Affymetrix Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 Array (hgu133plus2)
Description
Our previous study using nude rats revealed that the parental JDCaP xenografts predominantly expressed full-length androgen receptor (AR) whereas the relapsed JDCaP xenografts after castration acquired AR splice variants including AR-V7 and ARv567es. To understand molecular mechanisms underlying the acquisition of AR splice variants in the JDCaP model, we performed microarray analysis using RNA samples of the xenografts without castration (Parent), the relapsed xenografts overexpressing full-length AR and AR-V7 (ARhiV7hi), and the relapsed xenografts expressing ARv567es (ARv567es).

Description
Global DNA hypomethylation and DNA hypermethylation of promoter regionsincluding tumor suppressor genesare frequently detected in human cancers. Although many studies have suggested a contribution to carcinogenesis, it is still unclear whether the aberrant DNA hypomethylation observed in tumors is a consequence or a cause of cancer. We found that overexpression of Stella (also known as PGC7, Dppa3), a maternal factor required for the maintenance of DNA methylation in early embryos, induced global DNA hypomethylation and transformation in NIH3T3 cells. This hypomethylation was due to the binding of Stella to Np95 (also known as Uhrf1, ICBP90) and the subsequent impairment of Dnmt1 localization. In addition, enforced expression of Stella enhanced the metastatic ability of B16 melanoma cells through the induction of metastasis-related genes by inducing DNA hypomethylation of their promoter regions. Such DNA hypomethylation itself causes cellular transformation and metastatic ability. These data provide new insight into the function of global DNA hypomethylation in carcinogenesis.

Description
Hematopoietic cells arise from spatiotemporally restricted domains in the developing embryo. Although studies of non-mammalian animal and in vitro embryonic stem cell models suggest a close relationship among cardiac, endocardial, and hematopoietic lineages, it remains unknown whether the mammalian heart tube serves as a hemogenic organ akin to the dorsal aorta. Here, we examined the hemogenic activity of the developing endocardium. Mouse heart explants generated myeloid and erythroid colonies in the absence of circulation. Hemogenic activity arose from a subset of endocardial cells in the outflow cushion and atria earlier than in the aorta-gonad-mesonephros region, and was transient and definitive in nature. Interestingly, key cardiac transcription factors, Nkx2-5 and Isl1, were expressed in and required for the hemogenic activity of the endocardium. Together, these data suggest that a subset of endocardial and yolk sac endothelial cells expressing cardiac markers serve as a de novo source for transient definitive hematopoietic progenitors.

Pulmonary dendritic cells are heterogenous cells comprise four distinct subsets including two conventional dendritic cell subsets, CD103+ and CD11bhiCD14lo cells, and two monocyte-derived dendritic cell subsets. Their functions in terms of migration and T cell activation are distinct, but genes regulating their features are to be determined.

Description
Transition from primed to naive pluripotency is associated with dynamic changes in transposable element (TE) expression and demethylation of imprinting control regions (ICRs). In mouse, ICR methylation and TE expression are each regulated by TRIM28; however, the role of TRIM28 in humans is less clear. Here, we show that a null mutation in TRIM28 causes significant alterations in TE expression in both the naive and primed states of human pluripotency, and phenotypically this has limited effects on self-renewal, instead causing a loss of germline competency. Furthermore, we discovered that TRIM28 regulates paternal ICR methylation and chromatin accessibility in the primed state, with no effects on maternal ICRs. Taken together, our study shows that abnormal TE expression is tolerated by self-renewing human pluripotent cells, whereas germline competency is not. Overall design: Examination of transcription, DNA methylation and chromatin accessibility of human ES cells for wild type and Trim28 knockout.

Description
Interaction between the host and invading pathogen determines the fate of both organisms during the infectious state. The host is equipped with a battery of immune reactions, while the pathogen displays a variety of mechanisms to compromise host immunity. Although bacteria alter their pattern of gene expression when they enter host organisms, studies to elucidate the mechanism behind this are only in their infancy. In the present study, we examined the possibility that host immune proteins directly participate in the change of gene expression in bacteria. To this end, Escherichia coli was treated with a mixture of the extracellular region of membrane-bound peptidoglycan recognition protein LC (PGRP-LC) and the antimicrobial peptide attacin of Drosophila, and subsequently subjected to DNA microarray analysis for the repertoire of mRNA. We identified nearly 200 genes whose mRNA increased after the treatment, and at least four of them were induced in response to PGRP-LC. One such gene, lipoprotein-encoding nlpI, showed a transient increase of its mRNA level in adult flies depending on PGRP-LC, and NlpI-lacking E. coli had a smaller pathogenic effect with lowered growth/viability than the parental strain in adult flies. These results suggest that a host immune receptor triggers a change of gene expression in bacteria simultaneously to their recognition of the invader and induction of immune responses.

Description
We analyzed the global transcriptome signature over the time course of the cardiac differentiation from hESC by RNA-seq. We characterized the genome-wide transcriptome profile of 5 distinct stages; undifferentiated hESC (day 0), mesodermal precursor stage (hMP, day 2), cardiac progenitor stage (hCP, day 5), immature cardiomyocyte (hCM14) and hESC-CMS differentiated for 14 additional days (hCM28). While the stem cell signature decreases over the five stages, the signatures associated with heart and smooth muscle development increase, indicating the efficient cardiac differentiation of our protocol. Overall design: Five different temporal samples, two replicates for only first four samples day 0 through day 15

Description
Wakame is an edible seaweed that is a common constituent in the Japanese diet. Previous studies showed that wakame consumption is associated with prevention of metabolic syndrome; however, the molecular mechanisms of this protective effect are poorly understood. To determine if the expression of hepatic genes is affected by the ingestion of brown seaweed, Undaria pinnatifida (wakame), rats were fed diets containing 0, 0.1, or 1.0 g/100 g dried wakame powder for 28 days. Administration of 1% wakame significantly decreased total serum total cholesterol levels. Hepatic gene expression was investigated using DNA microarray analysis. Microarray analysis showed that wakame suppresses the lipogenic pathway by downregulating SREBF-1. Moreover, bile acid biosynthesis and gluconeogenesis are promoted by upregulation of the PPAR signaling pathway, which leads to a reduction in the accumulation of cholesterol and promotion of -oxidation. These results provide useful genetic information about various biochemical processes by which wakame regulates energy metabolism.
