Affymetrix Mouse Genome 430 2.0 Array (mouse4302)
Description
Social stress is well known to be involved in the occurrence and exacerbation of mental illness, and also various life-style related diseases such as hyperinsulinemia, hyperglycemia, cardiovascular diseases and cancer. However, there is little information on tissue-specific gene expression in response to social stress, which reflects our daily life. Liver is one of the most important organs, owing to its biological functions such as energy metabolic homeostasis, metabolization and detoxification of endo- and exogenous substances. In order to elucidate the mechanism underlying response to social stress in the liver, we investigated hepatic gene expression in mice exposed to isolation stress using DNA microarray. Male BALB/c mice (4 weeks old) were housed 5 per cage for 10 days acclimatization. Then mice were exposed to isolation stress for 30 days. After stress treatment, the mouse liver RNA was subjected to DNA microarray analysis. Taking the false discovery rate into account, isolation stress altered expression of 420 genes. Moreover, Gene Ontology analysis of these differentially expressed genes indicated that isolation stress remarkably down-regulated lipid metabolism-related pathway through peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-alpha (PPARalpha), while lipid biosynthesis pathway regulated by sterol regulatory element binding factor-1 (SREBF-1), Golgi vesicle transport and secretory pathway-related genes were significantly up-regulated. These results suggested that isolation for 30 days, mild and consecutive social stress, not only regulate the systems for lipid metabolism but also cause the endoplasmic reticulum stress in mouse liver.

Description
Even after decades of living in the same laboratory environment two Drosophila melanogaster strains originating from North America (Canton-S) and Central Russia (D18) demonstrate a few differentially expressed genes some of which may be important for local adaptation (e.g. genes responsible for insecticide resistance). Genes with different level of expression between Canton-S and D18 strains belong to important metabolic pathways, for instance energy metabolism, carbohydrate metabolic process, locomotion, body temperature rhythm regulation and tracheal network architecture.

Description
In this study we investigated the mechanisms involved in memory T-cell mediated protection using mice vaccinated with the intracellular bacterium Listeria monocytogenes. Our working hypothesis was that rapid activation of cells of the innate immune system, in particular inflammatory Ly6C+ monocytes, were essential in effective protection, in a memory T cell-dependent manner. Thus we generated a comprehensive comparison of the genetic program of activated Ly6C+ monocytes during a primary or a secondary infection with Listeria monocytogenes, at 8 hours post challenge infection.

Description
Epithelial cell adhesion molecule EpCAM is a transmembrane glycoprotein that is dynamically expressed in human and murine renal epithelia during development. The levels of EpCAM in the renal epithelium are upregulated both during regeneration after ischemia/reperfusion injury and in renal-derived carcinomas. The role of EpCAM in early kidney development, however, has remained unclear. To identify potential programs and signaling pathways that are controlled by EpCAM during pronephros development, we developed a method to study the transcriptomes of specific pronephric segments. Combining laser capture microdissection (LCM) with RNA sequencing (RNA-seq), we generated genome-wide transcriptional profiles of the distal late tubules of wild type and EpCAM-deficient embryos. Overall design: RNA-seq of LCM-dissected pronephric cells from EpCAM-deficient and control zebrafish embryos

- Affymetrix Mouse Genome 430A 2.0 Array (mouse430a2)
Description
In this experiment, total RNA was extracted from asynchronous population of L1210 cells and hybridized to Affymetrix 430A 2.0 arrays in order to obtain an expression profile of these cells. We have previously mapped the replication timing of the entire mouse genome in this cell line, using mouse CGH arrays (see E-MEXP-1022). We wanted to validate in our system the known correlation between early replication and expression and to analyze its extent. To this end, we have measured the expression in the same cell line (L1210 cells). Two biological replicates were hybridized to 2 identical microarrays. Expression levels were highly similar between the 2 replicates (r=0.98).

Description
Polycomb group (PcG) proteins play a pivotal role in silencing developmental genes and help to maintain various stem and precursor cells and regulate their differentiation. PcG factors also regulate dynamic and complex regional specification, particularly in mammals, but this activity is mechanistically not well understood. In this study, we focused on proximal-distal (PD) patterning of the mouse forelimb bud to elucidate how PcG factors contribute to a regional specification process that depends on developmental signals. Depletion of the RING1 proteins RING1A (RING1) and RING1B (RNF2), which are essential components of Polycomb repressive complex 1 (PRC1), led to severe defects in forelimb formation along the PD axis. We show that preferential defects in early distal specification in Ring1A/B-deficient forelimb buds accompany failures in the repression of proximal signal circuitry bound by RING1B, including Meis1/2, and the activation of distal signal circuitry in the prospective distal region. Additional deletion of Meis2 induced partial restoration of the distal gene expression and limb formation seen in the Ring1A/B-deficient mice, suggesting a crucial role for RING1-dependent repression of Meis2 and likely also Meis1 for distal specification. We suggest that the RING1-MEIS1/2 axis is regulated by early PD signals and contributes to the initiation or maintenance of the distal signal circuitry.

Description
Two-dimensional patterning of the follicular epithelium in Drosophila oogenesis is required for the formation of three-dimensional eggshell structures. Our analysis of a large number of published gene expression patterns in the follicle cells suggests that they follow a simple combinatorial code based on six spatial building blocks and the operations of union, difference, intersection, and addition. The building blocks are related to the distribution of inductive signals, provided by the highly conserved epidermal growth factor receptor and Decapentaplegic

Affymetrix Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 Array (hgu133plus2)
Description
Due to their somatic cell origin, human induced pluripotent stem cells (HiPSCs) are assumed to carry a normal diploid genome, and adaptive chromosomal aberrations have not been fully evaluated. Here, we analyzed the chromosomal integrity of 66 HiPSC and 38 human embryonic stem cell (HESC) samples from 18 different studies by global gene expression meta-analysis. We report identification of a substantial number of cell lines carrying full and partial chromosomal aberrations, half of which were validated at the DNA level. Several aberrations resulted from culture adaptation, and others are suspected to originate from the parent somatic cell. Our classification revealed a third type of aneuploidy already evident in early passage HiPSCs, suggesting considerable selective pressure during the reprogramming process. The analysis indicated high incidence of chromosome 12 duplications, resulting in significant enrichment for cell cycle related genes. Such aneuploidy may limit the differentiation capacity and increase the tumorigenicity of HiPSCs.
