Affymetrix Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 Array (hgu133plus2)
Description
Compounds with direct immunotoxic properties, including metals, mycotoxins, agricultural pesticides and industrial chemicals, form potential human health risks due to exposure through food, drinking water, and the environment. Insights into the mechanisms of action are currently lacking for the majority of these direct immunotoxicants. Therefore, the present work aimed to gain insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying direct immunotoxicity. To this end, we assessed in vitro the effects of 31 test compounds on the transcriptome of the human Jurkat T cell line. These compounds included direct immunotoxicants, immunosuppressive drugs with different mode of actions, and non-immunotoxic control chemicals. Pathway analysis of the microarray data allowed us to identify canonical pathways and Gene Ontology processes that were transcriptionally regulated in common by immunotoxicants (i) with structural similarities, such as the tributyltins TBTC and TBTO that activated the retinoic acid / X receptor (RAR / RXR) signaling pathway, and (ii) without structural similarities, such as As2O3, DBTC, diazinon, MeHg, ochratoxin A, S9 treated ochratoxin A, S9 treated cyclophosphamide, and S9 treated benzo[a]pyrene, that activated unfolded protein response, and FTY720, lindane, and propanil, that activated the cholesterol biosynthesis pathway. In addition, processes uniquely affected by individual immunotoxicants were identified, such as the induction of Notch receptor signaling and the down regulation of acute phase response genes by ochratoxin A. These findings were validated by quantitative Real-Time PCR (Q-RT-PCR) analysis of genes involved in these processes. Our study indicated that diverse modes of action are involved in direct immunotoxicity and that a set of pathways or genes, rather than one single gene can be used to screen compounds for direct immunotoxicity.

Description
Antiretroviral therapy (ART) has reduced morbidity and mortality in HIV infection; however HIV-1-associated neurocognitive disorders (HAND) persist despite treatment. We used microarray analysis in post-mortem brain tissues to determine ART effectiveness in the brain and to identify molecular signatures of HAND under ART.

Illumina HiSeq 4000
Description
Transcription termination and mRNA export from the nucleus are closely regulated and coordinated processes. Nuclear export factors are recruited to actively transcribed genes through their interactions with protein complexes associated with transcription and co-transcriptional pre-mRNA processing. We determine a new role for the kinase WNK1 in the cross-talk of transcription termination and mRNA export. WNK1 was previously attributed a cytoplasmic role as a regulator of ion transport. However, we now show a nuclear function for this kinase where it is required for efficient mRNA export along with the transcription termination factor PCF11. Finally, we identify the phosphorylation of the CID domain of PCF11 as an important step for the release of the mRNA from the transcription locus, thus allowing efficient mRNA export to the cytoplasm. Overall design: RNA from cytoplasmic and nuclear extracts of HeLa cells was obtained, upon depletion of WNK1 kinase or from control cells. Upon pA selection, libraries were generated and sequenced. A duplicate experiment was performed for each sample.

- Affymetrix Mouse Expression 430A Array (moe430a)
Description
We undertook a survey of gene expression changes in primary microglial cultures with and without neurovirulent (FrCasE) and non-neurovirulent (Fr57E) virus infection to identify physiological changes that could be relevant to the induction of spongiform neurodegeneration. These gene expression analyses were performed using Affymetrix 430A mouse GeneChips (5 chips for each of the three experimental conditions, representing over 14,000 murine genes and ESTs. RNA from 5 separate microglial culture preparations were analyzed for Control (mock infected), Fr57E-, and FrCasE-infected microglia. Present/absent calls were based on MicroArray Suite 5.0 from Affymetrix. Affymetrix CEL files were analyzed using dChip software after normalization of the data between all 15 arrays. Statistical analyses were performed using ANOVA.
