Description
With increasing age, the ability of the immune system to protect against recurring infections or to control chronic infections erodes. The objective of the current study was to identify gene expression signatures in elderly CD4 T cell responses

Description
To identify host factors that influence the immunogenicity of the attenuated VZV pOka vaccine strain and the efficacy of VZV vaccination, we immunized 39 individuals aged 50 to 75 years, including 9 monozygotic twin pairs. We measured VZV-specific T cell frequencies by IFN-specific ELISpot, and VZV-specific antibody titers by ELISA. Whole gene expression arrays were performed on vaccinees before (n=28) and one (n=18) or three days (n=10) after vaccination. Cell-specific gene expression profiles were generated by deconvolution using previously described algorithms. Only very few neutrophil- and lymphocyte-related genes changed in expression from day 0 to 1. Significant changes for monocyte-related genes were found, but even here the number of probes with a significant change was low after adjusting for false discovery. When expression changes in monocyte-derived genes were analyzed for their correlation with T cell responses, we identified 493 probes corresponding to 479 genes that correlated with generation of VZV-specific effector T cells and 641 probes corresponding to 621 genes that correlated with the subsequent contraction phase with p<0.05. Interestingly, these two sets of genes were significantly overlapping, i.e., the same changes that were positively or negatively correlated with expansion inversely predicted contraction; their effects therefore cancelled out in determining net benefit in memory cell generation.

Description
Intensive lifestyle modification is believed to mediate cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk through traditional pathways that affect endothelial function and progression of atherosclerosis; however, the extent, persistence, and clinical significance of molecular change during lifestyle modification are not well known. Our study reveals that gene expression signatures are significantly modulated by rigorous lifestyle behaviors and track with CVD risk profiles over time.
Publication Title
Intensive cardiovascular risk reduction induces sustainable changes in expression of genes and pathways important to vascular function.

- Affymetrix Human Exon 1.0 ST Array [probe set (exon) version (huex10st)
Description
Platelets have multiple roles in cancer cell metastasis. In this work we employed exon microarray technology to address platelet gene expression in metastatic non small cell lung cancer versus controls without cancer. We found that 197 of the 200 genes with the most significantly altered expression levels had their expression levels downregulated.

Description
The epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), considered essential for metastatic cancer, has been a focus of much research, but important questions remain. Here, we show that silencing or removing H2A.X, a histone H2A variant involved in cellular DNA repair and robust growth, induced mesenchymal-like characteristics including activation of EMT transcription factors, Slug and ZEB1, in HCT116 human colon cancer cells. Ectopic H2A.X re-expression partially reversed these changes; as did silencing Slug and ZEB1. In an experimental metastasis model, the HCT116 parental and H2A.X-null cells exhibited similar metastases levels, but the cells with re-expressed H2A.X exhibited substantially elevated levels. We surmise that H2A.X re-expression led to partial EMT reversal and increased robustness in the HCT116 cells, permitting them to both form tumors and to metastasize. In a human adenocarcinoma panel, H2A.X levels correlated inversely with Slug and ZEB1 levels. Together, these results point to H2A.X as a novel regulator of EMT.

The histone variant H2A.X is a regulator of the epithelial-mesenchymal transition.
