Illumina HumanHT-12 V3.0 expression beadchip
Description
Extracellular superoxide dismutase (SOD3), which dismutases hydrogen peroxide to superoxide anion at cell membranes, mimics RAS oncogene action inducing primary cell immortalization at sustained low-level expression while high expression activates cancer barrier signaling through p53-p21 growth arrest pathway. We have previously demonstrated that the growth regulation of SOD3 occurs at the level of RAS and is mediated through non-transcriptional and transcriptional routes. Therefore, in the current work we assayed the growth suppressive mechanisms of SOD3 by characterizing the main signal transduction routes from the cell membrane into the nucleus. Based on our data robust over-expression of SOD3 in anaplastic thyroid cancer 8505c cells increased EGFR, RYK, ALK, FLT3, and EPHA10 tyrosine kinase receptor phosphorylation with consequent downstream SRC, FYN, YES, HCK, and LYN kinase activation. However, RAS pull-down experiment suggested lack of mitogen pathway stimulation that was confirmed by MEK1/2 and ERK1/2 Western blot. Interestingly, mRNA expression analysis indicated that SOD3 regulated in a dose dependent manner the expression of selected guanine nucleotide exchange factors (Rho GEF16, Ral GEF RGL1), GTPase activating proteins (ArfGAP ADAP2, Ras GAP RASAL1, RGS4), and Rho guanine nucleotide disassociation inhibitors (Rho GDI 2) therefore controlling the signal transduction through RAS GTPases to downstream signal transduction pathways. Our current data suggests a SOD3-induced activation of growth signal transduction is controlled in a dose dependent manner through GEF, GAP, and GDI.

Description
Transcriptome analysis was used to identify gene expression changes during development of sunitinib resistance in a renal cell carcinoma patient-derived xenograft (PDX) model. During the response phase, tumors exhibited a 91% reduction in volume, characterized by induction of TNFRSF1A, TNFAIP3, NFKB2, CCL2, CCL20, BIRC3, and MOAP1. Ingenuity Pathway Analysis indicated decreased expression of cell survival genes during tumor response to sunitinib. In this model, after 4 weeks of treatment, tumors developed resistance despite continued administration of the tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) sunitinib (40 mg/kg/d p.o.). Resistance was associated with increased expression of VEGFA, EPO, IL-8, ANGPT2, TNFRSF12, MAPK3/7, MAPKBP1, and increased cell survival genes, suggesting activation of angiogenesis and MAPK/ERK pathways. Tumor lysate mRNA evaluated for murine gene expression to examine the contribution of host effects, indicated that tumor response was associated with downregulation of immune cell trafficking, cellular movement, and inflammatory response genes. During tumor escape, genes associated with cellular movement, inflammatory response, and immune cell trafficking were strongly induced, along with intratumoral accumulation of myeloid derived suppressor cells (MDSC), indicating a role for host factors during emergence of sunitinib resistance. The same PDX model was used to assess anti-tumor efficacy of sunitinib combined with MEK inhibitor (MEKi) PD-0325901 (4 mg/kg/d p.o.) using different schedules. The most effective treatment regimen was either continuous treatment with both drugs or switching from sunitinib to PD-0325901 monotherapy at d30, which reduced tumor volume by 78.6% (p=0.0241) and 88.5% (p=0.0068), respectively. The combination of MEKi with TKI (sunitinib, axitinib, or pazopanib) suppressed levels of phospho-MEK1/2 and phospho-ERK1/2, and decreased intratumoral MDSC. Thus, continuous treatment with sunitinib alone did not maintain tumor response, and addition of a MEKi abrogated resistance leading to prolonged survival.

Description
Autism is a common neurodevelopmental syndrome. Numerous rare genetic etiologies are reported; most cases are idiopathic. To uncover important gene dysregulation in autism we analyzed carefully selected idiopathic autistic and control cerebellar and BA19 (occipital) brain tissues using high resolution whole genome gene expression and DNA methylation microarrays. No changes in DNA methylation were identified in autistic brain but gene expression abnormalities in two areas of metabolism were apparent: down-regulation of genes of mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation and of protein translation. We also found associations between specific behavioral domains of autism and specific brain gene expression modules related to myelin/myelination, inflammation/immune response and purinergic signaling. This work highlights two largely unrecognized molecular pathophysiological themes in autism and suggests differing molecular bases for autism behavioral endophenotypes.

Description
Flowering time is a complex trait regulated by many genes that are integrated in different genetic pathways. Different genetic screenings carried out during the past decades have revealed an intrincated genetic regulatory network governing this trait. Efforts aimed at improving our understanding of how such genetic pathways respond to genetic and enviromental cues are needed.
