- Affymetrix Rat Gene 2.0 ST Array (ragene20st)
Description
Complement inhibitor C4b-binding protein (C4BP) is synthesized in liver and pancreas and composed of 7 identical alpha chains and one unique beta chain. We showed previously that C4BP binds islet amyloid polypeptide (IAPP) and affects fibril formation in vitro. Now we found that polymeric C4BP inhibited lysis of human erythrocytes incubated with monomeric IAPP while no erythrocyte lysis was observed after incubation with preformed IAPP fibrils. In contrast, monomeric alpha chain of C4BP had significantly reduced activity. Further, addition of monomeric IAPP to a rat insulinoma cell line (INS-1) resulted in decreased cell viability, which was restored in the presence of physiological concentrations of C4BP. Accordingly, addition of C4BP rescued the ability of INS-1 cells and isolated rat islets to respond to glucose stimulation with insulin secretion, which was impaired in the presence of IAPP alone. C4BP was internalized together with IAPP into INS-1 cells and therefore we aimed to study its effect on gene expression. Pathway analyses of mRNA expression microarray data indicated that cells exposed to C4BP and IAPP in comparison to IAPP alone increased expression of genes involved in cholesterol synthesis. Depletion of cholesterol through methyl--cyclodextrin or cholesterol oxidase abolished the protective effect of C4BP on IAPP cytotoxicity of INS-1 cells. Also, inhibition of phosphoinositide 3-kinase but not NF-B had a similar effect. Taken together, one of the mechanisms by which C4BP protects beta-cells from IAPP cytotoxicity is by enhancing cholesterol synthesis.

- Affymetrix Drosophila Genome 2.0 Array (drosophila2)
Description
To compare circadian gene expression within highly discrete neuronal populations, we separately purified and characterized two adjacent but distinct groups of Drosophila adult circadian neurons: the 8 small and 10 large PDF (pigment-dispersing factor)-expressing ventral lateral neurons (s-LNvs and l-LNvs, respectively). The s-LNvs are the principal circadian pacemaker cells, whereas recent evidence indicates that the l-LNvs are involved in sleep and light-mediated arousal. Although half of the l-LNv-enriched mRNA population including core clock mRNAs is shared between the l-LNvs and s-LNvs, the other half is l-LNv- and s-LNv specific. The distribution of four specific mRNAs is consistent with prior characterization of the four encoded proteins and therefore indicates successful purification of the two neuronal types. Moreover, an octopamine receptor mRNA is selectively enriched in l-LNvs, and only these neurons respond to in vitro application of octopamine. Dissection and purification of l-LNvs from flies collected at different times indicate that these neurons contain cycling clock mRNAs with higher circadian amplitudes as well as at least a 10-fold higher fraction of oscillating mRNAs than all previous analyses of head RNA. Many of these cycling l-LNv mRNAs are well-expressed but do not cycle or cycle much less well elsewhere in heads. The results suggest that RNA cycling is much more prominent in circadian neurons than elsewhere in heads and may be particularly important for the functioning of these neurons.

Description
MicroRNAs are a class of small non-coding RNAs that regulate mRNA expression at the post-transcriptional level and thereby many fundamental biological processes. A number of methods, such as multiplex polymerase chain reaction, microarrays have been developed for profiling levels of known miRNAs. These methods lack ability to identify novel miRNAs and accurately determine expression at a range of concentration. Deep or massively parallel sequencing methods are providing suitable platforms for genome wide transcriptome analysis and have the ability to identify novel transcripts. The results of analysis of small RNA sequences obtained by Solexa technology of normal peripheral blood mononuclear cells, tumor cell lines K562 (chronic myelogenous leukemia) and HL60 (acute promyelogenous leukemia) are presented. Custom computation pipelines were used to generate expression profiles of known and for identification of novel miRNAs. Some of the highly expressed miRNAs in the leukocytes include several members of the let 7 family, mir-21, 103, 185, 191 and 320a. Comparison of the miRNA profiles of normal versus K562 cells or HL60 revealed a specific set of differentially expressed molecules. Correlation of the miRNA with that of mRNA expression profiles, obtained by microarray, revealed a set of target genes showing inverse correlation with miRNA levels. Our computational pipeline also predicted a number of novel miRNAs. Some of the predictions were validated by realtime RT-PCR and or RNAase protection assay. Overall design: The small RNA population from four samples - Two Normal Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) samples, K562 cell line (This cell line is used as a model to study Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia), HL60 (This cell line is used to study acute promyelogenous leukemia) was sequenced using Solexa technology.

- Affymetrix Human Genome U95A Array (hgu95a)
Description
Gene expression profiling was performed on biopsies of affected and unaffected psoriatic skin and normal skin from seven Japanese patients to obtain insights into the pathways that control this disease. U95A Affymetrix DNA chips that contain oligonucleotide arrays of approximately 12,000 well-characterized human genes were used in the study. The statistical analysis of the Affymetrix data, based on the ranking of the Student-test statistic, revealed a complex regulation of molecular stress and immune gene responses. The majority of the 266 induced-genes in affected and unaffected psoriatic skin were involved with interferon mediation, immunity, cell-adhesion, cytoskeleton restructuring, protein trafficking and degradation, RNA regulation and degradation, signaling transduction, apoptosis and atypical epidermal cellular proliferation and differentiation. The disturbances in the normal protein degradation equilibrium of skin were reflected by the significant increase in the gene expression of various protease inhibitors and proteinases including the induced components of the ATP/ubiquitin-dependent non-lysosomal proteolytic pathway that is involved with peptide processing and presentation to T-cells. Some of the upregulated genes, such as TGM1, IVL, CSTA, FABP5 and SPRR, are well known psoriatic markers involved in atypical epidermal cellular organization and differentiation. In the comparison between the affected and unaffected psoriatic skin, the transcription factor JUNB was found at the top of the statistical rankings for the 51 significantly upregulated genes in affected skin, suggesting that it has an important but as yet undefined role in psoriasis. Our gene expression data and analysis suggest that psoriasis is a chronic IFN and T-cell-mediated immune disease of the skin where the imbalance in epidermal cellular structure, growth and differentiation arises from the molecular antiviral stress signals initiating inappropriate immune responses.
