Affymetrix Rat Expression 230A Array (rae230a)
Description
Inherent depot- and age-dependent preadipocyte characteristics may contribute to age-related fat redistribution. Both aging and depot origin affect preadipocyte replication and adipogenesis. To define responsible mechanisms, we analyzed genome-wide expression profiles in epididymal (E) and perirenal (P) preadipocytes cultured from young (3 month) and old (30m) rats. Differences between depots were distinct from and more dramatic than those that occur with aging.

Description
Fat tissue was resected during gastric bypass surgery for management of obesity. All subjects had fasted at least 10 hours before surgery. Subjects with malignancies were excluded. No subjects were taking thiazolidinediones or steroids. None had fasting plasma glucose levels over 120 mg/ dl. One half to 10 g of abdominal subcutaneous (external to the fascia superficialis), mesenteric, and greater omental fat were obtained from each subject. The tissue was collected in Hanks balanced salt solution with bicarbonate, penicillin, and gentamicin. Fat tissue was minced and then digested in HBSS containing 1 mg/ml collagenase and 7.5% fetal bovine serum in a 37*C shaking water bath until fragments were no longer visible and the digest had a milky appearance. Digests were filtered and centrifuged at 800xG for 10 min. The digests were treated with an erythrocyte lysis buffer. Cells were plated in 1:1 Dulbeccos modified Eagles medium:Hams F12 that contained 10% fetal bovine serum and antibiotics at a density of 4 x 104 cells/cm2. After 18 hours cultures were trypsinized until 95% of cells were detached (leaving endothelial cells and macrophages behind) and re-plated. Macrophages were rare (less than 5 per 106 cells, as assessed by phase contrast microscopy) in the re-plated cultures, irrespective of fat depot origin. Plating medium was changed every 2 days until confluence. For differentiation, preadipocytes were treated for 30 days with plating medium (without serum) enriched with 100 nM dexamethasone, 500 nM human insulin, 200 pM triiodothyronine, 0.5 *M rosiglitazone, antibiotics, and 540 *M methylisobutylxanthine (removed after 2 days). Higher rosiglitazone and insulin concentrations did not further enhance differentiation. Medium was changed every 2 days. For the final 2 days, differentiation medium was removed and cells were cultured in plating medium without serum. Undifferentiated preadipocytes were maintained in plating medium until confluence, when serum was removed for 2 days. For telomerase-expressing clones, preadipocytes were isolated and when cells had undergone 7 population doublings, they were transduced with a retrovirus containing the plasmid, pBABE-hTERT-Hygro. This vector expresses the human telomerase reverse transcriptase component (hTERT) driven by the Moloney murine leukemia virus long terminal repeat promoter and a hygromycin resistance sequence driven by the SV40 promoter. The 3 abdominal subcutaneous and 3 omental stably transduced, hygromycin-resistant clones capable of achieving confluence fastest were selected from 38 subcutaneous and 42 omental clones. Telomerase activity in these clones was verified using a PCR-based telomere repeat amplification protocol. RNA was isolated from preadipocytes by the Trizol method. RNA samples were labeled using the standard one-cycle Affymetrix GeneChip Eukaryotic Target Labeling Assay for Expression Analysis. Samples were hybridized for 16 hours at 45 C and 60 rpm, washed and stained according to the standard Affymetrix Antibody Amplification for Eukaryotic Targets protocol, and scanned at 488 nm. Images were quantified and linearly scaled using Affymetrix GeneChip Operating Software 1.1 using default analysis settings.

- Affymetrix Mouse Genome 430 2.0 Array (mouse4302)
Description
The heart responds to pathological overload through myocyte hypertrophy. In our study, we found that this response is regulated by cardiac fibroblasts via a novel paracrine mechanism involving plasma membrane calcium ATPase 4 (PMCA4). PMCA4 deletion in mice, both systemically and specifically in fibroblasts, reduces the hypertrophic response to pressure overload; however, knocking out PMCA4 specifically in cardiomyocytes does not produce this effect. Mechanistically, our microarray data on fibroblasts isolated from PMCA4 WT and PMCA4 knockout animals showed that cardiac fibroblasts lacking PMCA4 produce higher levels of secreted frizzled related protein 2 (sFRP2), which inhibits the hypertrophic response in neighbouring cardiomyocytes.

Description
It is important to understand how, if at all, antiretroviral prophylaxis with tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) alone or TDF in conjunction with emtricitabine (FTC) affects gene expression. To ask this question, we used vaginal biopsies from women enrolled in the Genital Mucosal Substudy (GMS) [1] of the Partners PrEP Study (NCT02621242) [2]. Partners PrEP was a randomized Phase III trial of oral TDF or TDF/FTC compared to placebo, which showed that either active drug was effective at protecting against HIV-1 infection. Samples were taken after 24-36 months of oral treatment with placebo, TDF, or TDF/FTC or two months after discontinuation. Treatment adherence was based on plasma TDF concentrations.

It is important to understand how, if at all, antiretroviral prophylaxis with tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) alone or TDF in conjunction with emtricitabine (FTC) affects gene expression. To ask this question, we used cervicovaginal biopsies from women enrolled in the Genital Mucosal Substudy (GMS) [1] of the Partners PrEP Study (NCT02621242) [2]. Partners PrEP was a randomized Phase III trial of oral TDF or TDF/FTC compared to placebo, which showed that either active drug was effective at protecting against HIV-1 infection. Samples were taken after 24-36 months of oral treatment with placebo, TDF, or TDF/FTC or two months after discontinuation. Treatment adherence was based on plasma TDF concentrations. The samples in this series are thought to be endocervical biopsies on the basis of their gene expression.

- Affymetrix Arabidopsis ATH1 Genome Array (ath1121501)
Description
Many flowering plants attract pollinators by offering a reward of floral nectar. Remarkably, the molecular events involved in the development of nectaries, the organs that produce nectar, as well as the synthesis and secretion of nectar itself, are poorly understood. Indeed, to date, no genes have been shown to directly affect the de novo production or quality of floral nectar. To address this gap in knowledge, the ATH1 Affymetrix GeneChip array was used to systematically investigate the Arabidopsis nectary transcriptome to identify genes and pathways potentially involved in nectar production. In this study, we identified a large number of genes differentially expressed between secretory lateral nectaries and non-secretory median nectary tissues, as well as between mature lateral nectaries (post-anthessis) and immature lateral nectary tissue (pre-anthesis).
