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
Poorly differentiated type synovial sarcoma (PDSS) is a variant of synovial sarcoma characterized by predominantly round or short-spindled cells. Although accumulating evidence from clinicopathological studies suggests a strong association between this variant of synovial sarcoma and poor prognosis, little has been reported on the molecular basis of PDSS. To gain insight into the mechanism(s) that underlie the emergence of PDSS, we analyzed the gene expression profiles of 34 synovial sarcoma clinical samples, including 5 cases of PDSS, using an oligonucleotide microarray. In an unsupervised analysis, the 34 samples fell into 3 groups that correlated highly with histological subtype, namely, monophasic, biphasic, and poorly differentiated types. PDSS was characterized by down-regulation of genes associated with neuronal and skeletal development and cell adhesion, and up-regulation of genes on a specific chromosomal locus, 8q21.11. This locus-specific transcriptional activation in PDSS was confirmed by reverse transcriptase (RT)-PCR analysis of 9 additional synovial sarcoma samples. Our results indicate that PDSS tumors constitute a distinct genetic group based on expression profiles.

Description
C-C chemokine ligand 2 (CCL2) plays pivotal roles in tumor formation, progression, and metastasis. Although CCL2 expression has been found to be dependent on the nuclear factor (NF)B signaling pathway, the regulation of CCL2 production in tumor cells has remained unclear. We have identified a noncanonical pathway for regulation of CCL2 production that is mediated by mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) but independent of NF-B. Multiple phosphoproteomics approaches identified the transcription factor forkhead box K1 (FOXK1) as a downstream target of mTORC1. Activation of mTORC1 induces dephosphorylation of FOXK1 resulting in transactivation of the CCL2 gene. Inhibition of the mTORC1-FOXK1 axis attenuated insulin-induced CCL2 production as well as the accumulation of tumor-associated monocytes-macrophages and tumor progression in mice. Our results suggest that FOXK1 directly links mTORC1 signaling and CCL2 expression in a manner independent of NF-B, and that CCL2 produced by this pathway contributes to tumor progression.

Description
It is well-known that indomethacin (the cyclooxygenase 1 & 2 inhibitor) and RU486 (or mifepristone, the progesterone receptor antagonist) block follicular rupture in rats. To characterize genetic alterations in unruptured follicles, gene expression profiles in ovarian follicle were analyzed in indomethacin- and RU486-treated female Sprague-Dawley rats. Ovaries are collected at 22:00 on the proestrus day and 10:00 on the following estrus day after a single dose of indomethacin and RU486. Histopathologically, changes depicting responses to LH surge were observed in ovaries, uteri and vagina. Total RNA was extracted from pre-ovulatory follicles or unruptured follicles collected by laser microdissection and analyzed by GeneChip. Among genes showing statistically significant changes compared to control groups, following changes were considered relevant to induction of unruptured follicles. In indomethacin-treated rats, Wnt4 was down-regulated, suggesting effect on tissue integrity and steroid genesis. In RU486-treated rats, Adamts1, Adamts9, Edn2, Ednra, Lyve1, Plat, and Pparg were down-regulated. These changes suggest effects on proteolysis for extracellular matrix or surrounding tissue (Adamts1 & 9, and Plat), constriction of smooth muscle surrounding follicles (Edn2, Ednra, and Pparg), follicular fluid (Lyve1), and angiogenesis (Pparg). Down-regulation of angiogenesis related genes (Angpt2, Hmox1, and Vegfa) was observed in both treatment groups. Here, we clarify genetic alterations induced by the inhibition of cyclooxygenase or progesterone receptor.

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
In chicken DT40 cells, there are six linker histone H1 variants and 12 of coding genes. We have previously reported of 11 out of 12 H1 knock out DT40 cells (Takami et al., Genes to Cell 1997 [PMID:9491804]) but complete H1 null DT40 cells could not established, so far. We identified one of the H1 variant, H1R was involved in genomic instabilities (Hashimoto et al., DNA repair (2007) [17613284]), so we re-introduced floxed H1R-eGFP and mer-cre-mer into 11 out of 12 H1 knock out DT40 cells. Then we targeted last enedogenous H1, we successfully established conditional H1 KO cells (K11). Next we treated with tamoxifen to loop out floxed H1R-eGFP, and cloning H1 completely null cells (K11-5, and K11-7). We analysis those gene expression pattern in wild-type, K11, and K11-5 cells (Hashimoto et al., NAR (2010), PMID:20156997)
Publication Title
A single copy of linker H1 genes is enough for proliferation of the DT40 chicken B cell line, and linker H1 variants participate in regulation of gene expression.

Description
We have previously showed that whey protein hydrolysate (WPH) causes a greater increase in muscle protein synthesis than an identical composition of amino acids mixture does. The present study was conducted to investigate a comparative effect of WPH on gene expression. Male Sprague-Dawley rats subjected to a 2-h swimming exercise were administered either a carbohydrate-amino acid diet or a carbohydrate-WPH diet immediately after exercise. One hour after exercise, epitrochlearis muscle mRNA was sampled and subjected to DNA microarray analysis. As a result, ingestion of WPH altered 189 genes in considering the false discovery rate. Among the upregulated genes, 8 Gene Ontology (GO) terms were enriched, which included key elements in muscle repair after exercise such as Cd24, Ccl2, Ccl7 and Cxcl1. On the other hand, 9 GO terms were enriched in the gene sets downregulated by ingestion of WPH and these GO terms fell into 2 clusters, regulation of ATPase activity, and immune response. Furthermore, we found that WPH activate the 2 upstream proteins, extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2) and hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1), which may act as key factors for regulation of gene expression. These results suggest that ingestion of WPH, compared to an identical composition of amino acid mixture, induces greater changes in the after-exercise gene expression profile via activation of the proteins, ERK1/2 and HIF-1.
