Affymetrix Drosophila Genome 2.0 Array (drosophila2)
Description
To compare circadian gene expression within highly discrete neuronal populations, we separately purified and characterized two adjacent but distinct groups of Drosophila adult circadian neurons: the 8 small and 10 large PDF (pigment-dispersing factor)-expressing ventral lateral neurons (s-LNvs and l-LNvs, respectively). The s-LNvs are the principal circadian pacemaker cells, whereas recent evidence indicates that the l-LNvs are involved in sleep and light-mediated arousal. Although half of the l-LNv-enriched mRNA population including core clock mRNAs is shared between the l-LNvs and s-LNvs, the other half is l-LNv- and s-LNv specific. The distribution of four specific mRNAs is consistent with prior characterization of the four encoded proteins and therefore indicates successful purification of the two neuronal types. Moreover, an octopamine receptor mRNA is selectively enriched in l-LNvs, and only these neurons respond to in vitro application of octopamine. Dissection and purification of l-LNvs from flies collected at different times indicate that these neurons contain cycling clock mRNAs with higher circadian amplitudes as well as at least a 10-fold higher fraction of oscillating mRNAs than all previous analyses of head RNA. Many of these cycling l-LNv mRNAs are well-expressed but do not cycle or cycle much less well elsewhere in heads. The results suggest that RNA cycling is much more prominent in circadian neurons than elsewhere in heads and may be particularly important for the functioning of these neurons.

Description
In polygenic disorders we do not know exactly, how many genes are involved in the pathomechanism, but the analysis of fetal gene expression can get us closer to the solution. In our study we were searching for the genetic background of the polygenic neural tube defect, which is the second most common birth defect in the world (1 in 1000 live births). Our data revealed novel candidate genes, like SLAP, LST1 and BENE, which can play an important role in the pathogenesis of neural tube defects. We created a data warehouse from the results, suitable for further analysis. This study also demonstrates that a routinely collected amount of amniotic fluid (as small as 6 mL) is enough to successfully hybridize isolated RNA to expression arrays, making the ability to use the technique from normally collected amniotic fluid samples.

Description
In order to gain insights into how PPARg regulates different facets of dendritic cell (DC) differentiation, we sought to identify PPARg regulated genes and gene networks in monocyte-derived dendritic cells using global gene expression profiling. We employed an exogenous ligand activation approach using a selective PPARg ligand (rosiglitazone abbreviated as RSG). In addition, we have defined culture conditions in which human serum (HS) induces PPARg activation via a yet uncharacterized endogenous mechanism. We also compared the gene expression profile of developing dendritic cells obtained from patients harboring dominant negative mutations of the PPARg receptor (C114R and C131Y).

PPARgamma regulates the function of human dendritic cells primarily by altering lipid metabolism.

Illumina HiSeq 2000
Description
Purpose: RNA-Seq analysis can help identify large set of differentially expressed genes at a time. We performed RNA-Seq analysis to identify differentially expressed genes in the PBMCs of war veterans suffering from PTSD. Methods: Total RNA from PBMCs from PTSD +ve and -ve individuals were used for RNA-Seq analysis. Results: We obtained, on average, ~60 millions reads per sample. More than 70% of the reads were mapped to human genome. Functional analysis of the differentially expressed genes (362) revealed dysregulation in immune system network. Conclusions: Our present study provides further proof that immune system related genes and pathways are dysregulated in PTSD PBMCs. Overall design: RNA-Seq was performed with RNA from 5 each control and PTSD individuals. PBMCs collected within one hour of blood draw were used for RNA isolation. 1 ug of total RNA was used for library synthesis and sequenced in a HighSeq 2000 illumina instrument at Tufts University.

CD14+ human monocytes differentiating into DCs in the presence of IL4 and GM-CSF were treated with agonists for RXR and its partners or vehicle 18 hours after plating (experiment with RXR and permissive partners, donor 1-3) or 14 hours after plating (experiment with nonpermissive partners, donor 4-6). Cells were harvested 12 hours thereafter. Experiments were performed in biological triplicates representing samples from three different donors.
