Affymetrix Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 Array (hgu133plus2)
Description
A genetic study of the PRF1 gene has shown association of several polymorphisms with multiple sclerosis (MS). Haplotype analysis identified risk haplotypes strongly associated with male patients having the primary-progressive form of MS (PPMS). Gene expression microarrays were performed in 10 male PPMS patients carrying the risk (n=6) and protective haplotypes (n=4) in order to identify pathways associated with the risk haplotypes. Pathway analysis revealed overrepresentation of the cell killing gene ontology category among down-regulated genes in patients carrying risk haplotypes compared with patients carrying protective haplotypes.

Description
Handedness and language are two well-studied examples of asymmetrical brain function in humans. Approximately 90% of humans exhibit a right-hand preference, and the vast majority shows left-hemisphere dominance for language function. Although genetic models of human handedness and language have been proposed, the actual gene expression differences between cerebral hemispheres in humans remain to be fully defined. In the present study, gene expression profiles were examined in both hemispheres of three cortical regions involved in handedness and language in humans and their homologues in rhesus macaques: ventrolateral prefrontal cortex, posterior superior temporal cortex (STC), and primary motor cortex. Although the overall pattern of gene expression was very similar between hemispheres in both humans and macaques, weighted gene correlation network analysis revealed gene co-expression modules associated with hemisphere, which are different among the three cortical regions examined. Notably, a receptor-enriched gene module in STC was particularly associated with hemisphere and showed different expression levels between hemispheres only in humans.

Description
The purpose of this study is to investigate the transcriptional programs as it relates to disease latency initiated by different MLL fusion proteins, including: MLL-AF1p, MLL-AF6, MLL-Gas7, MLL-AF9 and MLL-ENL. Leukemia cell lines were established by transforming kit+ mouse bone marrow cells with retroviruses coding MLL-AF1p, MLL-AF6, MLL-Gas7, MLL-AF9 or MLL-ENL. At early phase after the cell lines were established, cells growing at exponential phase (cell density at 0.5~1x106/ml) were harvested for RNA extraction and sequencing purpose. Overall design: Sequencing is performed on total RNA isolated from mouse leukemia cell lines generated from kit+ mouse bone marrow cells transduced with various MLL fusion proteins and is compared to control total RNA isolated from kit+ mouse bone marrow cells.

Description
RNAseq characterization of gene expression changes 72 hours after genomic excision of Cebpa in murine hematopoietic progenitors from Cebpaf/f;CreER mice transformed by Hoxa9/Meis1. In the presence of tamoxifen (4OHT), Cre-ER localizes to the nucleus of cells allowing for excision of Cebpa and loss of C/EBPa protein levels. Loss of C/EBPa leads to a decrease in cellular proliferation. Overall design: Examination of gene expression by RNAseq in two conditions in biological replicates.

Description
Characterization of gene expression changes 72 hours after withdrawal of tamoxifen in murine hematopoietic progenitors transformed by Hoxa9-ER/Meis1 using RNAseq. In the presence of tamoxifen (4OHT), Hoxa9-ER localizes to the nucleus of cells allowing for transformation, while withdrawal of 4OHT (culture in EtOH) leads to loss of nuclear Hoxa9-ER. Loss of Hoxa9-ER leads to a decrease in cellular proliferation and differentiation along the myeloid lineage. Overall design: Examination of gene expression by RNAseq in two conditions in biological replicates.

Description
Importantly increasing evidence shows that Hox genes such as Hoxa9 are key regulators of stem cell self-renewal and hematopoiesis. Hoxa9 is expressed in early hematopoietic progenitor cells and promotes stem cell expansion. In contrast Hoxa9 down regulation is associated with hematopoietic differentiation. In addition to its role in development, HOXA9 has been intensively studied because of its central role in human acute leukemias. Despite their obvious biomedical importance, the mechanisms through which Hoxa9 and its partner proteins exert their downstream functions are poorly understood.

Description
The Polymerase Associated Factor (PAFc) complex is an epigenetic regulating complex that has been shown to to be important for Acute Myeloid Leukemias harboring an MLL chromosomal translocations, such as MLL-AF9 leukemias. This study describes the transcriptomic profiling of AML cells following genetic deletion of the PAFc subunit Cdc73. Overall design: Cdc73floxed cells were transformed to an AML using MLL-AF9 oncogene transduction. The cells were also transduced with a 4OHT inducible CreER. The cells were then treated for 24 or 48 hours with 4OHT to induce genetic excision of Cdc73 and polyA mRNA was isolated for sequencing of the transcriptome. Biological duplicates are labelled _1 and _2.

Description
Room temperature whole blood mRNA stabilization procedures, such as the PAX gene system, are critical for the application of transcriptional analysis to population-based clinical studies. Global transcriptome analysis of whole blood RNA using microarrays has proven to be challenging due to the high abundance of globin transcripts that constitute 70% of whole blood mRNA in the blood. This is a particular problem in patients with sickle-cell disease, secondary to the high abundance of globin-expressing nucleated red blood cells and reticulocytes in the circulation . In order to more accurately measure the steady state whole blood transcriptome in sickle-cell patients, we evaluated the efficacy of reducing globin transcripts in PAXgene stabilized RNA samples for genome-wide transcriptome analyses using oligonucleotide arrays. We demonstrate here by both microarrays and Q-PCR that the globin mRNA depletion method resulted in 55-65 fold reduction in globin transcripts in whole blood collected from healthy volunteers and sickle-cell disease patients. This led to an improvement in microarray data quality with increased detection rate of expressed genes and improved overlap with the expression signatures of isolated peripheral blood mononuclear (PBMC) preparations. The differentially modulated genes from the globin depleted samples had a higher correlation coefficient to the 112 genes identified to be significantly altered in our previous study on sickle-cell disease using PBMC preparations. Additionally, the analysis of differences between the whole blood transcriptome and PBMC transcriptome reveals important erythrocyte genes that participate in sickle-cell pathogenesis and compensation. The combination of globin mRNA reduction after whole-blood RNA stabilization represents a robust clinical research methodology for the discovery of biomarkers for hematologic diseases and in multicenter clinical trials investigating a wide range of nonhematologic disorders where fractionation of cell types is impracticable.
