Description
During meiosis in yeast, global splicing efficiency increases. The mechanism for this is relief of competition for the splicing machinery by repression of intron-containing ribosomal protein genes (RPGs). Repression of RPGs with rapamycin also increases splicing efficiency in vegetative cells. Reducing levels of an RPG-dedicated transcription factor globally improves splicing and suppresses the temperature-sensitive growth defect of a spliceosome mutation. These results indicate that the spliceosome is limiting and pre-mRNAs compete with each other. Under these conditions, splicing efficiency of a given pre-mRNA therefore depends on both its concentration and affinity for the limiting splicing factor(s) as well as those of the competing pre-mRNAs. We propose that trans-competition control of splicing helps repress meiotic gene expression in vegetative cells, and promotes efficient meiosis. Competition between RNAs for a limiting factor may be a general condition important for function of a variety of post-transcriptional control mechanisms. Overall design: Splicing and gene expression profiles of 1) wild type yeast cells treated with rapamycin (2 biological replicates) relative to untreated cells and 2) prp4-1 pGAL-IFH1 (down-regulated expression of IFH1 transcription factor(specific for ribosomal protein genes)) relative to prp4-1 yeast.

Description
To dissect the functions of syndecan-1 in the nucleus, and separate them from functions related to the cell-surface, we transfected fibrosarcoma cells with two constructs: one encoding the full-length syndecan-1, which translocates to the nucleus and another encoding syndecan-1 lacking the RMKKK nuclear localization signal with hampered nuclear translocation.

Description
We aimed to investigate the function of syndecan-1 in tumor cell adhesion and migration, with special focus on the importance of its distinct protein domains, to better understand the structure-function relationship of syndecan-1 in tumor progression. We utilized two mesenchymal tumor cell lines which were transfected to stably overexpress full-length syndecan-1 or truncated variants: the 78 which lacks the extracellular domain except the DRKE sequence proposed to be essential for oligomerization, the 77 which lacks the whole extracellular domain, and the RMKKK which serves as a nuclear localization signal. Various bioassays for cell adhesion, chemotaxis, random movement and wound healing were studied. Furthermore we performed gene microarray to analyze the global gene expression pattern influenced by syndecan-1.

Description
The transcriptomic responses of syndecan-1 silencing in a human mesothelioma cell line was followed with microarray analysis. To project the transcriptome analysis on the full-dimensional picture of cellular regulation, we applied a novel method of network enrichment analysis which elucidated signalling relations between differentially expressed genes and pathways acting via various molecular mechanisms.

Description
Room temperature whole blood mRNA stabilization procedures, such as the PAX gene system, are critical for the application of transcriptional analysis to population-based clinical studies. Global transcriptome analysis of whole blood RNA using microarrays has proven to be challenging due to the high abundance of globin transcripts that constitute 70% of whole blood mRNA in the blood. This is a particular problem in patients with sickle-cell disease, secondary to the high abundance of globin-expressing nucleated red blood cells and reticulocytes in the circulation . In order to more accurately measure the steady state whole blood transcriptome in sickle-cell patients, we evaluated the efficacy of reducing globin transcripts in PAXgene stabilized RNA samples for genome-wide transcriptome analyses using oligonucleotide arrays. We demonstrate here by both microarrays and Q-PCR that the globin mRNA depletion method resulted in 55-65 fold reduction in globin transcripts in whole blood collected from healthy volunteers and sickle-cell disease patients. This led to an improvement in microarray data quality with increased detection rate of expressed genes and improved overlap with the expression signatures of isolated peripheral blood mononuclear (PBMC) preparations. The differentially modulated genes from the globin depleted samples had a higher correlation coefficient to the 112 genes identified to be significantly altered in our previous study on sickle-cell disease using PBMC preparations. Additionally, the analysis of differences between the whole blood transcriptome and PBMC transcriptome reveals important erythrocyte genes that participate in sickle-cell pathogenesis and compensation. The combination of globin mRNA reduction after whole-blood RNA stabilization represents a robust clinical research methodology for the discovery of biomarkers for hematologic diseases and in multicenter clinical trials investigating a wide range of nonhematologic disorders where fractionation of cell types is impracticable.

Description
Pyrethroids are neurotoxicants that disrupt nervous system function by interacting with a variety of membrane bound ion channels on neuronal plasma membranes. This study is designed to investigate the transcriptional events downstream of pyrethroid-induced disruption of nervous system excitability. Adult, male Long-Evans rats were orally dosed in vivo with a single dose of either permethrin (1, 10, or 100 mg/kg) or deltamethrin (0.3, 1, 3 mg/kg) at levels that produce only modest behaviroal effects in the whole animal (Wolansky et al. 2006). Transcriptional profiles were obtained from frontal cerebrocortical tissue 6 hours after acute exposure. The primary goals were 1) to identify dose-responsive biomarkers of effect for pyrethroids and 2) identify sensitive intracellular signaling or metabolic pathways sensitive to pyrethroid compounds.
