Affymetrix Mouse Gene 2.1 ST Array (mogene21st)
Description
The complex of NF90 and NF45 is known to participate in transcriptional regulation, mRNA stabilization and microRNA biogenesis in vitro. However, the physiological function of the NF90-NF45 complex is still unclear. To elucidate its functions, we generated NF90-NF45 double transgenic (dbTg) mice. Robust expression of NF90 and NF45 was detected in skeletal muscle. As mentioned above, NF90-NF45 complex is involved in regulation of genes via transcription and RNA metabolism. To identify genes regulated by NF90-NF45, we performed comprehensive analyses of mRNA expression in quadriceps of wild-type (WT) and NF90-NF45 dbTg mice.

Description
Previously we had shown in a mouse model of bronchial asthma that thrombomodulin (TM; CD141; BDCA3) can convert immunogenic conventional dendritic cells into tolerogenic dendritic cells while inducing its own expression on the cell surface. Thrombomodulin+ dendritic cells are tolerogenic while thrombomodulin- dendritic cells are pro-inflammatory and immunogenic. Here we hypothesized that thrombomodulin treatment of dendritic cells would modulate inflammatory gene expression. Murine bone marrow derived dendritic cells were treated with soluble thrombomodulin and expression of surface markers was determined. Treatment with thrombomodulin reduces the expression of maturation markers and increases the expression of TM on the DC surface. Thrombomodulin treated and control dendritic cells were sorted into thrombomodulin+ and thrombomodulin- dendritic cells before their mRNA was analyzed by microarray. mRNAs encoding pro-inflammatory genes and dendritic cells maturation markers were reduced while cell cycle genes were increased in thrombomodulin-treated and thrombomodulin+ dendritic cells compared to control dendritic cells and thrombomodulin- dendritic cells.

Description
Prophase I of male meiosis involves dynamic chromosome segregation processes during early spermatogenesis, including synapsis, meiotic recombination, and cohesion. Genetic defects in genes participating in these processes consistently cause reproduction failure in mice. To identify candidate genes responsible for infertility in humans, we performed expression profiling of mouse spermatogenic cells undergoing meiotic prophase I.

Prophase I of meiosis involves dynamic chromosome segregation processes including synapsis, meiotic recombination, and cohesion. Genetic defects in genes participating in these processes consistently cause reproduction failure in mice. To identify candidate genes responsible for infertility or recurrent pregnancy loss in humans, we performed expression profiling of male and female gonads of mice undergoing meiotic prophase I.

Description
HOX genes encode a family of homeodomain-containing transcription factors involved in the determination of cell fate and identity during embryonic development. They also behave as oncogenes in some malignancies. In this study, we found high expression of the HOXD9 gene transcript in glioma cell lines and human glioma tissues by quantitative real-time PCR. Using immunocytochemistry, we observed HOXD9 protein expression in human brain tumor tissues, including astrocytomas and glioblastomas. To investigate the role of HOXD9 in gliomas, we silenced its expression in the glioma cell line U87 using HOXD9-specific siRNA, and observed decreased cell proliferation, cell cycle arrest, and induction of apoptosis. It was suggested that HOXD9 contributes to both cell proliferation and/or cell survival. The HOXD9 gene was highly expressed in a side population (SP) of SK-MG-1 cells that was previously identified as an enriched-cell fraction of glioma cancer stem-like cells. HOXD9 siRNA treatment of SK-MG-1 SP cells resulted in reduced cell proliferation. Finally, we cultured human glioma cancer stem cells (GCSCs) from patient specimens found with high expression of HOXD9 in GCSCs compared with normal astrocyte cells and neural stem/progenitor cells (NSPCs). Our results suggest that HOXD9 may be a novel marker of GCSCs and cell proliferation and/or survival factor in gliomas and glioma cancer stem-like cells, and a potential therapeutic target.

Description
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a heterogeneous disease classified into four consensus molecular subtype (CMSs) with distinct biological and clinical features. This study aims to understand the value of patient-derived xenografts (PDXs) in relation to these CMSs. A total of 42 primary tumors, recurrences and metastases were used to develop PDXs. Detailed genetic analyses were performed on PDXs and corresponding patient tumors to determine relationship and PDX heterogeneity. Out of 42 tumors 22 (52%) showed successfully PDX engraftment, which was biased towards metastases and CMS1 and CMS4 tumors. Importantly, gene expression analysis revealed a clinical relevant association between an engraftment gene signature and prognosis for stage II patients. Moreover, this gene signature revealed an association between Src pathway activation and positive engraftment. Src pathway activity co-aligned with CMS4 and the levels of fibronectin in tumors and was confirmed by pSrc immunohistochemistry. From this analysis we further deduced that decreased cell cycle activity is a prognostic factor for successful engraftment and related to patient prognosis. However, this is not a general phenomenon, but subtype specific as decreased cell cycle activity was highly prognostic for recurrence-free survival within CMS2 but not in CMS1 and CMS4, while it showed an inverse correlation in CMS3. These data illustrate that CRC PDX establishment is biased toward CMS1 and CMS4, which impacts translation of results derived from pre-clinical studies using PDXs. Moreover, our analysis reveals subtype-specific features, pSrc in CMS4 and low Ki67 in CMS2, which provide novel avenues for therapy and diagnosis.
