Affymetrix Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 Array (hgu133plus2)
Description
Cytogenetic abnormalities (CA) are important clinical parameters in various types of cancer, including multiple myeloma (MM). We developed a model to predict CA in patients with MM using gene expression profiling (GEP) and validated it by different cytogenetic techniques. The model was shown to have an accuracy up to 0.89. These results provide proof of concept for the hypothesis that GEP could serve as a one-stop data source for clinical molecular diagnosis and/or prognosis.

Description
Cells were grown to saturation in YPD (YEP + 2% glucose) for 24 hours, diluted into YPA (YEP + 2% potassium acetate) at OD600= 0.3 and grown over night at 30C. Cells were washed with sterilized water the next day and re-suspended in SPII medium (0.3% potassium acetate, pH = 7.0) at OD600= 1.9 to induce sporulation. Cells were sporulated at room temperature or 30C as indicated. Sporulation medium containing benomyl was always prepared freshly on the day of the experiment following the directions in {Shonn, 2000 #90}. Briefly, DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide, Sigma-Aldrich) or benomyl [Methyl 1-(butylcarbamoyl)-2-benzimidazolecarbamate, Sigma-Aldrich; 30 mg/ml stock in DMSO] was dissolved in near-boiling SPII medium to avoid precipitation. The medium was then allowed to slowly cool to 30C or room temperature. At the time of drug treatment, cells were filtered and immediately re-suspended in the medium containing benomyl or DMSO.

- Affymetrix Arabidopsis ATH1 Genome Array (ath1121501)
Description
Many flowering plants attract pollinators by offering a reward of floral nectar. Remarkably, the molecular events involved in the development of nectaries, the organs that produce nectar, as well as the synthesis and secretion of nectar itself, are poorly understood. Indeed, to date, no genes have been shown to directly affect the de novo production or quality of floral nectar. To address this gap in knowledge, the ATH1 Affymetrix GeneChip array was used to systematically investigate the Arabidopsis nectary transcriptome to identify genes and pathways potentially involved in nectar production. In this study, we identified a large number of genes differentially expressed between secretory lateral nectaries and non-secretory median nectary tissues, as well as between mature lateral nectaries (post-anthessis) and immature lateral nectary tissue (pre-anthesis).

Description
Inherent depot- and age-dependent preadipocyte characteristics may contribute to age-related fat redistribution. Both aging and depot origin affect preadipocyte replication and adipogenesis. To define responsible mechanisms, we analyzed genome-wide expression profiles in epididymal (E) and perirenal (P) preadipocytes cultured from young (3 month) and old (30m) rats. Differences between depots were distinct from and more dramatic than those that occur with aging.

Description
We used microarray analyses of patient myeloma cells (n=52) to correlate individual miRNA expression profiles with GEP-based risk defined by mRNA expression profilesx as well as clinical features of the disease. Unlike for mRNAs, genome-wide elevation of miRNA expression patterns were significantly positively associated with a mRNA-based GEP-risk score (P <.01) and proliferation index (P <.05). Consistent with our observation of global deregulation of miRNA expression profiles, silencing EIF2C2/AGO2, a gene component of the mRNA-based high-risk signature and a master regulator of the genesis and functionality of all miRNAs, dramatically decreased viability in myeloma cell lines.

Description
The Early Growth Response (Egr) family of transcription factors consists of 4 members (Egr1-4) that are expressed in a wide variety of cell types. A large body of evidence point to a role for Egr transcription factors in growth, survival, and differentiation. A major unanswered question is whether Egr transcription factors serve similar functions in diverse cell types by activating a common set of target genes. Signal transduction cascades in neurons and lymphocytes show striking parallels. Activation of either cell type activates the Ras-MAPK pathway and, in parallel, leads to increases in intracellular calcium stimulating the calcineurin-NFAT pathway. In both cell types, the strength of the activation signal affects the cellular outcomes and very strong stimuli lead to cell death. Notably both these pathways converge on the induction of Egr genes. We believe that downstream targets of Egr transcription factors in lymphocytes may also be activated by Egr factors in activated neurons. There is precedence for common target gene activation in these two cell types: apoptosis in both activated T cells and methamphetamine stimulated neurons occurs via FasL induction by NFAT transcription factors. We propose to use developing T lymphocytes (thymocytes) as a model system for discovery of Egr-dependent target genes for several reasons. First, we have observed a prominent survival defect in thymocytes from mice deficient in both Egr1 and Egr3 (1/3 DKO) and a partial differention block in the immature double negative (DN) stage. In addition, thymocytes are an easily manipulatable cell type, and the DN subpopulation affected in 1/3 DKO mice can be isolated to very high purity. We anticipate that 1/3 DKO thymocytes will provide an excellent experimental system that will provide insight into Egr-dependent transcription in neuronal development, activation, and death.
