Affymetrix Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 Array (hgu133plus2)
Description
ARC (NSC 188491, SMA-491), 4-amino-6-hydrazino-7-beta-d-ribofuranosyl-7H-pyrrolo-(2,3-d)-pyrimidine-5-carboxamide, is a nucleoside analog with profound in vitro anti-cancer activity. First identified in a high-throughput screen for inhibitors of p21 mRNA expression, subsequent experiments showed that ARC also repressed expression of hdm2 and survivin, leading to its classification as a global inhibitor of transcription 1. The following Hu U133 plus 2.0 arrays represent single time point (24 hour) gene expression analysis of transcripts altered by ARC treatment. Arrays for the other compounds (sangivamycin and doxorubicin) are included as comparators.
Publication Title
ARC (NSC 188491) has identical activity to Sangivamycin (NSC 65346) including inhibition of both P-TEFb and PKC.

Description
This study is to identify downstream targets of homeobox gene CDX1. The study assayed the expression of 2 pairs of stably transfected colorectal cancer cell lines: The CDX1 nonexpressing CRC cell line HCT116 was stably transfected with either CDX1 cDNA in the pRC/CMV expression vector (HCT116-CDX1) or with vector control (HCT116-Vec). The CDX1-expressing CRC cell line LS174T was similarly transfected with either a pSilencer vector containing a short sequence of CDX1 siRNA (LS174T-siRNA) , or a pSilencer vector containing a scrambled siRNA sequence as a control (LS174T-Vec).

Description
Development of LNA gapmers, antisense oligonucleotides used for efficient inhibition of target RNA expression, is limited by non-target mediated hepatotoxicity issues. In the present study, we investigated hepatic transcription profiles of mice receiving non-toxic and toxic LNA gapmers after a single and repeat administration.

Description
Germline BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutations (mtBRCA1 and mtBRCA2) dramatically increase risk for high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC), the most commonly diagnosed histotype. Other risk factors for this cancer, which originates primarily in the distal fallopian tube epithelium (FTE), implicate ovulation. To test whether mtBRCA1 or mtBRCA2 FTE cells respond differently to peri-ovulatory follicular fluid (FF) exposure than control patient FTE, gene expression profiles from primary FTE cultures were compared at baseline, 24h after FF exposure, and 24h after FF replacement with culture medium. Hierarchical clustering revealed both FF exposure and BRCA mutation status affect gene expression, with BRCA1 mutation having the greatest impact. Analysis revealed increased NFB and EGFR signaling at baseline, with increased interferon signaling after recovery from FF exposure in mtBRCA1 samples. Inhibition of EGFR signaling and ISGylation by increased BRCA1 expression was verified in an immortalized FTE cell line, OE-E6/E7, stably transfected with BRCA1. Suppression of ISG15 and ISGylated protein levels by BRCA1 expression was found to be mediated by decreased NFB signaling and was transiently suppressed by FF exposure. This study demonstrates increased NFB signaling associated with decreased BRCA1 expression resulting in increased ISG15 and ISGylation following FF exposure, which could represent potential targets for chemoprevention.

Description
Xenograft models remain a cornerstone technology in the development of anti-cancer agents. The ability of immunocompromised rodents to support the growth of human tumors provides an invaluable transition between in vitro testing and clinical trials. Therefore, approaches to improve model selection are required. In this study, cDNA microarray data was generated for a collection of xenograft models at in vivo passages 1, 4 and 10 (P1, P4 and P10) along with originating cell lines (P0). These data can be mined to determine transcript expression 1) relative to other models 2) with successive in vivo passage and 3) during the in vitro (P0) to in vivo (P1) transition.

Description
Transcriptomic studies of human tumor xenografts are complicated by the presence of murine cellular mRNA. As such, it is useful to know the extent to which mouse mRNA cross-hybridizes to any given array platform. In this study, murine cDNA samples from diverse sources were hybridized to Affymetrix Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 Arrays. In this regard it is possible to identify specific probes that are potential targets of cross-species interference.

Description
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and primary lateral sclerosis are two syndromic variants within the motor neurone disease spectrum. Whilst primary lateral sclerosis is associated with loss of upper motor neurons and a more benign disease course up to 17yrs, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is caused by loss of both upper and lower motor neurons and has an average disease course of 2-3 years. The majority of cases are sporadic, thereby limiting the availability of cellular models for investigating pathogenic disease mechanisms.

Description
Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is a pleiotropic cytokine that plays a major role in responding to injury or infection as well as immune response, inflammation, and hematopoiesis. High levels of circulating IL-6 are observed in many tumor types and are associated with poor outcomes. We show that knockdown of IL-6 or IL-6 receptor (IL-6R) inhibits IL-6 signaling and cell viability. In contrast, over-expression of IL-6 enhances tumor growth in vitro and in vivo, thereby supporting the role of IL-6 in tumorigenesis. We developed a human monoclonal antibody against human IL-6 (MEDI5117) that bears Fc mutations (YTE) to extend its half-life. We tested this antibody in several cancer cell lines that secrete high levels of IL-6, soluble IL-6R, and express gp130. High constitutive pSTAT3 (phosphorylated signal transducer and activator of transcription 3) activation is seen in several of these cell lines, suggesting autocrine growth stimulation by IL-6. Treating these cell lines with MEDI5117 effectively blocked phosphorylation of STAT3 and inhibited IL-6-induced cell proliferation. In vivo, MEDI5117 suppressed the growth of multiple cancer xenograft models and specifically modulated IL-6 signaling and downstream gene expression. Combining MEDI5117 with chemotherapy or gefitinib demonstrated significantly enhanced anti-tumor activities in vivo. Taken together, our data suggest that IL-6 signaling contributes to tumor growth, thereby supporting the development of MEDI5117 as a therapy to treat solid tumors.

Description
Gene expression profiling has been performed on motor cortex and spinal cord homogenates and of sporadic ALS cases and controls, to identify genes and pathways differentially expressed in ALS. More recent studies have combined the use of laser capture microdissection (LCM) with gene expression profiling to isolate the motor neurons from the surrounding cells, such as microglia and astrocytes, in order to determine those genes differentially expressed in the vulnerable cell population i.e. motor neuron.
