Translocations of ETS transcription factors are driver mutations in diverse cancers. We investigated the genomic network of the ETS fusion EWS/FLI1 in Ewing's sarcoma (ESFT) as a model of ETS-driven tumorigenesis. ChIP-Seq and transcriptional analysis identified E2F3 as a principle co-factor of EWSFLI1 defining functionally distinct gene sets. While EWS/FLI1 binding independent of E2F3 predominantly associated with repressed differentiation genes, significant co-localization with E2F3 was discovered at proximal promoters of activated growth-related genes. Thus, EWS/FLI1 promotes oncogenesis by simultaneously perturbing differentiation state and augmenting the expression of genes co-regulated by E2F3. Integration of additional E2F3 and ERG localization data from prostate cancer containing TMPRSS2/ERG verified that the ETS-E2F module is also found in prostate cancer and may be of general relevance to ETS driven cancers.

View SamplesCtBP is a global co-repressor by serving as transcriptional factor in multiple pathways. CtBP functioned as transcriptional factor by recruiting other cofactors such as G9a, HDAC1 and PcG proteins. CtBP is found to be over enriched in several type of tumor samples. To dipict the role of CtBP in globally regulating gene expression, we applied gene microarray technology to find out what subgroups of genes are mainly affected.

View SamplesWe utilized the Barley1 Affymetrix GeneChip for comparative transcript analysis of Betzes barley, Chinese Spring wheat, and Chinese SpringBetzes ditelosomic chromosome addition lines to physically map barley genes to their respective chromosome arm locations. We mapped barley genes to chromosome arms (1HS, 2HS, 2HL, 3HS, 3HL, 4HS, 4HL, 5HS, 5HL, 7HS, and 7HL) based on their transcript levels in the ditelosomic addition lines. ****[PLEXdb(http://www.plexdb.org) has submitted this series at GEO on behalf of the original contributor, Hatice Bilgic.

View SamplesSTEAP4 is a plasma membrane metallo-reductase involved in the transport of iron and copper. Recently, STEAP4 was implicated in promoting insulin sensitivity by acting in white adipose tissue (WAT) to control the production of inflammatory cytokines such as IL-6. Indeed, the loss of STEAP4 expression in mice leads to increased production of inflammatory cytokines in visceral WAT and systemic insulin resistance. In this report, we demonstrate that in mouse liver STEAP4 is produced at significant levels and that STEAP4 transcription is induced by IL-6. We further demonstrate that the STEAP4 gene is a direct target of phosphorylated STAT3 in mouse liver. In addition, hepatic STEAP4 expression is regulated by feeding and fasting, and obesity leads to the induction of STEAP4 expression in the liver. Interestingly, the regulation of STEAP4 in both feeding and fasting and the obese state appears to require the transcription factor C/EBPalpha that may act in concert with STAT3 as they both bind to the proximal STEAP4 promoter in vivo. Taken together these data suggest the transcriptional regulation of hepatic STEAP4 may play a critical role in the response to nutritional and inflammatory stress and contribute to the protective effect of STEAP4 in vivo.

View SamplesMesenchyme-derived cells in the human airway wall including airway smooth muscle cells, fibroblasts and myofibroblasts are known to play important roles in airway remodeling. The lack of specific phenotypic markers makes it difficult to define these cell populations in primary cultures. The objectives of this study were to evaluate reported markers and to identify novel markers to define these cell types.
Can lineage-specific markers be identified to characterize mesenchyme-derived cell populations in the human airways?

View SamplesUsing wild-type and Rps5 heterozygous embryonic stem cells, we isolated RNA from polyribosomal fractions in order to get insights into transcriptional and translational defects of such deletion. Overall design: Input, monosomes and polysomes extracted RNA samples from wild-type and Rps5 heterozygous clones (undifferentiated and differentiated, total number of samples = 12), were subjected to sequencing.

View SamplesAn important component of time course microarray studies is the identification of genes that demonstrate significant time-dependent variation in their expression levels. Until recently available methods for performing such significance tests required replicates of individual time points. This paper describes a replicate-free method that was developed as part of a study of the estrous cycle in the rat mammary gland in which no replicate data was collected.
