Affymetrix Human Gene 1.0 ST Array (hugene10st)
Description
Introduction: In the recently completed Dutch GLUCOLD study, treatment of COPD patients with fluticasone salmeterol reduced the rate of decline in FEV1. These results indicate that ICS can have therapeutic efficacy in COPD. Aim: To explore the molecular mechanisms by which ICS exert their effects, we performed genome-wide gene expression profiling on bronchial biopsies from COPD patients who participated in the GLUCOLD study. Methods: An Affymetrix Human Gene Array ST version 1.0 was performed in a total of 221 bronchial biopsies that were available from 90 COPD patients at baseline and after 6 and 30 months of therapy. Linear mixed effects modeling was used to analyze treatment-specific changes in gene expression. A validation set was included and pathway analysis was performed with Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA). Results: The expression of 138 genes significantly decreased after both 6 and 30 months of treatment with fluticasone salmeterol versus placebo, whereas the expression of 140 genes increased. A more pronounced treatment-induced change in expression of 51 of these 278 genes was associated with a slower rate of decline in FEV1. Genes that decreased with treatment were involved in pathways related to cell cycle, oxidative phosphorylation, epithelial cell signaling, p53 signaling and T cell signaling. Genes that increased with treatment were involved in pathways related to focal adhesion, gap junction and extracellular matrix deposition. Conclusion: The present study suggests that gene expression in biological pathways of COPD is dynamic with treatment and reflects disease activity. This study opens the gate to targeted and phenotype-driven therapy of COPD.

Description
BACKGROUND: We have previously reported gene expression changes in the bronchial airway epithelium of active chronic smokers. In this study, we investigate the effects of Acute Smoke Exposure (ASE) from cigarettes on airway epithelial gene expression. METHODS: Bronchial airway epithelial cell brushings were collected via fiberoptic bronchoscopy from 63 individuals without recent exposure to cigarette smoke (> 2 days), at baseline and at 24 hours after smoking three cigarettes. RNA from these samples was profiled on Affymetrix Human Gene 1.0 ST microarrays. Differential gene expression was assessed using linear modeling and compared to previous smoking-related gene-expression signatures using Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA). RESULTS: We identified 91 genes differentially expressed 24-hours after exposure to three cigarettes (FDR < 0.25). ASE induces genes involved in xenobiotic metabolism, oxidative stress, and inflammation; and represses genes involved in cilium morphogenesis, and cell cycle. Genes induced by in vivo ASE are concordantly altered by ASE in vitro. While many genes altered by ASE are altered similarly in the airway of chronic smokers, metallothionein genes were induced by ASE and suppressed among chronic smokers. Metallothioneins were also suppressed in the bronchial airway of current and former chronic smokers with lung cancer relative to those with benign disease. CONCLUSIONS: Acute exposure to as little as three cigarettes alters gene-expression in bronchial airway epithelium in a manner that largely resembles the changes seen in chronic active smokers. The difference in the short-term and long-term effects of smoking on metallothionein expression and its relationship to lung cancer requires further study given these enzymes role in responding to oxidative stress.

Description
An unexplored consequence of epigenetic alterations associated with cancer is the ectopic expression of tissue-restricted genes. Here, a new strategy was developed to decipher genome-wide expression data in search for these off-context gene activations, which consisted first, in identifying a large number of tissue-specific genes normally epigenetically silenced in most somatic cells and second, in using them as cancer biomarkers on an on/off basis. Applying this concept to analyze whole-genome transcriptome data in lung cancer, we discovered a specific group of 26 genes whose expression was a strong and independent predictor of poor prognosis in our cohort of 293 lung tumours, as well as in two independent external populations. In addition, these 26 classifying genes enabled us to isolate a homogenous group of metastatic-prone highly aggressive tumours, whose characteristic gene expression profile revealed a high proliferative potential combined to a significant decrease in immune and signaling functions. This work illustrates a new approach for a personalized management of cancer, with applications to any cancer type.

Description
Foxo1 is required for proper developmental progression due to distinct functions at different stages of B cell development, but specific gene targets in pro-B cells are not identified. We performed a microarray analysis in v-Abl transformed pro-B cells to compare the gene expression pattern between wildtype and Foxo1 knockout cells.

Plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) induce positive effects in plants, such as increased growth or reduced stress susceptibility. The mechanisms behind PGPR/plant interaction are poorly understood, as most studies have described short- term responses on plants and only a few studies have analyzed plant molecular responses under PGPR colonization.
