Affymetrix Human Gene 1.0 ST Array (hugene10st)
Description
Obesity is associated with insulin resistance and increased intrahepatic triglyceride (IHTG) content, which are key risk factors for diabetes and cardiovascular disease. However, a subset of obese people does not develop these metabolic complications. We tested the hypothesis that MNO, but not MAO, people are protected from the adverse metabolic effects of weight gain. To this end, global transcriptional profile in adipose tissue before and after weight gain was evaluated by microarray analyses.

Description
Severe acute respiratory syndrome-associated coronavirus (SARS-CoV) infection causes an immune-mediated disease. We have recently shown that SARS-CoV-induced epithelial Calu-3 cytokines could exacerbate and dampen host inflammatory and T cell responses, respectively, through modulating the functions of macrophages and dendritic cells, thereby suggesting that not only are lung epithelial cells the primary cells of SARS-CoV infection, but they also involve in initiating and orchestrating the host innate and adaptive immunity. Comprehensive evaluation of the complex epithelial signaling to SARS-CoV is, thus, crucial for paving the way to better understand SARS pathogenesis and develop the innovative therapeutics against SARS. Here, based on the microarray-based functional genomics, we reported that 2B4 cells, a clonal derivative of Calu-3 cells, elicited a temporal and spatial activation of nuclear factor (NF)kappaB, activator protein (AP)-1 (ATF2/c-Jun), and interferon regulatory factor (IRF)-3/-7 at 12-, 24-, and 48-hrs post infection (p.i.), respectively, resulting in the activation of many antiviral genes, including interferon (IFN)-, -s, SARS-related inflammatory mediators, and various IFN-stimulated genes (ISGs). While elevated responses of IFN- and IFN-s were not detected until 48-hrs p.i., as a consequence of a delayed IRF-3/-7 activation, we showed, for the first time, that both types of IFNs exerted previously under-described non-redundant, complementary, and/or synergistic effects on the epithelial defense against SARS-CoV. Collectively, our results highlight the molecular mechanisms of the sequential activation of virus- and IFN-dependent signaling of lung epithelial cells against SARS-CoV and identify novel cellular targets for future studies, aiming at advancing strategies against SARS.

Description
The goals of this study are to comprehensively identify genes controlled by Jmjd6 in the thymic stroma, and to identify a novel alternative splicing mechanism. Methods: Samples were WT and Jmjd6-/- fetal thymus organ culture with (2 samples for each category) or without (1 sample for each category) RANKL stimulation for 4 days under 2-DG. One µg of total RNA was used for library construction with TruSeq RNA Sample Prep Kit v2. THe ligated products were amplified using 8 cycles of PCR to generate RNA-seq library. Library integrity was verified by Bioanalyzer DNA1000 assay. Sequencing was performed in 101-bp paired-end mode using an Illumina HiSeq.Technical duplicate has done. Results: A total of 177,060,020 reads were obtained for 6 samples. Filtered reads were mapped to the UCSC mm10 using the TopHat program(v2.0.10) with the default parameters. The Cufflinks program (v2.1.1) was then used to assemble 22,448 transcripts and to calculate the fragments per kilobase of exon per million mapped fragments(FPKM) values, which are normalized measurement of gene expression levels(= genes-FPKM file).To identify differentially expressed genes, the ratio of the maximum FPKM to the minimum FPKM was compared among 6 samples. When the ratio was more than 3, the gene was regarded as being significantly altered in expression level. We added 0.1 to the FPKM value to avoid division by zero. This led us to identify 3212 genes with differential expression. Among these, the expression levels of 2536 genes were significantly associated with the RANKL treatment or Jmjd6 expression ( P value <0.05). Analysis for intron retention was performed as follows. According to the current gene annotation ("known genes" in UCSC mm10), there are 188,208 introns in total. As intron retention events should be observed in the genes with relatively high expression, we only focused on the genes with the maximum FPKM value more than 10 at least in one of the six samples. As a result, we obtained 84,708 introns. The reads mapped to these intronic regions were counted by the intersectBed program in the BEDTools utilities with -c option, and the counts are converted into the FPKM values for each intron (intronic FPKM). There are 1051 introns with intronic FPKM more than 10 in at last on of the six samples, and the degree of intron retention was calculated by dividing intronic FPKM value by conventional FPKM value for each gene (intron-FPKM file). Overall design: Samples were WT and Jmjd6-/- fetal thymus organ culture with (2 samples for each category) or without (1 sample for each category) RANKL stimulation for 4 days under 2-DG. One µg of total RNA was used for library construction with TruSeq RNA Sample Prep Kit v2. THe ligated products were amplified using 8 cycles of PCR to generate RNA-seq library. Library integrity was verified by Bioanalyzer DNA1000 assay. Sequencing was performed in 101-bp paired-end mode using an Illumina HiSeq.Technical duplicate has done.

Description
A synthetic analog of sphingosine named FTY720 (Fingolimod), phosphorylated by sphingosine kinase-2, interacts with sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) receptors expressed on various cells. FTY720 suppresses the disease activity of multiple sclerosis (MS) chiefly by inhibiting S1P-dependent egress of autoreactive T lymphocytes from secondary lymphoid organs, and possibly by exerting anti-inflammmatory and neuroprotective effects directly on brain cells. However, at present, biological effects of FTY720 on human microglia are largely unknown. We studied FTY720-mediated apoptosis of a human microglia cell line HMO6. The exposure of HMO6 cells to non-phosphorylated FTY720 (FTY720-non-P) induced apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner with IC50 of 10.62.0 microM, accompanied by the cleavage of caspase-7 and caspase-3 but not of caspase-9. The apoptosis was inhibited by Z-DQMD-FMK, a caspase-3 inhibitor, but not by Pertussis toxin, a Gi protein inhibitor, suramin, a S1P3/S1P5 inhibitor, or W123, a S1P1 competitive antagonist, although HMO6 expressed S1P1, S1P2, and S1P3. Furthermore, both phosphorylated FTY720 (FTY720-P) and SEW2871, a S1P1 selective agonist did not induce apoptosis of HMO6. Genome-wide gene expression profiling and molecular network analysis indicated activation of transcriptional regulation by sterol regulatory element-binding protein (SREBP) in FTY720-non-P-treated HMO6 cells. Western blot verified activation of SREBP2 in these cells, and apoptosis was enhanced by pretreatment with simvastatin, an activator of SREBP2, and by overexpression of the N-terminal fragment of SREBP2. These observations suggest that FTY720-non-P-induced apoptosis of HMO6 human microglia is independent of S1P receptor binding, and positively regulated by the SREBP2-dependent proapoptotic signaling pathway.
