Affymetrix Arabidopsis ATH1 Genome Array (ath1121501)
Description
Histone methylation modulates gene expression in response to external and internal cues. We uncovered a non-redundant role for the Arabidopsis histone methyltransferase, SDG8, which provides a unique opportunity to study the global function of a specific histone methyltransferase within in a multicellular organism. We previously used a promoter responsive to light and carbon in a positive genetic screen to identify an Arabidopsis carbon and light insensitive mutant cli186. In this study, we characterize the mutant cli186 as a complete deletion of a histone methyltransferase gene SDG8 (now renamed sdg8-5). To assess the global role of SDG8, we compared the global histone methylation patterns and the transcriptome of sdg8-5 to wild type (WT) in the context of a transient carbon and light treatment. We showed that the complete deletion of SDG8 in sdg8-5 is associated with a dramatic reduction of H3K36me3 towards the 3 of the gene body, which correlates with significant reduction in gene expression. We uncovered 1,084 high confidence functional targets of SDG8 affected in both H3K36me3 marks and gene expression that are associated with specific biological processes including defense, photosynthesis, nutrient metabolism and energy metabolism. Importantly, 71% of these functional targets are responsive to carbon and/or light. Our model suggests that SDG8 functions to mark specific sets of genes with H3K36me3 in the gene body for active transcription, to tune genes involved in primary metabolism that are responsive to the energy level in the environment.

Description
Fibroadenomas are the most common benign breast tumors in women under 30. Unlike their malignant counterparts, relatively molecular profiling has been done on fibroadenomas. Here we performed gene expression profiling on ten fibroadenomas in order to better characterize these tumors. Through targeted amplicon sequencing, we have found that six of these tumors have MED12 mutations. We show that the MED12 mutations, among others, are associated with activated estrogen signaling, as well as increased invasiveness through upregulation of ECM remodelling genes.

Exome sequencing identifies highly recurrent MED12 somatic mutations in breast fibroadenoma.

Description
This analysis identified 27 genes that are induced, and 29 that are repressed, by a factor of two or more in Asr1RING mutant cells. Genes in each category did not cluster according to gene ontology or chromosome, but we did notice that 33% of genes in the induced set lie within 50 kb of a telomere. In contrast, for repressed genes, only 7% were similarly telomere-proximal. The induction of subtelomeric gene expression in Asr1RING mutant cells suggests that the Ub-ligase activity of Asr1 may be required for authentic patterns of subtelomeric gene silencing. Overall design: Transcriptome of WT and Asr1 RING mutant cells grown at log phase in enriched media.

Description
Tumors of advanced gastric cancer patients were biopsied and subjected to gene expression profiling using the Affymetrix Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 Arrays. Patients were then segregated into G1, G2 or G3 groups based on their tumor genomic profiles. Patients in the G1 and G3 cohorts were assigned SOX (oxaliplatin plus S-1) chemotherapy whereas those in the G2 cohort were given SP (cisplatin plus S-1) regimen.

Description
Cell surface sialylation confers many roles in cancer biology including cell proliferation, invasiveness, metastasis and angiogenesis. We show here that ST3Gal1 sialyltransferase marks a self-renewing cellular fraction. Depletion of ST3GAL1 abrogates glioma cell growth and tumorigenicity. In contrast, TGFb induces ST3GAL1 expression and correlates with the pattern of ST3Gal1 activation in patient tumors of the mesenchymal molecular subtype. To delineate the downstream events of ST3Gal1 signaling, we utilized a bioinformatical approach that leveraged on the greater statistical power of large patient databases, and subsequently verified our predictions in patient-derived glioma cells. We identify FoxM1, a major stem cell regulatory gene, as a downstream effector, and show that ST3Gal1 mediates the glioma phenotype through control of FoxM1 protein degradation

Description
In these microarray experiments, we characterize the gene expression of mammary epithelial cells (MCF10A cells) grown in either a traditional monolayer cell culture setting (2D) or on Matrigel, which induces single MCF10A cells to form organized acinar structures (3D). Morphogenesis of mammary epithelial cells into organized acinar structures in vitro is accompanied by widespread changes in gene expression patterns, including a substantial decrease in expression of Myc.

Description
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small and endogenously expressed non-coding RNAs that negatively regulate the expression of protein-coding genes at the translational level. Emerging evidence suggests that miRNAs play critical roles in central nervous system under physiological and pathological conditions. However, their expression and functions in status epilepticus (SE) have not been well characterized thus far. Here, we characterized miRNA expression profile in rat hippocampus at 24 hours following SE induced by amygdala stimulation. Overall design: Hippocampus miRNA profiles of experimental group and control group were generated by deep sequencing, using Hiseq 2000.

Genome-wide microRNA profiling of rat hippocampus after status epilepticus induced by amygdala stimulation identifies modulators of neuronal apoptosis.
