Affymetrix Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 Array (hgu133plus2)
Description
Tankyrases (TNKS) play roles in Wnt signaling, telomere homeostasis and mitosis, offering attractive targets for anti-cancer treatment. Using unbiased combination screening in a large panel of cancer cell lines, we have identified a strong synergy between TNKS and MEK inhibitors in KRAS mutant cancer cells. Our study uncovers a novel function of TNKS in the relief of a feedback loop induced by MEK inhibition on FGFR2 signaling pathway. Moreover, dual inhibition of TNKS and MEK leads to more robust apoptosis and anti-tumor activity both in vitro and in vivo than effects observed by previously reported MEK inhibitor combinations. Altogether, our results show how a novel combination of TNKS and MEK inhibitors can be highly effective in targeting KRAS mutant cancers by suppressing a newly discovered resistance mechanism.

Description
Gene expression was studied from the blood derived RNAs of the Finnish family members as well as from 10 controls using GeneChip Human Genome U133 Plus2 (Affymetrix). Eight out of 10 family members in the expression analysis are heterozygous for the NPAT c.2437-2438delAG, three of which are NLPHL cases.

Description
When misexpressed in late Drosophila prepupae, the transcription factor Senseless (Sens) blocks death of the larval salivary glands that normally occurs in the early pupa. The aim of the experiment was to identify genes responding to Sens that might mediate the effect of the protein on cell death and other biological processes. The yeast transcription factor GAL4, expressed from a heat-inducible transgene (P{GAL4-Hsp70.PB}89-2-1), was used to drive expression of Sens from a UAS-sens transgene. After crossing the GAL4 and UAS lines, expression of GAL4 was induced by a 30-min heat shock treatment (37 C) of the progeny at 9 hours after puparium formation. Salivary glands were dissected at 14 hours after puparium formation and RNA isolated for microarray analysis with Affymetrix GeneChips. Control samples were obtained from animals treated the same way carrying one copy of the GAL4 transgene (progeny of a cross between flies of the P{GAL4-Hsp70.PB}89-2-1 and w1118 strains) and w1118 animals. The microarray data identified several genes associated with programmed cell death, including caspase genes, which respond to Sens. In addition, the data show that many Drosophila genes respond to the yeast transcription factor GAL4 in a UAS-independent manner. To identify target genes of Sens that are of biological relevance, gene expression patterns in the presence of Sens were compared to gene expression patterns in both the presence and the absence of GAL4. This comparison revealed that Sens seems to preferentially downregulate targets that are upregulated by GAL4, suggesting that these genes may not necessarily constitute true transcriptional targets of Sens.

Description
When misexpressed in late Drosophila prepupae, the transcription factor Fork head (Fkh) blocks death of the larval salivary glands that normally occurs in the early pupa. The aim of the experiment was to identify genes responding to Fkh that might mediate the effect of the protein on cell death and other biological processes. Fkh was expressed in the line P[hs-Fkh111] from a heat-inducible transgene that encodes wild-type Fkh protein. Expression of Fkh was induced by incubating prepupae for 30 min in a 37 C water bath, starting at 9.5 hours after puparium formation. Salivary glands were dissected at 14 hours after puparium formation and RNA isolated for microarray analysis with Affymetrix GeneChips. Control samples were obtained from w1118 animals treated the same way. The microarray analysis identified 55 genes annotated as functioning in apoptosis whose expression was at least 1.5-fold changed by Fkh. These genes include the death genes hid and reaper, which play a central role in the control of salivary gland death. Other groups of significantly enriched genes include genes functioning in autophagy, steroid-signaling pathways, salivary gland secretion, and phospholipid metabolism. In addition, the microarray data identify genes as responsive to Fkh that are known to be controlled by the FOXA counterparts of Fkh in vertebrates, indicating that target genes and biological processes controlled by Fkh are evolutionarily conserved.

Behavioral analysis confirmed that the 14-day social defeat sessions resulted in induction of depressive-like states measured in social interaction and light/dark tests. The combined data show that stress-induced depressive states are associated with molecular and structural changes that demyelinate the prefrontal cortex.

Description
We have generated tumorigenic (S2N) and non-tumorigenic (S2), normal-like to basal-like breast cancer cell lines from primary tumors. At high in vivo inoculation cell numbers of 10^6 cells/mouse both S2N and S2 monolayer as well as sphere culture cells grew at similar rates. However, at low inoculation cell numbers down to 10^3 cells only S2N sphere cells generated xenograft tumors. mRNA profiling revealed a unique cluster pattern of the tumorigenic S2N sphere cells, but a detailed analysis of TIC relevant transcription factors like Oct3, Sox and Nanog family members, Myc, Slug or Twist1 revealed no consistently increased expression in the highly tumorigenic cell lines. Our data indicate that the intrinsic genetic and functional markers investigated are not solely indicative of the in vivo tumorigenicity of putative breast tumor-initiating cells.

Description
We investigated the effects of diabetes, physical training, and their combination on the gene expression of cardiac muscle. Mice were divided to control (C), training (T), streptozotocin-induced diabetic (D), and diabetic training (DT) groups. Training groups performed 1, 3, or 5 weeks of endurance training on a motor-driven treadmill. Muscle samples from T and DT groups together with respective controls were collected 24 hours after the last training session. Gene expression of cardiac muscles were analyzed using Affymetrix Gene chip MG U74Av2 (Affymetrix , Inc., Santa Clara, CA).
