Description
Breast cancer is a curable disease if it is diagnosed at an early stage. However, only little options are left once the tumor is metastasized to distant organs, and more than 90% of breast cancer death is attributed to metastatic disease. The process of metastasis is highly complex and involves many steps for successful colonization of tumor cells at a target organ. According to the cancer stem cell (CSC) theory, which still remains a hypothesis, these metastatic cells must have stem cell-like capability for their self-renewal in addition to their invasive ability. Therefore, it has been predicted that a metastatic stem cell, which is distinct from a cancer stem cell, must exist in the primary tumor mass. To identify genes that are involved in metastasis of CSCs, we isolated CSC populations from a well-established model cell line of breast cancer, MDA-MB231, and that of highly metastatic variants, 231BoM-1833 and 231BrM-2a, using CD24, CD44 and EpCAM (ESA), which have been identified as surface markers for CSCs in breast cancers. Overall yield of CSCs from these cells ranged from 2% to 4%. We then performed global expression profile analysis for these CSCs using the Affymetrix Human Gene 1.0ST array.

Description
Spinocerebellar ataxia type 6 (SCA6) is a dominantly inherited neurodegenerative disease caused by an expansion of a CAG repeat encoding a polyglutamine (PolyQ) tract in the Cav2.1 voltage-gated calcium channel. Pathologically, it is characterized by selective degeneration of cerebellar Purkinje cells (PCs), which are a common target for PolyQ-induced toxicity among several different SCAs. Mutant Cav2.1 confers toxicity mainly through a toxic gain-of-function mechanism, but subcellular site of expanded Cav2.1 toxicity is controversial and it remains elusive whether SCA6 shares pathogenic cascades with other SCAs. To gain insight into these problems, we studied the cerebellar gene expression patterns of young Sca6 MPI 118Q/118Q knockin (KI) mice, which express mutant Cav2.1 from endogenous locus and faithfully models human SCA6. Comparison of transcriptional changes with those of Sca1 154Q/2Q mice, a faithful KI mouse model of SCA1, revealed that transcriptional signatures in the MPI 118Q/118Q were distinct from those of Sca1 154Q/2Q. Examination of temporal profiles of candidate genes showed that upregulation of those associated with microglial activation was initiated before PC degeneration was apparent and augmented as the disease progressed. Histological analysis of the MPI 118Q/118Q cerebellum confirmed the presence of Iba-1 positive activated microglia. Moreover, predominance of M1-like pro-inflammatory microglia was observed and was concomitant with the increased expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines. These results suggest that the unique transcriptional response, which highlights upregulation of neuroinflammatory genes possibly associated with lysosomal involvement, may play a pivotal role in the pathogenesis. Modulation of innate immune system could pave the way for slowing the progression of SCA6.

Description
To understand the molecular mechanisms mediating Liver Resident Leukocytes (LRL) relocalization from the liver to the lungs in response to tumor progression, isolated LRLs from the liver and lungs of tumor-stimulating mice using a cell sorter. LRLs remaining in the liver displayed increased liver signature when compared to those that migrated into the lungs.

Description
In examining NO signaling in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe, we found that the putative NO dioxygenase SPAC869.02c (named Yhb1) and the S-nitrosoglutathione reductase Fmd2 cooperatively reduced intracellular NO levels as NO-detoxification enzymes. Although both protein levels were increased with exogenous NO, their expression patterns were different during growth phases. While expression of Yhb1 in the log phase was abrogated by treatment with an NO synthase inhibitor, induction of Fmd2 in the stationary phase was correlated with elevated mitochondrial respiratory chain (MRC) activity and reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation. Moreover, NO was localized in the mitochondria specifically in the stationary phase, suggesting that there are at least two distinctive types of NO signaling in S. pombe cells. For mitochondrial NO signaling, pretreatment with an NO donor effectively rescued the cell viability by repressing generation of ROS under oxidative stress. DNA microarray analysis revealed that exogenous NO contributes to tolerance to hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) stress by (i) inhibition of Fe3+ to Fe2+conversion, (ii) upregulation of the H2O2-detoxifying enzymes, and (iii) downregulation of the MRC genes. Therefore, NO is suggested to play a pivotal role in the negative feedback system to regulate ROS levels under oxidative stress in S. pombe cells.
