Affymetrix Porcine Genome Array (porcine)
Description
Previous results from a genome scan in a F2 Iberian by Meishan intercross showed several chromosome regions associated with litter size traits. In order to identify candidate genes underlying these QTL we have performed an ovary gene expression analysis during pregnancy. F2 sows were ranked by their estimated breeding values for prolificacy, the six sows with higher EBV (HIGH prolificacy) and the six with lower EBV (LOW prolificacy) were selected. Samples were hybridized to Affymetrix porcine expression microarrays. The statistical analysis with a mixed-model approach identified 221 differentially expressed probes, representing 189 genes. These genes were functionally annotated in order to identify the genetic pathways overrepresented. Among the most represented functional groups the first one was immune system response activation against external stimulus. The second group was made up of genes which regulate the maternal homeostasis by complement and coagulation cascades. The last group was involved on lipid and fatty acid enzymes of metabolic processes, which participate in steroidogenesis pathway. In order to identify powerful candidate genes for prolificacy, the second approach of this study was merging microarray data with position information of QTL affecting litter size, previously detected in the same experimental cross. According to this, we have identified 27 differentially expressed genes co-localized with QTL for litter size traits, which fulfill the biological, positional and functional criteria.

Description
Current preclinical models in tumor biology are limited in their ability to recapitulate relevant (patho-) physiological processes, including autophagy. Three-dimensional (3D) growth cultures have frequently been proposed to overcome the lack of correlation between two-dimensional (2D) monolayer cell cultures and human tumors in preclinical drug testing. Besides 3D growth, it is also advantageous to simulate shear stress, compound flux and removal of metabolites, e.g. via bioreactor systems, through which culture medium is constantly pumped at a flow rate reflecting physiological conditions. Here, we show that both Staticic 3D growth and 3D growth within a bioreactor system modulate key hallmarks of cancer cells, including proliferation and cell death as well as macroautophagy, a recycling pathway often activated by highly proliferative tumors to cope with metabolic stress. The autophagy-related gene expression profiles of 2D- and 3D-grown cells are substantially different, with the 3D-grown cells exhibiting an expression profile closely resembling the (patho-) physiological Statice of a tumor. Underscoring the importance of this pathway, autophagy-controlling transcription factors, such as TFEB and FOXO3, are upregulated in tumors, and 3D-grown cells have increased expression compared with cells grown in 2D conditions. Three-dimensional cultures depleted of the autophagy mediators BECN1, ATG5 or ATG7 or the transcription factor FOXO3, are more sensitive to cytotoxic treatment. Accordingly, combining cytotoxic treatment with compounds affecting late autophagic flux, such as chloroquine, renders the 3D-grown cells more susceptible to therapy and increases intracellular doxorubicin concentration to the level of 2D-grown cells. Altogether, 3D cultures are a valuable tool to study drug response of tumor cells, as these models recapitulate (patho-) physiologically relevant pathways, such as autophagy.

Description
Background & Aims. Glycine N-methyltransferase (GNMT) is an essential regulator of the total transmethylation flux in the mammalian liver. Distinct DNA methylation patterns are characteristic of liver development, hepatic de-differentiation and liver disease progression, processes in which the levels of GNMT decrease dramatically by mechanisms still poorly understood. Interestingly, putative binding sites for the microRNA miRNA-873-5p were identified in the 3´UTR of GNMT suggesting a potential role for miRNA-873-5p in GNMT regulation. Results. We have identified that the hepatic expression of miRNA-873-5p was increased in a cohort of cirrhotic and liver cancer patients associated with a down-regulation of GNMT levels. Moreover, during liver development, hepatic de-differentiation and fibrosis, the elevation of miRNA-873-5p coincided with the reduction of GNMT expression, indicating that miRNA-873-5p specifically targets the expression of GNMT. Under these circumstances, inhibition of miRNA-873-5p induced GNMT levels and decreased global CpG methylation and transmethylation flux. Indeed, reestablishment of GNMT expression by miRNA-873-5p inhibition reduced hepatocyte de-differentiation, and abolished completely the mortality produced after bile duct ligation as a result of decreased proinflamatory and profibrogenic markers. miRNA-873-5p knockdown-mediated antifibrotic effect was significantly blunted if its effect on GNMT was blocked. Conclusion. Taken together, our studies highlight the role of miRNA-873-5p as a key regulator of GNMT expression, paving the way for new therapeutical approaches in liver de-differentiation and fibrosis. Overall design: Genome-wide changes in gene Expression in mouse livers from BDL treated or not with anti-miR-873 were generated by RNAseq.
