fusions: TMPRSS2/ERG (tERG), EWS/ERG and FUS/ERG,. We found that all the three ERG fusions significantly up-regulate PIM-1 expression in the NIH-3T3 cell line. PIM-1 is a serine/threonine kinase frequently over-expressed in cancers of haematological and epithelial origin. We show here that tERG expression induces PIM-1 in the non-malignant prostate cell line RWPE-1, strengthening the relation between tERG and PIM-1 up-regulation in the initial stages of prostate carcinogenesis. Silencing of tERG reversed PIM-1 induction. A significant association between ERG and PIM-1 expression in clinical prostate carcinoma specimens was found, suggesting that such a mechanism may be relevant in vivo. Chromatin Immunoprecipitation experiments showed that tERG directly binds to PIM-1 promoter in the RWPE-1 prostate cell line, suggesting that tERG could be a direct regulator of PIM-1 expression. The up-regulation of PIM-1 induced by tERG over-expression significantly modified CyclinB1 levels and increased the percentage of aneuploid cells in the RWPE-1 cell line after 24hrs of taxane-based treatment. Here we provide the first evidence for an ERG-mediated PIM-1 up-regulation in prostate cells in vitro and in vivo, suggesting a direct effect of ERG transcriptional activity in the alteration of genetic stability.

Description
Expression of the proendocrine gene neurogenin 3 (Ngn3) is required for the development of pancreatic islets. In order to better characterize the molecular events regulated by Ngn3 during development, we have determined the expression profile of differentiating murine embryonic stem cells (mESCs) uniformly induced to overexpress Ngn3. An ESC line was created that allows for the induction of Ngn3 by adding doxycycline (Dox) to the culture medium. Genome-wide microarray analysis was performed to identify genes regulated by Ngn3 in a variety of both undifferentiated and differentiated conditions. Characterization of pancreatic developmental markers during embryoid body (EB) formation revealed an optimum context for Ngn3 induction. Neuroendocrine genes including neurogenic differentiation 1 (NeuroD1) and single minded 1 (Sim1) were found to be significantly upregulated. Genes regulated by Ngn3 independent of the context were analyzed using systematic gene ontology tools and revealed Notch signaling as the most significantly regulated signaling pathway (p=0.009). This result is consistent with the hypothesis that Ngn3 expression makes the cell competent for Notch signaling to be activated and conversely, more sensitive to Notch signaling inhibition. Indeed, EBs induced to express Ngn3 were significantly more sensitive to gamma-secretase inhibitor-mediated Notch signaling inhibition (p<0.0001). Moreover, we find that Ngn3 induction in differentiating ESCs results in significant increases in insulin, glucagon, and somatostatin transcription.
