Description
We applied previously established in silico whole-embryo body (WB)-subtraction-based approach to identify “lens-enriched” genes. These new RNA-seq datasets on embryonic stages E10.5, E12.5, E14.5 and E16.5 confirmed high expression of established cataract-linked genes and identified several new potential regulators in the lens. Finally, we present lens stage-specific UCSC Genome Brower annotation-tracks; these are publicly accessible through iSyTE (https://research.bioinformatics.udel.edu/iSyTE/) and enable a user-friendly visualization of lens gene expression/enrichment to help prioritize genes from high-throughput data from cataract cases. Overall design: RNA-sequencing datasets of microdissected embyonic eye lens samples from stages embryonic day E10.5, E12.5, E14.5 and E16.5 were generated. To estimate lens enriched genes we generated control “whole-embryo body (WB)” datasets. The lens enriched genes were used for enrichment level based clustering to identify gene clusters exhibiting distinct lens enrichment patterns across E10.5 to E16.5 developmental window. This new lens RNA-seq data and its accessibility through iSyTE 2.0 serves as a new integrative resource for prioritization of lens defects and/or cataract-linked candidate genes identified by other high-throughput analyses such as exome-seq and GWAS.

Description
In this study, using a Patient Derived Xenograft (PDX) system established by transplanting primary tumors from pre-metastatic breast cancer patients we demonstrate that development of distant organ metastases correlates with the presence of Bone Marrow Disseminated Tumor Cells (BM DTCs) in the PDX mice. Comparative gene expression analysis of bone marrow (BM) from tumor bearing PDX mice which developed metastatic disease was carried out with BM from non-tumor bearing controls.

Description
Histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACIs) interfere with the epigenetic process of histone acetylation and are known to have analgesic properties in models of chronic inflammatory pain. The aim of this study was to determine whether these compounds could also affect neuropathic pain. Different class I HDACIs were delivered intrathecally into rat spinal cord in models of traumatic nerve injury and antiretroviral drug-induced peripheral neuropathy (stavudine, d4T). Mechanical and thermal hypersensitivity was attenuated by 40% to 50% as a result of HDACI treatment, but only if started before any insult. The drugs globally increased histone acetylation in the spinal cord, but appeared to have no measurable effects in relevant dorsal root ganglia in this treatment paradigm, suggesting that any potential mechanism should be sought in the central nervous system. Microarray analysis of dorsal cord RNA revealed the signature of the specific compound used (MS-275) and suggested that its main effect was mediated through HDAC1. Taken together, these data support a role for histone acetylation in the emergence of neuropathic pain.

Description
To understand the role of MiT in Drosophila, we set out to identify critical gene targets by looking at changes in the WT transcriptome induced by either gain or loss of MiT function. Mutant hindgut and malpighian tubules provided loss-of function tissue and nub-Gal4-driven expression of MiT in the wing epithelium was used for gain-of-function. In the wing disc experiment, 543 genes were upregulated by exogenous MiT, and 359 genes were downregulated (>1.4 fold; P value < 0.01). In the larval HG+MT, 897 genes were downregulated and 898 were upregulated (>1.4 fold; P value < 0.01) after MiT. Among these genes, 85 were both upregulated in wing discs and downregulated in mutant HG+MT, and are the common genes that regulated by MiT in both tissues.

Description
Microphthalmia-associated transcription factor (MITF) is the master regulator of the melanocyte lineage. By tandem affinity purification and mass spectrometry, we present a comprehensive characterisation of the MITF interactome comprising multiple novel cofactors involved in transcription, DNA replication and repair and chromatin organisation, including a BRG1 chromatin remodelling complex comprising CHD7. BRG1 is essential for melanoma cell proliferation in vitro and for normal melanocyte development in vivo. MITF and SOX10 actively recruit BRG1 to a set of MITF-associated regulatory elements (MAREs) at active enhancers. MITF, SOX10 and YY1 bind between two BRG1-occupied nucleosomes thus defining both a combinatorial signature of transcription factors essential for the melanocyte lineage and a specific chromatin organisation of MAREs. Nevertheless, BRG1 silencing enhances MITF occupancy at MAREs showing that BRG1 acts to promote dynamic MITF interactions with chromatin. Overall design: 19 samples corresponding to mRNA profiles of 501Mel and Hermes3A after MITF, BRG1 or control shRNA-mediated knockdown were generated by deep sequencing in triplicate (in duplicate for 501_shMITF and corresponding control 501_shSCR2), using HiSeq2500.

Description
mRNA expression in the spinal cords of the G93A-SOD1 familial ALS transgenic mouse model was compared to that in nontransgenic (Normal mouse) and transgenic mice expressing wild-type (WT)SOD1. Gene Ontology (GO)analysis was used to characterize differences in expression between G93A-SOD1 mouse and nontransgenic mouse spinal cord. Changes in multiple GO categories were found. Many of these were associated with subsystems involving cell-cell communication and intracellular signal transduction. Expression profiles of mice expressing WT-SOD1 did not differ from nontransgenic mice. In contrast, protein profiling using proteomics technology indicated changes in mitochondrial protein expression in the G93A-SOD1 mouse spinal cord that were not found in the mRNA expression analysis.

Description
Introduction: Mechanisms that contribute to the pathogenesis of liver damage caused by hepatitis C virus (HCV) are not fully understood. Our previous work on liver biopsies from chronic HCV patients has shown modulation of the expression of certain cell cycle proteins indicating HCV-induced modifications of cell cycle events. We therefore hypothesize that HCV infection disrupts normal regulation of cell cycle that contributes to disease progression. Objective: To identify molecular disruptions during the course of HCV-associated disease progression, using liver biopsy specimens of chronic hepatitis C patients. Methods: Liver biopsy samples classified on histological basis as early (fibrosis stage 0-1) or advanced (fibrosis stage 3-4) disease stage were studied using oligonucleotide array ( HG U133 Plus 2.0, Affymetrix GeneChip System). For comparison, liver specimens from patients with non-viral hepatitis were also analyzed by microarray. Expression data was analyzed using Genespring (GX 7.2) and Ingenuity Pathway analysis (3.0). The differential expression of selected cell cycle genes (cyclin D2, KPNA2, HERC5 and Bcl-2) identified after microarray analysis was confirmed by quantitative real-time RT-PCR. Results: Microarray analysis revealed two-fold or greater transcriptional change in 792 genes of the total 38,500 known human genes in HCV-advance disease stage (HCV-A) as compared to HCV-early disease stage (HCV-E). Most of the genes have a defined role in immune response, extracellular matrix and cell cycle and apoptosis.
