- Affymetrix Mouse Gene 1.0 ST Array (mogene10st)
Description
Ebf genes regulate differentiation of several cell type. Ebf2 is expressed in Schwann cells and Ebf2-/- mice show among other phenotypical abnormalities a delay in the onset of myelination associated to a decreased expression of genes regulating myelination. In addition at one month of age Ebf2-/- mice show decreased motor conduction velocity and morphological alteration in sciatic nerves. Ebf2 target genes are unknown. To identify Ebf2 target genes with a role in myelination, we compared the expression profiles of sciatic nerves isolated from P2 Wt and Ebf2-/- mice by microarray analysis.

Description
Schizophrenia is associated with alterations in working memory that reflect dysfunction of dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) circuitry. Working memory depends on the activity of excitatory pyramidal cells in DLPFC layer 3, and to a lesser extent in layer 5.

Illumina HiSeq 2500
Description
Oligodendrocyte dysfunction underlies many neurological disorders but rapid assessment of mutation-specific effects in these cells has been impractical. To enable functional genetics in oligodendrocytes, here we report a highly efficient method for generating oligodendrocytes and their progenitors from mouse embryonic and induced pluripotent stem cells, independent of mouse strain or mutational status. We demonstrate that this approach, when combined with genome engineering, provides a powerful platform for the expeditious study of genotype-phenotype relationships in oligodendrocytes. Overall design: Cells were lysed directly in 1 ml of TRIzol (Thermo Fisher) and stored at -80°C. Once all samples were collected, samples were thawed on ice and RNA was separated with chloroform using Phase Lock Gel tubes (5prime). RNA was isolated using the miRNeasy Mini Kit (Qiagen) according to the manufacture's protocol. One microgram of each sample was then subject to ribosome depletion, fragmented, and library prepared using the TruSeq Stranded Total RNA Kit with Ribo Zero Gold (Illumina) according to the manufacturer's protocol and indexed using TruSeq adapters. One hundred base pair paired-end reads were generated for each sample on the Illumina HiSeq 2500 (Case Western Reserve University Sequencing Core; Cleveland, OH). Samples include mESC derived oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPCs) from four different wildtype mouse strains at 0 hr, 24, hr, 48 hr, and 72 hr after treatment with thyroid hormone T3 (n = 4 biological replicates per time point). Two additional samples include mutant OPCs (shiverer and MYRF knockout ''delMYRF'') at 72 hr time point.

Description
2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) has a large number of biological effects, including skin, cardiovascular, neurologic disease, diabetes, infertility and cancer. We analysed the in vitro TCDD effects on human CD34+ cells and tested the gene expression modulation by means of microarray analyses before and after TCDD exposure. We identified 253 differentially modulated probe sets, identifying 217 well-characterized genes. A large part of these were associated with cell adhesion and/or angiogenesis and with transcription regulation. Synaptic transmission and visual perception functions, with the particular involvement of the GABAergic pathway, were also significantly modulated. Numerous transcripts involved in cell cycle or cell proliferation, immune response, signal transduction, ion channel activity or calcium ion binding, tissue development and differentiation, female or male fertility or in several metabolic pathways were also affected after dioxin exposure. The transcriptional profile induced by TCDD treatment on human CD34+ cells strikingly reproduces the clinical and biological effects observed in individuals exposed to dioxin and in biological experimental systems.

Description
Quantitative Analysis of cortical transcriptomes through Next Generation Sequencing (RNA-Seq) from wild-type mice, wild-type mice treated with IL1b (200 ng/mouse, 14h), IL-1R8-/- mice and IL-1R8-/- mice treated with IL1b antagonist Anakinra (25 mg/kg per day for 3 consecutive days, i.p. administration). mRNA profiles of cortical tissue from adult wild-type mice, wild-type mice treated with IL1b (200 ng/kg, 14h), IL-1R8-/- mice (Garlanda et al., 2004), and IL-1R8-/- mice treated with Anakinra (25 mg/kg per day for 3 consecutive days, i.p. administration) were generated by next-generation sequencing (RNA-seq) using Illumina HiSeq 2500 apparatus in paired-end configuration (2x125bp). Each condition was assessed in triplicate (12 mRNA-seq libraries) and, to reduce biological variability, each mRNA library was generated from pooled total RNA isolated from cortical tissue of 3 individual mice. In total, 9 mice per condition were used. Libraries were stranded and multiplexed. To increase sequencing depth, libraries were sequenced in two different lanes. All the libraries were loaded in each of the two lanes. Quality control of the raw data was performed with FastQC (http://www.bioinformatics.babraham.ac.uk/projects/fastqc/). Libraries were trimmed for adapter removal using Trimmomatic (Bolger et al., 2014) and mapped to reference genome (Ensembl GRCm38) using TopHat2 (Kim et al., 2013) and Bowtie2 (Langmead et al., 2009). Library sizes of primary mapped reads were between 70 and 96 million reads. Samtools was used to manipulate BAM files (Li et al., 2009). For calling of differentially expressed genes (DEG), mapped reads were counted with HTSeq v0.6.1 (Anders et al., 2014) and count tables were analysed using DeSeq2 v1.10.1 R-package (Love et al., 2014) with a design of one factor with four levels (“wild-type”, “wild-type + IL1?”, “IL-1R8-/-”, “IL-1R8-/- + Anakinra"), and differences between groups were tested using contrasts for wild-type + IL1b versus wild-type; IL-1R8-/- versus wild-type; IL-1R8-/- + Kineret versus wild-type. For consideration of differentially regulated genes between conditions, we used adjusted p-value < 0.1 or adjusted p-value < 0.05 as indicated in the manuscript. Overall design: mRNA profiles in adult mouse cerebral cortex of wild type (WT), WT mice treated with IL1b (200 ng/kg, 14h), IL-1R8-/- mice, and IL-1R8-/- mice treated with IL1b antagonist Anakinra (25 mg/kg per day for 3 consecutive days, i.p. administration) were generated by deep sequencing, in triplicate, using Illumina HiSeq 2500. Each sample was prepared by pooling cortical tissue from 3 idenpendent mice.

- Affymetrix Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 Array (hgu133plus2)
Description
The side population (SP), recently identified in several normal tissues and in a variety of tumors, may comprise cells endowed with stem cell features. In this study, we investigated the presence of SP in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) and found it in 4 out of 6 primary cultures from xenotransplants, as well as in 9 out of 25 clinical samples analyzed. SP cells from one xenograft bearing a large SP fraction were characterized in detail and they were capable of recreate the full repertoire of cancer cell populations observed in the parent tumor. Moreover, SP cells had higher proliferation rates, were much less apoptotic compared to non-SP cells, and generated tumors more rapidly than non-SP cells.

Affymetrix Human Exon 1.0 ST Array [transcript (gene) version (huex10st)
Description
Cancer is characterized by gene expression aberrations. Studies have largely focused on coding sequences and promoters, despite the fact that distal regulatory elements play a central role in controlling transcription patterns. Here we utilize the histone mark H3K4me1 to analyze gain and loss of enhancer activity genome wide in primary colon cancer lines relative to normal colon crypts. We identified thousands of variant enhancer loci (VELs) that comprise a signature that is robustly predictive of the in vivo colon cancer transcriptome. Furthermore, VELs are enriched in haplotype blocks containing colon cancer genetic risk variants, implicating these genomic regions in colon cancer pathogenesis. We propose that reproducible changes in the epigenome at enhancer elements drive a unique transcriptional program to promote colon carcinogenesis.
