Affymetrix Human Genome U133A Array (hgu133a)
Description
Background and aims: Dysregulation of intestinal epithelial cells performance associates with an array of pathologies whose onset mechanisms are incompletely understood. The aim of the present study was to provide a map of gene expresssion patterns along the human healthy adult gastro-intestinal tract and to implement a new procedure for microarray data noise filtering that would allow their use as a reference when screening for pathological deviations, such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Methods: Gene expression profiles in antrum, duodenum, jejunum, ileum and transverse colon biopsies were measured with the Affymetrix U133A array and principal component analysis was used to identify region-selective biomarkers. These data were intersected with highly variable genes from a public dataset of gene expression in the ileal and colonic healthy regions of UC and Crohns disease patients. Moreover, gene sets covering gut functions not entirely accounted for by the available public tools were constructed to monitor their expression along the GI tract. Results: 166 genes were found to be responsible for distinguishing the five regions considered. Fourteen had never been described in the GI tract, including a semaphorin probably implicated in pathogen invasion, and six other novel genes. Similar analysis of the IBD datasets revealed that samples stratify based on disease rather than on the intestinal region. This withstanding, eleven genes were identified as possible early predictors of Crohns and/or UC in ileum and/or colon. These include CLCA4 and SLC26A2, both implicated in ion transport. Conclusions: This novel approach, validated by retrieving known gene profiles, allowed the identification of promising new leads both in health and IBD state.

Description
The receptor-interacting protein-associated ICH-1/CED-3 homologous protein with a death domain (Raidd) functions as a dual adaptor protein due to its bipartite nature, and is therefore thought to be a constituent of different multiprotein complexes including the PIDDosome, where it connects the cell death-related protease, Caspase-2, with the p53-induced protein with a death domain 1 (Pidd1). As such, Raidd has been implicated in DNA-damage-induced apoptosis as well as in tumor suppression, the latter based on its role as a direct activator of Caspase-2, known to delay lymphomagenesis caused by overexpression of c-Myc or loss of ATM kinase. As loss of Caspase-2 leads to an acceleration of tumor onset in the E-Myc mouse model we set out to interrogate the role of Raidd in this process in more detail. Our data obtained analyzing E-Myc/Raidd-/- mice indicate that Raidd is unable to protect from c-MYC-driven lymphomagenesis. Similarly, we failed to observe an effect of Raidd-deficiency on thymic lymphomagenesis induced by y-irradiation or fibrosarcoma development driven by 3-methylcholanthrene. The role of Caspase-2 as a tumor suppressor can therefore be uncoupled from its ability to interact and auto-activate upon binding to Raidd. Further, we provide supportive evidence that the tumor suppressive role of Caspase-2 is related to maintaining genomic integrity and allowing efficient p53-mediated signaling. Overall, our findings suggest that Raidd, although described to be the key-adapter allowing activation of the tumor suppressor Caspase-2, fails to suppress tumorigenesis in vivo.

Description
Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) is histologically characterized by the absence of the hormone receptors estrogen and progesterone, in addition to having a negative immunostain for HER-2. The aggressiveness of this disease and lack of targeted therapeutic options for treatment is of high clinical importance. MicroRNAs are short 21- to 23 nucleotide endogenous non-coding RNAs that regulate gene expression by binding to mRNA transcripts, resulting in either decreased protein translation or mRNA degradation. Dysregulated expression of miRNAs is now a hallmark of many human cancers. In order to identify a miRNA/mRNA interaction that is biologically relevant to the triple negative breast cancer genotype/phenotype, we initially conducted a miRNA profiling experiment to detect differentially expressed miRNAs in cell line models representing the triple negative (MDA-MB-231), ER+ (MCF7), and HER-2 overexpressed (SK-BR-3) histotypes. We identified human miR-34a expression as being >3-fold down (from its median expression value across all cell lines) in MDA-MB-231 cells, and identified AXL as a putative mRNA target using multiple miRNA/target prediction algorithms. The miR-34a/AXL interaction was functionally characterized through ectopic overexpression experiments with a miR-34a mimic. In reporter assays, miR-34a binds to the putative target site within the AXL 3UTR to affect luciferase expression. We also observed degradation of AXL mRNA and decreased AXL protein levels, as well as cell signaling effects on AKT phosphorylation and phenotypic effects on cell migration. Finally, we present an inverse correlative trend in miR-34a and AXL expression for both cell line and patient tumor samples.
