View SamplesAberrant activation of WNT signaling and loss of BMP signals represent the two main alterations leading to the initiation of colorectal cancer (CRC). Here we screen for genes required for maintaining the tumor stem cell phenotype and identify the zinc-finger transcription factor GATA6 as key regulator of the WNT and BMP pathways in CRC. GATA6 directly drives the expression of LGR5 in adenoma stem cells while it restricts BMP signaling to differentiated tumor cells. Genetic deletion of Gata6 in mouse colon adenomas increases the levels of BMP factors, which signal to block self-renewal of tumor stem cells. In human tumors, GATA6 competes with beta-catenin/TCF4 for binding to a distal regulatory region of the BMP4 locus that has been previously linked to increased susceptibility to develop CRC. Hence, GATA6 creates a permissive environment for tumor stem cell expansion by controlling the major signaling pathways that influence CRC initiation.

View SamplesHeat stress is one of the most prominent and deleterious environmental threads affecting plant growth and development. Upon high temperatures, plants launch specialized gene expression programs that promote stress protection and survival. These programs involve global and specific changes at the transcriptional and translational levels. However the coordination of these processes and their specific role in the establishment of the heat stress response is not fully elucidated.

View SamplesTransgenic PiZ mice have been genetically engineered to express ATZ and have been a valuable experimental model for studing liver disease associated with AAT deficiency. ATZ accumulates in these mice within the ER of hepatocytes in a nearly identical manner to livers of affected patients. To investigate the pathogenesis of liver damage induced by ATZ, we performed gene expression analysis in livers of 6-week-old PiZ mice and strain-, age-, and gender-matched wild-type mouse controls. All samples were processed on Affymetrix Mouse 430A 2.0 arrays using GeneChip 3-IVT Plus and Hybridization Wash and Stain kits by means of Affymetrixs standard protocols. The analysis indicated that most genes upregulated in PiZ livers were associated with response to unfolded proteins, ER nuclear signaling pathway, and response to protein stimulus.
