Affymetrix Mouse Genome 430 2.0 Array (mouse4302)
Description
Alpha-synuclein is an abundant protein implicated in synaptic function and plasticity, but the molecular mechanism of its action is not understood. Missense mutations and gene duplication/triplication events result in Parkinson's disease, a neurodegenerative disorder of old age with impaired movement and emotion control. Here, we systematically investigated the striatal as well as the cerebellar transcriptome profile of alpha-synuclein-deficient mice via a genome-wide microarray survey in order to gain hypothesis-free molecular insights into the physiological function of alpha-synuclein. A genotype-dependent, specific and strong downregulation of forkhead box P1 (Foxp1) transcript levels was observed in all brain regions from postnatal age until old age and could be validated by qPCR. In view of the co-localization and heterodimer formation of FOXP1 with FOXP2, a transcription factor with a well established role for vocalization, and the reported regulation of both alpha-synuclein and FOXP2 expression during avian song learning, we performed a detailed assessment of mouse movements and vocalizations in the postnatal period. While there was no difference in isolation-induced behavioral activity in these animals, the alpha-synuclein-deficient mice exhibited an increased production of isolation-induced ultrasonic vocalizations (USVs). This phenotype might also reflect the reduced expression of the anxiety-related GABA-A receptor subunit gamma 2 (Gabrg2) we observed. Taken together, we identified an early behavioral consequence of alpha-synuclein deficiency and accompanying molecular changes, which supports the notion that the neural connectivity of sound or emotion control systems is affected.

Description
Rationale: The fibrosing idiopathic interstitial pneumonias (IIPs) are classified based on clinical, radiographic, and pathologic criteria. The separation into phenotypic subgroups is useful in predicting outcome and therapeutic strategy; however a large degree of ambiguity remains. Gene expression profiling may contribute to traditional criteria in IIPs by characterizing the dynamic biology that more accurately distinguishes subtypes of these diseases or their prognoses.

Description
To gain global insights into the role of the well-known repressive splicing regulator PTB we analyzed the consequences of PTB knockdown in HeLa cells using high-density oliogonucleotide splice-sensitive microarrays. The major class of identified PTB-regulated splicing event was PTB-repressed cassette exons, but there was also a substantial number of PTB-activated splicing events. PTB repressed and activated exons showed a distinct arrangement of motifs with pyrimidine-rich motif enrichment within and upstream of repressed exons, but downstream of activated exons. The N-terminal half of PTB was sufficient to activate splicing when recruited downstream of a PTB-activated exon. Moreover, insertion of an upstream pyrimidine tract was sufficient to convert a PTBactivated to a PTB-repressed exon. Our results demonstrate that PTB, an archetypal splicing repressor, has variable splicing activity that predictably depends upon its binding location with respect to target exons.

Affymetrix Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 Array (hgu133plus2)
Description
The beneficial effects of glucocorticoids (GCs) in acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) are based on their ability to induce apoptosis. Omics technologies such as DNA microarray analysis are widely used to study the changes in gene expression and have been successfully implemented in biomarker identification. In addition, time series studies of gene expression enable the identification of correlations between kinetic profiles of glucocorticoid receptor (GR) target genes and diverse modes of transcriptional regulation. This study presents a genome-wide microarray analysis of both our and published Affymetrix HG-U133 Plus 2.0 data in GCs-sensitive and -resistant ALL. GCs-sensitive CCRF-CEM-C7-14 cells were treated with dexamethasone at three time points (0 h, 2 h and 10 h). The treated samples were then compared to the control (0 h).
