Affymetrix Mouse Genome 430 2.0 Array (mouse4302)
Description
MEN1 is a tumor suppressor gene loss of which causes lipoma (fatty tumors under the skin) and many other endocrine and non-endocrine tumors. It's target genes in fat cells (adipocytes) are unknown. Gene expression in adipocytes that were in vitro differentiated from mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs) of Men1-nul l(Men1-KO) and WT mice were compared to assess the expression of genes upon menin loss in adipocytes that could lead to the deveopment of lipoma.

Description
Hlxb9 is a differentiation factor important for neuronal, and pancreatic beta cell differentiation. It is a transcription factor that represses transcription. It's target genes are unknown. The mouse pancreatic beta cell line MIN6 was used to assess the expression of genes de-repressed upon Hlxb9 knockdown.
Publication Title
The embryonic transcription factor Hlxb9 is a menin interacting partner that controls pancreatic β-cell proliferation and the expression of insulin regulators.

Description
The Her-2/Neu-positive mouse breast cancer cell line was serially co-cultured with minced brain, bone marrow, and lung tissue in an intravital microscopy chamber mounted on the dorsal skinfold of nude mice, alternating with growth in vitro. Gene expression analysis was performed on the cells grown in culture after sorting and further growth in vitro. Gene expression under these growth conditions differed in time and according to the co-cultivated organ tissue. This study reveals genes that are expressed by cells as they adapt differentially to various foreign tissue microenvironments, and may represent a paradigm to discover gene expression changes that occur immediately upon extravasation when cancer metastasizes.

Description
Multiple division cycles without growth are a characteristic feature of early embryogenesis. The female germline deposits proteins and RNAs into oocytes to support these divisions, which lack many of the quality control mechanisms operating in somatic cells undergoing growth. How the composition of the oocyte maternal load is regulated to ensure its ability to support early embryogenesis is not known. Here we describe a small RNA-Argonaute pathway, operating in the C. elegans germline, that ensures early embryonic divisions by employing catalytic slicing activity to broadly tune, instead of silence, germline gene expression. Misregulation of one target, a kinesin-13 microtubule depolymerase, underlies a major embryonic phenotype associated with pathway loss. Tuning of target expression is guided by small RNA density, which must ultimately be related to target sequence. Thus, C. elegans employs a single catalytic Argonaute for small RNA-mediated tuning of the mRNA levels of germline-expressed genes that support early embryogenesis. Overall design: mRNA profiling of 2 replicates each for 3 genotypes of adult-stage C. elegans worms

Description
We studied changes in a whole transcriptome during dsDNA virus infection. Overall design: Fibroblasts (MRC5 & HFF) and epithelial cells (ARPE19) were infected with HCMV, HSV1 or Ad5 and total RNA was isolated at 48, 9, or 24 hpi, respectively. Total 15 treatments were used. There were 2 biological replicates analyzed per each treatment.

Description
By survival analysis of breast cancer patients, JMJD6 was found to be significantly associated with poor prognosis. Over-expression and knock-down of JMJD6 in breast cancer cell lines suggested a role in proliferation. In order to study the transcriptional events that occur following JMJD6 expression changes, siRNA-mediated knock-down of JMJD6 was performed in MCF-7 and MDA-MB231 and stable over-expression of JMJD6 was performed in MCF-7.

Description
Mast cells, activated by antigen via the high affinity receptor for IgE (FcRI), release an array of pro-inflammatory mediators that contribute to allergic disorders such as asthma and anaphylaxis. The KIT ligand, stem cell factor (SCF), is critical for mast cell expansion, differentiation and survival, and, under acute conditions, enhances mast cell activation. However, extended SCF exposure in vivo conversely protects against fatal antigen-mediated anaphylaxis. In investigating this dichotomy, we identified a novel mode of regulation of the mast cell activation phenotype through SCF-mediated programming. We found that mouse bone marrow-derived mast cells chronically exposed to SCF displayed a marked attenuation of FcRI-mediated degranulation and cytokine production. The hypo-responsive phenotype was not a consequence of altered signals regulating calcium flux or protein kinase C, but of ineffective cytoskeletal reorganization, with evidence implicating a down-regulation of expression of the Src kinase Hck. Collectively, these findings demonstrate a major role for SCF in the homeostatic control of mast cell activation with potential relevance to mast cell-driven disease and the development of novel approaches for the treatment of allergic disorders.

Description
Aneuploidy, a state of karyotype imbalance, is a hallmark of cancer. Changes in chromosome copy number have been proposed to drive disease by modulating the dosage of cancer driver genes and by promoting cancer genome evolution. Given the potential of cells with abnormal karyotypes to become cancerous, do pathways exist that limit the prevalence of such cells? By investigating the immediate consequences of aneuploidy on cell physiology, we identified mechanisms that eliminate aneuploid cells. We find that chromosome mis-segregation leads to replication stress, generating further genomic instability, increased karyotype complexity, and ultimately cell cycle arrest. Cells with complex karyotypes exhibit features of senescence and a pro-inflammatory response that promotes their clearance by the immune system. We propose that cells with abnormal karyotypes generate a signal for their own elimination that might well be a source of cancer cell immunosurveillance that must be overcome during malignant transformation. Overall design: Assay the transcriptional impact of aneuploidy by comparing the transcriptomes Euploid control RPE-1 cells in Aneuploid cycling RPE-1 cells and Aneuploid arrested RPE-1 cells using RNA-Seq.
