Affymetrix Human Gene 1.0 ST Array (hugene10st)
Description
The instrinsic regenerative capacity of human fetal cardiac mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) has not been fully characterised. Here we demonstrate that we can expand cells with characteristics of cardiovascular progenitor cells from the MSC population of human fetal hearts with only minor fluctuations over time in culture (from day 15 to day 48).

Description
High-density lipoproteins (HDLs) protect pancreatic cells against apoptosis. This property might be related to the increased risk to develop diabetes in patients with low HDL blood levels. However, the mechanisms by which HDLs protect cells are poorly characterized. Here we use a transcriptomic approach to identify genes differentially modulated by HDLs in cells subjected to apoptotic stimuli.

Involvement of 4E-BP1 in the protection induced by HDLs on pancreatic beta-cells.

Description
Estrogen receptor-{alpha} (ER{alpha}) and its ligand estradiol play critical roles in breast cancer growth and are important therapeutic targets for this disease. Using chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP)-on-chip, ligand-bound ER{alpha} was recently found to function as a master transcriptional regulator via binding to many cis-acting sites genome-wide. Here, we used an alternative technology (ChIP cloning) and identified 94 ER{alpha} target loci in breast cancer cells. The ER{alpha}-binding sites contained both classic estrogen response elements and nonclassic binding sequences, showed specific transcriptional activity in reporter gene assay, and interacted with the key transcriptional regulators, including RNA polymerase II and nuclear receptor coactivator-3. The great majority of the binding sites were located in either introns or far distant to coding regions of genes. Forty-three percent of the genes that lie within 50 kb to an ER{alpha}-binding site were regulated by estradiol. Most of these genes are novel estradiol targets encoding receptors, signaling messengers, and ion binders/transporters. mRNA profiling in estradiol-treated breast cancer cell lines and tissues revealed that these genes are highly ER{alpha} responsive both in vitro and in vivo. Among estradiol-induced genes, Wnt11 was found to increase cell survival by significantly reducing apoptosis in breast cancer cells. Taken together, we showed novel genomic binding sites of ER{alpha} that regulate a novel set of genes in response to estradiol in breast cancer. Our findings suggest that at least a subset of these genes, including Wnt11, may play important in vivo and in vitro biological roles in breast cancer.

- Affymetrix Mouse Genome 430 2.0 Array (mouse4302)
Description
Gonadal sex determining (GSD) genes that initiate fetal ovarian and testicular development and differentiation are expressed in the cells of the urogenital ridge that differentiate as somatic support cells (SSCs), i.e., granulosa cells of the ovary and Sertoli cells of the testis. To identify potential new mammalian GSD genes, we analyzed the gene expression differences between XX and XY SSCs cells isolated from the gonads of embryonic day (E) 13 mouse fetuses carrying an EGFP reporter transgene expressed specifically in SSCs. In addition, genome wide expression differences between XX and XY E13 whole gonads were examined. Newly identified differentially expressed transcripts are potential GSD genes involved in unexplained human sex reversal cases.

Description
SOX4 is a critical developmental transcription factor in vertebrates and is required for precise differentiation and proliferation in multiple tissues. In addition, SOX4 is overexpressed in many human malignancies, but the precise role of SOX4 in cancer progression is not well understood. Here we have performed an expression profiling experiment of LNCaP cells either overexpressing SOX4 or GFP to identify SOX4 target genes.

SOX4 is a critical developmental transcription factor in vertebrates and is required for precise differentiation and proliferation in multiple tissues. In addition, SOX4 is overexpressed in many human malignancies, but the precise role of SOX4 in cancer progression is not well understood. Here we have either eliminated SOX4 using siRNA or overexpressed a SOX4 cDNA and compared the gene expression patterns against control GFP transfections to identify SOX4 target genes.

Description
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a heterogeneous disease and AML with normal karyotype (AML-NK) is categorized as an intermediate-risk group. Over the past years molecular analyses successfully identified biomarkers that will further allow to dissecting clinically meaningful subgroups in this disease. Thus far, somatic mutations were identified which elucidate the disturbance of cellular growth, proliferation, and differentiation processes in hematopoietic progenitor cells. In AML-NK, acquired gene mutations with prognostic relevance were identified for FLT3, CEBPA, and NPM1. FLT3-ITD mutations were associated with short relapse-free and overall survival, while mutations in CEBPA or NPM1 (without concomitant FLT3-ITD) had a more favorable outcome.

- Affymetrix Human Exon 1.0 ST Array [probe set (exon) version (huex10st)
Description
Alternative mRNA splicing represents an effective mechanism of regulating gene function and is a key element to increase the coding capacity of the human genome. Today, an increasing number of reports illustrates that aberrant splicing events are common and functionally important for cancer development. However, more comprehensive analyses are warranted to get novel insights into the biology underlying malignancies like e.g. acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Here, we performed a genome-wide screening of splicing events in AML using an exon microarray platform. We analyzed complex karyotype and core binding factor (CBF) AML cases (n=64) in order to evaluate the ability to detect alternative splicing events distinguishing distinct leukemia subgroups. Testing different commercial and open source software tools to compare the respective AML subgroups, we could identify a large number of potentially alternatively spliced transcripts with a certain overlap of the different approaches. Selected candidates were further investigated by PCR and sequence analysis: out of 24 candidate genes studied, we could confirm alternative splice forms in 8 genes of potential pathogenic relevance, such as PRMT1 regulating transcription through histone methylation and participating in DNA damage response, and PTPN6, which encodes for a negative regulator of cell cycle control and apoptosis. In summary, this first large Exon microarray based study demonstrates that transcriptome splicing analysis in AML is feasible but challenging, in particular with regard to the currently available software solutions. Nevertheless, our results show that alternatively spliced candidate genes can be detected, and we provide a guide how to approach such analyses.
