Affymetrix Human Gene 1.0 ST Array (hugene10st)
Description
Hypoxia triggers aggressive cancer growth and contributes to chemotherapy resistance. Novel therapeutic strategies aim at targeting hypoxia activated signaling pathways. Tumor hypoxia not only affects neoplastic tumor cells but also the surrounding stroma cells. Therefore, a novel ex vivo model was established, which allows the study of hypoxia effects in fragments of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with preserved tumor microenvironment and 3D-structure. Microarray analysis identified 107 significantly regulated genes with at least two-fold expression change in hypoxic compared to normoxic fragments. However, only four genes were significantly regulated in both subtypes, adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma. The hypoxic regulation of these four genes was verified in an independent set using quantitative PCR.

Description
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA) carries a dismal prognosis and current treatments are only modestly effective. We present evidence that this variation is caused in part by recurrent, pervasive molecular differences between tumors. mRNA expression profiles measured using microdissected PDA clinical samples reveal three dominant subtypes of disease; epithelial, mesenchymal and acinar-like. The classical and quasi-mesenchymal subtypes are observed in human and mouse PDA cell lines. Importantly, responses to cytotoxics and KRAS depletion in human PDA cell lines differ substantially between subtypes, and in opposing directions. Integrated genomics implicate and functional studies support overexpression of the trancription factor GATA6 as a driver of the epithelial subtype. These results provide a molecular framework for evaluating the prospects of personalized treatment in PDA.

- Affymetrix Yeast Genome 2.0 Array (yeast2)
Description
The conserved Snf1/AMPK (AMP-activated protein Kinase) family is one of the central components in nutrient sensing and regulation of carbon metabolism in eukaryotes. It is also involved in several other processes such as stress resistance, invasive growth and ageing. Snf1 kinase is composed of a catalytic -subunit Snf1, a regulatory -subunit Snf4 and one of three possible -subunits, Sip1, Sip2 or Gal83. We used a systematic approach to study the role of the three -subunits by analyzing all 7 possible combinations of -subunit deletions together with the reference strain.
Publication Title
The beta-subunits of the Snf1 kinase in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Gal83 and Sip2, but not Sip1, are redundant in glucose derepression and regulation of sterol biosynthesis.

Description
Background & Aims: Genome-wide gene expression (GWGE) profiles of mucosal colonic biopsies have suggested the existence of a continuous inflammatory state in quiescent ulcerative colitis (UC). The aim of this study was to use DNA microarray-based GWGE profiling of mucosal colonic biopsies and isolated colonocytes from UC patients and controls in order to identify the cell types responsible for the continuous inflammatory state. Methods: Adjacent mucosal colonic biopsies were obtained endoscopically from the descending colon in patients with active UC (n=8), quiescent UC (n=9), and with irritable bowel syndrome (controls, n=10). After isolation of colonocytes and subsequent extraction of total RNA, GWGE data were acquired using Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 GeneChip Array (Affymetrix, Santa Clara, CA). Data analysis was carried out by principal component analysis and projection to latent structure-discriminant analysis using the SIMCA-P11 software (Umetrics, Ume, Sweden). Results: A clear separation between active UC, quiescent UC and control biopsies were found, whereas the model for the colonocytes was unable to distinguish between quiescent UC and controls. The differentiation between quiescent UC and control biopsies was governed by unique profiles containing gene expressions with significant fold changes. These primarily belonged to the family of homeostatic chemokines revealing a plausible explanation to the abnormal regulated innate immune response seen in patients with UC. Conclusion: This study has demonstrated the presence of a continuous inflammatory state in quiescent UC, which seems to reflect an altered gene expression profile of lamina propria cells.

Affymetrix Zebrafish Genome Array (zebrafish)
Description
Olsen et al (2010) have shown that induced Diabetes mellitus (DM) in adult Zebrafish results in an impairment of tissue regeneration as monitored by caudal fin regeneration. In those studies, streptozocin was used to induce hyperglycemia in adult zebrafish, and then, following streptozocin withdrawal, a recovery phase was allowed to re-establish euglycemia, due to pancreatic b-cell regeneration. DM-associated impaired fin regeneration continued indefinitely in the metabolic memory state (MM); allowing for subsequent molecular analysis of the underlying mechanisms of MM. This study focuses on elucidating the molecular basis explaining DM-associated impaired fin regeneration and why it persists into the MM state. The analysis of microarray data indicated that of the 14,900 transcripts analyzed, aberrant expression of 71 genes relating to tissue developmental and regeneration processes were identified in DM fish and the aberrant expression of these 71 genes persisted into the MM state. Key regulatory genes of major signal transduction pathways were identified among this group of 71; and therefore, these findings provide a possible explanation for how hyperglycemia induces impaired fin regeneration and why it continues into the MM state.
