Description
We individually examined the ability of human ARGFX, DPRX, LEUTX, and TPRX1 to regulate gene expression by ectopically expressing these proteins in fibroblasts. Overall design: Each gene along with an empty control vector were transfected individually to drive ectopic expression in human dermal fibroblasts, in triplicate.

Affymetrix Mouse Genome 430 2.0 Array (mouse4302)
Description
Efferent inhibition of cochlear outer hair cells is mediated by nicotinic cholinergic receptors containing alpha9 (a9) and alpha10 subunits. Mice lacking a9 nicotinic subunits fail to exhibit classic olivocochlear responses and are characterized by abnormal synaptic morphology at the base of outer hair cells. To detail molecular changes induced upon the loss of a9 subunit, we sampled cochlear RNA from wild type and a9 null mice at postnatal (P) days spanning periods of synapse formation and maturation (P3, P7, P13 and P60). Our findings point to a delay in cochlear maturation starting at the onset of hearing (P13), as well as an up-regulation of various GABA receptor subunits in adult mice lacking the a9 nicotinic subunit.

Description
Purpose: The DBA/2J mouse is a model for secondary angle-closure glaucoma due to iris atrophy and pigment dispersion, which ultimately leads to increased intraocular pressure (IOP). We sought to correlate changes in retinal gene expression with glaucoma-like pathology by performing microarray analysis of retinal RNA from DBA/2J mice at 3 months before disease onset, and at 8 months, after IOP elevation. Methods: IOP was monitored monthly in DBA/2J animals by Tono-Pen and animals with normal (3 months) or elevated IOP (8 months) were identified. RNA was prepared from 3 individual retinas at each age, and the RNA was amplified and used to generate biotin-labeled probe for high density mouse Affymetrix arrays (U430.2). A subset of genes was selected for confirmation by quantitative RT-PCR using independent retina samples from DBA/2J animals at 3, 5 and 8 months of age, and compared to retinas from C57BL/6J control animals at 3 and 8 months. Results: There were changes in expression of 68 genes, with 32 genes increasing and 36 genes decreasing at 8 months versus 3 months. Upregulated genes were associated with immune response, glial activation, signaling and gene expression, while down-regulated genes included multiple crystallin genes. Significant changes in 9 upregulated genes and 2 downregulated genes were confirmed by quantitative RT-PCR, with some showing changes in expression by 5 months. Conclusions: DBA/2J retina shows evidence for glial activation and an immune-related response following IOP elevation, similar to what has been reported following acute elevation of IOP in other models.

Description
Microglia have important remodeling functions in development and disease. There is evidence for molecular diversity of microglia suggesting they may exist in distinct functional states to differentially impact CNS health and function. To better understand this in development, we profiled microglia of a discrete developing CNS region, the murine retina. We find that retinal microglia transition through unique transcriptional states and identify a population with peak density postnatally that resemble adult disease-associated microglia (DAM) and CD11c+ microglia of developing white matter, we term DAM-like. Developmental cell death is a major driver of the DAM-like phenotype, and TREM2 signaling is required for select DAM gene expression. Notably, DAM-like cells that highly express CD11c are not dependent on CSF1R signaling for survival, and TREM2 signaling is required for CSF1R independence in a subset of microglia. Thus, microglial phenotype in development is influenced by local developmental events and may share features with microglia in disease. Overall design: mRNA profiles of whole retina and sorted retinal microglia from embryonic day (e)16.5, postnatal day (P)7 and adult (P60) mice were generated by deep sequencing.

Description
We investigated the gene expression profile changes after Ezh2 conditional knockout in the mouse retina at E16.5. Loss of Ezh2 leads to up-regulation of PRC2 targeted genes including cell cycle regulators and multiple genes which are not normally expressed in the retina, including many Hox genes. Loss of Ezh2 resulted in a dramatic decline in progenitor proliferation by postnatal day 3, such that there is an early end to neurogenesis, and disruption of laminar organization. Although there are only minor effects on embryonic retinal development, there is accelerated differentiation of several late born cell types postnatally, including photoreceptors and Mueller glia, which become reactive by postnatal day 14. Overall design: Peripheral retina was dissected at E16.5 from Pax6alpha-Cre:Ezh2fl/+ and Pax6alpha-Cre:Ezh2fl/null mouse embryos. Total RNA was purified and RNA deep sequencing was done using 4 controls and 4 conditional knockout samples.

Ezh2 maintains retinal progenitor proliferation, transcriptional integrity, and the timing of late differentiation.

RhoGDIbeta (ARHGDIB) is often expressed in tumor cells. It negatively regulates Rho-GTPases, but may have other functions as well. To analyze its effect on gene expression, RhoGDIbeta was suppressed by RNA interference in MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells and changes in gene expression monitored by cDNA microarrays.
