Affymetrix Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 Array (hgu133plus2)
Description
Langerhans dendritic cells represent abundantly occuring and evolutionary highly conserved DCs specifically located in the stratified epithelial tissues. LCs are unique among DC family members in that they express epithelial-type adhesion molecules, allowing them to form a tight three-dimensional network in basal and suprabasal epidermal keratinocyte layers and developmentally dependent on the cytokine TGF-1. In the present study, we identified BMP-7 as another key factor inducing LC differnetiation. Here we have performed comparative analysis of highly purified CD207+/CD1a+ in vitro generated Langerhans cells in the presence of BMP-7 and TGF-1. We have identified that both BMP-7-LCs and TGF-1-LCs are closely related to each other.

Description
Rett syndrome (RTT) is an X-linked dominant neurodevelopmental disorder caused by mutations in MECP2, encoding methyl-CpG binding protein 2. MeCP2 is a transcriptional repressor elevated in mature neurons and is predicted to be required for neuronal maturation by regulating multiple target genes. Identifying primary gene targets in either Mecp2-deficient mice or human RTT brain has proven to be difficult, perhaps because of the transient requirement for MeCP2 during neuronal maturation. In order to experimentally control the timing of MeCP2 expression and deficiency during neuronal maturation, human SH-SY5Y cells undergoing mature neuronal differentiation were transfected with methylated MeCP2 oligonucleotide decoy to disrupt the binding of MeCP2 to endogenous targets. Genome-wide expression microarray analysis identified all four known members of the inhibitors of differentiation or inhibitors of DNA binding (ID1, ID2, ID3 and ID4) subfamily of helix-loop-helix (HLH) genes as novel neuronal targets of MeCP2. Chromatin immunoprecipitation analysis confirmed binding of MeCP2 near or within the promoters of ID1, ID2 and ID3, and quantitative RT-PCR confirmed increased expression of all four Id genes in Mecp2-deficient mouse brain. All four ID proteins were significantly increased in Mecp2-deficient mouse and human RTT brain using immunofluorescence and laser scanning cytometric analyses. Because of their involvement in cell differentiation and neural development, ID genes are ideal primary targets for MeCP2 regulation of neuronal maturation that may explain the molecular pathogenesis of RTT.

Description
Human T-cell leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV-1) encodes HTLV-1 bZIP factor (HBZ), which is thought to be crucial for neoplastic and inflammatory diseases caused by HTLV-1. So, we analyzed the transcriptional profile of HBZ expressing cells and how HBZ affect the expression of apoptosis-related genes.
Publication Title
HTLV-1 bZIP factor suppresses apoptosis by attenuating the function of FoxO3a and altering its localization.

Description
Gastric cancer can be divided in two major histological subtypes: diffuse and intestinal-type adenocarcinomas. Since both types diverge in many clinical and molecular characteristics, is widely accepted that both represent distinct disease entities that may benefit from different therapeutic approaches. The diffuse type is explicitly more invasive and affected patients possess extremely poor prognosis. Gene expression profiling studies identified numerous genes with differences in mRNA expression between the two types. However, little overlap of published gene lists exists forcing the need for further and more comprehensive analyses.

Description
Meiosis is a complex developmental process that generates haploid cells from diploid progenitors. We measured mRNA abundance and protein production through yeast sporulation and found strong temporal control for most genes, achieved through both mRNA levels and translational regulation. Monitoring the timing of protein production revealed novel factors involved in recombination and helped to illuminate the molecular basis of the broad restructuring of meiotic cells. We also found a strong increase in noncanonical translation at short open reading frames (sORFs) on unannnotated transcripts and upstream regions of known transcripts (uORFs). Ribosome occupancy at near-cognate uORFs was associated with more efficient ORF translation; while some AUG uORFs, often on regulated leader extensions, acted comptetitively. This work reveals a pervasive role for meiotic translational control and great complexity in genomic coding. Overall design: Fine mapping of gene expression through meiosis reveals extensive regulation of protein synthesis and widespread non-canonical translation.

Description
Understanding how differentiation, microenvironment, and hormonal milieu influence human breast cell susceptibility to malignant transformation will require the use of physiologically relevant in vitro systems. We developed a 3D culture model that enables the propagation of normal estrogen receptor alpha (ER)+ cells. The purpose of this experiment was to assess ER functionality and compare estrogen-induced transcripts among samples and systems. Overall design: RNA-seq was performed on RNA prepared from replicate 3D cultures from 3 normal 3D breast culture specimens exposed to 10nM estradiol or vehicle alone for 6 or 24 hours.

Description
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.
Publication Title
