Description
Vascular permeability reflects changes in the function of the endothelium, its interendothelial junctions and transcellular delivery. Here, we show that common molecular mechanisms exist between VEGF and histamine in regulating vascular hyperpermeability. Crosstalk between downstream signaling of VEGF and histamine receptors are involved in calcium signaling and cell proliferation. Understanding the molecular mechanisms of vascular permeability is crucial in order to reduce vascular hyperpermeability and oedema in various pathological conditions and in VEGF therapy. Overall design: In despite of the substantial knowledge of VEGF and histamine signal transduction and their physiological responses, molecular mechanisms inducing endothelial cell permeability and proliferation have remained inconclusive. To monitor the transcriptional alteration of proteins known to regulate the endothelial permeability, next-generation RNA sequencing was used. Fold changes of several genes known to regulate calcium signaling, cell adhesion, cell proliferation, ion flux and immune response were compared between the permeabilizing agents.

Affymetrix Drosophila Genome 2.0 Array (drosophila2)
Description
Gene expression in larval, early third instar eye-antenna discs was assessed to reveal an ATF4 contribution to target gene induction following COX7a knockdown. As hypothesised, these COX7a-RNAi induced target genes require the transcription factor ATF4 for induction, irrespective of concomitant Notch pathway activation through Delta over-expression.

- Affymetrix Drosophila Genome 2.0 Array (drosophila2)
Description
Gene expression in larval, early third instar eye-antenna discs was assesed in genotypes with Notch Gain-of-Function (UAS-Delta or UAS-Notch[intra2]) over-expression or mitochondrial COX7a Loss-of-function (UAS-COX7a-RNAi) or a combination of both (UAS-Delta, UAS-COX7a-RNAi). The analysis revealed that, despite a strong genetic interaction between Notch pathway activation and knockdown of COX7a, no transcriptional cooperation or synergy was detectable in early L3 eye-antenna discs. Rather, COX7a knockdown induced a unique transcriptional signature, which further experiments revealed to be mediated by the transcription factor ATF4.

Description
The expression levels of many genes show wide natural variation among strains or populations. This study investigated the potential for animal strain-related genotypic differences to confound gene expression profiles in acute cellular rejection (ACR). Additional analysis allowed for selection of 49 candidate genes uniquely associated with ACR, but only after accounting for the unexpectedly large effect of animal strain. Studies of ACR that examine gene expression in peripheral blood may be confounded by strain differences. These results indicate the need for study designs that eliminate or control for the large effect of genetic background on the transcriptome of immune cells.
