Affymetrix Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 Array (hgu133plus2)
Description
Analysis of ejaculated spermatozoav from normozoospermic men and asthenozoospermic men. Some of genes were up-regulated or down-regulated in asthenozoospermia, and their abnormal expression were the causes of the impaired sperm motility. Results provide insight into the mechanisms by which asthenozoospermia is controlled.

Description
To understand how actions of the chromatin-remodeler BRAHMA (BRM) and Polycomb Group (PcG) proteins are coordinated during plant development, we performed a genome-wide profiling of trimethylated histone H3 lysine 27 (H3K27me3) in brm mutant seedlings by chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by next generation sequencing (ChIP-seq). Increased H3K27me3 deposition at several hundred genes was observed in brm mutants and this increase was partially supressed upon removal of the CURLING LEAF (CLF) H3K27me3 methyltransferase. ChIP experiments demonstrated that BRM directly binds to a subset of genes and prevents the inappropriate association of PcG proteins at some of the loci. Together, these results indicate a crucial role of BRM in restricting the inappropriate activity of PcG protein complexes during plant development.

Description
DNA topoisomerases release supercoils in DNA introduced during replication or transcription. How DNA topoisomerases impact transcription in the context of eukaryotic chromatin is poorly understood. In this study, using a floral stem cell model in Arabidopsis, we uncovered a role of TOP1 in Polycomb Group (PcG) protein-mediated histone lysine 27 trimethylation at, and transcriptional repression of, the stem cell maintenance gene WUSCHEL (WUS). The strong genetic interactions between a top1 mutant and mutations in PcG genes and the overwhelming enrichment of PcG targets among genes affected in expression in the top1a mutant revealed a role of TOP1 in PcG-mediated regulation. Intriguingly, not only the repression of some PcG target genes but also the expression of others requires TOP1. The mechanism that unifies the opposing effects of TOP1 on PcG target genes appears to lie in its role in decreasing nucleosome density. Genome-wide nucleosome mapping shows that TOP1 is required for the depletion of nucleosomes at regulatory regions of genes, which probably allows the binding of factors that either recruit PcG, as we show for AGAMOUS at the WUS locus, or counteract PcG-mediated regulation. This study uncovers a strong and previously unknown connection between TOP1 and PcG.

Description
C1q expression increases significantly in the peripheral blood of patients with active tuberculosis compared to healthy controls and individuals with latent TB infection. The percentage of C1q-expressing CD14 positive cells is significantly increased in active TB patients. C1q expression in the peripheral blood correlates with sputum smear positivity in tuberculosis patients and is reduced after anti-tuberculosis chemotherapy. Notably, receiver operating characteristic analysis showed that C1qC mRNA levels in peripheral blood efficiently discriminate active from latent tuberculosis infection and healthy controls. Additionally, C1qC protein level in pleural effusion shows improved power in discriminating tuberculosis from non-tuberculosis pleurisy when compared to other inflammatory markers, such as IL-6 and TNF-

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a systemic autoimmune disease and its underlying molecular mechanisms are still poorly understood. Previously a CD4 T-cell microarray study has only focused arthritis patients. We aimed to compare the molecular profiles of active RA versus healthy control in CD4 T cells.

Description
In proliferating cells, where most Polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2) studies have been performed, gene repression is associated with PRC2 trimethylation of H3K27 (H3K27me3). However, it is uncertain whether PCR2 writing of H3K27me3 is mechanistically required for gene silencing. Here we studied PRC2 function in postnatal mouse cardiomyocytes, where the paucity of cell division obviates bulk H3K27me3 rewriting after each cell cycle. EED (Embryonic Ectoderm Development) inactivation in the postnatal heart (Eed CKO ) caused lethal dilated cardiomyopathy. Surprisingly, gene upregulation in Eed CKO was not coupled with loss of H3K27me3. Rather, the activating histone mark H3K27ac increased. EED interacted with histone deacetylases (HDACs) and enhanced their catalytic activity. HDAC overexpression normalized Eed CKO heart function and expression of derepressed genes. Our results uncovered a non-canonical, H3K27me3-independent EED repressive mechanism that is essential for normal heart function. Our results further illustrate that organ dysfunction due to epigenetic dysregulation can be corrected by epigenetic rewiring.

EED orchestration of heart maturation through interaction with HDACs is H3K27me3-independent.

Description
The genetic closeness and divergent muscle growth rates of broilers and layers make them great models for myogenesis study. In order to discover the molecular mechanisms determining the divergent muscle growth rates and muscle fiber sizes in different chicken lines, we systematically identified differentially expressed genes between broilers and layers during muscle development (embyonic day 10, 12, 14 and 18) by microarray hybridization experiment.
