Affymetrix Porcine Genome Array (porcine)
Description
Mouse bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDM) grown in macrophage colony-stimulating factor (CSF-1) have been used widely in studies of macrophage biology and the response to toll-like receptor agonists. We investigated whether similar cells could be derived from the domestic pig. Cultivation of pig bone marrow cells for 5-7 days in presence of rhCSF-1 generated a pure population of BMDM that expressed the usual macrophage markers (CD14, CD16, CD163, CD172a), are potent phagocytic cells and produced tumor necrosis factor (TNF) in response to lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Bone marrow cells could be stored frozen and thawed, providing a renewable resource.

Description
From over 300 patients two groups were selected which had prostate tumors with either well differentiated (WD) or poorly differentiated (PD) after radical Prostatectomy. The PD group had Gleason score 8-9, seminal vesicle invasion, and poorly differentiated tumor cells; the WD group had Gleason score 6-7, no seminal vesicle invasion, and well to moderately differentiated tumor cells. LCM compatible specimens were selected from age and race (Caucasians) matched PD or WD patients with no family history of CaP. Matching normal epithelal cells were also selected for the analysis.

Description
Expression profiling of mouse ing2 -/- testis vs WT reveals gene expression differences consistent with spermatogenic arrest and infertility. Ing2 is indispensable for male germ cell development in mice. While mice deficient for Ing2 were born and grew without apparent abnormalities, male, but not female, were infertile, consistent with the highest expression of Ing2 in testes in wild-type mice and in humans. Histological and DNA content analyses in Ing2-/- testes revealed a spermatogenesis arrest at meiotic phase and enhanced apoptosis associated with increased p53, resulting in a decline in mature spermatozoa, which became more severe in older age. HDAC1 accumulation and core histone deacetylation at pachytene stage were impaired in Ing2-/- testes, suggesting that the recruitment of HDAC1 by Ing2 plays a critical role in spermatogenesis. This study establishes Ing2 as a novel mammalian regulator of spermatocyte differentiation, which coordinates spermatogenesis stage-specific histone modifications. This study has implications in understanding human male infertility.

Description
Our independent analyses using mRNA-Seq, quantitative RT-PCR, and in situ hybridization confirmed a significant up-regulation of Fezf2 in Tbr1-/- neocortex. However, analysis by immunostaining and immunoblotting revealed that SOX5 protein levels were relatively unaltered in late embryonic and neonatal Tbr1-/- cortex. This led us to the hypothesis that TBR1 regulates Fezf2 transcription via direct binding to regulatory sequences near Fezf2. To identify genome-wide TBR1 binding sites in an unbiased and hypothesis-independent manner, we analyzed TBR1-immu-noprecipitated chromatin using deep sequencing (ChIP-Seq). We tested several available anti-TBR1 antibodies and found that none was suitable for immunoprecipitating chromatin of sufficient quality for ChIP-Seq. Thus, we generated a V5-TBR1fusion construct and expressed it in N2A cells. V5-TBR1 was immunoprecipitated using an anti-V5 antibody. DNA-Seq was performed on the Illumina GAIIx platform.

Description
The hallmark of the cerebral neocortex is its organization into six distinct layers, each containing a characteristic set of neural cell types and synaptic connections. The transcriptional events involved in laminar development and function still remain elusive. Here we employed deep sequencing of mRNA and small RNA species to gain insights into transcriptional differences among layers and their temporal dynamics during postnatal development of the mouse primary somatosensory neocortex. A number of novel coding and noncoding transcripts were identified with specific spatiotemporal expression and splicing patterns across layers or time points. We also identified gene co-expression networks associated with distinct biological processes and transcriptional sharing between distinct biological processes, as well as, potential microRNA and mRNA interactions. Overall, this study provides an integrated view of the laminar and temporal expression dynamics of coding and noncoding transcripts in the mouse neocortex and a resource for future studies of neurodevelopment and transcriptome.

We employ mRNA-seq to investigate transcriptome of Pum1-Knockout, Pum2-Knockout and WT conditons Overall design: In order to investigate whether Pum1 and Pum2 regulate their targets at their RNA levels, we used 1/10 of the samples from the Pum1 and Pum2 iCLIP experiments (four biological repeats of WT, P1KO, and P2KO neonatal brains) to extract total RNAs for RNA deep sequencing. And we also collected three Ndcko neonatal brains for RNA deep sequencing.

Description
Tissue was microdissected from 13 regions, including 9 distinct neocortical areas, from both left and right sides of four late second trimester human brain specimens. Gene- and exon-level differential expression analyses were performed by mixed model, nested analysis of variance using the XRAY software from Biotique Systems.

Description
Trisomy 21 (Ts21) or Down syndrome (DS) is the most common genetic cause of intellectual disability. To investigate the consequences of Ts21 on human brain development, we have systematically analyzed the transcriptome of dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DFC) and cerebellar cortex (CBC) using exon array mapping in DS and matched euploid control brains spanning from prenatal development to adulthood. We identify hundreds of differentially expressed (DEX) genes in the DS brains, many of which exhibit temporal changes in expression over the lifespan. To gain insight into how these DEX genes may cause specific DS phenotypes, we identified functional modules of co-expressed genes using several different bioinformatics approaches, including WGCNA and gene ontology analysis. A module comprised of genes associated with myelination, including those dynamically expressed over the course of oligodendrocyte development, was amongst those with the great levels of differential gene expression. Using Ts65Dn mouse line, the most common rodent model of DS, w e observed significant and novel defects in oligodendrocyte maturation and myelin ultrastructure; establishing a correlative proof-of-principle implicating myelin dysgenesis in DS. Thus, examination of the spatio-temporal transcriptome predicts specific cellular and functional events in the DS brain and is an outstanding resource for determining putative mechanisms involved in the neuropathology of DS.

Description
A sheet of choroid plexus epithelial cells extends into each cerebral ventricle and secretes signaling factors into the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). To evaluate whether differences in the CSF proteome across ventricles arise, in part, from regional differences in choroid plexus gene expression, we defined the transcriptome of lateral ventricle (telencephalic) vs. fourth ventricle (hindbrain) choroid plexus. We find that positional identities of mouse, macaque, and human choroid plexi derive from gene expression domains that parallel their axial tissues of origin. We then show that molecular heterogeneity between telencephalic and hindbrain choroid plexi contributes to region-specific, age-dependent protein secretion in vitro. Transcriptome analysis of FACS-purified choroid plexus epithelial cells also predicts their cell type-specific secretome. Spatial domains with distinct protein expression profiles were observed within each choroid plexus. We propose that regional differences between choroid plexi contribute to dynamic signaling gradients across the mammalian cerebroventricular system. Overall design: Two-factor design with two levels per factor and n=2 biological replicates. Lateral (telencephalic) and fourth (hindbrain) choroid plexus samples are paired in that they are isolated from the same brains.
