Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a highly prevalent and deadly disease world-wide. The survival of HCC patients is usually very poor due to the lack of efficient anti-cancer drugs

We performed a microarray analysis to get insights into the differentially regulated pathways between WT and KO under inflammatory conditions.

View SamplesAutoantibodies that arise in autoimmunity can be present years to decades prior to the onset of disease manifestations. This suggests that the initial autoimmune trigger involves a peripheral lymphoid component, which then drives disease pathology in local tissues later in life. To explore the impact of early peripheral immune dysregulation on the progression of Sjgrens Syndrome, we blocked the CD40-CD40L pathway in young female NOD.H-2h4 mice at 4 weeks of age with a single injection of anti-CD40L antibody, and collected total salivary gland at the age of week 8, 16 and 24. RNA was extracted and submitted to transcriptome profiling using Affymetrix microarray.
Autoimmune manifestations in aged mice arise from early-life immune dysregulation.

View SamplesThe bovine chromaffin cell (BCC) is a unique modela highly homogeneous and accessible neuroendocrine cellin which to study gene regulation through first messenger-initiated signaling pathways that are specific to post-mitotic cells. BCCs were treated with tumor necrosis factor (TNF) or pituitary adenylate cyclase activating polypeptide (PACAP), two critical regulators of neural cell transcriptional programming during inflammation that act on TNFR2 and PAC1 receptors, respectively, in post-mitotic neuroendocrine cells. Transcripts which were significantly up regulated by either or both first messenger were identified from microarray analysis using two bovine oligonucleotide arrays (Affymetrix and Agilent) followed by statistical analysis with Partek Genomic suite. Microarray data were combined from the two arrays using qRT-PCR sampling validation, and the first-messenger transcriptome derived from TNF and PACAP signaling were compared. More than 90 percent of the genes up regulated either by TNF or PACAP were specific to a single first messenger. BioBase suite, DIRE and Opossum were used to identify common promoter/enhancer response elements that control the expression of TNF- or PACAP-stimulated genes. Bioinformatic analysis revealed that distinct groups of transcription factors control the expression of genes up regulated by either TNF or PACAP . Most of the genes up regulated by TNF contained response elements for members of the Rel transcription factor family, suggesting TNF-TNFR2 signaling mainly through the NF-kB signaling pathway. On the other hand, the PACAP regulated genes showed no enrichment for any single response element, containing instead response elements for combinations of transcription factors allowing activation through multiple signaling pathways, including cAMP, calcium and ERK, in neuroendocrine cells. Pharmacological strategies for mimicking neuroprotection by either PACAP or TNF in the context of CNS injury or degeneration in disease might focus on individual downstream gene activation pathways to achieve greater specificity in vivo.

View SamplesRhesus monkey extraocular muscle. Data set includes: (a) whole medial and lateral rectus muscle and (b) global and orbital muscle layers separately microdissected using a Leica LSM. All samples were expression profiled here using the Affymetrix human U133 A&B arrays. Data form part of publication: Investigative Ophthalmology and Visual Science 45, 2004.
Genome-wide transcriptional profiles are consistent with functional specialization of the extraocular muscle layers.
