Affymetrix Rat Genome 230 2.0 Array (rat2302)
Description
The objective of the study was to better understand the mechanism behind scar formation by identifying ECM factors and other unique genes differentially expressed during rat ligament healing via microarray. Rat medial collateral ligaments (MCL) were surgically transected or left intact. MCLs were collected at day 3 or 7 post-injury and used for microarray analysis. Results were compared to the normal intact ligaments.
Publication Title
Gene profiling of the rat medial collateral ligament during early healing using microarray analysis.

Description
Disruption of local iron homeostasis is a common feature of neurodegenerative diseases. We focused on dopaminergic neurons, asking how iron transport proteins modulate iron homeostasis in vivo. Inactivation of the transmembrane iron exporter ferroportin had no apparent consequences. However, loss of the transferrin receptor 1, involved in iron uptake, caused profound, age-progressive neurodegeneration with features similar to Parkinsons disease. There was gradual loss of dopaminergic projections in the striatum with subsequent death of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra. After depletion of 30% of the neurons the mice developed neurobehavioral parkinsonism, with evidence of mitochondrial dysfunction and impaired mitochondrial autophagy. Molecular analysis revealed strong signatures indicative of attempted axonal regeneration, a metabolic switch to glycolysis and the unfolded protein response. We speculate that cellular iron deficiency may contribute to neurodegeneration in human patients

Description
Introduction: In the recently completed Dutch GLUCOLD study, treatment of COPD patients with fluticasone salmeterol reduced the rate of decline in FEV1. These results indicate that ICS can have therapeutic efficacy in COPD. Aim: To explore the molecular mechanisms by which ICS exert their effects, we performed genome-wide gene expression profiling on bronchial biopsies from COPD patients who participated in the GLUCOLD study. Methods: An Affymetrix Human Gene Array ST version 1.0 was performed in a total of 221 bronchial biopsies that were available from 90 COPD patients at baseline and after 6 and 30 months of therapy. Linear mixed effects modeling was used to analyze treatment-specific changes in gene expression. A validation set was included and pathway analysis was performed with Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA). Results: The expression of 138 genes significantly decreased after both 6 and 30 months of treatment with fluticasone salmeterol versus placebo, whereas the expression of 140 genes increased. A more pronounced treatment-induced change in expression of 51 of these 278 genes was associated with a slower rate of decline in FEV1. Genes that decreased with treatment were involved in pathways related to cell cycle, oxidative phosphorylation, epithelial cell signaling, p53 signaling and T cell signaling. Genes that increased with treatment were involved in pathways related to focal adhesion, gap junction and extracellular matrix deposition. Conclusion: The present study suggests that gene expression in biological pathways of COPD is dynamic with treatment and reflects disease activity. This study opens the gate to targeted and phenotype-driven therapy of COPD.

Illumina HiSeq 2500
Description
we used technique that allows the molecular characterization of particular neuronal subpopulations based on their neuroanatomical projections and the locations of their cell bodies. This 'retro-TRAP' (translating ribosome affinity purification from retrogradely labeled neurons) approach relies on viral injection into an anatomical area targeted by the neurons of interest, followed by selective precipitation of ribosomes from retrogradely labeled cell bodies, and subsequent RNAseq analysis. Overall design: By comparing the mRNAs enriched in the NGC neurons which are retrogradely labeled due to viral injection into central thalamus, to gene expression of non-labeled surrounding cells in NGC, and then performing a comprehensive bioinformatics analysis of these results, we were able to identify genes enriched in these cells. This procedure allowed us to highlight genes and pathways unique to these neurons with projections ascending to thalamus, as compared to other cells in reticular NucleusGigantocellularis.

Description
Ebf genes regulate differentiation of several cell type. Ebf2 is expressed in Schwann cells and Ebf2-/- mice show among other phenotypical abnormalities a delay in the onset of myelination associated to a decreased expression of genes regulating myelination. In addition at one month of age Ebf2-/- mice show decreased motor conduction velocity and morphological alteration in sciatic nerves. Ebf2 target genes are unknown. To identify Ebf2 target genes with a role in myelination, we compared the expression profiles of sciatic nerves isolated from P2 Wt and Ebf2-/- mice by microarray analysis.

Description
The link between upper and lower airways in patients with both asthma and allergic rhinitis is still poorly understood. As the biological complexity of these disorders can be captured by gene expression profiling we hypothesized that the clinical expression of rhinitis and/or asthma is related to differential gene expression between upper and lower airways epithelium.

Affymetrix C. elegans Genome Array (celegans)
Description
When C. elegans larvae hatch in the absence of food they persist in a stress resistant, developmentally arrested state (L1 arrest). We characterized mRNA expression genome-wide in a pair of bifurcating time series starting in the late embryo and proceeding through the hatch in the presence and absence of food (E. coli).
