Description
The Myc proteins (N-, L- and c-Myc) are transcription factors involved in many biological functions such as regulation of cell proliferation, differentiation, metabolism and apoptosis. A large number of human cancers show enhanced expression of myc family proto-oncogenes as one of their hallmarks. These proteins contain a basic region/helix-loop-helix/leucine zipper (bHLHZip) domain that mediates DNA binding and heterodimerization with its partner Max (Myc/Max heterodimer). Among Myc proteins, c-Myc is the most widely expressed and relevant in primary B lymphocytes. Some reports have implied that c-Myc can perform some functions without Max in different cell contexts. However, the functional interplay in vivo between c-Myc and Max during B lymphocyte differentiation is not well-known. Here we show that c-Myc requires Max. However, key biological processes such as cell differentiation and DNA replication can initially progress without c-Myc/Max heterodimer in primary B lymphocytes. We found that B lymphocytes lacking Myc, Max or both showed upregulation of signalling pathways associated with the B cell receptor. Our data suggest that c-Myc/Max heterodimers are not essential for the initiation of certain biological processes in B lymphocytes. Rather, c-Myc/Max are necessary for fine-tuning the initial response in these cells after activation. Overall design: B cell mRNA profiles of 8-week old control (HET) Myc deficient (MycKO), Max deficient (MaxKO) and double deficient (DKO) mice were generated by deep sequencing, in duplicate, using a HiSeq2500 (Illumina.

Description
Precursor T-cell lymphoblastic neoplasms are aggressive haematological neoplasm that most often manifest with extensive marrow and blood affectation (T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia or T-ALL) or less commonly as a thymic mass with limited bone marrow infiltration (T-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma or T-LBL). Here we show data from RNA-Seq in a sample series of T-LBL from Spanish patients.The goal was to determine the levels of expression of coding genes and microRNAs, and to identify all genetic variants including SNVs, indels, and fusion transcripts. Overall design: Expression data were determined by comparson of each tumour sample with two control thymuses (404 and 405). Genetic variants were determined by comparison of tumour sequences with canonical ENSEMBL normal-references of each gene.

- Affymetrix Porcine Genome Array (porcine)
Description
Background: Transcriptome variability is due to genetic and environmental causes, much like any other complex phenotype. Ascertaining the transcriptome differences between individuals is an important step to understand how selection and genetic drift may affect gene expression. To that end, extant divergent livestock breeds offer an ideal genetic material.

Description
Although a number of animal model studies have addressed changes in gene expression in the parenchyma and their relationship to emphysema, much less is known about the pathogenesis of cigarette smoke-induced small airway remodeling. In this study, we exposed rat tracheal explants to whole smoke for 15 minutes, and then cultured the explants in air. The airway transcriptome was evaluated using RAE 230_2 GeneChips. By 2 hours after starting smoke exposure, expression levels of 502 genes were changed up or down by more than 1.5 times (p values <0.01 or less), and by 24 hours, 1870 genes were significantly changed up or down. These included genes involved in anti-oxidant protection, epithelial defense and remodeling, inflammatory mediators and transcription factors, and a number of unexpected genes including the MMP-12 inducer, tachykinin-1 (substance P). Pre-treatment of the explants with 1 x 10-7 M dexamethasone reduced the number of significantly changed genes by approximately 47% at 2 hr and 68% at 24 hours, and in almost all instances, reduced the magnitude of the smoke-induced changes. We conclude that even a very brief exposure to cigarette smoke can lead to rapid changes in the expression of a large number of genes in rat tracheal explants, and that these effects are directly mediated by smoke, without a need for exogenous inflammatory cells. Steroids, contrary to the usual belief, are able to ameliorate many of these changes, at least in this very acute model.
