The goal of this experiment was to investigate the molecular mechanism of how Set-beta regulates neurite growth. Set-betas subcellular localization is regulated by posttranslational modifications. We found that Set-beta suppresses neurite growth of purified postnatal rat retinal ganglion cell (RGC) primary neurons when it is overexpressed in the nucleus, whereas recruiting Set-beta to cellular membrane by fusing myr-tag to its N-terminus promotes neurite growth. Here, we transfected purified by immunopanning postnatal rat RGC with wild-type Set-beta which localizes to the nucleus, myr-Set-beta which is recruited to cellular membranes, and mCherry control, and analyzed with microarrays Set-betas subcellular localization-dependent effects on gene expression. We found that wild-type Set- regulated expression of significantly more genes than myr-Set-, consistent with wild-type Set-s nuclear localization and previously described roles in regulating transcription. These data reveal potential downstream gene effectors regulating neurite growth, and specific candidate genes could be validated and tested in future experiments.

The purpose of this study was to analyze differential gene expression in umbilical cord tissue as a function of maternal smoking, with an emphasis on growth-related genes. We recruited 15 pregnant smokers and 15 women who never smoked during pregnancy to participate RNA was isolated from umbilical cord tissue collected and snap frozen at the time of delivery. Microarray analysis was performed using the Affymetrix GeneChip Scanner 3000.Six hundred seventy-eight probes corresponding to 545 genes were differentially expressed (i.e., an intensity ratio that exceeded +/-1.3 and a corrected significance value p < 0.005) in tissue obtained from smokers versus nonsmokers. Genes important for fetal growth, angiogenesis, or development of connective tissue matrix were up-regulated among smokers. The most highly up-regulated gene was CSH1, a somatomammotropin gene. Two other somatomammotropin genes (CSH2 and CSH-L1) were also up-regulated. The most highly down-regulated gene was APOBEC3A; other down-regulated genes included those that may be important in immune and barrier protection. PCR validation of the three somatomammotropin genes showed a high correlation between qPCR and microarray expression. Consequently, maternal smoking may be associated with altered gene expression in the offspring.
