Affymetrix Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 Array (hgu133plus2)
Description
Maternal smoking doubles the risk of delivering a low birth weight infant. The purpose of this study was to analyze differential gene expression in umbilical cord tissue as a function of maternal smoking, with an emphasis on growth-related genes. We recruited 15 pregnant smokers and 15 women who never smoked during pregnancy to participate RNA was isolated from umbilical cord tissue collected and snap frozen at the time of delivery. Microarray analysis was performed using the Affymetrix GeneChip Scanner 3000.Six hundred seventy-eight probes corresponding to 545 genes were differentially expressed (i.e., an intensity ratio that exceeded +/-1.3 and a corrected significance value p < 0.005) in tissue obtained from smokers versus nonsmokers. Genes important for fetal growth, angiogenesis, or development of connective tissue matrix were up-regulated among smokers. The most highly up-regulated gene was CSH1, a somatomammotropin gene. Two other somatomammotropin genes (CSH2 and CSH-L1) were also up-regulated. The most highly down-regulated gene was APOBEC3A; other down-regulated genes included those that may be important in immune and barrier protection. PCR validation of the three somatomammotropin genes showed a high correlation between qPCR and microarray expression. Consequently, maternal smoking may be associated with altered gene expression in the offspring.

Description
Despite the benefits associated with healthy diets, data on the mechanisms by which these benefits are promoted are scarce. Our aim was to explore the global transcriptomic response of biological pathways related to cardiovascular disease associated with traditional Mediterranean diet (TMD) intervention. The PREDIMED study is a large on-going, parallel, multicentre, randomised, controlled trial aimed at assessing the TMD effect on primary cardiovascular prevention. High cardiovascular risk participants were recruited and assigned to one of the following interventions: 1) TMD plus virgin olive oil (VOO); 2) TMD plus mixed nuts; or 3) low-fat diet (control group). In a sub sample of 30 volunteers of the PREDIMED- Barcelona Sur Centre, gene expression changes in peripheral mononuclear cells, after 3 months of intervention, were assessed by microarray analysis.

- Affymetrix Rat Gene 1.0 ST Array (ragene10st)
Description
Neural progenitor cells (NPCs) have regenerative capabilities that are activated during inflammation. By measuring the global transcriptome and performing functional studies, we aimed at elucidating if and how NPCs from the non-germinal niche of the spinal cord differ from germinal niche NPCs, here represented by the subventricular zone (SVZ) NPCs. Moreover, we investigated how these cells are affected by chronic inflammation modeled by Experimental Autoimmune Encephalomyelitis (EAE). NPCs were isolated and propagated from the SVZ and cervical, thoracic and caudal regions of the spinal cord from healthy rats and rats subjected to EAE. Using Affymetrix microarray analyses, the global transcriptome was measured in the different NPC populations both in undifferentiated and differentiated cultures. These analyses were paralleled by differentiation studies and quantitative RT-PCR of differentiation-specific genes.

Description
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and their cellular response to various stimuli have been characterized in great detail in culture conditions. In contrast, the cellular response of MSCs in an in vivo setting is still uncharted territory. In this study, we investigated the cellular response of MSCs following transplantation into spinal cord injury (SCI).Mouse bone marrow-derived MSCs were transplanted 24h following severe contusion SCI in mice. As controls, MSCs transplanted to uninjured spinal cord and non-transplanted MSCs were used. At seven days post transplantation, the MSCs were isolated from the SCI, and their global transcriptional changes investigated using RNA-sequencing. We found that MSCs transplanted into SCI down-regulate their response to cytokines, tendency to adhere and to undergo phagocytosis but up-regulate their ability to repair DNA and proliferate. Overall design: Evaluation of transcriptional changes in transplanted mesenchymal stem cells.

Description
Most higher organisms, including plants and animals, have developed a time-keeping mechanism that allows them to anticipate daily fluctuations of environmental parameters such as light and temperature. This circadian clock efficiently coordinates plant growth and metabolism with respect to time-of-day by producing self-sustained rhythms of gene expression with an approximately 24-hour period. The importance of these rhythms has in fact been demonstrated in both phytoplankton and higher plants: organisms that have an internal clock period matched to the external environment possess a competitive advantage over those that do not.

The circadian clock regulates auxin signaling and responses in Arabidopsis.

Description
REST is a master regulator of genes that are involved in the acqusition of neuronal fate. The role of REST is not well understood so we attempted to investigate the role of REST in the development of neural cells by analysing the genes that are upregulated when REST is knocked down via shRNA

Description
Brucella dynamically engage macrophages while trafficking to an intracellular replicative niche as macrophages, the first line of innate host defense, attempt to eliminate organisms. Brucella melitensis, B. neotomae, and B. ovis are highly homologous, yet exhibit a range of host pathogenicity and specificity. RAW 264.7 macrophages infected with B. melitensis, and B. ovis exhibit divergent patterns of bacterial persistence and clearance; conversely, B. melitensis and B. neotomae exhibit similar patterns of infection. Evaluating early macrophage interaction with Brucella spp. allows discovery of host entry and intracellular translocation mechanisms, rather than bacterial replication. Microarray analysis of macrophage transcript levels following a 4 hr Brucella spp. infection revealed 130 probe sets altered compared to uninfected macrophages; specifically, 72 probe sets were increased and 58 probe sets were decreased with any Brucella spp. Interestingly, much of the inflammatory response was not regulated by the number of Brucella gaining intracellular entry, as macrophage transcript levels were often equivalent among B. melitensis, B. ovis, and B. neotomae infections. An additional 33 probe sets were identified with altered macrophage transcript levels among Brucella spp. infections that may correlate with species specific host defenses and intracellular survival. Gene ontological categorization unveiled genes altered among species are involved in cell growth and maintenance, response to external stimuli, transcription regulation, transporter activity, endopeptidase inhibitor activity and G-protein mediated signaling. Host transcript profiles provide a foundation to understand variations in Brucella spp. infections, while structure of the macrophage response and intracellular niche of Brucella spp. will be revealed through piecewise consideration of host signaling pathways.
