Affymetrix Rat Expression 230A Array (rae230a)
Description
Aging progress is distinctly characterized by systematic and progressive decline of physiological functions with increasing age in virtually all tissues or organs. Addressing the patterns of molecular changes in different tissues and how different tissues interact with each other during aging are an important question in aging.
Publication Title
The spatial association of gene expression evolves from synchrony to asynchrony and stochasticity with age.

Description
Purpose: In this study, we try to investigate the possible signaling pathways involved in the tumorigenesis of fibroblastic and anaplastic meningiomas. We also attempt to investigate EGFL6 gene expression in brain arachnoidal tissues and various tumors and to measure EGFL6 levels in serum samples from healthy people and patients with various tumors by using ELISA. Experimental Design: Differential gene expression profiles between meningiomas and brain arachnoidal tissues were established by using Affymetrix GeneChip Human U133 Plus 2.0 Array. KEGG pathway analysis was performed to identify potential gene pathways that may be involved in the pathogenesis of meningiomas. Quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) was performed to validate the differentially expressed genes in the KEGG pathways. EGFL6 mRNA levels were also determined in brain arachnoidal tissues, meningiomas, and other tumors by qRT-PCR. EGFL6 levels were measured in serum samples from healthy people and patients with various tumors by using ELISA. Results: Fibroblastic meningioma exhibited upregulated PI3K/Akt and TGF signaling pathways, and accelerated G1/S progression cell cycle. KEGG analysis also demonstrated that focal adhesion and ECM-receptor interaction pathways were activated in anaplastic meningioma. Benign meningiomas had significantly higher levels of EGFL6 mRNA than brain arachnoidal tissues and atypical and anaplastic meningiomas (P<0.001). EGFL6 gene was also highly expressed in ovarian cancer, but expressed lowly in all other investigated tumors. EGFL6 was hardly detectable in serum samples of healthy people. The mean serum EGFL6 concentration was 675, 118, and 126 pg/ml in patients with benign, atypical, and anaplastic meningiomas respectively. Patients with ovarian cancers also had high serum EGFL6 levels (mean concentration: 617 pg/ml). Patients with all other investigated tumors, however, had low levels of serum EGFL6 with mean concentration less than 240 pg/ml. Conclusion: We proposed that deregulation of cell cycle and PI3K/Akt pathways might play important roles in the tumorigenesis of fibroblastic meningioma. It was also suggested that the activated integrin-mediated signaling pathways were involved in the pathogenesis of anaplastic meningioma. We presented evidence that EGFL6 might serve as a novel serum biomarker for benign meningioma and ovarian cancer. It was also suggested that EGFL6 could help discriminate benignancy or malignancy of meningiomas before surgery or at early time points.

Description
DNA methylation of C5-cytosine (5mC) in the mammalian genome is a key epigenetic event that is critical for various cellular processes. However, how the genome-wide 5mC pattern is dynamically regulated remains a fundamental question in epigenetic biology. The TET family of 5mC hydroxylases, which convert 5mC to 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC), have provided a new potential mechanism for the dynamic regulation of DNA methylation. The extent to which individual Tet family members contribute to the genome-wide 5mC and 5hmC patterns and associated gene network remains largely unknown. Here we report genome-wide mapping of Tet1 and 5hmC in mESCs and reveal a mechanism of action by which Tet1 controls 5hmC and 5mC levels in mESCs. In combination with microarray and mRNA-seq expression profiling, we identify a comprehensive yet intricate gene network influenced by Tet1. We propose a model whereby Tet1 controls DNA methylation both by binding to CpG-rich regions to prevent unwanted DNA methyltransferase activity, and by converting the existing 5mC to 5hmC through its enzymatic activity. This Tet1-mediated antagonism of CpG methylation imparts differential maintenance of DNA methylation status at Tet1 target loci, thereby providing a new regulatory mechanism for establishing the epigenetic landscape of mESCs, which ultimately contributes to mESC differentiation and the onset of embryonic development.

Description
Histone methylation occurs on both lysine and arginine residues and its dynamic regulation plays a critical role in chromatin biology. Here we identify the UHRF1 PHD domain (PHDUHRF1), an important regulator of DNA CpG methylation, as an unanticipated histone H3 unmodified arginine 2 (H3R2)-recognition modality. This conclusion is based on binding studies and co-crystal structures of the PHDUHRF1 bound to histone H3 peptides, where the guanidinium group of unmodified R2 forms an extensive intermolecular hydrogen bond network, with methylation of H3R2, but not H3K4 or H3K9, disrupting complex formation. We have identified direct target genes of UHRF1 from microarray and ChIP studies. Importantly, we show that UHRF1s ability to repress its direct target gene expression is dependent on PHDUHRF1 binding to unmodified H3R2, thereby demonstrating the functional importance of this recognition event and supporting the potential for crosstalk between histone arginine methylation and UHRF1 function.

Description
The natural history of chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection could be divided in different phases by transaminase and HBV replication levels. However, it remains unknown how the intrahepatic transcriptomes in patients are correlated with the clinical phases. Here, we determined the intrahepatic transcriptomes of chronic hepatitis B patients and examined the role of specific groups of genes, including immune-related genes, in the control of hepatitis B virus infection.

Description
Rat lung-resident mesenchymal stem cells (LR-MSCs) were isolated via bronchoalveolar lavage from fibroblast growth factor-10 (FGF-10) pretreated lungs. We characterized the similarity and diversity between LR-MSCs and bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs) by transcriptional profiling of these two types of cells.
