- Affymetrix Mouse Gene 1.0 ST Array (mogene10st)
Description
Genetic predisposition and environmental components contribute to an individuals non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) susceptibility. Therefore, we compared phenotypic variations of mouse strains extensively used in biomedical research during induction of high-fat diet (HFD)-mediated NAFLD and assessed transcriptional alterations in livers. In a time-resolved fashion we determined a wide spectrum of physiological parameters in C3HeB/FeJ (C3H), C57BL/6NTac, C57BL/6J, and 129P2/OlaHsd (129) males during a 7, 14, or 21 days HFD challenge and performed gene transcription analyses in steatotic livers.

Description
In this survey we effectively combined transcriptomics, proteomics and targeted-metabolomics to analyse the temporal relationship of alterations in liver preceding and accompanying the development of HFD-mediated hepatic insulin resistance. To assess HFD-mediated alterations in physiological parameters, insulin sensitivity, and molecular adaptations in liver male C3HeB/FeJ mice treated with a high-fat diet (HFD) for 7, 14, or 21 days and compared to age- matched controls fed low-fat diet (LFD).

Description
Tumor-associated macrophages (TAM) represent an abundant cell population of the immune infiltrate in solid tumors and have been shown to orchestrate escape from immune surveillance. Macrophages display a very plastic phenotype which is recapitulated in vitro by classifying certain subsets according to exposure with defined, individual cytokines. The tumor-promoting M2 macrophages are polarized in vitro by differentiating human monocyte-derived macrophages with the T helper cell type 2 (Th2) response cytokines interleukin-4 and interleukin-13 or the immunosuppressive cytokine interleukin-10. Notably, only the latter macrophage subset undergoes apoptosis when treated with the colony stimulating factor 1 receptor (CSF1R) blocking antibody emactuzumab. However, under physiologic conditions the phenotype of TAM is shaped by a combination of cytokines. Hence, we evaluated if the addition of IL-10 to IL-4 or IL-13 differentiated macrophages is able to override IL-4/-13 mediated signaling and to restore susceptibility to emactuzumab. Though addition of IL-10 did not restore emactuzumab susceptibility, we surprisingly detected that only IL-4 differentiated macrophages sustained their specific marker expression while IL-10 skewed the IL-13 differentiated macrophage profile towards the IL-10 regulated phenotype. In-depth characterization by gene expression profiling revealed unique signatures of IL-4+IL-10 and IL-13+IL-10 differentiated macrophage subsets characterized by upregulation of the canonical NFB signaling or Wnt/-catenin signaling pathways, respectively. In silico-based analysis of a large cohort of cancer patients revealed distinct interleukin-4 or interleukin-13 overexpression patterns in a subset of patients with partial co-expression of IL-10 but almost absent IL-4/IL-13 co-expression. These patients may have less TAM depletion under therapy with CSF1R inhibitors.

- Affymetrix Yeast Genome 2.0 Array (yeast2)
Description
Positioned nucleosomes limit the access of proteins to DNA and implement regulatory features encoded in eukaryotic genomes. Here we generated the first genome-wide nucleosome positioning map for Schizosaccharomyces pombe and annotated transcription start and termination sites genome-wide. Using this resource we found surprising differences compared to the nucleosome organization in the distantly related yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae [the cerevisiae data has been published by others (PMID: 17873876) and the raw data is deposited at ArrayExpress(E-MEXP-1172)]. DNA sequence guides nucleosome positioning differently, e.g., poly(dA:dT) elements are not enriched in S. pombe nucleosome-depleted regions (NDRs). Regular nucleosomal arrays emanate more asymmetrically, i.e., mainly co-directionally with transcription, from promoter NDRs, but promoters harbouring the histone variant H2A.Z show regular arrays also upstream. Regular nucleosome phasing in S. pombe has a very short repeat length of 154 base pairs, and requires a remodeler, Mit1, conserved in humans but not found in S. cerevisiae. Nucleosome positioning mechanisms are evidently not universal but evolutionarily plastic.

Description
ISWI is an evolutionary conserved ATPase that catalyzes nucleosome remodeling in several different complexes. Two mammalian ISWI orthologs, SNF2H and SNF2L, have specialized functions despite their high similarity. Due to the lack of reagents the functions of SN2L in human cells had not been established. Newly established specific monoclonal antibodies and selective RNA interference protocols now enabled a comprehensive characterization of loss-of-function phenotypes in human cells. Contrasting earlier results obtained in the mouse model, we found SNF2L broadly expressed in primary human tissues. Depletion of SNF2L in HeLa cells led to enhanced proliferation, morphological alterations and increased migration. These phenomena were explained by transcriptome profiling, which identified SNF2L as a modulator of the Wnt signaling network. The cumulative effects of SNF2L depletion on gene expression portray the cell in a state of activated Wnt signaling characterized by increased proliferation and chemotactic locomotion. High levels of SNF2L expression in normal melanocytes contrast to undetectable expression in malignant melanoma. In summary, our data document an anti-correlation between SNF2L expression and several features characteristic of malignant cells.

Description
To get insight in the functional role of EGR2 for Ewing sarcoma, we performed a transcriptional profiling of Ewing sarcoma cells after knockdown of EGR2 and compared the resulting transcriptional signature with that of EWSR1-FLI1-silenced Ewing sarcoma cells. In accordance with the strong EGR2-induction by EWSR1-FLI1, both genes highly significantly overlap in their transcriptional signatures. Gene-set enrichment analyses (GSEA) and DAVID (Database for Annotation, Visualisation and Integrated Discovery) gene ontology analyses indicated a strong impact of EGR2 on cholesterol and lipid biosynthesis resembling its function in orchestrating lipid metabolism of myelinating Schwann cells.
