Affymetrix Rat Genome 230 2.0 Array (rat2302)
Description
Transcriptomics is developing into an invaluable tool in toxicology. The aim of this study was, using a transcriptomics approach, to identify genes that respond similarly to chemicals (including drugs and industrial compounds) in both rat liver in vivo and in cultivated hepatocytes, which are up- or downregulated by many different test compounds. For this purpose, we analyzed Affymetrix gene array data from 162 compounds that were previously tested in a concentration-dependent manner in rat livers in vivo and rat hepatocytes cultivated in sandwich culture. These data were obtained from the Japanese Toxicogenomics (TGP) and North-Rhine-Westphalian (NRW) data sets, which consist of 138 and 29 compounds, respectively, and have 5 mutual compounds between them. The in vitro gene array data from the NRW data set were generated in the present study, while TGP is publicly available. For each of the data sets, the overlap between up- or down-regulated genes in vitro and in vivo was identified, further named in vitro-in vivo consensus genes. Interestingly, an overlap of in vivo-in vitro consensus genes was obtained between both data sets, which were 21-times (up-regulated genes) or 12-times (down-regulated genes) en-riched compared to random expectation. This is remarkable since the TGP and NRW data sets contained only five mutual compounds. Finally, the genes in the TGP and NRW overlap were used to identify the upregulated genes with the highest com-pound coverage, resulting in a 7-gene set of Cyp1a1, Ugt2b1, Cdkn1a, Mdm2, Aldh1a1, Cyp4a3, and Ehhad. This 7-gene set was then successfully tested with structural analogues of valproic acid that are not present in the TGP and NRW data sets. In conclusion, the 7-gene set identified in the present study responds similarly in vitro and in vivo and is induced by a wide range of different chemicals. Despite these results, transcriptomics with cultivated rat hepatocytes remains a challenge, because many genes are up- or downregulated by the culture conditions, respond differently to test compounds in vitro and in vivo, and shows a higher variability in the in vitro system compared to the corresponding in vivo data.

- Affymetrix Zebrafish Genome Array (zebrafish)
Description
Arterial and venous endothelial cells exhibit distinct molecular characteristics at early developmental stages. These lineage-specific molecular programs are instructive to the development of distinct vascular architectures and physiological conditions of arteries and veins, but their roles in angiogenesis remain unexplored. Here, we show that the caudal vein plexus in zebrafish forms by endothelial cell sprouting, migration and anastomosis, providing a venous-specific angiogenesis model. Using this model, we identified a novel compound, aplexone, which effectively suppresses venous, but not arterial, angiogenesis. Multiple lines of evidence indicate that aplexone differentially regulates arteriovenous angiogenesis by targeting the HMG-CoA reductase (HMGCR) pathway. Treatment with aplexone affects the transcription of enzymes in the HMGCR pathway and reduces cellular cholesterol levels. Injecting mevalonate, a metabolic product of HMGCR, reverses the inhibitory effect of aplexone on venous angiogenesis. In addition, aplexone treatment inhibits protein prenylation and blocking the activity of geranylgeranyl transferase induces a venous angiogenesis phenotype resembling that observed in aplexone-treated embryos. Furthermore, endothelial cells of venous origin have higher levels of proteins requiring geranylgeranylation than arterial endothelial cells and inhibiting the activity of Rac or Rho Kinase effectively reduces the migration of venous, but not arterial, endothelial cells. Taken together, our findings indicate that angiogenesis is differentially regulated by the HMGCR pathway via an arteriovenousdependent requirement for protein prenylation in zebrafish and human endothelial cells.

Description
Multiciliated cells are crucial for fluid and ion transport in epithelia of a variety of organs and their impaired development and function are seen in human diseases affecting the brain, respiratory, and reproductive tracts. Multiciliogenesis requires activation of a specialized transcription program coupled to complex cytoplasmic events that lead to large-scale centriole amplification to generate multicilia. Yet, it remains unclear how these events are coordinated to initiate multiciliogenesis in epithelial progenitors. Here we identify an unsuspected mechanism orchestrated by the transcription factor E2f4 essential to integrate these processes. We show that after inducing a transcriptional program of centriole biogenesis, E2f4 translocates to the cytoplasm to become a core component of structures classically identified as fibrous granules (FG), acting as organizing centers for deuterosome assembly and centriole amplification. Remarkably, loss of cytoplasmic E2f4 prevents FG aggregation, deuterosome assembly and multicilia formation even when E2f4s transcriptional function is preserved. Moreover, in E2f4-deficient cells multiciliogenesis is rescued only if both nuclear and cytoplasmic E2f4 activities are restored. Thus, E2f4 integrates previously unrelated nuclear and cytoplasmic events of the multiciliated cell program.
