Affymetrix Human Genome U133A Array (hgu133a)
Description
19 paired human left ventricular apex samples were harvested at the time of implant of a left ventricular assist device (PRE) and at the time of explant (POST). The cohort included patients that were clinically classified as "ischemic" (I) showing evidence of coronary artery disease, "non-ischemic" (N) no evidence of coronary artery disease or "acute Myocardial infarction" (IM) myocardial infarction within 10 days of the implant. Tissue was processed and hybridized to the Affymetrix HG-U133A chip.

Illumina HiSeq 2000
Description
Purpose:The goals of this study was to determine alterations in expression levels of transcripts downstream of a dominant-negative transcription factor. Quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT–PCR) methods was used to confirm the altered expression of targets. Methods: Striatal mRNA profiles of 11-month-old wild-type (WT) and Nestin-Cre X PPAR delta E411P mice were generated by deep sequencing, in triplicate, using Illumina HiSeq 2000. The sequence reads that passed quality filters were analyzed at the transcript isoform level with TopHat followed by Cufflinks. qRT–PCR validation was performed using TaqMan and SYBR Green assays. Western blots, and immunofluorescence was also used to confirm if altered mRNA levels translated to changes at the protein level. Results: Using data analysis workflow, we mapped sequence reads for each sample to the mouse genome (build mm9) and identified transcripts in the striatum of WT and PPARdelta E411P mice. Conclusions: Our study found multiple transcripts altered in the striatum of the Nestin-Cre x PPAR delta E411P mice as compared to WT striatum, as generated by RNA-SEQ in biologic replicates. Overall design: Striatal mRNA profiles of 11-month-old wild type (WT) and Nestin-Cre X PPAR delta E411P mice were generated by deep sequencing, in triplicate, using Illumina HiSeq2000.

Description
Rosiglitazone (Rosi), a member of the thiazolidinedione class of drugs used to treat type 2 diabetes, activates the adipocyte-specific transcription factor peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARg). This activation causes bone loss in animals and humans, at least in part due to suppression of osteoblast differentiation from marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSC). In order to identify mechanisms by which PPARg2 suppresses osteoblastogenesis and promotes adipogenesis in MSC, we have analyzed the PPARg2 transcriptome in response to Rosi. A total of 4,252 transcriptional changes resulted when Rosi (1 uM) was applied to the U-33 marrow stromal cell line, stably transfected with PPARg2 (U-33/g2), as compared to non-induced U-33/g2 cells. Differences between U-33/g2 and U-33 cells stably transfected with empty vector (U-33/c) comprised 7,928 transcriptional changes, independent of Rosi. Cell type-, time- and treatment-specific gene clustering uncovered distinct patterns of PPARg2 transcriptional control of MSC lineage commitment. The earliest changes accompanying Rosi activation of PPARg2 included adjustments in morphogenesis, Wnt signaling, and immune responses, as well as sustained induction of lipid metabolism. Expression signatures influenced by longer exposure to Rosi provided evidence for distinct mechanisms governing the repression of osteogenesis and stimulation of adipogenesis. Our results suggest interactions that could lead to the identification of a master regulatory scheme controlling osteoblast differentiation.

Description
Appropriate nutrition during early development is essential for optimal bone mass accretion; however, linkage between early nutrition, childhood bone mass and prevention of bone loss later in life has not been extensively studied. In this report, we have demonstrated several fundamental issues in the field. 1) A significant prevention of ovariectomy (OVX) -induced bone loss from adult rats can occur with only 14 days consumption of a blueberry-containing diet immediately prior to puberty. 2) The molecular mechanisms underlying these effects involve increased myosin production and preserved a shuttle for transcription factors such as Runx2 from cytoplasm to nucleolus which stimulates osteoblast differentiation and reduces mesenchymal stromal cell senescence. 3) The effects of blueberry diet on preserving fidelity of osteoblast differentiation also overcome reduced osteoblast differentiation and activity due to OVX-induced degradation of collagen matrix.

Description
The oncogenic mechanisms and tumour biology underpinning Clear Cell Sarcoma of Kidney (CCSK), the second commonest paediatric renal malignancy, are poorly understood and currently therapy depends heavily on Doxorubicin with cardiotoxic side-effects. Previously, we characterised the balanced t(10;17)(q22;p13) chromosomal translocation, identified at that time as the only recurrent genetic aberration in CCSK. This translocation results in an in-frame fusion of the YWHAE (encoding 14-3-3e) and NUTM2 genes, with a somatic incidence of 12%. Clinico-pathological features of that cohort suggested that this aberration might be associated with higher stage and grade disease. Since no primary CCSK cell line exists, we generated various stably transfected cell lines containing doxycycline-inducible HA-tagged-YWHAE-NUTM2, in order to study the effect of expressing this transcript. 14-3-3e-NUTM2-expressing cells exhibited significantly greater cell migration compared to mock-treated controls. Gene and protein expression studies conducted in parallel on this model system suggested dysregulation of signalling pathways as a basis to the migration changes. Importantly, by blocking these signalling pathways using anti-EGFR, anti-IGF1R and anti-PDGFa neutralising antibodies, the migratory advantage conferred by transcript expression was abrogated. These results support 14-3-3e-NUTM2 expression as a contributor to CCSK tumorigenesis and provide avenues for the exploration of novel therapeutic approaches in CCSK.

Description
E protein transcription factors specify major immune cell lineages including lymphocytes and interferon-producing plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs). Corepressors of the ETO family can bind to and block transactivation by E proteins, but the physiological role of these interactions remained unclear. We report that ETO protein Mtg16 binds chromatin primarily through the pDC-specific E protein E2-2 in human pDCs. Mtg16-deficient mice showed impaired pDC development and functionality, whereas the specification of the classical dendritic cells (cDCs) was enhanced. The deletion of Mtg16 caused aberrant expression of E protein antagonist Id2 in pDCs. Thus, Mtg16 acts as a cofactor of E2-2 to promote pDC differentiation and restrict cDC development, revealing an unexpected positive role of ETO proteins in E protein activity.
