Description
TIMP-2 is an endogenous angiogenesis inhibitor, i.e. inhibits endothelial cell proliferation and tumor angiogenesis. As a result, TIMP-2 inhibits tumor growth and progression to metastasis. Understanding, therefore, the mechanisms of TIMP-2-mediated tumor growth inhibition would provide further support on the use of TIMP-2 as a novel biological agent for cancer therapy. We used microarray analysis to determine the TIMP-2 and Ala+TIMP-2 transcriptional profiles of A549 cancer cells in order to understand how TIMP-2 inhibits tumor growth and angiogenesis.

Description
Genetic and epigenetic processes result in gene expression changes through alteration of the chromatin structure. The relative position of genes on chromosomes has therefore important functional implications and can be exploited to model microarray datasets. Gliomas are the most frequent primary brain tumours in adults and their prognosis is related to histology and grade. In oligodendrogliomas, allelic loss of 1p/19q and hypermethylation of MGMT promoter is associated with longer survival and chemosensitivity. In this work we used oligonucleotide microarray to study a group of 30 gliomas with various oligodendroglial and astrocytic components. We used an original approach combining a wavelet model of inter-probe genomic distance (CHROMOWAVE) and unsupervised method of analysis (Singular Value Decomposition) in order to discover new prognostic chromosomal patterns of gene expression. We identified a major pattern of variation that strongly correlated with survival (p= 0.007) and could be visualized as a genome-wide chromosomal pattern including widespread gene expression changes on 1p, 19q, 4, 18, 13 and 9q and multiple smaller clusters scattered along chromosomes. Gene expression changes on chromosomes 1p, 19q and 9q were significantly correlated with the allelic loss of these regions as measured by FISH. Differential expression of genes implicated in drug resistance was also a feature of this chromosomal pattern and in particular low expression of MGMT was correlated with favourable prognosis (p<0.0001). Remarkably, unsupervised analysis of the expression of individual genes and not of their chromosomal ensemble produced a pattern that could not be associated with prognosis, emphasizing the determinant role of the wavelet mathematical modelling.

Description
Nitric oxide and NO-derived species (RNS) are defense molecules with broad antimicrobial activity. Micro-organisms have developed strategies to sense RNS and counteract their damaging effects. We used Saccharomyces cerevisiae, harbouring a deletion of YHB1 that encodes the main NO scavenger enzyme, to study consequences of RNS exposure on whole genome transcriptional response. The expression of >700 genes was altered on RNS treatment. No major role for ROS-scavenging enzymes was found, and the respiratory chain, the main site of ROS production, had only minor involvement in the RNS-induced stress. The changes were generally transient and also found after treatment with the respiratory inhibitor myxothiazol. 117 genes however showed a persistent response which was not observed after myxothiazol treatment. Of these, genes of the glutathione and DNA repair systems, iron homeostasis and transport were found up-regulated. Severe repression of genes of respiratory chain enzymes was observed. Many of these genes are known to be regulated by the transcription factor Hap1p suggesting that RNS might interfere with Hap1p activity. We showed also that Msn2/4p and Yap1p, key regulators of the response to, respectively, general stress and oxidative stress, played a role in mediating the RNS-induced response.

Description
Genome-wide comparisons of transcription factor binding sites in different species allow for a direct evaluation of the evolutionary constraints that shape transcription factor binding landscapes. To gain insights into the evolution of the PPARg-dependent transcriptional network we obtained binding data for PPARg, RXR and PU.1 in human macrophages and compared the profiles to matching data from mouse macrophages. We found that PPARg binding was highly divergent and only 5% of the PPARg bound regions were occupied in both species. Despite the low conservation of PPARg binding sites, conserved PPARg target genes contribute more than 30% to the functional target genes identified in human macrophages. In addition conserved target genes are strongly enriched for lipid metabolic functions. We detected the lineage-specification factor PU.1 at the majority of human PPARg binding sites. This confirmed the juxtaposed binding configuration found in mouse macrophages and demonstrated the preservation of tissue-specific adjacent PPARg-Pu.1 binding in the absence of individual binding site conservation. Finally, based on this of PPARg and PU.1 binding between human and mouse we suggest a mechanism by which PU.1 facilitates PPARg binding site turnover in macrophages.
