To identify a cohort of rhythmically expressed genes in the murine Distal Colon,microarrays were used to measure gene expression over a 24-hour light/dark cycle.The rhythmic transcripts were classified according to expression patterns, functions and association with physiological and pathophysiological processes of the colon including motility, colorectal cancer formation and inflammatory bowel disease.

View SamplesMenisci play a vital role in load transmission, shock absorption and joint stability. The current dogma is that the menisci simply protects the cartilage and play no role in osteoarthritis (OA) unless they are injured. However, there is increasing evidence suggesting that OA menisci may not merely be bystanders in the disease process of OA. This study sought: 1) to determine the prevalence of meniscal degeneration in OA patients, 2) to examine gene expression in OA meniscal cells compared to normal control meniscal cells, and 3) to test the hypothesis that OA meniscal cells are different from normal meniscal cells.

View SamplesIn response to the cytokines, macrophage colony-stimulating factor and receptor activator of NF-kB ligand, monocyte precursors differentiate into bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) that ultimately fuse to form multi-nucleated osteoclasts, following a tightly controlled genetic program where specific sets of genes are differentially expressed.
Osteoclast-mediated bone resorption is controlled by a compensatory network of secreted and membrane-tethered metalloproteinases.

View SamplesStatins, the 3-hydroxy-3-methyl-glutaryl (HMG)-CoA reductase inhibitors, are widely prescribed for treatment of hypercholesterolemia. Although statins are generally well tolerated, up to ten percent of patients taking statins experience muscle related adverse events. Myalgia, defined as muscle pain without elevated creatinine phosphokinase (CPK) levels, is the most frequent reason for discontinuation of statin therapy. The mechanisms underlying statin-associated myalgia are not clearly understood. To elucidate changes in gene expression associated with statin-induced myalgia, we compared profiles of gene expression in the biopsied skeletal muscle from statin-intolerant patients undergoing statin re-challenge versus those of statin-tolerant controls. A robust separation of statin-intolerant and statin-tolerant cohorts was revealed by Principal Component Analysis of differentially expressed genes (DEGs). To identify putative gene expression and metabolic pathways that may be perturbed in skeletal muscles of statin intolerant patients, we subjected DEGs to Ingenuity Pathways (IPA) and DAVID (Database for Annotation, Visualization and Integrated Discovery) analyses. The most prominent pathways altered by statins included cellular stress, apoptosis, senescence and DNA repair (TP53, BARD1, Mre11 and RAD51); activation of pro-inflammatory immune response (CXCL12, CST5, POU2F1); protein catabolism, cholesterol biosynthesis, protein prenylation and RAS-GTPase activation (FDFT1, LSS, TP53, UBD, ATF2, H-ras). Based on these data we tentatively conclude that persistent myalgia in response to statins may emanate from cellular stress underpinned by mechanisms of post-inflammatory repair and regeneration. We also posit that this subset of individuals are genetically predisposed to eliciting altered statin metabolism and/or increased end-organ susceptibility that lead to a range of statin-induced myopathies. This mechanistic scenario further bolstered by the discovery that a number of single nucleotide polymorphisms (e.g., SLCO1B1, SLCO2B1 and RYR2) associated with statin myopathy were observed with increased frequency among statin-intolerant study subjects.
Patients experiencing statin-induced myalgia exhibit a unique program of skeletal muscle gene expression following statin re-challenge.

View SamplesTumors of advanced gastric cancer patients were biopsied and subjected to gene expression profiling using the Affymetrix Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 Arrays. Patients were then segregated into G1, G2 or G3 groups based on their tumor genomic profiles. Patients in the G1 and G3 cohorts were assigned SOX (oxaliplatin plus S-1) chemotherapy whereas those in the G2 cohort were given SP (cisplatin plus S-1) regimen.
