Affymetrix Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 Array (hgu133plus2)
Description
Sox2 is expressed by neural stem and progenitor cells, and a sox2 enhancer identifies these cells in the forebrains of both fetal and adult transgenic mouse reporters. We found that an adenovirus encoding EGFP placed under the regulatory control of a 0.4 kb sox2 core enhancer selectively identified multipotential and self-renewing neural progenitor cells in dissociates of human fetal forebrain. Gene expression analysis of E/sox2:EGFP-sorted neural progenitor cells, normalized to the unsorted forebrain dissociates from which they derived, revealed marked overexpression of genes within the notch and wnt pathways, and identified multiple elements of each pathway that appear selective to human neural progenitors.

Description
Glial progenitor cells (GPCs) of the adult human white matter, which express gangliosides recognized by monoclonal antibody A2B5, are a potential source of glial tumors of the brain. We used A2B5-based sorting to extract progenitor-like cells from a range of human glial tumors, that included low-grade glioma, oligodendroglioma, oligo-astrocytomas, anaplastic astrocytoma, and glioblastoma multiforme. The A2B5+ tumor cells proved tumorigenic upon orthotopic xenograft, and the tumors generated reflected the phenotypes of those from which they derived.

Transcriptional differences between normal and glioma-derived glial progenitor cells identify a core set of dysregulated genes.

Description
Vascular adhesion protein-1 (VAP-1) is an endothelial cell-surface protein. It is also an enzyme posessing semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidase activity (EC.1.4.3.6). VAP-1 is involved in leukocyte traffic. To study the role of VAP-1 in tumor immunity, we compared gene expression profiles in melanomas growing in VAP-1 -/- mice and their wid-type littermates.
Publication Title
Vascular adhesion protein-1 enhances tumor growth by supporting recruitment of Gr-1+CD11b+ myeloid cells into tumors.

Description
In the mammalian central nervous system (CNS) an important contingent of dopaminergic neurons are localized in the substantia nigra and in the ventral tegmental area of the ventral midbrain. They constitute an anatomically and functionally heterogeneous group of cells involved in a variety of regulatory mechanisms, from locomotion to emotional/motivational behavior. Midbrain dopaminergic neuron (mDA) primary cultures represent a useful tool to study molecular mechanisms involved in their development and maintenance. Considerable information has been gathered on the mDA neurons development and maturation in vivo, as well as on the molecular features of mDA primary cultures. Here we investigated in detail the gene expression differences between the tissue of origin and ventral midbrain primary cultures enriched in mDA neurons, using microarray technique. We integrated the results based on different re-annotations of the microarray probes. By using knowledge-based gene network techniques and promoter sequence analysis, we also uncovered mechanisms that might regulate the expression of CNS genes involved in the definition of the identity of specific cell types in the ventral midbrain. We integrate bioinformatics and functional genomics, together with developmental neurobiology. Moreover, we propose guidelines for the computational analysis of microarray gene expression data. Our findings help to clarify some molecular aspects of the development and differentiation of DA neurons within the midbrain.

Description
Microarray was used to study global gene expression of a cell culture model based on SV40-immortalized human corneal epithelial (iHCE) cells. The gene expression profile of the cell line was compared to the normal human corneal epithelium. Affymetrix HG-U133A GeneChips were used for microarray experiments and results were validated by performing RT-qPCR for selected genes. iHCE was found to over- and under-express 22 % and 14 % of the annotated genes, respectively. The results of this study suggest that differences between iHCE cells and normal corneal epithelium are substantial and therefore the use of these cells in corneal research should be considered with caution.

Description
The distinction between lymphatic and blood vessels is biologically fundamental. Two immortalized cell lines, which have been widely used as models for endothelial cells of blood vascular origin, are the human microvascular endothelial cell line-1 (HMEC-1) and the telomerase-immortalized microvascular endothelial cell line (TIME). However, analysis of protein expression by flow cytometry revealed expression of lymphatic markers on these cell lines. Furthermore, functional in vitro leukocyte transmigration assays demonstrated deficiencies in several steps of the leukocyte extravasation cascade. Hence we performed this microarray analysis of the gene expression in HMEC-1 and TIME. We then compare the expression profiles to those of published blood- and lymphatic endothelial cells.
