Affymetrix Mouse Gene 1.0 ST Array (mogene10st)
Description
Analysis of the roles of Irx3 and Irx5 transcription factors in mouse heart development and postnatal heart function. Results show that show that Irx3 and Irx5 have redundant function in the in the endocardium to regulate atrioventricular canal morphogenesis and outflow tract formation. A postnatal deletion of Irx3 and Irx5 surprisingly results in a restoration of the repolarization gradient that is altered in Irx5 mutant hearts, suggesting a model whereby postnatal Irx3 activity is normally repressed by Irx5.

Description
In addition to lipid second messengers derived from the plasma membrane, increasing evidence supports the existence of nuclear lipid-dependent signaling networks. Diacylglycerol is a key second messenger, generated at the nuclear level, which is metabolized by diacylglycerol kinases (DGKs). It has been demonstrated that nuclear DGK- negatively regulates cell cycle progression. The aim of this study was to identify key determinants of nuclear DGK--dependent cell cycle arrest in C2C12 mouse myoblasts. Using DNA microarrays, Real-Time RT-PCR and western blot, we demonstrated that nuclear DGK- downregulated the expression of cyclin D1 and increased the expression of TIS21/BTG2/PC3, a transcriptional regulator of cyclin D1 with a strong anti-proliferative function. Overexpression of TIS21/BTG2/PC3 blocked the cells in G1 phase of the cell cycle and decreased the levels of Ser807/811 phosphorylated retinoblastoma protein, similarly to overexpression of DGK-. Moreover, during myogenic differentiation of C2C12 cells, we showed an increase of TIS21/BTG2/PC3 expression and a decrease in cyclin D1 levels. siRNA downregulation of TIS21/BTG2/PC3 impaired myogenic differentiation by opposing cell cycle arrest. In summary, these data identify TIS21/BTG2/PC3 and cyclin D1 as downstream effectors of the nuclear DGK- and highlight the importance of this DGK isoform in the regulation of myoblast proliferation and differentiation.

Description
AXL is activated by its ligand GAS6 and is expressed in triple-negative breast cancer cells. We report that AXL is also detected in HER2+ breast cancer specimens where its expression correlates with poor patients' survival. Using murine models of HER2+ breast cancer, AXL, but not Gas6, was found essential for metastasis. We determined that AXL is required for intravasation, extravasation and growth at the metastatic site. AXL is expressed in HER2+ cancers displaying EMT signatures and contributes to sustain EMT in murine tumors. Interfering with AXL in patient-derived xenograft impaired TGF-ß-induced cell invasion. Lastly, pharmacological inhibition of AXL decreased the metastatic burden of mice developing HER2+ breast cancer. Our data identify AXL as a potential co-therapeutic target during the treatment of HER2+ breast cancers to limit metastasis. Overall design: Differential gene expression profile between tumor grafts of AXL-/- and AXL+/+ cells in FVB mice by RNA sequencing (Illumina HiSEq 2000)

- Affymetrix Human Exon 1.0 ST Array [transcript (gene) version (huex10st)
Description
Filtered selection coupled with support vector machines generate functionally relevant prediction model for colorectal cancer. In this study, we built a model that uses Support Vector Machine (SVM) to classify cancer and normal samples using Affymetrix exon microarray data obtained from 90 samples of 48 patients diagnosed with CRC. From the 22,011 genes, we selected the 20, 30, 50, 100, 200, 300 and 500 genes most relevant to CRC using the Minimum-RedundancyMaximum-Relevance (mRMR) technique. With these gene sets, an SVM model was designed using four different kernel types (linear, polynomial, radial basis function and sigmoid).

Description
The nuclear exosome performs critical functions in non-coding RNA processing, and in diverse surveillance functions including the quality control of mRNP formation, and in the removal of pervasive transcripts. Most non-coding RNAs and pervasive nascent transcripts are targeted by the Nrd1p-Nab3p-Sen1p (NNS) complex to terminate Pol II transcription coupled to nuclear exosome degradation or 3´-end trimming. Prior to nuclear exosome activity, the Trf4p-Air2p-Mtr4p polyadenylation complex adds an oligo-A tail to exosome substrates. Inactivating exosome activity stabilizes and lengthens these A-tails. We utilized high-throughput 3´-end poly(A)+ sequencing to identify at nucleotide resolution the 3´ ends targeted by the nuclear exosome, and determine the sites of NNS-dependent termination genome-wide. Overall design: 3´-end mapping of wild-type and various nuclear exosome mutant strains, either using gene knockouts or the anchor away system to conditionally deplete FRB-tagged proteins from the nucleus
