Affymetrix Mouse Genome 430 2.0 Array (mouse4302)
Description
Background: Preterm birth is the leading cause of all infant mortality. In 2004, 12.5% of all births were preterm. In order to understand preterm labor, we must first understand normal labor. Since many of the myometrial changes that occur during pregnancy are similar in mice and humans and mouse gestation is short, we have studied the uterine genes that change in the mouse during pregnancy. Here, we used microarray analysis to identify uterine genes in the gravid mouse that are differentially regulated in the cyclooxygenase-1 knockout mouse model of delayed parturition.

Description
Through RNA sequencing and gene ontology analyses, we report that immune activation is elicited in the spleen of 4 HIV-1-infected humanized mice when compared to 4 mock-infected humanized mice. Overall design: mRNA expression profiles in the splenic human mononuclear cells of HIV-1-infected humanized mice at 6 weeks post-infection (n=4) and mock-infected humanized mice (n=4) were generated by RNA sequencing. RNA was extracted using QIAamp RNA Blood Mini kit (Qiagen). RNA sequencing was conducted in Medical & Biological Laboratories, co (Nagoya, Japan).

Description
We compared gene expression profiles of a human CD4+ T-cell line 24 h after infection with a cell line of the same origin permanently releasing SIVmac251/32H. A new knowledge-based-network approach (Inter-Chain-Finder) was used to identify subnetworks leading to resistance to SIV-induced cell death. Notably, the method can identify not only differentially-expressed key hub genes but also non-differentially expressed, critical, hidden regulators.

Description
Silicosis, a fibrotic granulomatous lung disease, may occur through accidental high-dose or occupational inhalation of silica, leading to acute/accelerated and chronic silicosis, respectively. While chronic silicosis has a long asymptomatic latency, lung inflammation and apoptosis are hallmarks of acute silicosis. In animal models, histiocytic granulomas develop within days after high-dose intratracheal silica instillation. However, following chronic inhalation of occupationally relevant doses of silica, discrete granulomas resembling human silicosis arise months after the final exposure without significant lung inflammation/apoptosis. To identify molecular events associated with chronic silicosis, lung RNAs from controls or chronically silica-exposed rats were analyzed by Affymetrix at 28 wk after silica exposures. Results suggested a significant upregulation of 144 genes and downregulation of seven genes. The upregulated genes included complement cascade, chemokines/chemokine receptors, G-protein signaling components, metalloproteases, and genes associated with oxidative stress. To examine the kinetics of gene expression relevant to silicosis, qPCR, ELISA, Luminex-bead assays, Western blotting, and/or zymography were performed on lung tissues from 4 d, 28 wk, and intermediate times after chronic silica exposure and compared with 14 d acute silicosis samples. Results indicated that genes regulating fibrosis (secreted phosphoprotein-1, CCL2, and CCL7), redox enzymes (superoxide dismutase-2 and arginase-1), and the enzymatic activities of matrix metalloproteinases 2 and 9 were upregulated in acute and chronic silicosis; however, proinflammatory cytokines were strongly upregulated only in acute silicosis. Thus, inflammatory cytokines are associated with acute but not chronic silicosis; however, genes regulating fibrosis, oxidative stress, and metalloproteases may contribute to both acute and chronic silicosis.

Description
IKB Kinase beta (IKKB), a key component of the NFKB signalling pathway plays an important role in inflammation and cancer. Here we describe a previously unknown role of the IKK/FoxO3a axis in bone metastasis. We found that IKK was highly expressed in invasive human breast tumours and that levels of expression were elevated in bone metastasis. Overexpression of IKK in parental and bone-tropic human breast cancer cell-lines increased tumour volume, worsened cachexia, promoted osteolysis and increased mortality in adult mice whereas pharmacological inhibition and knockdown of IKK were inhibitory. Inhibition of IKK in breast cancer cell lines and bone cells stimulated bone formation and reduced tumour growth by a mechanism that was mediated in part, by cytoplasmic sequestering of FoxO3a independently of NFKB inhibition. We conclude that IK contributes significantly to the regulation of tumour growth and osteolysis in breast cancer by NFKB dependent and independent mechanisms.

Description
Intravesical BCG Immunotherapy is the standard of care in treating non-muscle invasive bladder cancer, yet its mechanism of action remains elusive. Both innate and adaptive immune responses have been implicated in BCG activity. While prior research has indirectly demonstrated the importance of T cells and shown a rise in CD4+ T cells in bladder tissue after BCG, T cell subpopulations have not been fully characterized. We investigated the relationship between effector and regulatory T cells in an immune competent, clinically relevant rodent model of bladder cancer. Our data demonstrate that cancer progression in the MNU rat model of bladder cancer is characterized by a decline in the CD8/FoxP3 ratio, consistent with decreased adaptive immunity. By contrast, treatment with intravesical BCG leads to a large, transient rise in the CD4+ T cell population in the urothelium, and is both more effective and immunogenic compared to intravesical chemotherapy. Interestingly, whole transcriptome expression profiling of post-treatment intravesical CD4+ and CD8+ T cells revealed minimal differences in gene expression after BCG treatment. Together, our results suggest that while BCG induces T cell recruitment to the bladder, the T cell phenotype does not markedly change, implying that combining T cell activating agents with BCG might improve clinical activity.
