Characterisation of the tumor extrinsic (immune-mediated) mechanisms by which panobinostat and trastuzumab can collaboratively promote tumor-associated NK cell infiltration to eradicate trastuzumab-refractory HER2+ tumors Overall design: RNA sequencing was performed on established whole AU565(pv) HER2+ human breast tumors, harvested from SCID mice 2-days post treatment initiation with vehicle (PBS/D5W), panobinostat (15mg/kg/day), trastuzumab (10mg/kg day 1) or both drugs in combination. Each treatment group comprised of 4 mice.

To more broadly analyze how local complement signaling affects DC maturation process in response to TLR9 stimulation, WT or C3ar1-/-C5ar1-/- mice were stimulated with CpG (i.v. 100 micrograms) or vehicle control. 4hrs later, splenic CD11c+DCs were isolated and RNAs from the cells were purified for microarray analyses.

View SamplesAnalysis of whole genome expression changes in livers from wild type animals and animals with a liver specific transgenic over expression of Cyp7a1. Mice were given a chronic, repetitive administration of LPS for 7 days. Our prior analysis had indicated that inflammation suppresses Cyp7a1 and that this leads to accumulation of intermediates in the mevalonate biosynthesis pathway. Here, we hypothesized that over expression of Cyp7a1 would not affect the changes in transcriptional state due to chronic administration of LPS. We provide gene expression data which evaluates this question. Here we find that over expression of Cyp7a1 minimally alters the transcriptome of livers in an untreated state, and that it has small effects on the response to chronic LPS. Overall design: Total RNA isolated from livers of wild type and liver specific Cyp7a1 transgenic animals treated with or without recurrent, daily LPS injections (1.5mg/kg) for 7 days. There are two biological replicates per condition. Samples are a matrix of all conditions reported as FPKMs.

View SamplesAnalysis of whole genome expression changes in primary hepatocytes in response to chronic stimulation with inflammatory cytokines. We hypothesized that chronic treatment of primary hepatocytes with TNF would result in a reprogramming of the cell's transcriptome to improve adaptation to the presence of a chronic inflammatory stress. Here we provide expression analysis detailing genes upregulated, downregulated, and unchanged after 2 days of TNF treatment. We have included gene expression profiling of cells treated with TNF for 2 hours to help isolate the changes unique to chronic TNF treatment of primary hepatocytes.

View SamplesIn this study, we have identified MEF2A-sensitive genes in atrial and ventricular chambers of the adult heart. MEF2A is a member of the myocyte enhancer factor 2 (MEF2) family of transcription factors. MEF2 proteins are expressed in skeletal and cardiac muscle tissues and are conserved across many mammalian species, but the gene programs regulated by MEF2A in adult cardiac chambers are largely unknown. We compared gene expression profiles between WT and Mef2a knockout atria and ventricles from adult mice, and the results identified distinct and overlapping sets of genes sensitive to the loss of MEF2A in the adult heart.
