Affymetrix E. coli Genome 2.0 Array (ecoli2)
Description
Our laboratory has recently discovered that E. coli cells starved for the DNA precursor dGTP are killed efficiently (dGTP starvation) in a manner similar to that described for Thymineless Death (TLD). Conditions for specific dGTP starvation can be achieved by depriving an E. coli optA1 gpt strain of the purine nucleotide precursor hypoxanthine (Hx). To gain insight into the mechanisms underlying dGTP starvation, we conducted genome-wide gene expression analyses on actively growing optA1 gpt strains subjected to hypoxanthine deprivation for increasing periods of time. The data show that, upon Hx withdrawal, the optA1 gpt strain displays a diminished ability to de-repress the de novo purine biosynthesis genes, and this is likely due to internal guanine accumulation. The impairment to fully induce the purR regulon may be a contributing factor to the lethality of dGTP starvation. At later time points, and coinciding with cell lethality, strong induction of the SOS is observed, supporting the concept of replication stress as a final cause of death. No evidence was observed for the participation of other stress responses, including the rpoS-mediated global stress response in the starved cells, and reinforcing the lack of feedback of replication stress into the global metabolism of the cell. The genome-wide expression data also provide direct evidence for increased genome complexity during dGTP starvation, as a markedly increased gradient is observed for expression of genes located nearby the replication origin relative to those located towards the replication terminus.

Description
The PAR-domain basic leucine zipper (PAR bZip) transcription factors DBP, TEF, and HLF accumulate in a highly circadian manner in several peripheral tissues, including liver and kidney. Mice devoid of all three of these proteins are born at expected Mendelian ratios, but are epilepsy-prone, age at an accelerated rate and die prematurely. In the hope of identifying PAR bZip target genes whose altered expression might contribute to the high morbidity and mortality of PAR bZip triple knockout mice, we compared the liver and kidney transcriptomes of these animals to those of wild-type or heterozygous mutant mice. These experiments revealed that PAR bZip proteins control the expression of many enzymes and regulators involved in detoxification and drug metabolism, such as cytochrome P450 enzymes, carboxylesterases, and constitutive androstane receptor (CAR). Indeed, PAR bZip triple knockout mice are hypersensitive to xenobiotic compounds, and the deficiency in detoxification may contribute to their early ageing.

Description
Studies investigating the causes of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) point to genetic as well as epigenetic mechanisms of the disease. Identification of epigenetic processes that contribute to ASD development and progression is of major importance and may lead to the development of novel therapeutic strategies. Here we identify the bromodomain and extra-terminal domain containing transcriptional regulators (BETs) as epigenetic drivers of an ASD-like disorder in mice. We found that the pharmacological suppression of the BET proteins by a novel, highly selective and brain-permeable inhibitor, I-BET858, leads to selective suppression of neuronal gene expression followed by the development of an autism-like syndrome in mice. Many of the I-BET858 affected genes have been linked to ASD in humans thus suggesting the key role of the BET-controlled gene network in ASD. Our studies also suggest that environmental factors controlling BET proteins or their target genes may contribute to the epigenetic mechanism of ASD.

Description
Purpose: Seek for differential gene expression in vemurafenib-resistant A375 tumors vs. untreated controls to provide a rationale for resistance mechanism Methods: mRNA profiles of vemurafenib-resistant A375 tumors and untreated control tumors were generated by transcriptome sequencing of A375 melanoma bearing mice. Since our xenograft samples contain a mixture of human and mouse RNAs we mapped RNASeq reads against a hybrid human/mouse genome. We than removed reads of potential mouse origin by taking only reads that map uniquely to human chromosomes. On average 23% of reads were removed as potential mouse reads. We than took the remaining reads (on average 77% per sample) to determine the gene expression levels for each sample. Normalized expression levels of 5 resistant samples were compared to 4 untreated control samples to detect differnetially regulated genes which may contribute to vemurfenib resistance Results: Expression levels of several genes were consistently altered in all resistant samples. Expression of e.g. genes encoding SPRY2, SPRY4, DUSP6, CCND1, PIK3R3, FGFR1, EPHA4, MCL1, and IGF1R was down-regulated, whereas expression of PDGFC, VEGFC, ABCB9 and KITLG was increased. Conclusions: Our study reports several differentially expressed genes which may contribute to vemurafenib resistance in A375 tumor bearing mice Overall design: RNA sequencing of genes expressed in A375 tumors bearing mice treated with vemurafenib until in vivo resistance appeared vs. untreated A375 tumors

- Affymetrix Soybean Genome Array (soybean)
Description
The autoregulation of mycorrhization (AOM) describes a plant regulatory mechanism that limits the number of infection events by arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi. The key signal mediator is a receptor kinase (GmNARK) that acts in the shoots. Early signals of the mycorrhizal symbiosis induce a root-derived signal that activates GmNARK in the shoot finally leading to a systemic repression of subsequent infections in the root. So far, less is known about the signals down-stream of GmNARK. To find genes regulated by GmNARK in a mycorrhiza-dependent as well as in a mycorrhiza-independent manner, we used the Affymetrix GeneChip for soybean. In general, mycorrhizal root systems consist of both colonized and non-colonized, but autoregulated roots. To physically separate those two root types for transcript analysis of specifically regulated genes, we used the split-root system. Transcript profiling during AOM was done with material of Bragg wild-type and of the nark mutant nts1007, either non-inoculated or partially inoculated with the mycorrhizal fungus Rhizophagus irregularis (formerly Glomus intraradices). Wild-type and nark mutants were inoculated with R. irregularis on one half of the root-systems (root-parts "A") only. The remaining half of the root-systems stayed non-infected (root-parts "B"). Corresponding controls stayed completely non-infected. Gene expression was analyzed in inoculated root-parts, non-inoculated root-parts and shoots of three individual plants per treatment. ****[PLEXdb(http://www.plexdb.org) has submitted this series at GEO on behalf of the original contributor, Sara Schaarschmidt.

Description
In chicks, the avian homologue of the early growth response protein-1 (ZENK) has been shown to be increased in a special cell type of the retina, the glucagonergic amacrine cells, under conditions that lead to a reduction in eye growth (myopic defocus, recovery of myopia) and decreased under conditions that enhance ocular growth (hyperopic defocus, form-deprivation). The investigation of Egr-1 knock-out mice showed that homozygous knock-out mice with no functional Egr-1 protein developed relative axial myopia at the age of 42 and 56 days, compared to heterozygous- and wildtype Egr-1 knock-out mice.
