Affymetrix C. elegans Genome Array (celegans)
Description
We used gene expression profiling to address several specific questions that arose in a study of repair of ultraviolet C radiation in C elegans, as well as to generate hypotheses regarding the possible mechanism(s) of decreased DNA repair observed in old adults in that study. This analysis was performed in order to analyze gene expression in the strain (JK1107) and experimental conditions that we used for our DNA repair studies.

Description
Sequencing of RNA isolated from the tibialis anterior muscles of 6 month old C57BL/6J mice that had been injected and electroporated with either a control non-targeting siRNA (NT) or two different UBR4 targeting siRNA sequences (UBR4 siRNA5 and siRNA7) to deplete UBR4. Muscles were harvested 7 days after electroporation and showed significant loss of UBR4 coincident with hypertrophy of type 2A and 2X myofibers. Overall design: 3 samples each of non targeting control and 2 siRNA UBR4 targeting constructs.

Description
Hypoxia promotes an aggressive tumor phenotype with increased genomic instability, partially due to downregulation of DNA repair pathways. However, in addition to DNA repair, genome stability is also controlled by cell cycle checkpoints. An important issue is therefore whether hypoxia also can alter the DNA damage cell cycle checkpoints. Here, we show that hypoxia (24h 0.2% O2) alters the expression of several G2 checkpoint regulators, as examined by microarray gene expression analysis and immunoblotting of U2OS cells. While some of the changes reflected hypoxia-induced inhibition of cell cycle progression, flow cytometric bar-coding analysis of individual cells showed that the levels of several G2 checkpoint regulators were reduced in G2 phase cells after hypoxic exposure, in particular cyclin B1. These effects were accompanied by decreased Cyclin dependent kinase (CDK) activity in G2 phase cells after hypoxia. Furthermore, cells pre-exposed to hypoxia showed a longer G2 checkpoint arrest upon treatment with ionizing radiation. Similar results were found following other hypoxic conditions (~0.03 % O2 20h and 0.2% O2 72h). These results demonstrate that the DNA damage G2 checkpoint can be altered as a consequence of hypoxia, and we propose that such alterations may influence the genome stability of hypoxic tumors.

Description
Human papillomaviruses (HPVs) are associated with nearly all cervical cancers (CCs), 20-30% of head and neck cancers (HNCs), and other cancers. Because HNCs also arise in HPV-negative patients, this type of cancer provides unique opportunities to define similarities and differences of HPV-positive versus HPV-negative cancers arising in the same tissue. Here, we describe genome-wide expression profiling of 84 HNCs, CCs and site-matched normal epithelial samples in which we used laser capture microdissection to enrich samples for tumor-derived versus normal epithelial cells. This analysis revealed that HPV+HNCs and CCs differed in their patterns of gene expression yet shared many changes compared to HPV-HNCs. Some of these shared changes were predicted, but many others were not. Notably, HPV+HNCs and CCs were found to be upregulated in their expression of a distinct and larger subset of cell cycle genes than observed in HPV-HNC. Moreover, HPV+ cancers over-expressed testis-specific genes that are normally expressed only in meiotic cells. Many, though not all, of the hallmark differences between HPV+HNC and HPV-HNC were a direct consequence of HPV and in particular the viral E6 and E7 oncogenes. This included a novel association of HPV oncogenes with testes specific gene expression. These findings in primary human tumors provide novel biomarkers for early detection of HPV+ and HPV- cancers, and emphasize the potential value of targeting E6 and E7 function, alone or combined with radiation and/or traditional chemotherapy, in the treatment of HPV+ cancers.

Description
We generated primary cultures from renal cell carcinoma and matched normal primary kidney cortex tubule cell cultures from 3 patients. Early passage cultures of these two cell types were subjected to chromatin accessibility profiling (DNase-seq) and gene expression profiling (RNA-seq). Studying these paired and patient-matched controlled data sets will shed light on the epigenomic changes that underlie transformation of kidney tubules into malignant cancers. Overall design: Paired DNase-seq and RNA-seq data sets from 2 different primary human kidney cell types (normal and cancer) Note from submitter: The HIM23 samples have a more narrow consent and their raw data will be submitted to dbGaP.

Affymetrix Drosophila Genome 2.0 Array (drosophila2)
Description
The eukaryotic cell cycle, driven by both transcriptional and post-translational mechanisms, is the central molecular oscillator underlying tissue growth throughout animals. While genome-wide studies have investigated cell cycle-associated transcription in unicellular systems, global patterns of periodic transcription in multicellular tissues remain largely unexplored. Here we define the cell cycle-associated transcriptome of the developing Drosophila wing epithelium and compare it with that of cultured Drosophila S2 cells, revealing a core set of periodic genes as well as a surprising degree of context-specificity in periodic transcription. We further employ RNAi-mediated phenotypic profiling to define functional requirements for over 300 periodic genes, with a focus on those required for cell proliferation in vivo. Finally, we investigate the role of novel genes required for interkinetic nuclear migration. Combined, these findings provide a global perspective on cell cycle control in vivo, and highlight a critical need to understand the context-specific regulation of cell proliferation.

Overall design: Transcriptional profiles of two RNAi knockdowns, CR32027-IR1 and CR32027-IR2, are examined in Drosophila wing pouch relative to OreR wt in triplicate by RNA Seq.
