Affymetrix C. elegans Gene 1.0 ST Array (elegene10st)
Description
The excessive perchlorate utilization as an oxidizer in rocket propellants and blasting agents had led to the contamination of surface and ground waters. This chemical is known to compete with iodine for binding to the thyroid membrane receptors potentially causing hypothyroidism and fetal retardation in pregnant women. Nevertheless, to date, its biological effects are not completely understood. We have investigated the molecular mechanisms responsive to perchlorate in the nematode C. elegans to nominate a candidate gene for further peruse in the development of a C.elegans perchlorate biosensor. Perchlorate (1 mg/mL) affected the transcriptional response of Regulation of developmental process, growth, defense mechanisms and stress response, among other biological processes.

Description
Background: Genes upregulated by low oxygen have been suggested as endogenous markers for tumor hypoxia. Yet, most of the genes investigated have shown inconsistent results, which have led to concerns about their ability to be true hypoxia markers. Previous studies have demonstrated that expression of hypoxia induced genes can be affected by extracellular pH (pH e ). Methods: Five different human cell lines (SiHa, FaDu DD, UTSCC5, UTSCC14 and UTSCC15) were exposed to different oxygen concentrations and pH (7.5 or 6.3), and gene expression analyzed with microarray (Affymetrix - Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 Array). Results: An analysis of two of the cell lines using SAM identified 461 probesets that were able to separate the four groups Normal oxygen, normal pH , Low oxygen, normal pH , Normal oxygen, low pH and Low oxygen, low pH . From here it was possible to identify a fraction of probesets induced at low oxygen independent of pH in these two cell lines, this fraction included HIG2, NDRG1, PAI1 and RORA. Further verifi cation by qPCR highlighted the necessity of using more cell lines to obtain a robust gene expression profi les. To specifi cally select pH independent hypoxia regulated genes across more cell lines, data for FaDu DD, UTSCC5, UTSCC14 and UTSCC15 were analyzed to identify genes that were induced by hypoxia in each cell line, where the induction was not affected by low pH, and where the gene was not signifi cantly induced by low pH alone. Each cell line had 65 122 probesets meeting these criteria. For genes to be considered as target genes (hypoxia inducible pH independent), genes had to be present in three of four cell lines. Conclusion: The result is a robust hypoxia profile unaffected by pH across cell lines consisting of 27 genes. This study demonstrates a way to identify hypoxia markers by microarray, where other factors in the tumor microenvironment are taken into account.

Description
Neuroendocrine prostate cancer (NEPC) is rare historically but may be increasingin prevalence as patients potentially develop resistance to contemporary anti-androgen treatment through a neuroendocrine phenotype. Diagnosis can be straightforward when classic morphological features are accompanied by a prototypical immunohistochemistry profile, however there is increasing recognition of disease heterogeneity and hybrid phenotypes. In the primary setting, small cell prostatic carcinoma (SCPC) is frequently admixed with adenocarcinomas that may be clonally related, while a small fraction of SCPCs express markers typical of prostatic adenocarcinoma. Gene expression patterns may eventually help elucidate the biology underlying equivocal cases with discordant IHC, however studies to date have focused on prototypical cases and been based on few patients due to disease rarity.

Description
Our results indicate that oxidation of TAF10 by LOXL2 induces its release from its promoters, leading to a block in TFIID-dependent gene transcription. Since TFIID complex is crucial for the expression of Nanog, Klf4, Sox2 and Oct4 and for maintaining the pluripotent state of embryonic stem cells, TAF10 oxidation by LOXL2 leads to inactivation of the pluripotency genes and a loss of pluripotent capacity in embryonic stem cells. Moreover, in vivo results demonstrate an essential role of LOXL2 in neural differentiation during zebrafish development: in the absence of LOXL2 the neural progenitor gene Sox2 is aberrantly overexpressed and neural differentiation is impaired.

Description
We have previously identified a prognostic 31-gene expression signature in locally advanced cervical cancer that is associated with tumor hypoxia and reflected by the dynamic contrast enhanced magnetic resonance (DCE-MR) image parameter ABrix. To bring the signature closer to clinical use, we here aimed to construct a classifier with key signature genes that retained an association to ABrix and separated the patients into groups with different hypoxia status and chemoradiotherapy outcome.

Description
To examine the effects of recombinant granulin on human mammary stromal fibroblasts, we cultured immortalized GFP+ normal human mammary fibroblasts in the presence of recombinant human granulin (1ug/ml) or PBS every 24h for 6 days. To generate GRN-independent CAFs, we injected immortalized GFP+ human mammary fibroblasts, MCF7Ras human breast carcinoma cells, and 20% Matrigel subcutaneously into nude mice. Tumors were allowed to form for a period of 45 days. GFP+ fibroblasts were isolated from tumors by mincing the tumors, dissociating, and culturing in the presence of 1 ug/ml puromycin for ~3-4 weeks. CAF purity was confirmed by ensuring that 100% of the population was GFP-positive.

Description
Notch intracellular domain (NICD) is the active form of the Notch receptor. In this mouse model, NICD is inserted in the Rosa26 locus downstream of a loxP-STOP-LoxP (lsl) sequence and therefore NICD expression is dependant on Cre recombinase expression. These mice are crossed with the AFP-Cre strain that expresses Cre in hepatoblasts due to its regulation by the AFP promoter and albumin enhancer. Mice from 6 to 12 months are sacrificed and liver RNA samples from control monotransgenic Rosa26-lsl-NICD and confirmed HCC lesions from bitransgenic AFP-Cre/Rosa26-lsl-NICD (AFP-NICD) are obtained. Exon expression profiling of these samples are submitted.
