Description
Rudhira is essential for mouse developmental angiogenesis and tissue morphogenesis. Embryos lacking endothelial rudhira die at mid-gestation with vascular patterning defects. Rudhira mutant yolk sac endothelial cells show slow and random migration. So to identify key signaling pathways perturbed in the absence of rudhira, we undertook whole transcriptome based analysis of gene expression in rudhira null yolk sac and embryo.

Description
Fatty acid synthase is a major enzyme involved in de novo lipogenesis and associated with tumor invasion and poor prognosis. The effect of fatty acid synthase knockdown in retinoblastoma cancer cells (WERI RB1) using siRNA mediated gene silencing were accessed for global gene deregulations. The analysis resulted in RB cancer cell death through deregulations of various cell signalling, metabolic, immunity, angiogenesis, apoptosis and cell cycle pathway related genes. Further validations were done using qRT-PCR and western analysis. Our results provide evidence that blockade in lipid metabolism inturn lead to RB cancer cell death through impaired cell signalling pathway.

Description
We hypothesized that Tiam1 is involved in invassiveness of retinoblastoma. The fuctional role of Tiam1 in cell progression and metastasis was tested by siRNA mediated knockdown of Tiam1 in retinoblastoma Y79 cells. The genes de-regulated in response to Tiam1 knockdown was analysed by cDNA microarray in which most of the actin cytoskeleton regulation proteins and apoptotic proteins were de-regulated. our results prove that Tiam1 modulates actin cytoskeleton and cell invasion in retinoblastoma.

Description
Fatty acid synthase is a major enzyme involved in de novo lipogenesis, associated with energy homeostasis, lipid storage and signalling in normal liver cells. The effect of fatty acid synthase knockdown in normal liver cells (THLE 2) using siRNA mediated gene silencing were assesed for global gene deregulations. The deregulated metabolism, cell signalling and cell cycle pathway related gene expressions were analysed. Statistical significance values were also recorded. This expermental analysis clearly points to a important biochemical role for FASN in normal liver cell physiology.

Description
Women are born with millions of primordial follicles which gradually decrease with increasing age and this irreversible supply of follicles completely exhausts at menopause. The fertility capacity of women diminishes in parallel with aging. The mechanisms for reproductive aging are not fully understood. In our recent work we observed a decline in BRCA1 mediated DNA repair in aging rat primordial follicles. To further understand the age-related molecular changes, we performed microarray gene expression analysis using total RNA extracted from immature (1820 days) and aged (400450 days) rat primordial follicles. The results of current microarray study revealed that there were 1011 (>1.5 fold, p<0.05) genes differentially expressed between two groups in which 422 genes were up-regulated and 589 genes were down-regulated in aged rat primordial follicles compared to immature. The gene ontology and pathway analysis of differentially expressed genes revealed a critical biological function such as cell cycle, oocyte meiosis, chromosomal stability, transcriptional activity, DNA replication and DNA repair were affected by age and this considerable difference in gene expression profiles may have adverse influence on oocyte quality. Our data provide information on the processes that may contribute to aging and age-related decline in fertility.

Description
Homeobox gene Tlx3 is known to promote glutamatergic differentiation and is expressed in post-mitotic neurons of CNS. Contrary to this here, we discovered that Tlx3 is expressed in the proliferating progenitors of the external granule layer in the cerebellum, and examined factors that regulate this expression. Using Pax6-/-Sey mouse model and molecular interaction studies we demonstrate Pax6 is a key activator of Tlx3 specifically in cerebellum, and induces its expression starting at embryonic day (E)15. By Postnatal day (PN)7, Tlx3 is expressed in a highly restricted manner in the cerebellar granule neurons of the posterior cerebellar lobes, where it is required for the restricted expression of nicotinic cholinergic receptor-3 subunit (Chrn3) and other genes involved in formation of synaptic connections and neuronal migration. These results demonstrate a novel role for Tlx3 and indicate that Pax6-Tlx3 expression and interaction is part of a region specific regulatory network in cerebellum and its deregulation during development could possibly lead to Autistic spectral disorders (ASD)

Description
Low Birth Weight (LBW) newborns (with weight less than 2500g) suffer a higher frequency and severity of microbial infection than normal birth weight (NBW) newborns. Morbidity and mortality of LBW infants due to infectious diseases are known to be high and it has been associated with compromised immune functions, however, the complete understanding of the cause is lacking. We, therefore, conducted a gene expression study to identify all the defective pathways and functions in the LBW newborns using DNA microarray. RNA were isolated from the umbilical cord blood of the NBW and LBW newborns and processed for chip hybridisation. Our results suggest down-regulation of genes participating in several canonical pathways vital in the defense response against microbes and perpetuation of immune responses. Pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) and Interferon signaling appear to be most significantly impacted pathways. The information generated from this study may help in depth understanding of the cause of higher frequency of infections in LBW and thus, in turn help devise better therapeutic interventions.

Description
Mice deficient in the glucocorticoid-regenerating enzyme 11-HSD1 resist age-related spatial memory impairment. To investigate the mechanisms/pathways involved, we used microarrays to identify differentially expressed hippocampal genes that associate with cognitive ageing and 11-HSD1. Aged wild-type mice were separated into memory-impaired and unimpaired relative to young controls according to their performance in the Y-maze. All individual aged 11-HSD1-deficient mice showed intact spatial memory. The majority of differentially expressed hippocampal genes were increased with ageing (e.g. immune/inflammatory response genes) with no genotype differences. However, the neuronal-specific transcription factor, Npas4 and immediate early gene, Arc were reduced (relative to young) in the hippocampus of memory-impaired but not unimpaired aged wild-type or aged 11-HSD1-deficient mice. Quantitative RT-PCR and in situ hybridization confirmed reduced Npas4 and Arc mRNA expression in memory-impaired aged wild-type mice. These findings suggest that 11-HSD1 may contribute to the decline in Npas4 and Arc mRNA levels associated with memory impairment during ageing, and that decreased activity of synaptic plasticity pathways involving Npas4 and Arc may, in part, underlie the memory deficits seen in cognitively-impaired aged wild-type mice.

Analysis of differentiated Caco-2 intestinal epithelial cell line cocultured with probiotics L. acidophilus NCFM, B. lactis 420, L. salivarius Ls-33 bacterial cells or treated with cell-free supernatant, and with E. coli O157:H7 cell-free supernatant. Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium are important genera suggested to be beneficial for human health and E. coli O157:H7 is a pathogen causing hemorrhagic colitis and hemolytic uremic syndrome. Results provide insight into the mechanisms underlying the beneficial effects of probiotics on intestinal epithelial cells and a comparison to pathogenic E. coli.
