Affymetrix Mouse Genome 430 2.0 Array (mouse4302)
Description
External stimulations of cells by hormones, growth factors or cytokines activate signal transduction pathways that subsequently induce a rearrangement of cellular gene expression. The representation and analysis of changes in the gene response is complicated, and essentially consists of multiple layered temporal responses. In such situations, matrix factorization techniques may provide efficient tools for the detailed temporal analysis. Related methods applied in bioinformatics intentionally do not take prior knowledge into account. In signal processing, factorization techniques incorporating data properties like second-order spatial and temporal structures have shown a robust performance. However, large-scale biological data rarely imply a natural order that allows the definition of an autocorrelation function. We therefore develop the concept of graph-autocorrelation. We encode prior knowledge like transcriptional regulation, protein interactions or metabolic pathways as a weighted directed graph. By linking features along this underlying graph, we introduce a partial ordering of the samples to define an autocorrelation function. Using this framework as constraint to the matrix factorization task allows us to set up the fast and robust graph decorrelation (GraDe) algorithm. To analyze the alterations in the gene response in IL-6 stimulated primary mouse hepatocytes by GraDe, a time-course microarray experiment was performed. Extracted gene expression profiles show that IL-6 activates genes involved in cell cycle progression and cell division in a time-resolved manner. On the contrary, genes linked to metabolic and apoptotic processes are down-regulated indicating that IL-6 mediated priming rendered hepatocytes more responsive towards cell proliferation and reduces expenses for the energy household.

Description
Smoking is a major risk factor for Urothelial carcinoma (UC). However the complex mechanisms, how smoking promotes carcinogenesis and tumour progression, remain obscure. A microarray based approached was therefore performed to detect the smoking derived gene expression alteration in non-malignant and malignant urothelial tissues from patients with superficial or invasive UC. Smoking enhanced cell migration and response to tissue damages. In non-malignant tissues smoking induced immune response and altered the cytoskeleton. In urothelial carcinoma, smoking altered extracellular and chromosome structures. Smoking affected tissues from patients with invasive carcinomamore strongly, up-regulating particularly growth factors and oncogenes in non-malignant tissue of patients with invasive but not with superficial carcinoma. In former smokers, comparable changes were seen in tissues form patients with invasive disease while they were minor or reversed in tissue of patients with superficial disease. Best but not complete tissue repair was suggestedfor non-malignant tissue from patients with superficial tumours.

Description
Primary mediastinal B-cell lymphoma (PMBL) and classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL) share a frequent constitutive activation of Janus-activated kinase (JAK) / signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) signaling pathway. Due to complex non-linear relations within the pathway, key dynamic properties remained to be identified to predict possible strategies for intervention. To untangle these features, we used dynamic pathway modeling that employs model development and calibration based on extensive quantitative data generation. Quantitative data were collected on JAK/STAT pathway signaling components in two lymphoma-derived cell lines, MedB-1 and L1236, representative of PMBL and cHL, respectively. We showed that the amounts of STAT5 and STAT6 are higher whereas the amount of SHP1 is lower in the two lymphoma cell lines compared to B cells from healthy donors. Distinctively, L1236 cells harbor more JAK2 and less SHP1 molecules per cell than MedB-1 or control cells. In our experimental setting interleukin-13 (IL13) stimulation levels remained constant over time. In MedB-1 cells surface IL13 receptor alpha 2 had a strong IL13-sequestering/decoy function. In both lymphoma cell lines we observed IL13-induced activation of interleukin-4 receptor alpha, JAK2 and STAT5, but not of STAT6, which was highly phosphorylated even without stimulus. Furthermore, the known STAT-inducible negative regulators CISH and SOCS3 were up-regulated within 2 hours in MedB-1 but not in L1236 cells. Global transcription profiling revealed 11 early and 16 sustained common genes up-regulated by IL13 in both lymphoma cell lines. Based on this detailed information we established two individual mathematical models, MedB-1 and L1236 model, which were able to describe the respective experimental data. Sensitivity analysis of the model identified six possible therapeutic targets able to reduce gene expression levels in L1236 cells and three in MedB-1 cells. By inhibition of STAT5 phosphorylation we successfully validated one of the predicted targets demonstrating the potential of the approach in guiding target identification for highly deregulated signaling networks in cancer cells. We established mathematical models of the JAK/STAT pathway in two lymphoma cell types (PMBL and cHL), able to reproduce experimental data and to predict possible therapeutic targets.

Description
To provide further insight to the signaling pathways deregulated by SPOP mutation and determine the relevance of these models to human prostate cancer, we performed RNA-seq on SPOP mutant organoids and controls. RNA-seq reads mapped to human and mouse SPOP confirmed appropriate expression of the F133V transgenic transcript without overexpression compared to endogenous mouse Spop. Quantification of gene expression was performed via RSEQtools using GENCODE as reference gene–annotation set. Both SPOPmut and SPOPwt were done in the same run. S0 was done in first run; S1 and S2 were done in second run. S3, S4 and S5 were done in third run. S5mut and S5wt were excluded from differentially expressed genes analysis, due to the different mouse line. Overall design: Differentially expressed genes between mouse SPOPmut organoids and control by RNA-seq.

Description
substantial number of people at risk to develop type 2 diabetes could not improve insulin sensitivity by physical training intervention. We studied the mechanisms of this impaired exercise response in 20 middle-aged individuals who performed a controlled eight weeks cycling and walking training at 80 % individual VO2max. Participants identified as non-responders in insulin sensitivity (based on Matsuda index) did not differ in pre-intervention parameters compared to high responders. The failure to increase insulin sensitivity after training correlates with impaired up-regulation of mitochondrial fuel oxidation genes in skeletal muscle, and with the suppression of the upstream regulators PGC1 and AMPK2. The muscle transcriptome of the non-responders is further characterized by an activation of TGF and TGF target genes, which is associated with increases in inflammatory and macrophage markers. TGF1 as inhibitor of mitochondrial regulators and insulin signaling is validated in human skeletal muscle cells. Activated TGF1 signaling down-regulates the abundance of PGC1, AMPK2, mitochondrial transcription factor TFAM, and of mitochondrial enzymes. Thus, increased TGF activity in skeletal muscle can attenuate the improvement of mitochondrial fuel oxidation after training and contribute to the failure to increase insulin sensitivity.

Description
Down syndrome (trisomy 21) is the most common viable chromosomal disorder with intellectual impairment and several other developmental abnormalities. Here, we report the generation and characterization of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) derived from monozygotic twins discordant for trisomy 21 in order to eliminate the effects of the variability of genomic background. The alterations observed by genetic analysis at the iPSC level and at first approximation in early development illustrate the developmental disease transcriptional signature of Down syndrome. Moreover, we observed an abnormal neural differentiation of Down syndrome iPSCs in vivo when formed teratoma in NOD-SCID mice, and in vitro when differentiated into neuroprogenitors and neurons. These defects were associated with changes in the architecture and density of neurons, astroglial and oligodendroglial cells together with misexpression of genes involved in neurogenesis, lineage specification and differentiation. Furthermore, we provide novel evidence that dual-specificity tyrosine-(Y)-phosphorylation regulated kinase 1A (DYRK1A) on chromosome 21 likely contribute to these defects. Importantly, we found that targeting DYRK1A pharmacologically or by shRNA results in a considerable correction of these defects. Overall design: mRNA-seq profiling of iPS cells (4 euploid and 3 trisomy 21) derived from fibroblasts of monozygotic twins discordant for trisomy 21
