Affymetrix Human Gene 1.0 ST Array (hugene10st)
Description
Differences in the inherent properties of undifferentiated fat cell progenitors may contribute to the biological specificity of the abdominal subcutaneous (Sc) and visceral omental (V) fat depots. In this study, the biological characteristics of three distinct subpopulations of adipose tissue-derived stem cells (ASC), i.e. ASCSVF, ASCBottom and ASCCeiling isolated from Sc and V adipose tissue biopsies of non-obese subjects, were investigated. Genome-wide differential gene expression analysis followed by quantitative RT-PCR and analysis of cytokines in the ASC-derived conditioned medium were performed. By analysis of 28,869 annotated genes, 1,019 genes resulted differentially expressed between Sc-ASC and V-ASC. Within the Sc-ASC and V-ASC populations, 546 and 1,222, respectively, were the genes differentially expressed among ASCSVF, ASCBottom and ASCCeiling. A far more striking difference was found when the hierarchical clusters analysis was performed comparing each Sc-ASC with its own homologous V-ASC subset. mRNA levels of HoxA5, Tbx15, PI16, PITPNC1, FABP5, IL-6, IL-8, MCP-1, VEGF, MMP3, TFPI2, and ANXA10 were significantly different between Sc-ASC and V-ASC. Of the 27 cytokines measured, 14 (IL-2, IL-4, IL-5 IL-7, IL-9, IL-10, IL12, IL13, MIP1-, MIP1-, PDGF-, FGFbasic, GM-CSF, IP-10) were not released, whereas 13 were expressed (IL-1beta, IL-1ra, IL-15, IL-17, G-CSF, IFN, RANTES, TNF-, Eotaxin, IL-8, MCP-1, VEGF, IL-6), and of these, MCP-1, Eotaxin, IL-1ra, FGFbasic, IL-6, IL-8, G-CSF, and VEGF were significantly different among ASCSVF, ASCCeiling and ASCBottom of the two adipose tissue depots. These results demonstrate the existence of genetically and functionally heterogeneous fat-derived ASC populations, which may add to the complexity and specificity of Sc and V adipose tissue in humans.

Description
Cells adapt to environmental changes, including fluctuations in oxygen levels, through the induction of specific gene expression programs. To identify genes regulated by hypoxia at the transcriptional level, we pulse-labeled HUVEC cells with 4-thiouridine and sequenced nascent transcripts. Then, we searched genome-wide binding profiles from the ENCODE project for factors that correlated with changes in transcription and identified binding of several components of the Sin3A co-repressor complex, including SIN3A, SAP30 and HDAC1/2, proximal to genes repressed by hypoxia. SIN3A interference revealed that it participates in the downregulation of 75% of the hypoxia-repressed genes in endothelial cells. Unexpectedly, it also blunted the induction of 47% of the upregulated genes, suggesting a role for this corepressor in gene induction. In agreement, ChIP-seq experiments showed that SIN3A preferentially localizes to the promoter region of actively transcribed genes and that SIN3A signal was enriched in hypoxia-repressed genes, prior exposure to the stimulus. Importantly, SINA3 occupancy was not altered by hypoxia in spite of changes in H3K27ac signal. In summary, our results reveal a prominent role for SIN3A in the transcriptional response to hypoxia and suggest a model where modulation of the associated histone deacetylase activity, rather than its recruitment, determines the transcriptional output. Overall design: Exponentially growing non-synchronized HUVEC were exposed to normoxia or hypoxia (21% or 1% oxygen respectively) for 8 hours and pulse-labelled with 4-thiouridine during the last two hours of treatment. RNA was extracted from samples in each condition (total RNA) and an aliquot was subjected to affinity chromatography to purify the 4-thiouridine-labelled (newly transcribed RNA, Newly Tr) and non-labelled (Pre-existent) RNA fractions. All three RNA fractions (total, newly transcribed and pre-existent) from each sample were analyzed by high-throughput sequencing. Submission includes 12 samples corresponding to 3 independent biological replicates.

Overall design: Exponentially growing non-synchronized HUVEC were transduced with lentiviral particles encoding for shRNA targeting EPAS1 or control shRNA. 72h after infection, cells were exposed to normoxia or hypoxia (21% or 1% oxygen respectively) for 8 hours and pulse-labelled with 4-thiouridine during the last two hours of treatment. RNA was extracted from samples in each condition (total RNA) and an aliquot subjected to affinity chromatography to purify the 4-thiouridine-labelled RNA fraction (newly transcribed RNA, Newly Tr). Both RNA fractions from each condition were analyzed by high-throughput sequencing. Data includes 8 samples from a single biological replicate.

Description
Sugars modulate expression of hundreds of genes in plants. Previous studies on sugar signaling, using intact plants or plant tissues, were hampered by tissue heterogeneity, uneven sugar transport and/or inter-conversions of the applied sugars. This, in turn, could obscure the identity of a specific sugar that acts as a signal affecting expression of given gene in a given tissue or cell-type. To bypass those biases, we have developed a novel biological system, based on stem-cell-like Arabidopsis suspension culture. The cells were grown in a hormone-free medium and were sustained on xylose as the only carbon source. The functional genomics approach was used to identify sugar responsive genes, which rapidly (within 1 h) respond specifically to low concentration (1 mM) of glucose, fructose and/or sucrose.

The basic defect of IgA nephropathy (IgAN) lies within peripheral blood mononuclear cells rather than local kidney abnormalities. Previously we showed an altered gene expression in monocytes compared to B and T cells isolated from IgAN patients (Kidney Int, 2010), thus our aim here was to study this subset more closely at genome-wide level.
