Affymetrix Human Gene 1.0 ST Array (hugene10st)
Description
NLRC5 is a member of the NLR family of proteins. The observation that NLRC5 is found in the nucleus prompted us to perform a gene array to identify putative target genes of NLRC5. We generated Jurkat T cell lines that stably express either the wild-type or mutant forms of NLRC5 harboring mutations in the nucleotide binding domain (NBD): Walker A (deficient in nucleotide binding), Walker B (deficient in nucleotide hydrolysis), and the combined Walker AB, carrying both mutations.

Description
The significance of cardiac stem cell (CSC) populations for cardiac regeneration remains disputed. Here, we apply the most direct definition of stem cell function (the ability to replace lost tissue through cell division) to interrogate the existence of CSCs. By single-cell mRNA sequencing and genetic lineage tracing using two Ki67 knockin mouse models, we map all proliferating cells and their progeny in homoeostatic and regenerating murine hearts. Cycling cardiomyocytes were only robustly observed in the early postnatal growth phase, while cycling cells in homoeostatic and damaged adult myocardium represented various noncardiomyocyte cell types. Proliferative postdamage fibroblasts expressing follistatin-like protein 1 (FSTL1) closely resemble neonatal cardiac fibroblasts and form the fibrotic scar. Genetic deletion of Fstl1 in cardiac fibroblasts results in postdamage cardiac rupture. We find no evidence for the existence of a quiescent CSC population, for transdifferentiation of other cell types toward cardiomyocytes, or for proliferation of significant numbers of cardiomyocytes in response to cardiac injury. Overall design: We generated transciptome data from proliferative cardiac cells collected from 3, 7 or 14 days following myocardial infarction (MI) or sham surgery. This series includes single-cell transcriptome data from (Ki67-RFP+) cardiac cells collected from neonatal murine hearts, adult homeostatic murine hearts or adult murine hearts collected 14 days following myocardial infarction (MI), ischemic/perfusion (I/R) or sham surgery.

Description
High VEGFC mRNA expression of AML blasts is related to increased in vitro and in vivo drug resistance. The prognostic significance of VEGFC on long-term outcome and its associated gene expression profiles remain to be defined. We studied the effect of VEGFC on treatment outcome and investigated gene expression profiles associated with VEGFC using microarray data of 525 adult and 100 pediatric AML patients. High VEGFC expression appeared strongly associated with reduced complete remission rate, reduced overall and event-free survival (OS and EFS) in adult AML. Multivariable analysis established high VEGFC as prognostic indicator independent of cytogenetic risk, FLT3-ITD, NPM1, CEBPA, age and WBC. Also in pediatric AML high VEGFC was related to reduced OS. A unique series of differentially expressed genes was identified that distinguished AML with high VEGFC from AML with low VEGFC, i.e., 331 upregulated genes (representative of proliferation, VEGF-receptor activity, signal transduction) and 44 downregulated genes (e.g. related to apoptosis) consistent with a role in enhanced chemoresistance. In conclusion, high VEGFC predicts adverse long-term prognosis and provides prognostic information in addition to well-known prognostic factors.

Description
Male weanling Wistar rats from the Animal Facility at the Center for Experimental and Applied Pathology were divided into 4 groups and fed the following diets: 1) choline-deficient diet with VO [corn and hydrogenated oils) as lipids (CDVO); 2) choline-supplemented diet with VO as lipids (CSVO); 3) choline-deficient diet with MO as lipid (CDMO); and 4) choline-supplemented diet with MO as lipid (CSMO). Authors have adhered to appropriate NIH Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals. It is known that female rats are more resistant than male rats to AKI. Animals were sacrificed after receiving the experimental diets for 6 days. The left kidney was fixed in formaldehyde-buffer and stained with hematoxiline-eosin for histopathological analysis. The right kidney was cryopreserved for microarray analysis. Cryopreserved kidney was wrapped with aluminum foil and broken with a hammer previously wrapped with tape paper on a counter covered in aluminum. The pieces of the kidney were located in a mortar with liquid nitrogen to keep cryopreservation and were pulverized with a pestle. Nitrogen was added as it evaporated. The tissue was broken up to be completely pulverized. Powder was placed with a spatula in a cryotube supported on a dry ice with a layer of aluminum above. Before proceeding with another sample and to avoid contamination, the mortar, the pestle and the spatula were washed with tap water, distilled water and then alcohol. The tape of the hammer, the aluminum on the counter and the latex gloves were also replaced by new ones. Total RNA was purified from 30 milligrams of frozen rat kidney pools, using RNeasy Mini Kit [Qiagen GmbH, Hilden, Germany) according to the manufacturer's instructions. The biological concentration, integrity and quality of the RNA obtained were performing using NanoDrop 2000c (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Delaware, USA) and RIN (RNA Integrity Number). Five hundred nanograms of total RNA were processed and hybridized to Affymetrix GeneChip Rat Gene 1.0 ST Array (Affymetrix Inc, Singapore, Singapore), according to Ambion WT Expression Kit instructions (Ambion Inc, Texas, USA). Total RNA obtained during the tissue extraction was processed to obtain a double strand cDNA. After that we performed a in-vitro transcripition to generate antisence cRNA (aRNA). This aRNA was used to generate a single-stranded DNA (ss-DNA) using random primers and the dUTP +dNTP mix. The resulting single-stranded DNA (ss-DNA) containing the unnatural uracilbase is then treated with Uracil DNA Glycosylase, which specifically removes the uracilresidue from the ss-DNA molecules. In the same reaction, the APE 1 enzyme then cleaves the phosphodiester backbone where the base is missing, leaving a 3-hydroxyland a 5-deoxyribose phosphate terminus. Before this prosses, shorts ss-DNA fragments were labeled by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT) that covalently linked the 3-hydrosyl phosphate terminus whit Biotin Allonamide Triphosphate. The GeneChip Rat Gene 1.0 ST Array enables whole-genome, gene-level expression studies for well-characterized genes. It is a single GeneChip-brand array comprised of more than 722 254 unique 25-mer oligonucleotide features accounting for more than 27 342 gene-level probe sets. Results were scanned with GeneChip Scanner 3000 7G (Affymetrix Inc, Tokyo, Japan), and normalized by RMA algorithm using Affymetrix Expression Console Software. In addition, call values were retrieved by MAS5 algorithm, and only genes with a p (present) call value were used in the analysis. Differentially expressed genes were identified using limma (www.bioconductor.org) and p adjusted values and absolute log fold change greater than 1.5 were used for gene selection.

Description
The identification of Lgr5 as an intestinal stem cell marker has made it possible to isolate and study primary stem cells from small intestine. Using the cell cycle specific expression og the mKi67 gene, we generated a novel Ki67-RFP knock-in allele which identifies dividing cells. Using Lgr5-GFP;Ki67-RFP mice, we isolated CBCs with distinct Wnt signaling levels and cell cycle features, and analyzed their global gene expression pattern using microarrays. We concluded that the cycling Lgr5hi stem cells exit the cell cycle in transition into the secretory lineage. Lgr5med Ki67low intermediate precursors reside in the zone of differentiation, resemble quiescent stem cells and generate the Dll1+ secretory precursors and the label retaining cells. Our findings support the cycling stem cell hypothesis and highlight the heterogeneity of early progenitors during lineage commitment.

- Affymetrix Rhesus Macaque Genome Array (rhesus)
Description
Natural SIV infection of sooty mangabeys (SMs) does not progress to disease despite chronic virus replication. In contrast to pathogenic SIV infection of rhesus macaques (RMs), chronic SIV infection of SMs is characterized by low immune activation. To elucidate the mechanisms underlying this phenotype, we longitudinally assessed host gene expression in SIV-infected SMs and RMs. We found that acute SIV infection of SMs is consistently associated with a robust innate immune response, including widespread up-regulation of interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs). Our findings indicate that active immune regulatory mechanisms, rather than intrinsically attenuated innate immune responses, underlie the low immuneactivation of chronically SIV-infected SMs.

Description
The study of mammalian development has offered many insights into the molecular aetiology of cancer. We previously used analysis of mammary morphogenesis to discover a critical role for GATA-3 in mammary developmental and carcinogenesis. In recent years an important role for MicroRNAs (miRNAs) in a myriad of cellular processes in development and in oncogenesis has emerged. In this study, microRNA profiling of stromal and epithelial cellular subsets microdissected from the developing mouse mammary gland revealed many microRNAs with expression restricted to various cellular subsets. MicroRNA-184 (miR-184) was exclusively expressed in epithelial cells and markedly upregulated during differentiation of the proliferative, invasive cells of the pubertal terminal end bud (TEB) into ductal epithelial cells in vivo and in FACS-sorted mammary stem cells (MaSCs) versus luminal epithelial cells. miR-184 expression was silenced in mouse tumour models compared to non-transformed epithelium and in a majority of breast cancer cell line models. Ectopic reactivation of miR-184 inhibited the proliferation and self-renewal of metastatic triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) cell lines in vitro and delayed tumour formation and reduced metastasis in vivo. Gene expression studies uncovered multi-factorial direct regulation of genes in the AKT/mTORC1 pathway by miR-184. In clinical breast cancer tissues, expression of miR-184 is lost in primary TNBCs while the miR-184 promoter is methylated in a subset of lymph node metastases from TNBC patients. These studies elucidated a new layer of regulation in the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway with relevance to mammary development and tumour proliferation and metastasis.
