Description
Based on the results of numerous clinical and preclinical analyses, the transcription factor HIF-1a has been identified as an important tumor-promoting factor and is considered to be an attractive target for cancer therapy. To further deconstruct the molecular nature of HIF-1as role in tumorigenesis, we have applied lentiviral shRNA transduction to establish HIF-1a-deficient gastric cancer cells. Interestingly, functional analyses failed to show a significant growth defect of HIF-1a-deficient gastric cancer cells in vitro and in vivo. These observations led us to propose that stable inactivation of HIF-1a resulted in efficient compensation enabling cell growth and, ultimately, tumor progression in a HIF-1a-independent manner. To better understand the mechanisms that control this compensation, we performed transcriptomics of control (scrambled (SCR)) and HIF-1a-deficient (HIF) gastric cancer cells.

Description
Neuroendocrine (NE) cells use large dense core vesicles (LDCVs) to traffic, process, store and secrete neuropeptide hormones through the regulated secretory pathway. The DIMM basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor of Drosophila controls the level of regulated secretory activity in NE cells. To pursue its mechanisms, we have performed two independent genome-wide analyses of DIMM's activities: (i) in vivo chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) to define genomic sites of DIMM occupancy and (ii) deep sequencing of purified DIMM neurons to characterize their transcriptional profile. By this combined approach, we showed that DIMM binds to conserved E-boxes in enhancers of 212 genes whose expression is enriched in DIMM-expressing NE cells. DIMM binds preferentially to certain E-boxes within first introns of specific gene isoforms. Statistical machine learning revealed that flanking regions of putative DIMM binding sites contribute to its DNA binding specificity. DIMM's transcriptional repertoire features at least 20 LDCV constituents. In addition, DIMM notably targets the pro-secretory transcription factor, CREB-A, but significantly, DIMM does not target any neuropeptide genes. DIMM therefore prescribes the scale of secretory activity in NE neurons, by a systematic control of the regulated secretory pathway at steps that are both proximal and distal.

Description
Employing microarray assays, a total of 267 genes were identified that were significantly up- or downregulated in PBMCs of WT-NOD2 patients, compared to healthy donors after challenge with vitamin D (+/-D) and/or a combination (+/-LP) of LPS (lipopolysaccharide) and PGN (peptidoglycan) (p < 0.05; threshold: 2-fold change). For further analysis by real-time PCR, 12 genes with known impact on inflammation and immunity were selected that fulfilled predefined expression criteria. In a larger cohort of patients and controls, a disease-associated expression pattern, with higher transcript levels in vitamin D-treated PBMCs from 5 patients, was observed for three of these genes, CLEC5A (p < 0.030), lysozyme (LYZ; p < 0.047) and TREM1 (p < 0.023). Six genes were found to be expressed in a NOD2- dependent manner (CD101, p < 0.002; CLEC5A, p < 0.020; CXCL5, p < 0.009; IL-24, p < 0.044; ITGB2, p < 0.041; LYZ, p < 0.042). Interestingly, the highest transcript levels were observed in patients with heterozygous NOD2 mutations.

Background and Aims: Analysis of aging-induced impairments in satellite cells (SCs) – the stem cells of skeletal muscle that are required for its regeneration. Hox genes are known to control stem cell function and development of various tissues. Overall design: Hindlimb muscles from young adult (3-4 months) and old (22-28 months) C57BL/6J mice were injured by BaCl2 injection in order to induce satellite cell activation. Satellite cells were isolated 3 days after injury and gene expression was analyzed.

Description
Adaptation of C. elegans to hypertonic environments involves the accumulation of the organic osmolyte glycerol via transcriptional upregulation of the glycerol biosynthestic enzyme gpdh-1. A number of mutants, termed osmotic stress resistant (osr) mutants, have been identified. osr mutants cause constitutive upregulation of gpdh-1 and confer extreme resistance to hypertonicity. We tested the hypothesis that osr mutants broadly activate a gene expression program normally activated by osmotic stress in wild type animals using Affymterix microarray analysis of the hypertonic stress response in wild type animals and of constituitive gene expression changes in five osr mutants.

Description
Insulators are DNA elements, which prevent inappropriate interactions between the neighboring regions of the genome. They can be functionally classified as either enhancer blockers or domain barriers. CTCF (CCCTC binding factor) is the only known major insulator binding protein in the vertebrates and has been shown to bind many enhancer-blocking elements. However, it is not clear whether it plays a role in chromatin domain barriers between active and repressive domains. Here, we used ChIP-Seq to map the genome-wide binding sites of CTCF in three cell types and identified significant binding of CTCF to the boundaries of repressive chromatin domains marked by H3K27me3. Although we find an extensive overlapping of CTCF binding sites across the three cell types, its association with the domain boundaries is cell type-specific. We further show that the nucleosomes flanking CTCF binding sites are well positioned and associated with histone H2AK5 acetylation (H2AK5ac). Interestingly, we found a complementary pattern between the repressive H3K27me3 and the active H2AK5ac regions, which are separated by CTCF. Our findings indicate that CTCF may play important roles in the barrier activity of insulators and provide a resource for further investigation of the CTCF function in organizing chromatin in the human genome.

Description
Background: Information on the carcinogenic potential of chemicals is only availably for High Production Volume products. There is however, a pressing need for alternative methods allowing for the chronic toxicity of substances, including carcinogenicity, to be detected earlier and more reliably. Here we applied advanced genomics to a cellular transformation assay to identify gene signatures useful for the prediction of risk for carcinogenicity. Methods: Genome wide gene expression analysis and qRT-PCR were applied to untransformed and transformed Balb/c 3T3 cells that exposed to 2, 4-diaminotoluene (DAT), benzo(a)pyrene (BaP), 2-Acetylaminoflourene (AAF) and 3-methycholanthrene (MCA) for 24h and 120h, at different concentrations, respectively. Furthermore, various bioinformatics tools were used to identify gene signatures predicting for the carcinogenic risk. Results: Bioinformatics analysis revealed distinct datasets for the individual chemicals tested while the number of significantly regulated genes increased with ascending treatment concentration of the cell cultures. Filtering of the data revealed a common gene signature that comprised of 13 genes whose regulation in cancer tissue has already been established. Strikingly, this gene signature was already identified prior to cell transformation therefore confirming the predictive power of this gene signature in identifying carcinogenic risks of chemicals. Comparison of fold changes determined by microarray analysis and qRT-PCR were in good agreement. Conclusion: Our data describes selective and commonly regulated carcinogenic pathways observed in an easy to use in vitro carcinogenicity assay. Here we defined a set of genes which can serve as a simply assay to predict the risk for carcinogenicity by use of an alternative in vitro testing strategy.
