Affymetrix Human Genome U133A Array (hgu133a)
Description
Molecular mechanisms that influence susceptibility to multiple sclerosis are poorly understood. We conducted a gene expression study in healthy subjects that subsequently developed the disease. Gene expression profiles (HG U133A and A2, Affymetrix, 22,215 transcripts) of peripheral blood mononuclear cells were analyzed in 9 healthy subjects (mean age 19.8+1.1 years) up to 9 years (mean 5.11.2 years) before onset of MS (MS to be, MS2b), 11 age-, gender-, and origin-matched subjects that remained MS-free (MSf), and 31 clinically isolated syndrome (CIS) patients. Most informative genes (p<0.05) and significant biological processes were compared. 1051 genes (611 up-regulated, 440 down-regulated) were significantly different between MS2b and MSf subjects. MS2b signature was characterized by down-regulation of the nuclear receptor (NR) family genes including NR subfamily 4 group A member1 (NR4A1, p=0.01), member 3 (NR4A3, p=0.01), NR subfamily 2 group F member 2 (NR2F1, p=0.03) and vitamin D receptor (VDR, p=0.02), all known to be involved in T-cell regulation by apoptosis. Comparison between MS2b and CIS operating networks demonstrated evolution of the altered NR dependent apoptosis regulation. Decreased NR4A1 expression was verified at the mRNA and protein level in an independent cohort of 20 relapsing-remitting MS patients. The identified MS trait is associated with suppressed transcription of NR networks that leads to altered apoptosis of activated T cells and the development of clinical disease. MS2b subjects have already an ongoing process that eventually will lead to clinical disease and our finding are of importance as they suggest the possibility of early detection and prevention of MS.

Description
The role of microbe in promoting the initiation of gastric cancer (GC), the third most lethal cancer worldwide, are ill-defined. Here, we found that tumor size and weight in gp130F/F mouse stomach at condition were significantly reduced compared to those of at SPF condition. To investigate the underlying mechanism and how host genes were regulated in the presence/absence of microbe, arrays were performed in stomach tissue from gp130F/F and WT at 4 week old at SPF and GF conditions.

Description
Leukemia is a complex malignancy with hundreds of distinct mutations associated with disease development. Studies have shown that oncogenes cooperate to promote leukemia transformation, however, the downstream effectors of this cooperation are largely unknown.

- Affymetrix Mouse Expression 430A Array (moe430a)
Description
While the hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPA) activates a general stress response by increasing glucocorticoid (Gc) synthesis, biological stress resulting from infections triggers the inflammatory response through production of cytokines. The pituitary gland integrates some of these signals by responding to the pro-inflammatory cytokines IL6 and LIF and to a negative Gc feedback loop. The present work used whole-genome approaches to define the LIF/STAT3 regulatory network and to delineate cross-talk between this pathway and Gc action. Genome-wide ChIP-chip identified 3 449 STAT3 binding sites, whereas 2 396 genes regulated by LIF and/or Gc were found by expression profiling. Surprisingly, LIF on its own changed expression of only 85 genes but the joint action of LIF and Gc potentiated the expression of more than a thousand genes. Accordingly, activation of both LIF and Gc pathways also potentiated STAT3 and GR recruitment to many STAT3 targets. Our analyses revealed an unexpected gene cluster that requires both stimuli for delayed activation: 83% of the genes in this cluster are involved in different cell defense mechanisms. Thus, stressors that trigger both general stress and inflammatory responses lead to activation of a stereotypic innate cellular defense response.

- Affymetrix Drosophila Genome Array (drosgenome1)
Description
During sexual dimorphism, the loss of one entire X chromosome in Drosophila males is achieved largely via a broad genome-wide aneuploid effect. Exploring how MSL proteins and two large non coding RNAs (roX1 and roX2) modulate trans-acting aneuploid effect for equality to females, we employ a system biology approach (microarray) to investigate the global aneuploid effect of maleless(mle) mutation by disrupting MSL binding. A large number of the genes (144) that encode a broad spectrum of cellular transport proteins and transcription factors are located in the autosomes of Drosophila melanogaster.

Description
Pitx1, critical regulator of a limited hindlimb-specific gene network, targets the limb development program common to both fore- and hindlimbs in order to implement hindlimb-specific limb morphology. Overall design: The gene regulatory networks governing forelimb vs. hindlimb development in mouse were investigated using expressing profiling of morphologically stage-matched e10.5 forelimbs and e11.0 hindlimbs, ChIPseq of chromatin marks, and ChIPseq of limb-specific transcription factors Pitx1 and Tbx5. The makeup of the Pitx1-directed components of the hindlimb gene network were investigated using expression profiling of Pitx1 null hindlimbs at two stages (e11.0 and e11.5).
