Description
We performed gene expression microarray analysis of the hypothalamic response to starvation in neonatal wild-type mice, and in Snord116del mice that are a mouse model for PWS. This study is motivated by the neonatal feeding problems observed in several genetic diseases including Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS). Later in life, individuals with PWS develop hyperphagia and obesity due to lack of appetite control. We hypothesize that failure to thrive in infancy and later-onset hyperphagia may be related and could be due to a defect in the hypothalamus. In this study, we performed gene expression microarray analysis of the hypothalamic response to starvation in neonatal wild-type mice, and in Snord116del mice that are a mouse model for PWS. The neonatal starvation response was dramatically different from that reported in adult rodents. Genes that are affected by adult starvation are not changed in the hypothalamus of 5 day-old pups that were starved for 6 hrs. Unlike in adult rodents, expression levels of Nanos2 and Pdk4 were increased, and those of Pgpep1, Ndph, Brms1l, Mett10d, and Snx1 were decreased after fasting. In addition, we compared hypothalamic gene expression profiles at days 5 and 13 to document developmental changes. Notably, the gene expression profiles of Snord116del deletion mice and wild-type littermates were very similar at both postnatal days 5 and 13, and after starvation.

Description
The CMVpp65 protein contains 2 bipartite nuclear localization signals (NLS) at 415-438aa and 537-561aa near the carboxy terminus of CMVpp65 and a phosphate binding site related to kinase activity at lysine-436. A mutation of pp65 having K436N (CMVpp65mII) and further deletion of aa537-561 resulted in a novel protein (pp65mIINLSKO) that is kinase-less and has markedly reduced nuclear localization. The purpose of this report was to study the biologic characterization of this protein and its immunogenicity compared to native pp65.Using RNA microarray analysis, expression of the CMVpp65mIINLSKO had less effect on cell cycle pathways than did the native CMVpp65 and a greater effect on cell surface signalling pathways involving immune activity. It is concluded that the removal of the primary NLS motif from pp65 does not impair its immunogenicity and may actually be advantageous in the design of a vaccine.

Description
Two rat hepatic cell lines, WB-F344 and WB311, were characterized for the effect of rapamycin on gene expression. The WB311 cell line, which is tumorigenic and resistant to the growth inhibitory effects of rapamycin, was originally derived from the WB-F344 parental hepatic epithelial cell line. The goal of this experiment was to identify genes that responded to rapamycin in the sensitive cells but not the resistant cells, thereby providing insight into the mechanism of rapamycin resistance.

Illumina HiSeq 2000
Description
strand specific sequencing of RNAs from MAoECs to determine the endothelial-specific expression profile of protein-coding and long non-coding RNAs Overall design: Total RNA was isolated from cultured MAoECs (passage 4) and processed for a strand-specific RNA sequencing. The RNA purity and integrity were assessed using the Fragment Analyzer Automated CE System (Advanced Analytical). A RQN of 8.8 and a 28S/18S ratio of 2.2 were considered acceptable for next generation sequencing assay. Five µg of DNase-treated RNA were used to prepare Massive Analysis of cDNA ends (MACE) libraries needed to perform a DNA-Methylation-Sequencing (Meth-Seq) PCR bias free quantification with TrueQuant Technology, followed by a high-throughput sequencing on the Illumina Genome Analyzer II system (GenXPro GmbH, Frankfurt, Germany). The procedure consist in the extraction of poly-adenylated RNA from 5 µg RNA and reverse transcribed with biotinylated poly(T) primers. cDNA is fragmented to an average size of 250 bp. Biotinylated ends are captured by streptavidin beads and ligated to modified adapters (TrueQuant DNA adapter, GenXPro). The libraries are amplified by PCR, purified by SPRI beads and sequenced (2 x 100 bp Illumina HiSeq2000 TrueSeq, 2 x 20 Mio. Reads poly-A selected paired-end reads). Paired end sequencing of both DNA strands from each end is required for fragment strand specificity.

Description
Human lymphoblastoid cell lines (EBV-immortalised B cells, LcL) obtained from subjects of different age (young 28-40 years, centenarians >95 years) were analysed for gene expression at basal culture conditions and after 48 hours of serum starvation. Lymphoid B cells from centenarians were more resistant to apoptosis induction and displayed a more developed lysosomal compartment, the most critical component of phagic machinery. In addition, cells from centenarians were capable of engulfing and digesting other cells, i.e. their siblings (even entire cells). This behavior was improved by nutrient deprivation, but strikingly, it was unaffected by the autophagy-modulating drugs rapamycin, an autophagy inducer, and 3-methyladenine, an autophagy inhibitor.
