We used Arabidopsis full-genome microarrays to characterize plant transcript accumulations at different stages of infection with the biotrophic oomycete downy mildew pathogen, Hyaloperonospora arabidopsidis : initiation (< 1 dpi) and maintenance of infection (> 4 dpi).

View SamplesGene transcription in a set of 49 human primary lung adenocarcinomas and 9 normal lung tissue samples was examined using Affymetrix GeneChip technology. We aimed to investigate differential gene expression between the two tissue types. A total of 3,442 genes, called the set MAD, were found to be either up- or down-regulated by at least two fold between the two phenotypes. Genes assigned to a particular gene ontology term were found, in many cases, to be significantly unevenly distributed between the genes in and outside MAD. Terms that were overrepresented in MAD included functions directly implicated in cancer cell metabolism. Based on their functional roles and expression profiles, genes in MAD were grouped into likely co-regulated gene sets.

View SamplesB16F1 cells are a good model to study cell motility and cytoskeletal organization. In our lab, a combination of microscopy and gene silencing was used to approach the problem. Having gene expression profiles for B16F1 would facilitate and support subsequent gene silencing by RNAi as well as potentially identify new molecular players.

View SamplesGene fusions arising from chromosomal translocations are key oncogenic drivers in soft tissue sarcomas but little is known about how they exert their oncogenic effects. Our study explores the molecular mechanisms by which the SS18-SSX fusion oncoprotein subverts epigenetic mechanisms of gene regulation to drive synovial sarcoma. Using functional genomics, we identify KDM2B – a histone demethylase and core component of a non-canonical Polycomb Repressive Complex 1 (PRC1.1) – as selectively required for sustaining synovial sarcoma cell transformation. SS18-SSX physically interacts with PRC1.1 and co-associates with SWI/SNF and KDM2B complexes on unmethylated CpG islands genome-wide. Via KDM2B, SS18-SSX binds and aberrantly activates expression of a series of developmentally regulated transcription factors that would otherwise be targets of polycomb-mediated repression, which is restored upon KDM2B depletion leading to irreversible mesenchymal differentiation. Thus, SS18-SSX de-regulates developmental programs to drive transformation by hijacking a transcriptional repressive complex to aberrantly activate gene expression. Overall design: RNA-Seq of human synovial sarcoma cells (HS-SY-II) in control cells (Ren.173) and upon knockdown of SS18-SSX1 (SS18.273 and SSX.1274) or of KDM2B (KDM2B. 4395 and KDM2B.4835) in duplicates.

View SamplesClinical heterogeneity of esrtrogen receptor-negative, progesterone receptor-negative [ER(-)/PR(-)] breast cancer (BC) suggests biological heterogeneity. We performed gene expression analysis of primary BCs and BC cell lines to identify the underlying biology of ER(-)/PR(-) disease, define subsets, and identify potential therapeutic targets.

View SamplesThe mucosa that lines the respiratory and gastrointestinal (GI) tracts is an important portal of entry for pathogens and provides the frontline of immune defense against HIV infection. Using the simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) rhesus macaque model, we have performed a comparative analysis of host gene expression in the lung and GI mucosa in response to SIV infection and antiretroviral therapy.
Enhanced innate antiviral gene expression, IFN-α, and cytolytic responses are predictive of mucosal immune recovery during simian immunodeficiency virus infection.

View SamplesA majority of individuals infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) have inadequate access to antiretroviral therapy and ultimately develop debilitating oral infections that often correlate with disease progression. Our study evaluates the potential of simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) infected rhesus macaques to serve as a non-human primate model for oral manifestations of HIV disease.
