Affymetrix Mouse Genome 430A 2.0 Array (mouse430a2)
Description
The dentate gyrus (DG) of the hippocampus is one of major targets for antidepressant treatments. Using electroconvulsive stimulation (ECS), a model of highly effective and fast-acting antidepressant therapy, here we show that neural stimulation via ECS induces rapid and lasting dematuration of granule neurons in DG. A single time of stimulation transiently reduced mature marker expression and mature synaptic functions. Repetitive stimulation converted this transient dematuration into a stable form lasting more than 1 month. We compared the activity-dependent neuronal responsiveness in the DG between a single ECS and repeated ECS.

Description
The dentate gyrus (DG) of the hippocampus is one of major targets for antidepressant treatments. Our recent research has revealed that selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) treatment causes a long-lasting change in the phenotypes of mature dentate granule neurons to immature state in adult mouse DG. However, it is unknown whether this dematuration of DG is a common effect of antidepressant treatments and what mechanisms underlie it. Using electroconvulsive stimulation (ECS), a model of highly effective and fast-acting antidepressant therapy, here we show that neural stimulation via ECS induces rapid and lasting dematuration of granule neurons in DG. A single or few times of stimulation transiently reduced mature marker expression and mature synaptic functions. Repetitive stimulation converted this transient dematuration into a stable form lasting more than 1 month. Dematured granule neurons showed higher excitability, and an increase in GABA-mediated inhibition by the benzodiazepine diazepam prevented the lasting maintenance phase of dematuration without affecting the initial induction phase. Our study suggests that dematuration of DG is a common cellular mechanism underlying effects of different types of antidepressant treatments, and demonstrate a novel role for excitation/inhibition balance in bidirectional regulation of the state of neuronal maturation in the adult brain.

Description
BACKGROUND: Lim1 is a homeobox gene that is essential for nephrogenesis. During metanephric kidney development, Lim1 is expressed in the nephric duct, ureteric buds, and the induced metanephric mesenchyme. Conditional ablation of Lim1 in the metanephric mesenchyme blocks the formation of nephrons at the nephric vesicle stage, leading to the production of small, non-functional kidneys that lack nephrons.
Publication Title
Gene expression profiles in developing nephrons using Lim1 metanephric mesenchyme-specific conditional mutant mice.

Description
Iron plays a central role in the regulation of many cellular functions. Dysregulation of its metabolism leads an iron overload situation and iron depletion leads to an inhibition of cell proliferation. Recent reports demonstrated that ICL670 (Novartis) acts as a potent NF-kappa-B inhibitor and improves hematological data in a subset of MDS patients (Cilloni et al, Haematologica, s1: 238, 2007). However, the precise mechanism of anti-cancer effect of ICL670 is still uncertain.

- Affymetrix Zebrafish Genome Array (zebrafish)
Description
Side population (SP) cells are identified based on their capacity to efflux of the fluorescent dye Hoechst 33342, and are enriched for hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) in mammalian bone marrow. We recently demonstrated that SP cells were present in the teleost kidney, the main hematopoietic organ in teleosts, and were enriched for HSCs. In this analysis, to identify the regulated genes in teleost HSCs, gene expression analysis of zebrafish kidney SP cells were performed using the GeneChip Zebrafish Genome Array.

Description
Objectives: Sex hormone receptors are reported to be present in human dental pulp (HDP) cells. The purpose of this study was to examine the biological significance of estrogen and androgen receptors (ER and AR, respectively) in HDP cells. Design: We isolated HDP cells expressing ER- and AR-mRNAs and investigated the expression status of the receptors and the response to sex hormones in the cells. Results: HDP cells expressing ER- and/or AR-mRNAs had the ability to form alizarin red S-positive nodules in which calcium and phosphorus were deposited in vitro and to differentiate into odontoblasts-like cells and dentin-like tissue in vivo. Individual clones isolated from HDP cells exhibited a different expression pattern of mRNA for ER and AR. Some clones expressed ER- and/or ER-mRNAs and the others coexpressed ER- and AR-mRNAs. Using the Ingenuity software, we found that 17-estradiol (E2) and dihydrotestosterone (DHT) could act directly on HDP cells through ER- or androgen signaling-mediated mechanisms. E2 or DHT stimulated the mRNA expression for genes related to odontogenesis of dentin-containing teeth and odontoblast differentiation, suggesting that ER and AR in HDP cells may be involved in dentinogenesis. Conclusions: Our findings provide new insights into the biological significance of sex hormone receptors in HDP cells.

Description
We demonstrated recently that both constitutive and FAS-triggered apoptosis of human neutrophils are profoundly impaired by Francisella tularensis, but how this is achieved is largely unknown. To test the hypothesis that changes in neutrophil gene expression contribute to this phenotype, we used human oligonucleotide microarrays to identify differentially regulated genes in cells infected with F. tularensis strain LVS compared with uninfected controls.
