Affymetrix Mouse Gene 1.0 ST Array (mogene10st)
Description
Lineage-specific transcription factors, which drive cellular identity during embryogenesis, have been shown to convert cell fate when express ectopically in heterologous cells. Herein, we screened the key molecular factors governing the dopaminergic neuronal specification during brain development for their ability to generate similar neurons directly from mouse and human fibroblasts. Remarkably, we found a minimal set of three factors Mash1, Nurr1 and Lmx1a/b able to elicit such cellular reprogramming. Molecular and transcriptome studies showed reprogrammed DA neurons to faithfully recapitulate gene expression of their brain homolog cells while lacking expression of other catecholaminergic neuronal types. Induced neurons showed spontaneous electrical activity organized in regular spikes consistent with the pacemaker activity featured by brain DA neurons. The three factors were able to elicit DA neuronal conversion in human fibroblasts from prenatal or adult fibroblasts of healthy donors and a Parkinsons disease patient. Generation of DA induced neurons from somatic cells might have significant implications in studies of neural development, disease in vitro modeling and cell replacement therapies.

Description
To identify the genes and pathways regulated by FOXF2, we investigated potential FOXF2 gene targets by microarray analyses of primary prostate stromal cells (PrSC) in which FOXF2 was knocked down by siRNA. 190 differentially expressed genes were selected, of which 104 genes were more highly expressed in PrSC cells treated with FOXF2 siRNA and 86 were more highly expressed in PRSC cells treated with negative control siRNA.

Description
RhoGDIbeta (ARHGDIB) is often expressed in tumor cells. It negatively regulates Rho-GTPases, but may have other functions as well. To analyze its effect on gene expression, RhoGDIbeta was suppressed by RNA interference in MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells and changes in gene expression monitored by cDNA microarrays.

Cyclooxygenase-2 is a target gene of rho GDP dissociation inhibitor beta in breast cancer cells.

Illumina HiSeq 2000
Description
Ubiquitous expression of ALS-causing mutations in superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) provoke non-cell autonomous paralytic disease. By combining ribosome affinity purification and high-throughput sequencing, a cascade of mutant SOD1-dependent, cell type-specific changes are now identified. Initial mutant-dependent damage is restricted to motor neurons and includes synapse and metabolic abnormalities, endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, and selective activation of the PERK arm of the unfolded protein response. PERK activation correlates with what we identify to be a naturally low level of ER chaperones in motor neurons. Early changes in astrocytes are to genes involved in inflammation and metabolism and that are targets of the PPAR and LXR transcription factors. Dysregulation of myelination and lipid signaling pathways and activation of ETS transcription factors occur in oligodendrocytes only after disease initiation. Thus, pathogenesis involves a temporal cascade of cell type selective damage initiating in motor neurons, with subsequent damage within glia driving disease propagation. Overall design: Cell type-specific mRNA was purified by ribosome affinity purification from the spinal cord of bacTRAP reporter mice that label selective cell types by EGFP-tagged ribosome RPL10A. Sequencing libraries were prepared from 3-6 biological replicates for each genotype to determine the mutant induced gene expression changes in specific cell types.

Description
One goal of viral infection is to reprogram the host cell to optimize viral replication. As part of this process, viral miRNAs may compete for components of the miRNA/siRNA pathway as well as regulate cellular targets. Mouse Cytomegalovirus has been described to generate large numbers of viral miRNAs during lytic infection and was therefore used to analyze the impact of viral miRNAs on the host cell small RNA system as well as to check for sorting of viral small RNAs into specific Ago-proteins. Deep sequencing analysis of MCMV infected cells revealed that viral miRNAs represent only app. 13% of all detected miRNAs. All previously described MCMV miRNAs with the exception of miR-m88-1* were confirmed and for the MCMV miR-m01-1 hairpin an additional miRNA, designated miR-m01-1-3p, was found. Its presence was confirmed by qPCR and Northern Blot. Deep sequencing after RISC IP with antibodies specific for either Ago1 or Ago2 showed that all MCMV miRNAs are loaded into both RISC complexes. The ratio of MCMV to mouse miRNAs was not increased after immunoprecipitation of Ago-proteins. Viral miRNAs therefore do not overwhelm the host miRNA processing system nor are they preferentially incorporated into RISC. We found that 3 mouse miRNAs showed an altered expression due to MCMV infection. Down-regulation of miR-27a, as previously described, could be confirmed. In addition, miR-26a was down-regulated and an up-regulation of miR-7a dependent on viral protein expression could be observed. Overall design: Examination of small RNA expression in uninfected vs. infected cells, immunoprecipitation + sequencing of Ago1 and Ago2 loaded small RNAs in infected cells

Description
Restricted feeding impacts the hepatic circadian clock of WT mice. Cry1, Cry2 double KO mice lack a circadian clock and are thus expected to show rhythmical gene expression in the liver. Imposing a temporally restricted feeding schedule on these mice shows how the hepatic circadian clock and rhythmic food intake regulate rhythmic transcription in parallel
