Affymetrix Chicken Genome Array (chicken)
Description
PTIP (Pax2 transactivation domain-interacting protein) is a nuclear protein containing six BRCT domains. It has been shown that PTIP affects gene expression by controlling the activity of the transcription factor Pax2 and histone H3 lysine 4 methyltransferase complexes. In addition to its role in transcriptional regulation, PTIP has been implicated in DNA damage response. To ask if the depletion of PTIP affects the expression level of genes encoding DNA damage response factors , we compared the whole transcripts between wild-type and PTIP deficient chicken DT40 B cell lines.
Publication Title
PTIP promotes DNA double-strand break repair through homologous recombination.

Description
CD34+ fraction of cord blood (CB) cells can be reprogrammed on pronectinF-coated dish in serum free medium using Sendai virus (SeV) vector carrying reprogramming factors OCT3/4, SOX2, KLF4 and c-MYC. human ES cell-like colonies came to merge around 18 days after SeV infection on pronectin-coated dish in human ES cell medium supplemented with bFGF under normoxic culture (20% O2). After passages, dish like-shape colonies were seeded on pronectinF-coated 96 well-plate in a single cell and cultured in N2B27 based medium supplemented with LIF, FK, MAPKi, GSKi in hypoxic culture condition (5% O2) for cloning purpose. Emerged dome shape colonies were collected and cultured in human ES cell medium supplemented with bFGF under normoxic culture (20% O2) again. Dish shape and human ES cell-like colonies derived from single cell were picked up for further appraisal of reprogrammed cells such as expression of pluriotencyrelated molecules. Reprogrammed cells can be maintained for more than 20 passages without differentiation.

Description
Growing evidences are suggesting that extra-long genes in mammals are vulnerable for full-gene length transcription and dysregulation of long genes is a mechanism underlying human genetic disorders. Skeletal muscle expresses Dystrophin which is 2.26 Mbp in length; however, how long-distance transcription is achieved is totally unknown. We had discovered RNA-binding protein SFPQ preferentially binds to long pre-mRNAs and specifically regulates the cluster of neuronal genes > 100 kbp. Here we investigated the roles of SFPQ for long gene expression, target specificities, and also physiological functions in skeletal muscle. Loss of Sfpq selectively downregulated genes >100 kbp including Dystrophin and caused progressive muscle mass reduction and metabolic myopathy characterized by glycogen accumulation and decreased abundance of mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation complexes. Functional clustering analysis identified metabolic pathway related genes as the targets of SFPQ. These findings indicate target gene specificities and tissue-specific physiological functions of SFPQ in skeletal muscle. Overall design: We analyzed polyA-tailed RNA profiles including transcribing RNAs in gastrocnemius skeletal muscle ( from 3 control and 3 Sfpq-/- P35 male mice) using Ion-proton.

Description
We collected and compared samples from the cohort consisted of six groups as follows: methotrexate (MTX) monotherapy, combination therapy of MTX and infliximab (IFX), tocilizumab (TCZ) monotherapy, age- and gender-matched HC, and a small number of synovial fluid samples. In order to reduce variation due to the proportion of cells at each developmental stage, we performed transcriptome analysis after sorting CD4+ and CD8+ T cells according to developmental stage. We created a gene list that was significantly expressed in RA T cells, and revealed that pathways such as mTORC1, IL-2-stat5, Cell cycle and interferon-related genes were significantly enriched among them. Overall design: Examination among healthy controls and patients with rheumatoid arthritis, including before and after treatment

Description
We compared whole CD4+ and CD8+ T cells from frozen PBMC samples that were collected before and after treatment initiation of each patient with rheumatoid arthritis. Lists consisting of 858 and 950 differentially expressed genes were created from CD4 and CD8, respectively, and these were used for enrichment analysis. As a result, we found that certain pathways were downregulated after TCZ treatment in both CD4+ and CD8+ T cells, including mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) signaling, the IL-2 pathway, and IFN-related genes. Overall design: Examination between before and after tocilizumab treatment of CD4 and CD8 T cell in rheumatoid arthritis patients

Description
Estrogen clearly prevents osteoporotic bone loss by attenuating bone resorption. The molecular basis of how this is accomplished, however, remains elusive. Here we report a critical role of osteoclastic ERa in mediating estrogen action on bone in females. We selectively ablated ERa in differentiated osteoclasts (ERa dOc/dOc). ERa dOc/dOc females, but not males, exhibited clear trabecular bone loss, similar to the osteoporotic bone phenotype in post-menopausal women. Recovery of bone loss by estrogen treatment of the ovariectomized ERa dOc/dOc females was ineffective in the trabecular areas of the long bones and lumbar vertebral bodies. Osteoclastic apoptosis, induced by estrogen, occurred simultaneously with up-regulation of Fas ligand (FasL) expression in intact trabecular bones of ERa +/+mice, but not in ERa dOc/dOc mice. ERa was also required for similar effects of estrogen and tamoxifen in cultured osteoclasts. These findings suggest that the osteoprotective actions of estrogen and SERMS are mediated at least in part through osteoclastic ERa in trabecular bone; and the life span of mature osteoclasts is regulated through activation of the Fas/FasL system.

Description
The molecular features of hepatocellular carcinoma arising from non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD-HCC) are not well known. In this study, we investigated the mechanism by which NAFLD-HCC survives in a fat-rich environment. We found that caveolin (CAV)-1 was overexpressed in clinical specimens from NAFLD-HCC patients. HepG2, HLE, and HuH-7 HCC cell lines showed decreased proliferation in the presence of the saturated fatty acids palmitic acid and stearic acid, although only HLE cells expressed high levels of CAV-1. HLE cells treated with oleic acid (OA) showed robust proliferation, whereas CAV-null HepG2 cells showed reduced proliferation and increased apoptosis. CAV-1 knockdown in HLE cells attenuated the OA-induced increase in proliferation and enhanced apoptosis. Liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry analysis revealed that the levels of OA-containing ceramide, a pro-apoptotic factor, were higher in HepG2 and CAV-1-deficient HLE cells than in HLE cells, suggesting that CAV-1 inhibits apoptosis by decreasing the level of OA-containing ceramide. These results indicate that CAV-1 is important for NAFLD-HCC survival in fatty acid-rich environments and is a potential therapeutic target.
