We performed global scale microarray analysis to identify detailed mechanisms by which nonpermissive temperature induces cell growth arrest and differentiation in astrocyte RCG-12 cells harboring temperature-sensitive simian virus 40 large T-antigen by using an Affymetrix GeneChip system. Astrocyte RCG-12 cells used in this study were derived from primary cultured rat cortical glia cells infecting with a temperature-sensitive simian virus 40 large T-antigen. Although the cells grew continuously at the permissive temperature, the nonpermissive temperature led to cell growth arrest and differentiation. Of the 15,923 probe sets analyzed, nonpermissive temperature differentially expressed 556 probe sets by >2.0-fold.

View SamplesThe early blood vessels of the embryo and yolk sac in mammals develop by aggregation of de novo forming angioblasts into a primitive vascular plexus, which then undergoes a complex remodeling process. Angiogenesis is also important for disease progression in the adult. However, the precise molecular mechanism of vascular development remains unclear.

View SamplesProstate cancer is the most common cancer in men. We identified that miR-29 family is the most androgen-responsive miRNA in hormone-refractory prostate cancer cells. For the screening of miR-29b target, we performed microarray analysis in two prostate cancer cells. Because TET2 is the primary target of miR-29 family by our analysis, we also performed TET2 signaling by microarray.

View SamplesHyperthermia is widely used to treat patients with various cancers. 42.5C is well known as the inflection point of hyperthermia and generally up to 42C of hyperthermia is used in clinical cases combined with other therapies. Here, the effects of heat stress at 42 or 44C for 15 min on the gene expression in human lymphoma U937 cells were investigated using an Affymetrix GeneChip system. The cells were treated with heat stress (42 or 44C for 15 min), followed by incubation for 0, 1, 3 or 6 h at 37C. The percentage of DNA fragmentation was 8.4 2.2 (mean SD) at 42C for 6 h and 21.0 2.0 at 44C for 6 h. Of approximately 47,000 probe sets analyzed, many genes that were differentially expressed by a factor 2.0 or greater were identified in the cells treated with heat stress at 42 and 44C.

View SamplesWe performed global scale microarray analysis to identify detailed mechanisms by which nonpermissive temperature induces cell differentiation in testicular Sertoli TTE3 cells harboring temperature-sensitive SV40 large T-antigen by using an Affymetrix GeneChip system. Testicular Sertoli TTE3 cells used in the present study were derived from transgenic mice harboring a temperature-sensitive simian virus 40 large T-antigen. In the TTE3 cells, inactivation of the T-antigen by a nonpermissive temperature at 39C led to cell differentiation accompanying elevation of transferrin and cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor CDKN1A. Of the 22, 690 probe sets analyzed, nonpermissive temperature up-regulated 729 probe sets and down-regulated 471 probe sets by >2.0-fold.

View SamplesHyperthermia (41C <) is widely used to treat patients with various cancers. Here, the effects of hyperthermia (42C for 90 min) on the gene expression in human lymphoma U937 cells were investigated using an Affymetrix GeneChip system. The cells were treated with hyperthermia (42C for 90 min) and followed by incubation for 0, 1, 3 or 6 h at 37C. The percentage of DNA fragmentation was 7.5 0.9 (mean SD), 10.1 0.2, and 17.3 2.3 at the incubation periods of 1, 3, and 6 h, respectively. Of approximately 47,000 probe sets analyzed, the hyperthermia down-regulated 4,214 probe sets and up-regulated 1,334 by a factor 2.0 or greater.

View SamplesDiet-induced obesity is reported to induce a phenotypic switch in adipose tissue macrophages from an antiinflammatory M2 state to a proinflammatory M1 state. Telmisartan, an angiotensin II type 1 receptor antagonist and a peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma (PPAR-gamma) agonist, reportedly has beneficial effects on insulin sensitivity. We studied the effects of telmisartan on the adipose tissue macrophage phenotype in high fat-fed mice. Telmisartan was administered for 5 weeks to high fat-fed C57BL/6 mice. Insulin sensitivity, macrophage infiltration, and the gene expressions of M1 and M2 markers in epididymal fat tissues were examined. Insulin- or a glucose-tolerance test showed that telmisartan treatment improved insulin resistance, decreasing the body weight gain, visceral fat weight and adipocyte size without affecting the amount of food intake. Telmisartan treatment reduced the number of CD11c-positive cells and crown-like structures. Telmisartan reduced the mRNA expressions of M1 macrophage markers, such as TNF-alpha and IL-6, and increased the expression of M2 markers, such as IL-10 and Mgl2. The reduction of M1 macrophage markers, as well as the increased gene expression of M2 markers especially IL-10, is a possible mechanism for the improvement of insulin sensitivity by telmisartan.
