Affymetrix Human Genome U133A Array (hgu133a)
Description
Doxorubicin is considered one of the most potent established chemotherapeutics in the treatment of liposarcoma; however, the response rates usually below 30%, are still disappointing. This study was performed to identify gene expression changes in liposarcoma after doxorubicin treatment. Cells of 19 primary human liposarcoma were harvested intraoperatively and brought into cell culture. Cells were incubated with doxorubicin for 24 h, RNA was isolated and differential gene expression was analysed by the microarray technique.

Description
This study was performed to identify gene expression differences in not otherwise specified soft tissue sarcomas (NOS, malignant fibrous histiocytomas) and correlate them to histological findings and the clinical course. RNA was isolated and differential gene expression was analysed by the microarray technique.

Description
We assessed the apoptotic and antiproliferative effects of resveratrol, pycnogenol and its metabolites on HT1080 human fibrosarcoma cells in vitro. Viability, apoptosis and necrosis were quantified by FACS analysis (Propidiumiodide/AnnexinV staining). Gene expression was analysed by RNA-Microarray. Cell proliferation was analysed by BrdU ELISA assay.

Description
The role of the beta2 adrenergic receptor (2AR) after stroke is unclear as pharmacological manipulations of the 2AR have produced contradictory results. We previously showed that mice deficient in the 2AR (2KO) had smaller infarcts compared to wild-type mice (FVB) after middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO), a model of stroke. To elucidate mechanisms of this neuroprotection, we evaluated changes in gene expression using microarrays comparing differences before and after MCAO, and differences between genotypes. Genes associated with inflammation and cell death were enriched after MCAO in both genotypes, and we identified several genes not previously shown to increase following ischemia (Ccl9, Gem, and Prg4). In addition to networks that were similar between genotypes, one network with a central node of G protein-coupled receptor and including biological functions carbohydrate metabolism, small molecule biochemistry and inflammation was identified in FVB mice but not in 2KO mice. Analysis of differences between genotypes revealed 11 genes differentially expressed by genotype in all conditions. We demonstrate greater Glo1 protein levels and lower Pmaip/Noxa mRNA levels in 2KO mice. As both genes are implicated in NFB signaling, we measured p65 activity and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF) levels 24h after MCAO. MCAO-induced p65 activation and post-ischemic TNF production were both greater in FVB compared to 2KO mice. These results suggest that loss of 2AR signaling results in a neuroprotective phenotype in part due to decreased NFB signaling, decreased inflammation, and decreased apoptotic signaling in the brain.

Description
Hepatocyte nuclear factor-4 (HNF4, NR2A1) is a nuclear receptor which has a critical role in hepatocyte differentiation and the maintenance of homeostasis in the adult liver. However, a detailed understanding of native HNF4 in the steady state remains to be elucidated. Here we report the native HNF4 isoforms, phosphorylation status and complexes in the steady state, as shown by shotgun proteomics in HepG2 hepatocarcinoma cells. Shotgun proteomic analysis revealed the complexity of native HNF4, including multiple phosphorylation sites and inter-isoform heterodimerization. The associating complexes identified by label-free semi-quantitative proteomic analysis include the following: the DNA-dependent protein kinase catalytic subunit, histone acetyltransferase complexes, mRNA splicing complex, other nuclear receptor coactivator complexes, the chromatin remodeling complex, and the nucleosome remodeling and histone deacetylation complex. Among the associating proteins, GRB10 interacting GYF protein 2 (GIGYF2, PERQ2) is a new candidate cofactor in metabolic regulation. Moreover, an unexpected heterodimerization of HNF4 and Hepatocyte nuclear factor-4 was found. A biochemical and genome-wide analysis of transcriptional regulation showed that this heterodimerization activates gene transcription. The genes thus transcribed include the cell death-inducing DEF45-like effector b (CIDEB) gene, which is an important regulator of lipid metabolism in the liver. This suggests that the analysis of the distinctive stoichiometric balance of native HNF4 and its cofactor complexes described here is important for an accurate understanding of transcriptional regulation.
