The weaning period consist of a critical postnatal window for structural and physiologic maturation of rat beta cells. To investigate transcriptome changes involved in the maturation of beta cells neighboring this period we performed microarray analysis in FACS beta cell enriched populations to detail the global programme of gene expression to identify its changes during this process.

The HDMP is comprised of classical inbred and recombinant inbred wild-type mice. The RMA values of genes were used for genome-wide association as described in Bennett et al. Genome Research 2010 (PMID 20054062). These data were used to identify candidate genes at loci associated with atherosclerosis.

View SamplesThe contribution of copy number (CN)-altered genes in cervical carcinogenesis is unknown owing to a lack of correlation with gene expression. We mapped CN-altered genes in 31 cervical cancers (CCs), and investigated the expression of 21,000 genes in 55 CCs using microarrays. Biological processes associated with genes deregulated by gene dosage and the relationship between gene dosage and patient survival were investigated. CN-altered genome (CN-AG) percentages varied widely among tumors from 0% to 32.2% (mean = 8.1 8.9). Tumors were classified as low (mean = 0.5 0.6, n = 11), medium (mean = 5.4 2.4, n = 10), or high (mean = 19.2 6.6, n = 10) CN. The highest %CN-AG was found in 3q, which contributed an average of 55% of all CN alterations. Genome-wide, only 5.3% of CN-altered genes were deregulated by gene dosage; by contrast, the rate in fully duplicated 3q was twice as high. Amplification of 3q explained 23.6% of deregulated genes in whole tumors (r2 = 0.236, p = 0.006; analysis of variance), including those in 3q and other chromosomes. A total of 862 genes were deregulated exclusively in high-CN tumors, but only 22.9% were CN altered. This result suggests that the remaining genes are not deregulated directly by gene dosage but by mechanisms induced in trans by CN-altered genes. Anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome (APC/C)-dependent proteasome proteolysis, glycolysis, and apoptosis were upregulated, whereas cell adhesion and angiogenesis were downregulated exclusively in high-CN tumors. The high %CN-AG and upregulated gene expression profiles of APC/C-proteasome-dependent proteolysis and glycolysis were associated with poor patient survival, although only the first 2 correlations were statistically significant (p < 0.05, log-rank test). The data suggest that inhibitors of APC/C-dependent proteasome proteolysis and glycolysis may be useful treatments in these patients.

View SamplesInbred congenic strain B6.C6.132.54/Vad was created using C57BL/6ByJ background and BALB/cJ donor strains. Flanking background markers at chr. 6: 75.9 Mb (rs4226008, NCBI Mouse Build 36 / dbSNP Build 126) and 122.3 Mb (rs3023093), and limiting donor markers at 81.9 Mb (rs4226024) and at 91.8 Mb (rs3712161) defined the introgressed region. We concluded the segment size must be between 9.9 Mb and 46.4 Mb. In a Quantitative Trait Gene identification study we compared brain (without cerebellum) gene expression between progenitors and congenics. Such comparisons can facilitate identification of cis-regulated genes and to establish genetic control of a complex phenotype whose expression is associated with the introgressed chromosome segment.
