Affymetrix Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 Array (hgu133plus2)
Description
Dosage compensation restores a balanced network of gene expression between autosomes and sex chromosomes in males (XY) and females (XX). In mammals, this is achieved by doubling the expression of X-linked genes in both sexes, together with X inactivation in females. X up-regulation may be controlled by DNA sequence based and/or epigenetic mechanisms that double the X output potentially in response to an autosomal counting factor. Human triploids with either one or two active X chromosomes (Xa) provide a mean to test X chromosome expression in the presence of three sets of autosomes, which will help understand the underlying mechanisms of X up-regulation.

- Affymetrix Mouse Gene 1.0 ST Array (mogene10st)
Description
The cytokines GM-CSF and IL-5 are thought to possess largely divergent functions despite a shared dependence on the common beta (βC) chain to initiate signaling. Although IL-5 is part of the core type 2 cytokine signature and is required for protection against some helminths, it is dispensable for immunity to others, such as Heligmosomoides polygyrus bakeri (H. polygyrus). Whether this is due to compensatory mechanisms is unclear. The transcription factor Bhlhe40 has been shown to control GM-CSF production and is proposed to be a novel regulator of T helper type 2 cells.

Description
We have developed mouse models for serous epithelial ovarian cancer (SEOC) based on conditional inactivation of p53 and Rb tumor suppression (RB-TS) in combination with or without Brca1/2 following injection of adenovirus expressing Cre recombinase into the ovarian bursa. These models develop metastatic (Stage IV) disease with key histopathological features resembling human SEOC.To determine whether these mouse tumors resemble human SEOC at the molecular level, we conducted global gene expression analysis on 27 ovarian carcinomas and 3 pooled normal ovarian surface epithelium samples (single epithelial layer isolated from ovarian surface by laser capture).

Description
We previously generated genetically engineered mouse (GEM) models based on perturbation of Tp53, Rb with or without Brca1 or Brca2 that develop serous epithelial ovarian cancer (SEOC) closely resembling the human disease on histologic and molecular levels. We have adapted these GEM models to orthotopic allografts that uniformly develop tumors with short latency in immunocompetent recipients and are ideally suited for routine preclinical studies. To monitor passaged tumors at the molecular level, we analyzed transcriptional profiles of a set of primary SEOC and matching derived passaged tumors. We have merged this dataset with previously published ( doi: 10.1158/0008-5472.CAN-11-3834; PMID 22617326) dataset of murine primary ovarian tumors from our GEM models (GSE46169) and merged and compared them to expression profiles of human dataset published previously (doi: 10.1038/nature10166).

Description
The rates of obesity and sedentary lifestyle are on a dramatic incline, with associated detrimental health effects among women in particular. Although exercise prescriptions are useful for overcoming these problems, success can be hampered by differential responsiveness among individuals in cardiovascular fitness indices (i.e., improvements in strength, lipids, VO2max). Genetic factors appear to play an important role in determining this inter-individual variation in responsiveness. We performed microarray analyses on mRNA in whole blood from 60 sedentary women from a multi-ethnic cohort who underwent 12 weeks of exercise, to identify gene subsets that were differentially expressed between individuals who experienced the greatest and least improvements in fitness based upon a composite fitness score index. We identified 43 transcripts in 39 unique genes (FDR<10%; FC>1.5) whose expression increased the most in high versus low premenopausal female responders. Several (TIGD7, UQCRH, PSMA6, WDR12, TFB2M, USP15) have reported associations with fitness-related phenotypes. Bioinformatic analysis of the 39 genes identified 4 miRNAs whose expression has been linked to cardiovascular diseases (ANKRD22: miR-637, LRRFIP1: miR-132, PRKAR2B: miR-92a, RSAD2:miR-192). These 39 genes were enriched in 6 biological pathways, including the oxidative phosphorylation pathway (p=8.08 x 10-3). Two genes, LRRFIP1 and SNORD30, were also identified with lower expression in high responding postmenopausal women. In summary, we identified gene signatures based on mRNA analysis that define responsiveness to exercise in a largely minority-based female cohort. Importantly, this study validates several genes/pathways previously associated with exercise responsiveness and extends these findings with additional novel genes.

Description
To determine the regulatory pathways necessary for astrocytoma formation within complex adult brain microenvironments, we engineered mice for adult astrocyte-specific disruption of key regulators (pRb, Kras and Pten). Drivers of all astrocytoma grades were identified using CreERTM-inducible alleles. Inactivation of pRb was necessary to initiate grade II disease, and was the only lesion to do so. Additional activation of Kras progressed disease to grade III, while further Pten inactivation facilitated grade IV (glioblastoma) progression. These outcomes were elicited whether somatic events were induced broadly or focally. In vivo inactivation of pRb, which induced astrocyte proliferation and apoptosis, activated the MAPK pathway, while Kras activation and Pten loss triggered PI3K pathways.
