We measured gene expression in the adrenal glands of the Spontaneously Hypertensive Rat (SHR) and Wistar-Kyoto rat (WKY) using Affymetrix RG-U34A GeneChips. All rats were aged-matched at 4-weeks. The rats were obtained from the colonies at the Univeristy of California San Diego, La Jolla, CA.

View SamplesThere is much controversy about the role of T-regulatory cells (Treg) in human colon cancer. High densities of tumor-infiltrating Treg can correlate with better or worse clinical outcomes depending on the sutdy. Treg have potent anti-inflammatory functions that have been shown to control cancer progression. However, Treg isolated from patient with colon cancer or in mouse models of polyposis do not have the ability to suppress inflammation and instead promote cancer. Gene expression was preformed to determine differences between Treg isolated from healthy mice and Treg isolated from polyp-ridden mice.

View SamplesResearch shows that mindfulness practice can alter the expression of genes associated with energy metabolism, telomere maintenance, inflammatory and stress response. The aim of this study was to determine if mindfulness awareness practice (MAP) or health education program (HEP) might reverse cognitive impairment and/or prevent further cognitive decline in 60 subjects (aged 60-90). We investigated the gene expression changes in subject with mild cognitive impairment randomized to either group after 9 months.

Microcephaly gene links trithorax and REST/NRSF to control neural stem cell proliferation and differentiation.

View SamplesThe progression from stem cell to differentiated neuron is associated with extensive chromatin remodeling that controls gene expression, but the mechanisms that connect chromatin to gene expression are not well defined. Here we show that mutation of ZNF335 causes severe human microcephaly ("small brain"), small somatic size, and neonatal death. Germline Znf335 null mutations are embryonically lethal in mice, whereas RNA-interference studies and postmortem human studies show that Znf335 is essential for neural progenitor self-renewal, neurogenesis, and neuronal differentiation. Znf335 is a component of a vertebrate-specific, trithorax H3K4 methylation complex, while global ChIP-seq and mRNA expression studies show that Znf335 is a previously unsuspected, direct regulator of REST/NRSF, a master regulator of neural gene expression and neural cell fate, as well as other essential neural-specific genes. Our results reveal ZNF335 as an essential link between H3K4 complexes and REST/NRSF, and provide the first direct evidence that this pathway regulates human neurogenesis and neuronal differentiation.

View SamplesPA3225 is a LysR-type transcriptional regulator, and the ?PA3225 deletion mutant is more resistant to various antibiotics than the wild-type PA14 strain in both planktonic and biofilm cells. In order to characterise the regulon of PA3225, we compared the transcriptomes of biofilm and planktonic ?PA3225 to biofilm and planktonic PA14 wild-type by RNA-seq. Overall design: RNA was isolated from planktonic and biofilm PA14 wild-type and ?PA3225 cells (3 biological replicates for each condition = 12 samples) and submitted to McGill University and Genome Quebec Innovation Centre for library preparation, RNA-seq, and data processing.
