Description
Calorie restriction (CR) is a dietary intervention that extends lifespan and healthspan in a variety of organisms. CR improves mitochondrial energy production, fuel oxidation and reactive oxygen species scavenging in skeletal muscle and other tissues, and these processes are thought to be critical to the benefits of CR. PGC-1a is a transcriptional coactivator that regulates mitochondrial function and is induced by CR. Consequently, many of the mitochondrial and metabolic benefits of CR are attributed to increased PGC-1a activity. To test this model for the first time, we examined the metabolic and mitochondrial response to CR in mice lacking skeletal muscle PGC-1a (MKO). Surprisingly, MKO mice demonstrated a normal improvement in glucose homeostasis in response to CR, indicating that skeletal muscle PGC-1a is dispensable for the whole-body benefits of CR. In contrast, gene expression profiling and electron microscopy demonstrated that PGC-1a is required for the full CR-induced increases in mitochondrial gene expression and mitochondrial density in skeletal muscle. These results demonstrate that PGC-1a is a major regulator of the mitochondrial response to CR in skeletal muscle, but surprisingly show that neither PGC-1a nor mitochondrial biogenesis in skeletal muscle are required for the metabolic benefits of CR.

Description
In human cells, Staufen1 is double-stranded RNA-binding protein involved in several cellular functions including mRNA localization, translation and decay. We used a genome wide approach to identify and compare the mRNA targets of mammalian Staufen1. The mRNA content of Staufen1 mRNPs was identified by probing DNA microarrays with probes derived from mRNAs isolated from immunopurified Staufen-containing complexes following transfection of HEK293T cells with a Stau1-HA expressor. Our results indicate that 7% of the cellular RNAs expressed in HEK293T cells are found in Stau1-containing mRNPs. There is a predominance of mRNAs involved in cell metabolism, transport, transcription, regulation of cell processes and catalytic activity.
Publication Title
A genome-wide approach identifies distinct but overlapping subsets of cellular mRNAs associated with Staufen1- and Staufen2-containing ribonucleoprotein complexes.

Description
In human cells, Staufen2 is a double-stranded RNA-binding protein involved in several cellular functions. Although 51% identical to Staufen1, these proteins are nevertheless found in different RNA particles. In addition, differential splicing events generate Staufen2 isoforms that only differ at their N-terminal extremities. We used a genome wide approach to identify and compare the mRNA targets of mammalian Staufen2 isoforms. The mRNA content of Staufen mRNPs was identified by probing DNA microarrays with probes derived from mRNAs isolated from immunopurified Staufen2-containing complexes following transfection of HEK293T cells with Stau2-HA (59kDa) or Stau2-HA (62kDa) expressors. Our results indicate that 11% of the cellular RNAs expressed in HEK293T cells are found in Stau2-containing mRNPs. There is a predominance of mRNAs involved in cell metabolism, transport, transcription, regulation of cell processes and catalytic activity.

Description
To better understand the scale of gene expression changes that occur during the formation of mature adipocytes from preadipocytes, we compared and characterised the transcriptome profile of mesenchymal stromal cells derived from human adipose tissue, otherwise known as adipose-derived stromal cells (ASCs), undergoing adipocyte differentiation on day 1, 7, 14 and 21 (representing the early to late stage process of adipogenesis). Microarray technique was systematically employed to study gene expression in adipose-derived stromal cells during adipogenic differentiation over a 21 day period to identify genes that are important in driving adipogenesis in humans.

Genome-wide analysis of gene expression during adipogenesis in human adipose-derived stromal cells reveals novel patterns of gene expression during adipocyte differentiation.

Description
We have reported previously that when chromosome Y (chrY) from the mouse strain C57BL/6J (abbreviated as B) was substituted for that of A/J mice (ChrY<A>), cardiomyocytes from the resulting 'chromosome substitution' C57BL/6J-chrY<A> strain (abbreviated as B.Y) were smaller than that of their C57BL/6J counterparts. In reverse, when chrY<A> from A/J mice was substituted for that of chrY<B>, cardiomyocytes from the resulting A/J-chrY<C57> strain were larger than in their A/J counterparts. We further used these strains (B and the consomic B.Y) to test whether the origin of chrY could also be linked to differences in the profile of gene expression in their cardiac left ventricles in adult mice where either sham surgery (intact animals) or castration has been performed at 3-4 weeks of age..

Description
MEN1 is a tumor suppressor gene loss of which causes lipoma (fatty tumors under the skin) and many other endocrine and non-endocrine tumors. It's target genes in fat cells (adipocytes) are unknown. Gene expression in adipocytes that were in vitro differentiated from mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs) of Men1-nul l(Men1-KO) and WT mice were compared to assess the expression of genes upon menin loss in adipocytes that could lead to the deveopment of lipoma.
