Affymetrix Mouse Genome 430 2.0 Array (mouse4302)
Description
Tgif1 is a transcriptional corepressor that limits TGF responsive gene expression. TGF signaling has antiproliferative effects in several cell types, generally resulting in a G1 arrest. Mouse embryo fibroblasts (MEFs) are primary cells with limited life-span, that senesce after several passages in culture.
Publication Title

Description
The Runx genes are important in development and cancer, where they can act either as oncogenes or tumour supressors. We compared the effects of ectopic Runx expression in established fibroblasts, where all three genes produce an indistinguishable phenotype entailing epithelioid morphology and increased cell survival under stress conditions. Gene array analysis revealed a strongly overlapping transcriptional signature, with no examples of opposing regulation of the same target gene. A common set of 50 highly regulated genes was identified after further filtering on regulation by inducible RUNX1-ER. This set revealed a strong bias toward genes with annotated roles in cancer and development, and a preponderance of targets encoding extracellular or surface proteins reflecting the marked effects of Runx on cell adhesion.

Description
We report the differences in gene expression between wild type and Tgif1;Tgif2 double null mouse embryos at approximately 9.0 days after fertilization. Overall design: Stage matched individual mouse embryos at approximately 9.0 days after fertilization (~9-10 somites) were analyzed by RNA-seq. We analyzed four wild type embryos and eight conditional double mutant embryos, lacking both alleles of Tgif1 and both Tgif2 alleles.

Description
In this study we demonstrate that Tgif1 has a role in HSCs maintenance, self-renewal and quiescence. RNA sequencing data of LSK cells (HSCs enriched cell population) from Tgif1-/- and wild type mice implicates that multiple pathways involved in HSC quiescence and self-renewal are disturbed in Tgif1 deficient mice. Overall design: RNA expression profiles of wild type (WT) and Tgif1-/- LSK cells were generated by RNA sequencing, in triplicate, using Illumina HiSeq 2000.

Description
Purpose: The phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) pathway is fundamental for cell proliferation and survival and is frequently altered and activated in neoplasia, including carcinomas of the lung. In this study we investigated the potential of targeting the catalytic class IA PI3K isoforms in small cell lung cancer (SCLC), which is the most aggressive of all lung cancer types. Experimental Design: The expression of PI3K isoforms in patient specimens was analyzed. The effects on SCLC cell survival and downstream signaling were determined following PI3K isoform inhibition by selective inhibitors or down-regulation by small interfering RNA. Results: Over-expression of the PI3K isoforms p110 and p110 was shown by immunohistochemistry in primary SCLC tissue samples. Targeting the PI3K p110 with RNA interference (RNAi) or selective pharmacological inhibitors resulted in strongly affected cell proliferation of SCLC cells in vitro and in vivo, while targeting p110 was less effective. Inhibition of p110 also resulted in increased apoptosis and autophagy, which was accompanied by decreased phosphorylation of Akt and components of the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway, such as the ribosomal S6 protein, and the eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E-binding protein 1 (4E-BP1). A DNA microarray analysis revealed that p110 inhibition profoundly affected the balance of pro- and anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 family proteins. Finally, p110 inhibition led to impaired SCLC tumor formation and vascularization in vivo. Conclusion: Together our data demonstrate the key involvement of the PI3K isoform p110 in multiple tumor-promoting processes in SCLC.

Description
Engineering of genetically encoded calcium indicators predominantly focused on optimizing fluorescence changes, but effects of indicator expression on host organisms have largely not been addressed. Here, we report biocompatibility and wide-spread functional expression of the genetically encoded calcium indicator TN-XXL in a transgenic mouse model. To validate the model and to characterize potential effects of indicator expression we assessed both indicator function and a variety of host parameters such as anatomy, physiology, behavior and gene expression profiles in these mice. We also demonstrate the usefulness of primary cell types and organ explants prepared from these mice for imaging applications. While we do find mild signatures of indicator expression that may guide further indicator development the green indicator mice generated provide a well characterized resource of primary cells and tissues for in vitro and in vivo calcium imaging applications.

Description
Splenic marginal zone lymphoma (SMZL) is an indolent B-cell lymphoproliferative disorder characterised by 7q32 deletion, but the target genes of this deletion remain unknown. In order to elucidate the genetic target of this deletion, we performed an integrative analysis of the genetic, epigenetic, transcriptomic and miRNomic data. High resolution array comparative genomic hybridization of 56 cases of SMZL delineated a minimally deleted region (2.8Mb) at 7q32, but showed no evidence of any cryptic homozygous deletion or recurrent breakpoint in this region. Integrative transcriptomic analysis confirmed significant under-expression of a number of genes in this region in cases of SMZL with deletion, several of which showed hypermethylation. In addition, a cluster of 8 miRNA in this region showed under-expression in cases with the deletion, and three (miR-182/96/183) were also significantly under-expressed (P <0.05) in SMZL relative to other lymphomas. Genomic sequencing of these miRNA and IRF5, a strong candidate gene, did not show any evidence of somatic mutation in SMZL.
