Affymetrix Arabidopsis ATH1 Genome Array (ath1121501)
Description
Sulfite reductase (SiR) plays an essential role in the assimilatory sulfur reduction pathway by catalyzing the reduction of sulfite to sulfide. The T-DNA insertion mutant line sir1-1 shows lower amounts of SiR transcript, protein and lower activity and is severely affected in growth. In this study we performed global transcriptome analysis to investigate the impact of the mutation in the shoot of 7-week-old plants.

Description
CHOPS syndrome is caused by germline gain-of-function mutations of AFF4. Cornelia de Lange syndrome is caused by germline mutations of cohesin loading factors or cohesin complex genes such as NIPBL, SMC1A, SMC3 and HDAC8. There are many overlapping clinical features exist between CHOPS syndrome and Cornelia de Lange syndrome. To identified commonly dysregulated genes in CHOPS syndrome and Cornelia de Lange syndrome, we perfomred side-by-side transcriptome comparison between CHOPS syndrome and Cornelia de Lange syndrome.

Description
AFF4 is a component of super elongation complex (SEC), which plays an important role in mobilizing paused RNA polymerase II at gene promoter regions. Using exome sequenging, we have identified a novel genetic disorder caused by missense mutations in AFF4. We propose CHOPS syndrome as a name for this new diagnosis. To evaluate the effect of identified missense mutations of AFF4, utilizing patient derived skin fibroblast cell lines, the gene expression analysis was perfomred.

Description
Systems biology is an approach to comprehensively study complex interactions within a biological system. Most published systems vaccinology studies have utilized whole blood or peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) to monitor the immune response after vaccination. Because human blood is comprised of multiple hematopoietic cell types, the potential for masking responses of under-represented cell populations is increased when analyzing whole blood or PBMC. To investigate the contribution of individual cell types to the immune response after vaccination, we established a rapid and efficient method to purify human T and B cells, natural killer (NK) cells, myeloid dendritic cells (mDC), monocytes, and neutrophils from fresh venous blood. Purified cells were fractionated and processed in a single day. RNA-Seq and quantitative shotgun proteomics were performed to determine expression profiles for each cell type prior to and after inactivated seasonal influenza vaccination. Our results show that transcriptomic and proteomic profiles generated from purified immune cells differ significantly from PBMC. Differential expression analysis for each immune cell type also shows unique transcriptomic and proteomic expression profiles as well as changing biological networks at early time points after vaccination. This cell type-specific information provides a more comprehensive approach to monitor vaccine responses. Overall design: PBMC and six purified cell types from two vaccinated donors were isolated prior to (d0) and at days 1, 3, and 7 post-TIV vaccination for RNA-seq analysis

Description
Sustained Ca2+ entry into CD4+CD8+ double-positive thymocytes is required for positive selection. We identified a voltage-gated Na+ channel (VGSC), essential for positive selection of CD4+ T cells. Pharmacological inhibition of VGSC activity inhibited sustained Ca2+ influx induced by positive-selecting ligands and in vitro positive selection of CD4+ but not CD8+ T cells. In vivo shRNA knockdown of Scn5a specifically inhibited positive selection of CD4+ T cells. Ectopic expression of VGSC in peripheral AND CD4+ T cells bestowed the ability to respond to a positively selecting ligand, directly demonstrating VGSC expression was responsible for increased sensitivity. Thus active VGSCs in thymocytes provides a mechanism by which a weak positive selecting signal can induce sustained Ca2+ signals required for CD4+ T cell development.

Description
The bovine chromaffin cell (BCC) is a unique modela highly homogeneous and accessible neuroendocrine cellin which to study gene regulation through first messenger-initiated signaling pathways that are specific to post-mitotic cells. BCCs were treated with tumor necrosis factor (TNF) or pituitary adenylate cyclase activating polypeptide (PACAP), two critical regulators of neural cell transcriptional programming during inflammation that act on TNFR2 and PAC1 receptors, respectively, in post-mitotic neuroendocrine cells. Transcripts which were significantly up regulated by either or both first messenger were identified from microarray analysis using two bovine oligonucleotide arrays (Affymetrix and Agilent) followed by statistical analysis with Partek Genomic suite. Microarray data were combined from the two arrays using qRT-PCR sampling validation, and the first-messenger transcriptome derived from TNF and PACAP signaling were compared. More than 90 percent of the genes up regulated either by TNF or PACAP were specific to a single first messenger. BioBase suite, DIRE and Opossum were used to identify common promoter/enhancer response elements that control the expression of TNF- or PACAP-stimulated genes. Bioinformatic analysis revealed that distinct groups of transcription factors control the expression of genes up regulated by either TNF or PACAP . Most of the genes up regulated by TNF contained response elements for members of the Rel transcription factor family, suggesting TNF-TNFR2 signaling mainly through the NF-kB signaling pathway. On the other hand, the PACAP regulated genes showed no enrichment for any single response element, containing instead response elements for combinations of transcription factors allowing activation through multiple signaling pathways, including cAMP, calcium and ERK, in neuroendocrine cells. Pharmacological strategies for mimicking neuroprotection by either PACAP or TNF in the context of CNS injury or degeneration in disease might focus on individual downstream gene activation pathways to achieve greater specificity in vivo.

Description
Mutations affecting the RAS-MAPK pathway frequently occur in relapse neuroblastoma tumors, which suggests that activation of this pathway is associated with a more aggressive phenotype. To explore this hypothesis we generated several model systems to define a neuroblastoma RAS-MAPK pathway signature. We could show that activation of this pathway in primary tumors indeed correlates with poor survival and is associated with known activating mutations in ALK and other RAS-MAPK pathway genes. From integrative analysis we could show that mutations in PHOX2B, CIC and DMD are also associated with an activated RAS-MAPK pathway. Mutation of PHOX2B and deletion of CIC in neuroblastoma cell lines induces activation of the RAS-MAPK pathway. This activation was independent of phosphorylated ERK in the CIC knock out systems. Furthermore, deletion of CIC causes a significant increase in tumor growth in vivo. These results show that the RAS-MAPK pathway is involved in tumor progression, and establish CIC as a powerful tumor suppressor that functions downstream of this pathway in neuroblastoma.
