Affymetrix Mouse Gene 1.0 ST Array (mogene10st)
Description
Microarray analysis of murine retinal light damage reveals changes in iron regulatory, complement, and antioxidant genes in the neurosensory retina and isolated retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). With the advent of microarrays representing most of the transcriptome and techniques to obtain RNA from the isolated RPE monolayer, we have probed the response of the RPE and neurosensory retina (NSR) to light damage.

Description
Despite timely and successful surgery, 32% of patients with bilateral and 10% with unilateral cryptorchidism will develop azoospermia. Cryptorchid boys at risk of azoospermia display a typical testicular histology of impaired mini-puberty at the time of the orchidopexy.

Description
Purpose: Avian photoreceptors are a diverse class of neurons, comprised of four single cones, the two members of the double cone, and rods. Many distinctive features of photoreceptor subtypes, including spectral tuning, oil droplet size and pigmentation, synaptic targets and spatial patterning, have been well characterized, but the molecular mechanisms underlying these attributes have not been explored. Furthermore, the signaling events and transcriptional regulators driving the differentiation of these diverse photoreceptors are currently unknown. Methods: To identify genes specifically expressed in distinct chicken (Gallus gallus) photoreceptor subtypes, we developed fluorescent reporters that label photoreceptor subpopulations, isolated these subpopulations using fluorescence-activated cell sorting, subjected them to next-generation sequencing, and conducted differential expression analysis. Results: We identified hundreds of differentially expressed genes from photoreceptor subpopulations labeled with rhodopsin, red opsin, green opsin, and violet opsin reporters. These genes are involved in a variety of processes, including phototransduction, transcriptional regulation, cell adhesion, maintenance of intra- and extra-cellular structure, and metabolism. Of particular note are a variety of differentially expressed transcription factors, which may drive and maintain photoreceptor diversity, and cell adhesion molecules that may mediate spatial patterning of photoreceptors and act to establish retinal circuitry. Conclusions: These analyses provide a framework for future studies that will dissect the role of these various factors in the differentiation of avian photoreceptor subtypes. Overall design: mRNA expression profiling of 5 pairs of photoreceptor subtypes isolated from chicken retinal explants, 3 replicates per sample

Description
It is well appreciated that reactive oxygen species (ROS) are deleterious to mammals, including humans, especially when generated in abnormally large quantities from cellular metabolism. Whereas the mechanisms leading to the production of ROS are rather well delineated, the mechanisms underlying tissue susceptibility or tolerance to oxidant stress remain elusive. Through an experimental selection over many generations, we have previously generated Drosophila melanogaster flies that tolerate tremendous oxidant stress and have shown that the family of antimicrobial peptides (AMP) is over-represented in these tolerant flies. Furthermore, we have also demonstrated that overexpression of even one AMP at a time (e.g. Diptericin) allows wild type flies to survive much better in hyperoxia. In the current study, we used a number of experimental approaches to investigate the potential mechanisms underlying hyperoxia tolerance in flies with antimicrobial peptide overexpression. We demonstrate that flies with Diptericin overexpression resist oxidative stress by increasing antioxidant enzyme activities and preventing an increase in ROS level after hyperoxia. Depleting the GSH pool using buthionine sulfoximine limits fly survival, thus confirming that enhanced survival observed in these flies is related to improved redox homeostasis. We conclude that a) AMPs play an important role in tolerance to oxidant stress; b) overexpression of Diptericin changes the cellular redox balance between oxidant and antioxidant, and c) this change in redox balance plays an important role in survival in hyperoxia.

Description
One of the critical substances that mammals highly regulate via the respiratory, cardiovascular and neurologic systems is O2. Both low and high O2 levels can induce major morbidities as well as mortality. Indeed, O2 has been often considered as both an elixir and a poison in humans. In current study, we have used an experimental selection approach to generate Drosophila strains that are tolerant to severe hyperoxic environment. Gene expression profiling is then applied to investigate the mechanisms underlying hyperoxia tolerance in the newly generated strains.
