Affymetrix Human Genome U133A Array (hgu133a)
Description
Medulloblastoma is the most common form of malignant paediatric brain tumour and is the leading cause of childhood cancer related mortality. The four molecular subgroups of medulloblastoma that have been identified WNT, SHH, Group 3 and Group 4 - have molecular and topographical characteristics suggestive of different cells of origin. Definitive identification of the cell(s) of origin of the medulloblastoma subgroups, particularly the poorer prognosis Group 3 and Group 4 medulloblastoma, is critical to understand the pathogenesis of the disease, and ultimately for the development of more effective treatment options.

Description
We compared the gene expression profile from a group of children with T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukamia who remained in continuous complete remission (CCR) (n = 7) with that from a group who relapsed (n = 5), using Affymetrix HG-U133A arrays. Using the decision-tree based supervised learning algorithm Random Forest (RF), genes were ranked with respect to their ability to discriminate between patients who remained in CCR and those who relapsed. From the 300 top-ranked probe sets 9 genes were selected for further investigation and validation in an independent cohort of 25 T-ALL patients using quantitative real time polymerase chain reaction.

Description
MgrR is a newly characterized Hfq dependent small RNA RNA. The expression of MgrR is regulated by Two component system, PhoPQ regulon, which senses low Mg2+ in environment. It has been reported that Hfq-binding sRNAs base pair with target RNAs, frequently leading to rapid degradation of target messages or, less frequently, to stabilization, both of which can be assayed by using microarrays. In order to search for the target genes of MgrR, we therefore examined the consequences of MgrR expression on mRNA abundance under two conditions. In condition 1, the chromosomal copy of mgrR was deleted and MgrR was expressed for 15 from an induced plac-mgrR plasmid and compared to cells carrying a vector induced for the same period. In condition 2, the expression of mRNAs was compared in wild-type cells (mgrR+) and the mgrR deletion strain, both grown in LB; because MgrR levels are fairly high under our normal growth conditions, this allowed analysis of both the direct and indirect (long-term) effects of MgrR.

Description
Preparation of exosomes isolated from semen contain a substantial amount of RNA, mostly from 20 to 100 nucleotides in length. We sequenced separately 20-40 and 40-100 nucleotide fractions of RNA from exosomes isolated from semenal fluid from six healthy donors. We found various classes of small non-coding RNA, including mature microRNA and piwi-RNA, as well as abundant Y RNAs and tRNAs present in both full length and fragmented forms. Specific RNAs were consistently present in all donors. For example, fifteen (of ~2,600 known) microRNAs constituted over 80% of mature microRNA in SE. Additionally, tRNA fragments were strongly enriched for 5’-ends of 18-19 or 30-34 nucleotides in length. Overall design: Size-fractionated small RNA profiles from exosomes isolated from the seminal fluid of six healthy donors
Publication Title
Exosomes in human semen carry a distinctive repertoire of small non-coding RNAs with potential regulatory functions.

Description
The adoptive transfer of chimeric antigen receptor- (CAR) modified T cells is revolutionizing the treatment of B cell malignancies and has the potential to be applied to other diseases. CARs redirect T cell specificity by linking an antigen recognition domain to T cell signaling modules comprised of CD3z to provide signal 1, and CD28 or 4-1BB to provide costimulation. CD28/CD3z and 4-1BB/CD3z CARs confer differences in effector function and cell fate that affect clinical efficacy and toxicity. These differences may result from activation of divergent transcriptional programs. To gain this insight, we analyzed changes in gene expression in stimulated and resting CD28/CD3z or 4-1BB/CD3z CAR T cells. CD28/CD3z CAR stimulation initiated more marked early transcriptional changes with greater fold increases in the expression of effector molecules including GZMB, IFNG, IL2, TNF, and IL6. Direct comparison of CD28/CD3z and 4-1BB/CD3z samples stimulated for 6 hours identified 1,673 differentially expressed genes. Of these, the memory T cell-associated genes KLF2, IL7R, and FAM65B were expressed at lower levels in CD28/CD3z CAR T cells. KLF2 and IL7R are FOXO transcription factor family targets and we found that FOXO4 expression was similarly reduced in CD28/CD3z CAR T cells. CD28/CD3z CAR stimulation induces an effector T cell-like transcriptional profile that may underlie the decreased persistence and increased risks of toxicities observed with CD28/CD3z CAR T cells in early clinical trials. Overall design: Purified CD28/CD3z and 4-1BB/CD3z CAR T cells were prepared from healthy donors and stimulated by incubation with anti-CAR beads, or left unstimulated by incubation with control beads. Total RNA was harvested 6 or 24 hours after treatment. Three biological replicates for each treatment condition were prepared, yielding 24 total samples for analysis. A42 and A44 denote 4-1BB/CD3z CARs, A43 and A45 denote CD28/CD3z CARs.

Description
Transcription termination factor Rho is essential in enterobacteria. We inhibited Rho activity with bicyclomycin and used microarray experiments to assess Rho function on a genome-wide scale. Rho is a global regulator of gene expression that matches E. coli transcription to translational needs. Remarkably, genes that are most repressed by Rho are prophages and other horizontally-acquired portions of the genome. Elimination of these foreign DNA elements increases resistance to bicyclomycin. Although rho remains essential, such reduced-genome bacteria no longer require Rho cofactors NusA and NusG. Thus, Rho termination, supported by NusA and NusG, is required to suppress the toxic activity of foreign DNA.

Termination factor Rho and its cofactors NusA and NusG silence foreign DNA in E. coli.
