Affymetrix Human Transcriptome Array 2.0 (hta20)
Description
The p90 ribosomal S6 kinase (RSK) family, a downstream target of Ras/extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) signaling, can mediate cross-talk with the mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) pathway. As RSK connects two oncogenic pathways in gliomas, we investigated the protein levels of the RSK isoforms RSK1-4 in non-tumoral brain (NB) and grade I-IV gliomas. RSK4 expression was not detected in any brain tissues, whereas RSK3 expression was very low, with GBMs demonstrating the lowest RSK3 protein levels. When compared to NB or low-grade gliomas (LGG), a group of glioblastomas (RSK1hi) that excluded long-survivor cases expressed higher levels of RSK1. No difference was observed in RSK2 median-expression levels among NB and gliomas; however, high levels of RSK2 in glioblastomas (GBM) were associated with worse survival. RSK1hi and, to a lesser extent, RSK2hi GBMs, showed higher levels of phosphorylated RSK, which indicates RSK activation. Transcriptome analysis indicated that most RSK1hi GBMs belonged to the mesenchymal subtype, and RSK1 expression strongly correlated with gene expression signature of immune infiltrates, in particular of activated-natural killer cells and M2 macrophages. In an independent cohort, we confirmed that RSK1hi GBMs exclude long-survivors, and RSK1 expression was associated with high protein levels of the mesenchymal subtype marker LAPTM5, as well as with high expression of CD68, which indicated the presence of infiltrating immune cells. An RSK1 signature was obtained based on differentially expressed mRNAs and validated in public glioma datasets. Enrichment of RSK1 signature followed glioma progression, recapitulating RSK1 protein expression, and was associated with worse survival not only in GBM but also in LGG. In conclusion, both RSK1 and RSK2 associate with glioma malignity, but displaying isoform-specific peculiarities. The progression-dependent expression and association with immune infiltration, suggests RSK1 as a potential progression marker and therapeutic target for gliomas.

Description
Transcriptomic studies revealed that hundreds of mRNAs show differential expression in the brains of sleeping versus awake rats, mice, flies, and sparrows. Although these results have offered clues regarding the molecular consequences of sleep and sleep loss, their functional significance thus far has been limited. This is because the previous studies pooled transcripts from all brain cells, including neurons and glia.

Description
Treatment of leukemia cells with 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 may overcome their differentiation block and lead to the transition from myeloblasts to monocytes. To identify microRNA-mRNA networks relevant for myeloid differentiation, we profiled the expression of mRNAs and microRNAs associated to the low- and high-density ribosomal fractions in leukemic cells and in their differentiated monocytic counterpart. Intersection between mRNAs shifted across the fractions after treatment with putative target genes of modulated microRNAs showed a series of molecular networks relevant for the monocyte cell fate determination

Description
The efficacy and exceptionally good tolerance of estrogen blockade in the treatment of breast cancer is well recognized but novel agents are required, especially to take advantage of the multiple consecutive responses obtained in breast cancer progressing following previous hormone therapy, thus delaying the use of cytotoxic chemotherapy with its usually serious side effects. Acolbifene (ACOL) is a novel and unique antiestrogen completely free of estrogen-like activity in both the mammary gland and uterus while preventing bone loss. From the preclinical and clinical data so-far available, this new antiestrogen represents a unique opportunity for a highly potent and specific blockade of estrogen action in the mammary gland and uterus while exerting estrogen-like beneficial effects in other tissues (selective estrogen receptor modulator or SERM activity). In order to better understand the specificity of action of acolbifene, we have used Affymetrix GeneChips containing 45,000 probe sets to analyze 34,000 genes to determine the specificity of this compound compared to the pure antiestrogen fulvestrant, as well as the mixed antagonists/agonists tamoxifen and raloxifene to block the effect of estradiol (E2) and to induce effects of their own on gene expression in the mouse mammary gland. The genes modulated by E2 were those identified in two separate experiments and validated by quantitative real-time PCR (Q_RT-PCR). Three hours after the single subcutaneous injection of E2 (0.05 ug), the simultaneous administration of acolbifene, fulvestrant, tamoxifen and raloxifene blocked by 98%, 62%, 43% and 92% the number of E2-upregulated genes, respectively. On the other hand, 70%, 10%, 25% and 55% of the genes down-regulated by E2 were blocked by the same compounds. Acolbifene was also the compound which, when used alone, modulated the smallest number of genes also influenced by E2, namely 4%, thus possibly explaining the potent tumoricidal action of this compound in human breast cancer xenografts where 61% of tumors disappeared, thus bringing a new paradigm in the hormonal therapy of breast cancer.

To compare the impact of hematopoietic-specific Brpf1 gene inactivation, LSK (Lin-Sca1+cKit1+) cells were sorted from wild-type and Brpf1-null fetal liver cells for RNA-Seq. Overall design: Four E14.5 embryos were used to pool sufficient LSK cells for total RNA isolation and subsequent sequencing on HiSq2500. Two independent pairs of wild-type and mutant RNA samples (each of which contained LSK cells pooled from four embryos) were used for oligo-dT primed RNA Seq.

Description
C57BL/6J mice were 105-fold more resistant to Chlamydia psittaci infection than DBA/2J mice by LD100 determinations. Linkage analysis using BXD recombinant inbred strains revealed a single effector locus at a 1.5 Mbp region on chromosome 11 encoding a cluster of three p47GTPases (Irgb10, Igtp, and Iigp2). Western blots of infected tissue showed that Irgb10 was elevated in resistant mice and one of the two possible Iigp2 protein isoforms was preferentially expressed in susceptible mice. The BXD39 strain, susceptible at Irgb10 and resistant at Iigp2, had an intermediate phenotype, implicating the non-redundant role of these p47GTPases. C57BL/6J and DBA/2J exhibited a difference in IFNg dependent chlamydial control, which was reversible by Iigp2 siRNA knockdown. Microarrays of infected peritoneal lavage revealed >10 fold up regulation of neutrophil recruiting chemokines in susceptible mice and >100 fold increase in macrophage differentiation genes in resistant mice, indicating that susceptibility pattern involves stimulation of different inflammatory cell recruiting pathways. Massive neutrophil recruitment was seen in susceptible mice by histology and flow cytometry, and neutrophil chemokine receptor (CXCR2) knockout mice on a susceptible background survived lethal challenge confirming that neutrophil recruitment was required for susceptibility. Congenic Igtp knockout mice also susceptible at Irgb10 and Iigp2 on a resistant background recruited neutrophils and succumbed to infection. We conclude that Irgb10 and Iigp2 act together to confer differential susceptibility against murine chlamydial infection. Results indicate that these p47GTPases have cell autonomous effects, which results in vastly different inflammatory stimulation leading to either recovery or death.
