Affymetrix Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 Array (hgu133plus2)
Description
Refractory/relapsed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) has a poor prognosis. Novel drugs targeting the constitutively activated NF- B pathway characteristic of ABC-DLBCL are promising, but evaluation depends on accurate activated B cell-like (ABC)/germinal center B cell-like (GCB) molecular classification. This is traditionally performed on gene microarray expression profiles of fresh biopsies, which are not routinely collected, or by immunohistochemistry on formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue, which lacks reproducibility and classification accuracy. We explored the possibility of using routine archival FFPE tissue for gene microarray applications.

- Affymetrix Human Exon 1.0 ST Array [probe set (exon) version (huex10st)
Description
The identifcation of alternatively spliced transcript variants specific to particular biological processes in tumours should increase our understanding of cancer. Hypoxia is an important factor in cancer biology and associated splice variants may present new markers to help with planning treatment. A method was developed to analyse alternative splicing in exon array data, using probeset multiplicity to identify genes with changes in expression across their loci, and a combination of the splicing index and a new metric based on the variation of reliability weighted fold changes to detect changes in the splicing patterns. The approach was validated on a cancer/normal sample dataset in which alternative splicing events had been confirmed using RT-PCR. We then analysed ten head and neck squamous cell carcinomas using exon arrays and identified differentially expressed splice variants in five samples with high versus five with low levels of hypoxia-associated genes (Winter et al, 2007; Cancer Res 67:3441-9). The analysis identified a splice variant of LAMA3 (Laminin 3), LAMA3-A, known to be involved in tumour cell invasion and progression. The full-length transcript of the gene (LAMA3-B) did not appear to be hypoxia-associated. The results were confirmed using qualitative real time PCR. In a series of 59 prospectively-collected head and neck tumours (Winter et al, 2007; Cancer Res 67:3441-9), expression of LAMA3-A had prognostic significance whereas LAMA3-B did not. This work illustrates the potential for alternatively spliced transcripts to act as biomarkers of disease prognosis with improved specificity for particular tissues or conditions over assays which do not discriminate between splice variants.

Description
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short noncoding RNA molecules regulating the expression of mRNAs. Target identification of miRNAs is computationally difficult due to the relatively low homology between miRNAs and their targets. We provide data here utilizing an experimental approach to identify targets of mmu-miR-378-3p, where mmu-miR-378-3p was overexpressed and silenced in NIH-3T3 murine fibroblasts and compared to control RNA transfected cells (RISC-free siRNA). Expression of mRNAs was profiled and differentially expressed genes following either treatment as compared to control transfected cells were identified. In this way we identified 491 significantly differentially expressed genes with more than 1.4 fold change in either comparison. One of the putative targets Akt-1 was subsequently confirmed by luciferase reporter assay.

Description
SupB15 cells are highly sensitive to Mitoxantrone treatment. To obtain drug resistant subpopulations, SupB15 cells were incubated in normal medium or BMSC derived conditioned medium, treated with 10nM of Mitoxantrone for 6 days. SupB15 cells in normal medium could not survive. a small population of SupB15 cells in conditioned medium group survived the treatment and ecpanded, termed as SupB15-MR.

Description
Oxidative stress is a harmful condition in a cell, tissue, or organ, caused by an imbalnace between reactive oxygen species and other oxidants and the capacity of antioxidant defense systems to remove them. The budding yeast S. cerevisiae has been the major eukaryotic model for studies of response to oxidative stress.

Description
The response to growth hormone in humans is dependent on phenotypic, genetic and environmental factors. The present study in children with growth hormone deficiency (GHD) collected worldwide characterised gene-environment interactions on growth response to recombinant human growth hormone (r-hGH). Growth responses in children are linked to latitude, and we found that a correlation of latitude, summer daylight exposure (SDE) was a key environmental factor related to growth response to r-hGH. In turn growth response was determined by an interaction between both SDE and genes known to affect growth response to r-hGH. In addition analysis of associated networks of gene expression implicated a role for circadian clock pathways and specifically the developmental transcription factor NANOG. This work provides the first observation of gene-environment interactions in children treated with r-hGH.
