Description
In the developing heart, heterotypic transcription factors (TFs) interactions, such as between the T-box TF TBX5 and the homeodomain TF NKX2-5 have been proposed as a mechanism for human congenital heart disease. In order to study the role of each TF during heart formation, embryonic stem (ES) cell-derived embryos were generated from KO ES cells for Tbx5, Nkx2-5 or both TFs.

Illumina Genome Analyzer IIx
Description
We attempted to identify alterations in gene expression that occur during the progression from normal breast to ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) with the aim to elucidate significant genes and pathways underlying the premalignant transformation. To determine the expression changes that are common to multiple DCIS models (MCF10.DCIS, SUM102 and SUM225) and normal mammary epithelial cells (MCF10A), we grew the cells in three dimensional overlay culture with reconstituted basement membrane and used the extracted RNA for 76 cycles of deep sequencing (mRNA-Seq) using Illumina Genome Analyzer GAIIx. Analysis of mRNA-Seq results showed 295 consistently differentially expressed transcripts in DCIS models as compared to MCF10A. These differentially expressed genes are associated with a number of signaling pathways such as integrin, fibroblast growth factor and TGFß signaling. Many differentially expressed transcripts in DCIS were found to be involved in cell-cell signaling, cell-cell adhesion and cell proliferation. We further investigated ALDH5A1 gene that encodes for the enzyme, aldehyde dehydrogenase 5A1, which is involved in glutamate metabolism. Further, inhibition of ALDH5A1 with different pharmacological drugs resulted in significant inhibition of cell growth and proliferation in the DCIS models. Overall design: Four cell lines examined: normal mammary epithelial cell line (one sample) and three ductal carcinoma in situ cell lines (three samples). Each sample has two duplicates

Description
Using a mouse model overexpressing human SNCA and profiling the hippocampal transcriptome, we assessed gene-environment interactions to reveal perturbations in gene expression and their modulation through long-term enriched environment (EE) exposure. We observed that EE prevented perturbations of genes attributed to neuronal and glial cell types and linked to glutamate signaling, calcium homeostasis, inflammation, and related processes of SNCA biology. Cluster and promoter analyses suggested driver genes that specifically responded to the EE, and pointed to a pivotal role of Egr1 to have hierarchically activated other drivers. We suggest a model in which EE-induced driver genes prevent and counter-balance perturbations of SNCA overexpression, restoring a largely normalized gene expression profile and system state. Overall design: Using a 2x2 factorial design, we cross-compared a line of transgenic mice overexpressing human SNCA with wildtype animals, and the effects of a long-term EE with standard housing conditions. Employing RNA-seq, we profiled gene expression in the hippocampus of 12-month-old female animals.

Description
Objective: identify novel and relevant aspects of Sorafenib action on liver cancer cells. We found that in rat hepatocholangiocarcinoma (LCSC-2) cells, exposure to the MEK/multikinase inhibitor sorafenib did not inhibit ERK phosphorylation nor induced appreciable cell death in the low micromolar range; instead, the drug elicited a raise of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) accompanied by a severe decrease of oxygen consumption and intracellular ATP levels, all changes consistent with mitochondrial damage. Moreover, Sorafenib induced depolarization of isolated rat liver mitochondria, indicating a possible direct effect on the organelle. Microarray analysis of gene expression in sorafenib-trated cells revealed a metabolic reprogramming toward aerobic glycolysis, that likely accounts for resitance to drug toxicity in this cell line. Importantly, cytotoxicity was strongly potentiated by glucose withdrawal from the culture medium or by the glycolytic inhibitor 2-deoxy-glucose, a finding also confirmed in the highly malignant melanoma cell line B16F10. Mechanistic studies revealed that ROS are pivotal to cell killing by the Sorafenib + 2DG combination, and that a low content of intracellular oxidants is associated with resistance to the drug; instead, Thr172phosphorylation/activation of the AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), induced by Sorafenib, may exert protective effects, since cytotoxicity was enhanced by an AMPK specific inhibitor and prevented by the AMPK activator Metformin. Overall, this study identifies novel and relevant aspects of Sorafenib action on liver cancer cells, including mitochondrial damage, induction of ROS and a metabolic cell reprogramming towards glucose addiction, potentially exploitable in therapy.

Description
We addressed the clinical significance and mechanisms behind in vitro cellular responses to ionising radiation (IR)-induced DNA double strand breaks in 74 paediatric ALL patients. We found an apoptosis-resistant response in 36% of patients and an apoptosis-sensitive response in the remaining 64% of leukaemias. Global gene expression profiling of 11 apoptosis-resistant and 11 apoptosis-sensitive ALLs revealed abnormal up-regulation of multiple pro-survival pathways in response to IR in apoptosis-resistant leukaemias and differential post-transcriptional activation of the PI3-Akt pathway was observed in representative resistant cases. It is possible that abnormal pro-survival responses to DNA damage provide one of the mechanisms of primary resistance in ALL .

Description
The ability to generate defined null mutations in mice revolutionized the analysis of gene function in mammals. However, gene-deficient mice generated by using 129-derived embryonic stem (ES) cells may carry large segments of 129 DNA, even when extensively backcrossed to reference strains, such as C57BL/6J, and this may confound interpretation of experiments performed in these mice. Tissue plasminogen activator (tPA), encoded by the PLAT gene, is a fibrinolytic serine protease that is widely expressed in the brain. A large number of neurological abnormalities have been reported in tPA-deficient mice. The studies here compare genes differentially expressed in the brains of Plat-/- mice from two independent Plat-/- mouse derivations to wild-type C57BL/6J mice. One strain denoted “Old” was constructed in ES cells from a 129 mouse and backcrossed extensively to C57BL/6J, and one denoted “New” Plat-/- mouse was constructed using zinc finger nucleases directly in the C57BL/6J-Plat-/- mouse strain. We identify a significant set of genes that are differentially expressed in the brains of Old Plat-/- mice that preferentially cluster in the vicinity of Plat on chromosome 8, apparently linked to more than 20 Mbp of DNA flanking Plat being of 129 origin. No such clustering is seen in the New Plat-/- mice. Overall design: Whole-transcriptome profiling of the cerebral cortex of wild-type control C57BL/6J mice and two independent Plat-/- mice strains on the C57BL/6J background.
