Description
Aging is a key factor in Alzheimer''s disease, but it''s correlation with the pathology and pathological factors like amyloid-beta remains unclear In our study we aimed to provide an extensive characterisation of age-related changes in the gene expression profile of APP23 mice and controls and correlate these changes to pathological and symptomatic features of the model We found a clear biphasic expression profile with a developmental and aging phase. The second phase, particularly, displays aging features and similarties with the progression of Alzheimer pathology in human patients Processes involved in microglial activation, lysosomal processing, neuronal differantion and cytoskeletal regulation appear key factors in this stage. Interestingly, the changes in the gene expression profile of APP23 mice also seem to occur in control animals, but at a later age. The changes appear accelerated and/or exacerbated in APP23 mice. Overall design: mRNA profiles of APP23 mice and wild-type control littermates aged 1.5, 6, 18 or 24 months. For all the age groups, samples of 3 mice of each genotype were analyzed

Vitiligo Blood Transcriptomics Provides New Insights into Disease Mechanisms and Identifies Potential Novel Therapeutic Targets Abstract Background: Significant gaps remain regarding the pathomechanisms underlying the autoimmune response in vitiligo (VL), where the loss of self-tolerance leads to the targeted killing of melanocytes. Specifically, there is incomplete information regarding alterations in the systemic environment that are relevant to the disease state. Methods: We undertook a genome-wide profiling approach to examine gene expression in the peripheral blood of VL patients and healthy controls in the context of our previously published VL-skin gene expression profile. We used several in silico bioinformatics-based analyses to provide new insights into disease mechanisms and suggest novel targets for future therapy. Results: Unsupervised clustering methods of the VL-blood dataset demonstrate a disease-state-specific set of co-expressed genes. Ontology enrichment analysis of 99 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) uncovers a down-regulated immune/inflammatory response, B-Cell antigen receptor (BCR) pathways, apoptosis and catabolic processes in VL-blood. There is evidence for both type I and II interferon (IFN) playing a role in VL pathogenesis. We used interactome analysis to identify several key blood associated transcriptional factors (TFs) from within (STAT1, STAT6 and NF-kB), as well as hidden (CREB1, MYC, IRF4, IRF1, and TP53) from the dataset that potentially affect disease pathogenesis. The TFs overlap with our reported lesional-skin transcriptional circuitry, underscoring their potential importance to the disease. We also identify a shared VL-blood and -skin transcriptional hot spot that maps to chromosome 6, and includes three VL-blood dysregulated genes (PSMB8, PSMB9 and TAP1) described as potential VL-associated genetic susceptibility loci. Finally, we provide bioinformatics-based support for prioritizing dysregulated genes in VL-blood or skin as potential therapeutic targets. Conclusions: We examined the VL-blood transcriptome in context with our (previously published) VL-skin transcriptional profile to address a major gap in knowledge regarding the systemic changes underlying skin-specific manifestation of vitiligo. Several transcriptional hot spots observed in both environments offer prioritized targets for identifying disease risk genes. Finally, within the transcriptional framework of VL, we identify five novel molecules (STAT1, PRKCD, PTPN6, MYC and FGFR2) that lend themselves to being targeted by drugs for future potential VL-therapy.

Description
Colorectal cancer cells with TP53 mutation are highly resistant to chemotherapeutics. In order to identify potential chemo-resistance signatures, here; we explored the global gene expression profiles of drug resistant colorectal cancer cell line SW480 upon Floxuridine (FdUrd) treatment using Illumina Human HT-12 v4.0 Expression Beadchip Array. Further, significantly altered genes were subjected to the pathway analysis in GeneCodis3 and crucial signaling pathways were found to be enriched. Upon further functional validations, these pathways could be targeted to enhance therapy in human cancers harboring mutant p53.

Description
We recently demonstrated that Msx genes, which encode muscle segment homeobox (Msh) transcription factors, regulate the transition of the luminal epithelium from high to low apicobasal polarity that is critical for implantation. In Msx deficient uteri (Msx1d/d/Msx2d/d), apicobasal polarity remains high and implantation fails to occur. However, information on the underlying molecular mechanism of Msx-dependent regulation of epithelial polarity, and the nature of epithelial-mesenchymal interactions that are characteristic of Msx genes, remain limited. In this study, we analyzed gene expression by RNA-sequencing in the luminal epithelium and stroma isolated by laser capture microdissection (LCM) on day 4 of pseudopregnancy in Msx1f/f/Msx2f/f and Msx1d/d/Msx2d/d uteri. We found upregulation of extracellular matrix components in the stroma and downregulation of immunity-related genes in both the luminal epithelium and stroma isolated from Msx1d/d/Msx2d/d mice. In addition, tight junction protein Claudin 1 and small proline-rich protein (Sprr2) were substantially upregulated in Msx1d/d/Msx2d/d epithelia. Overall design: mRNA profiles of luminal epithelium and stroma from a wildtype Msx1f/f/Msx2f/f and a uterine-specific knockout Msx1d/d/Msx2d/d mouse were asessed by RNA-sequencing with the Illumina HiSeq 1500 system

Description
Hox genes are key regulators of development. In mammals, the study of these genes is greatly confounded by their large number, overlapping functions, and their interspersed shared enhancers. In this report, we describe a novel recombineering strategy that was used to introduce simultaneous frameshift mutations into the flanking Hoxa9, Hoxa10, and Hoxa11 genes, as well as their paralogs on the HoxD cluster. The resulting mutant mice displayed dramatic homeotic transformations of the reproductive tracts, with uterus anteriorized towards oviduct and the vas deferens anteriorized towards epididymis. The Hoxa9,10,11 mutant mice provided a sensitized genetic background that allowed the discovery of Hoxd9,10,11 reproductive tract patterning function. Both shared and distinct Hox functions were defined. The HoxD genes played a crucial role in the regulation of the uterine immune function. Non-coding nonpolyadenylated RNAs were among the key Hox targets. In addition, we observed a surprising anti-dogmatic posteriorization of the uterine epithelium.

Description
Our study demonstrates that neutrophils infiltrate early-stage PTEN-deficient uterine tumors and oppose tumor growth and malignant progression by inducing detachment and ultimately promoting cell death of tumor cells. This RNA-seq study examined the expression profiles of these uterine epithelial tumor cells in the presence versus absence of neutrophil infiltration. Overall design: Tumor cells from 4-week-old tumor-bearing neutrophil-sufficient versus -deficient mice were isolated by fluorescence activated cell sorting, RNA was isolated, and expression profiles were analyzed by deep sequencing.
