Illumina HiSeq 2000
Description
There is some emerging evidence that members of the Schlafen (SLFN) family of proteins mediate antineoplastic responses, but the mechanisms accounting for these effects are not known. We provide evidence that human SLFN5, an interferon (IFN)- inducible member of the family, exhibits key roles in controlling motility and invasiveness of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) cells. Our studies define the mechanism by which this occurs, demonstrating that SLFN5 negatively controls expression of matrix metalloproteinases (MMP)-1 and -13 and several other genes involved in the control of malignant cell motility. Importantly, our data establish that SLFN5 expression correlates with a better overall survival in a large cohort of patients with RCC. The inverse relationship between SLFN5 expression and RCC aggressiveness raises the possibility of developing unique therapeutic approaches in the treatment of RCC, by modulating SLFN5 expression. Overall design: Examination of 2 SLFN5 knockdown cells and 2 controls, in triplicate.

- Illumina HumanHT-12 V3.0 expression beadchip
Description
A comprehensive in vitro assessment of two commercial metal oxide nanoparticles, TiO2 and ZnO, was performed using human monocyte-derived macrophages (HMDM), monocyte-derived dendritic cells (MDDC), and T cell leukemia-derived cell line (Jurkat). TiO2 nanoparticles were found to be non-toxic whereas ZnO nanoparticles caused dose-dependent cell death. Subsequently, global gene expression profiling was performed to identify signaling pathways underlying the cytotoxicity caused by ZnO nanoparticles. Analysis was done with doses, 1g/ml and 10g/ml after 6 and 24 hours of exposure. Interestingly, 2703 genes were significantly differentially expressed in HMDM upon exposure to 10g/ml ZnO nanoparticles, while in MDDCs only 12 genes were affected. In Jurkat cells, 980 genes were differentially expressed. It is noteworthy that the gene expression of metallothioneins was upregulated in all the three cell types. In addition to the common ZnO-inducible changes, a notable proportion of the genes were regulated in a cell type-specific manner. Using a panel of ZnO nanoparticles, we obtained an additional support that the cellular response to ZnO nanoparticles is caused by particle dissolution. Gene ontology analysis revealed that the top biological processes disturbed in HMDM and Jurkat cells were regulating cell death and growth. In addition, genes controlling immune system development were affected. Bioinformatics assessment showed that the top human disease category associated with ZnO-responsive genes in both HMDM and Jurkat cells was cancer. Overall, the study revealed novel genes and pathways for mediating ZnO nanoparticle-induced toxicity and demonstrated the value of assessing nanoparticle responses through combined transcriptomics and bioinformatics approach.

Description
It is widely accepted that a womans lifetime risk of developing breast cancer at menopause is reduced by early full term pregnancy and multiparity. This phenomenon is associated with the development and differentiation of the breast, which ultimately imprints a specific genomic profile in the mammary epithelium. In the present work we demonstrate that this profile represents a permanent signature that could be associated with the breast cancer risk reduction conferred by pregnancy.

Description
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the fifth most-common cancer worldwide causing nearly 600,000 deaths esch year. Approximately 80% of HCC develops on the background of cirrhosis.It is necessary to identify novel genes involved in HCC to implement new diagnostic and treatment options. However, the molecular pathogenesis of HCC largely remains unsolved. Only a few genetic alterations, namely those affecting p53, -catenin and p16INK4a have been implicated at moderate frequencies of these cancers. Early detection of HCC with appropriate treatment can decrease tumor-related deaths

Description
Cellular senescence is a tumor suppressor mechanism, and immortalization facilitates neoplastic transformation. Both mechanisms may be highly relevant to hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) development and its molecular heterogeneity. Cellular senescence appears to play a major role in liver diseases. Chronic liver diseases are associated with progressive telomere shortening leading senescence that is observed highly in cirrhosis, but also in some HCC. We previously described the generation of immortal and senescence-programmed clones from HCC-derived Huh7 cell line.

Description
ob/ob mice is an obese mice. CIDE family proteins including Cidea, Cideb and Cidec play important role in lipid metabolism. Cidea is mainly expressed in the brown adipose tissue (BAT). Cidec is mainly expressed in the BAT and white adipose tissue (WAT). We generated ob/ob/Cidea-/-/Cidec-/- mice to investigate the phenotype of fat tissue. ob/ob/Cidea-/-/Cidec-/- mice are lean when compared with ob/ob mice. The tissue weight and TAG content of BAT and WAT was extreamly decreased in ob/ob/Cidea-/-/Cidec-/- mice compared with that in ob/ob mice.
