To check whether KO of UBE2J1 upregulates genes of GPI biosthesis pathway, we used microarrays to analyze gene expression change by KO of UBE2J1 and comfirmed that known GPI pathway genes are not changed by ERAD-deficiency.

View SamplesPathways that govern normal stem cell (SC) function are often subverted in cancer. Here, we report the isolation to near purity of human normal mammary SC (hNMSCs), from cultured mammospheres, based on their ability to retain the lipophilic dye PKH26 as a consequence of their quiescent nature. We demonstrated that PKH26-positive cells possess all the characteristics of hNMSCs. The transcriptional profile of PKH26-positive cells (hNMSC signature) was able to predict biological and molecular features of breast cancers. By using markers of the hNMSC signature, we could prospectively isolate SCs from the normal gland and from breast tumors. Poorly-differentiated aggressive (G3) cancers displayed higher content of prospectively isolated cancer SCs, than well-differentiated less aggressive (G1) cancers. By comparing G3 and G1 tumors in xenotransplantation experiments, we directly demonstrated that G3s are enriched in cancer SCs. Our data support the notion that the heterogeneous phenotypical and molecular traits of human breast cancers are a function of their SC content.
Biological and molecular heterogeneity of breast cancers correlates with their cancer stem cell content.

View SamplesRotavirus infection is the single most important cause of severe diarrhea in young children worldwide. We used Affymetrix Human U95Av2 high density oligonucleotide arrays to compare gene expression profiles in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) of 10 children with acute rotavirus diarrhea and 8 age-matched healthy children. We also examined patterns of gene expression in 5 convalescent-phase PBMC samples from rotavirus patients. For data analysis, we imported .cel files generated by Affymetrix MAS5.0 into Genetraffic 3.1 software (Iobion) and performed robust multi-chip analysis. We considered a gene in patients differentially expressed if its level of expression was at least 1.5-fold higher or lower than the baseline (arithmetic mean) of the corresponding gene in 8 controls and if its pattern of elevated or repressed expression was observed in at least 7 of the 10 patients. Using these criteria, we identified ~1% up- and ~2% down-regulated genes in acute-phase PBMC of patients. Up-regulated genes included those involved in the differentiation, maturation, activation, and survival of B cells, as well as an array of genes with function in inflammatory and antiviral activities. We observed a pattern of repressed expression of a number of genes involved in the various stages of T-cell development and activation. On the basis of these results, we conclude that rotavirus infection induces robust inflammatory response and B-cell activation but represses T-cell response.

View SamplesFlowering time is a complex trait regulated by many genes that are integrated in different genetic pathways. Different genetic screenings carried out during the past decades have revealed an intrincated genetic regulatory network governing this trait. Efforts aimed at improving our understanding of how such genetic pathways respond to genetic and enviromental cues are needed.
