Affymetrix Human Gene 1.0 ST Array (hugene10st)
Description
Caspases are cysteine-proteases with key roles in the execution phase of apoptosis. Additional cellular activities, unrelated to cell death seem to be influenced by these enzymes. Identification of genes co-regulated with caspases could help to ascertain new biological roles for these proteases.To identify genes and pathways under the influence of caspase-2 we silenced its expression in U87MG glioblastoma cell line. Transcriptional expression profiles of cells transfected with caspase-2 siRNA or control siRNA were compared.

Description
The regulation of necrotic death and its relevance in anti-cancer therapy are largely unknown. Here we have investigated the pro-apoptotic and pro-necrotic activities of two ubiquitin-proteasome system inhibitors (UPSIs): bortezomib and G5. The present study points out that the glioblastoma cell lines U87MG and T98G are useful models to study the susceptibility to apoptosis and necrosis in response to UPSIs. U87MG cells are resistant to apoptosis induced by bortezomib and G5 but susceptible to necrosis induced by G5. On the opposite T98G cells are susceptible to apoptosis induced by both inhibitors but show some resistance to G5-induced necrosis. By comparing the transcriptional profiles of the two cell lines, we have found that the resistance to G5-induced necrosis could arise from differences in glutathione synthesis/utilization and in the microenvironment. In particular collagen IV, which is highly expressed in T98G cells, and fibronectin, whose adhesive function is counteracted by tenascin-C in U87MG cells, can restrain the necrotic response to G5. Collectively, our results provide an initial characterization of the molecular signals governing cell death by necrosis in glioblastoma cell lines.

Description
DAP12 is a transmembrane protein, expressed as a disulfide-bonded homodimer and bears an immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif (ITAM). DAP12 is broadly expressed in hematopoietic cells and associates with a variety of cell surface receptors in lymphoid and myeloid cells. Macrophages express several DAP12-associated receptors including triggering receptors expressed by myeloid cells (TREM)-1,2 and 3, myeloid DAP12-associating lectin (MDL)-1, CD200R like proteins CD200R3/R4 and CD300C/D/E .

Essential role of DAP12 signaling in macrophage programming into a fusion-competent state.

Description
Previous results from a genome scan in a F2 Iberian by Meishan intercross showed several chromosome regions associated with litter size traits. In order to identify candidate genes underlying these QTL we have performed an ovary gene expression analysis during pregnancy. F2 sows were ranked by their estimated breeding values for prolificacy, the six sows with higher EBV (HIGH prolificacy) and the six with lower EBV (LOW prolificacy) were selected. Samples were hybridized to Affymetrix porcine expression microarrays. The statistical analysis with a mixed-model approach identified 221 differentially expressed probes, representing 189 genes. These genes were functionally annotated in order to identify the genetic pathways overrepresented. Among the most represented functional groups the first one was immune system response activation against external stimulus. The second group was made up of genes which regulate the maternal homeostasis by complement and coagulation cascades. The last group was involved on lipid and fatty acid enzymes of metabolic processes, which participate in steroidogenesis pathway. In order to identify powerful candidate genes for prolificacy, the second approach of this study was merging microarray data with position information of QTL affecting litter size, previously detected in the same experimental cross. According to this, we have identified 27 differentially expressed genes co-localized with QTL for litter size traits, which fulfill the biological, positional and functional criteria.

Description
Understanding Natural Killer (NK) cell anatomical distribution is key to dissect the role of these unconventional lymphocytes in physiological and disease conditions. In mouse, NK cells have been detected in various lymphoid and non-lymphoid organs, while in humans the current knowledge of NK cell distribution at steady state is mainly restricted to lymphoid tissues. The translation to humans of findings obtained in mice is facilitated by the identification of NK cell markers conserved between these two species. The Natural Cytotoxicity Receptor (NCR) NKp46 is a marker of the NK cell lineage evolutionary conserved in mammals. In mice, NKp46 is also present on rare T cell subsets and on a subset of gut Innate Lymphoid Cells (ILCs) expressing the retinoic acid receptor-related orphan receptor gammat (RORgammat) transcription factor. Here, we documented the distribution and the phenotype of human NKp46+ cells in lymphoid and non-lymphoid tissues isolated from healthy donors. Human NKp46+ cells were found in splenic red pulp, in lymph nodes, in lungs and gut lamina propria, thus mirroring mouse NKp46+ cell distribution. We identified a novel cell subset of CD56dimNKp46low cells that includes RORgammat+ILCs with a lineage-CD94-CD117brightCD127bright phenotype.We also included data regarding the genome-wide transcriptional profiles of human healthy colonic NK cells and RORgammat+ILCs.The use of NKp46 thus contributes to establish the basis for analyzing quantitative and qualitative changes of NK cell and ILC subsets in human diseases.

Description
A prospective study was conducted in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit of the University Children's hospital between September 1, 2008 and November 30, 2010. The entry criteria were (1) preterm birth below 32 weeks gestational age, (2) birthweight<1500g (VLBW). During the follow-up period, bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) was diagnosed in 68 (61%) infants, including 40 (36%) children with mild disease, 13 (12%) with moderate and 15 (13%) with severe BPD. Forty-three babies served as a control group (no BPD).
