Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a common bacterium in the terminal plumbing system of buildings and it is from this niche that a substantial fraction of infections are acquired. To better understand P. aeruginosa biology in this environment, we examined the transcriptomes in tap water and pond water.

View SamplesWe used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression underlying palate development by persistent expression in R26Pax3 mice and identified distinct classes of up-regulated and down-regulated genes during this process.
Persistent expression of Pax3 in the neural crest causes cleft palate and defective osteogenesis in mice.

View SamplesHutchinsonGilford progeria syndrome (HGPS) is a rare genetic disease with widespread phenotypic features resembling premature aging. HGPS was recently shown to be caused by dominant mutations in the LMNA gene, resulting in the in-frame deletion of 50 amino acids near the carboxyl terminus of the encoded lamin A protein. Children with this disease typically succumb to myocardial infarction or stroke caused by severe atherosclerosis at an average age of 13 years. To elucidate further the molecular
Genome-scale expression profiling of Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome reveals widespread transcriptional misregulation leading to mesodermal/mesenchymal defects and accelerated atherosclerosis.

View SamplesThe motor neurons innervating the muscles of facial expression are organized into somatotopic hindbrain clusters termed subnuclei. Each of the medial, intermediate, dorsolateral, and lateral subnuclei gives rise to a specific branch of the facial motor nerve (cranial nerve VII). How subnucleus-specific gene expression could mediate the accurate development of facial nerve projections was not well understood.

View SamplesThe objective of this study was to examine relationships between weight loss through changes in lifestyle and peripheral blood gene expression profiles. Substantial weight loss (-15.2+3.8%) in lifestyle participants was associated with improvement in selected cardiovascular risk factors and significant changes in peripheral blood gene expression from pre- to post-intervention: 132 unique genes showed significant expression changes related to immune function and inflammatory responses involving endothelial activation.
Importance of substantial weight loss for altering gene expression during cardiovascular lifestyle modification.

View SamplesThe type II Oncostatin M receptor (OSMR) serves as the main binding site for the pleiotropic cytokine OSM. We have previously demonstrated a positive correlation between copy number driven OSMR over-expression and adverse clinical outcome in cervical tumours and have also established enhanced angiogenic, migratory and invasive potential as major consequences of OSMR over-expression using cell-line models of cervical cancer. By analysis of gene expression patterns in cell lines and tumours, this study now systematically defines cohorts of genes that are implicated for the phenotypes observed. Importantly, we have identified 15 OSM induced genes that are involved in at least one of these key functions and are up-regulated in both OSMR over-expressing cell-lines and tumours. These genes can serve as markers of OSM signalling in OSMR over-expressing SCCs and represent suitable targets for functional characterisation.
Overexpression of the oncostatin M receptor in cervical squamous cell carcinoma cells is associated with a pro-angiogenic phenotype and increased cell motility and invasiveness.
