Affymetrix Human Gene 1.0 ST Array (hugene10st)
Description
The p53 tumor suppressor is a DNA damage responsive sequence-specific transcriptional activator. The sustained activation of the p53 response is incompatible with cell growth and viability. To circumvent this issue, a variety of negative feedback loops exist to limit the duration of p53 activation. Despite our understanding of p53-regulation, very little is known about the effect of transient p53 activation on the long term expression of p53 target genes. Here we used a temperature sensitive variant of p53 and oligonucleotide microarrays to monitor gene expression during and following reversible p53 activation. The expression of most p53-induced transcripts was rapidly reversible, consistent with active mRNA decay. Representative 3UTRs derived from short-lived transcripts (i.e. DDB2 and GDF15) conferred instability on a heterologous mRNA while 3UTRs derived from more stable transcripts (i.e. CRYAB and TP53I3) did not. The 3UTRs derived from unstable p53-induced mRNAs were significantly longer than those derived from stable mRNAs. These 3UTRs had high uridine and low cytosine content, leading to a higher density of U-, AU- and GU-rich sequences. Remarkably, short-lived p53 targets were induced faster reaching maximum transcript levels earlier than the stable p53-targets. Taken together, the p53 transcriptional response has evolved with primarily short-lived target mRNAs and that post-transcription processes play a prominent role in the p53 response.

Description
We generate ZNF423 knockdown and control DAOY cells with lentivirus that co-expressed the fluorescent protein mCherry. We performed whole genome RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) of three batched of cultured ZNF423 KD or control KD cells. The sequence reads were analyzed by Homer followed by edgeR. The analyzed RNA-seq results showed differential expression profile including 12 known cilia genes, and 3 of these were validated with qRT-PCR on mouse granule cell precursors. This study proved data how ZNF423 linked to cilia complexes. Overall design: RNA-seq in three batched of control and ZNF423 KD cells(generated by lentivirus delivered shRNA targeting ZNF423 sequence).

Description
To investigate the relationship between histones, chaperone function, and cataracts, we performed RNA-seq, isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC), size-exclusion chromatography, and gel electrophoresis of histones. The RNA-seq of postnatal lenses from 2-day-old cryaa -R49C mice revealed increased histone gene expression, suggesting that a a-crystallin mutation regulates histones via a transcriptional mechanism . Overall design: RNA-seq studies on lenses of 2-day-old wild-type and 2-day-old cryaa-R49C heterozygous mutant and cryaa-R49C homozygous mutant knock-in mice; and 14-day old wild-type and 14-day-old cryab-R120G heterozygous mutant and cryab-R120G homozygous mutant knock-in mice

Description
Exposure to high levels of arsenic in drinking water is associated with several types of cancers including lung, bladder and skin, as well as vascular disease and diabetes. Drinking water standards are based primarily on epidemiology and extrapolation from higher dose experiments, rather than measurements of phenotypic changes associated with chronic exposure to levels of arsenic similar to the current standard of 10ppb, and little is known about the difference between arsenic in food as opposed to arsenic in water. Measurement of phenotypic changes at low doses may be confounded by the effect of laboratory diet, in part because of trace amounts of arsenic in standard laboratory chows, but also because of broad metabolic changes in response to the chow itself. Finally, this series contrasts 8hr, 1mg/kg injected arsenic with the various chronic exposures, and also contrasts the acute effects of arsenic, dexamethasone or their combination. Male C57BL/6 mice were fed on two commercially available laboratory diets (LRD-5001 and AIN-76A) were chronically exposed, through drinking water or food, to environmentally relevant concentrations of sodium arsenite, or acutely exposed to dexamethasone.

Description
Determining the spatial and temporal expression of genes involved in the ovulatory pathway is critical for the understanding of the role of each estrogen receptor in the modulation of folliculogenesis and ovulation. Estrogen receptor (ER) is highly expressed in ovarian granulosa cells and mice lacking ER (ERKO) are subfertile due to inefficient ovulation. Previous work has focused on isolated granulosa cells or cultured follicles and while informative, provides confounding results due to the heterogeneous cell types present including granulosa, theca and oocytes and exposure to in vitro conditions. Herein, we isolated preovulatory granulosa cells from WT and ER-null mice using laser capture microdissection to examine the genomic transcriptional response downstream of PMSG (mimicking FSH) and PMSG/hCG (mimicking LH) stimulation. This allows for a direct comparison of in vivo granulosa cells at the same stage of development from both WT and ER-null ovaries. ER-null granulosa cells showed altered expression of genes known to be regulated by FSH (Akap12 and Runx2) as well as not previously reported (Arnt2 and Pou5f1) in WT granulosa cells. Our analysis also identified 304 genes not previously associated with ER in granulosa cells. LH responsive genes including Abcb1b and Fam110c show reduced expression in ER-null granulosa cells; however novel genes including Rassf2 and Megf10 were also identified as being downstream of LH signaling in granulosa cells. Collectively, our data suggests that granulosa cells from ER-null ovaries may not be appropriately differentiated and are unable to respond properly to gonadotropin stimulation

Description
Soman (O-Pinacolyl methylphosphonofluoridate) is a potent neurotoxicant. Acute exposure to soman causes profound inhibition of the critical enzyme acetylcholinesterase, resulting in excessive levels of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. Excessive acetylcholine levels cause convulsions, seizures, and respiratory distress. The initial cholinergic crisis can be overcome by rapid anti-cholinergic therapeutic intervention, resulting in increased survival. However, conventional treatments do not protect the brain from seizure-related damage, and thus neurodegeneration of soman-sensitive areas of the brain is a potential post-exposure outcome. We performed gene expression profiling of rat hippocampus following soman exposure to gain greater insight into the molecular pathogenesis of soman-induced neurodegeneration.

Description
The transition of regularly cycling endometrium from the proliferative or Estrogen-dominant phase of the menstrual cycle to the Progesterone-dominant Early and Mid Secretory phases requires wide-spread changes in gene expression that shift the endometrium from a proliferative capacity to a differentiated 'decidual' phenotype in preparation for implantation. This process appears delayed in women with severe endometriosis, suggestive of a progesterone resistant endometrium in this disease.
