Affymetrix Human Genome U133A Array (hgu133a)
Description
This study was undertaken to test the hypothesis that short term exposure (4 hours) to physiologic hyperinsulinemia in normal, healthy subjects without a family history of diabetes would induce a low grade inflammatory response, independently of glycemic status. We performed euglycemic hyperinsulinemic (80 mU/m2/min) clamps in 12 healthy, insulin sensitive subjects with no family history of diabetes followed by biopsies of the vastus lateralis muscle taken basally and after 30 and 240 minutes of insulin infusion. Gene expression profiles were generated using Affymetrix HG-U133A arrays. No probe sets had significantly altered expression at 30 minutes of the insulin clamp, but 121 probe sets (117 upregulated and 4 downregulated) were significantly altered after 240 minutes. Hyperinsulinemia in normal, healthy human subjects increased the mRNAs for a number of inflammatory genes and transcription factors. Microarray and quantitative RT-PCR revealed the upregulation of chemokine, cc motif, ligand 2 (CCL2), CCL8, thrombomodulin (THBD), ras-related associated with diabetes (RRAD), metallothionein (MT), and serum/glucocorticoid regulated kinase (SGK), and downregulation of CITED2 (a CREB-binding protein-interacting transactivator), a known coactivator of PPAR-alpha. Interestingly, SGK and CITED2 are located at chromosome 6q23, where we previously detected strong linkage to hyperinsulinemia. A control saline infusion performed on 3 normal, healthy subjects without a family history of diabetes demonstrated that the genes altered following the euglycemic-hyperinsulinemic clamp were due to insulin and independent of biopsy removal. This study demonstrates that insulin acutely regulates the expression of genes involved in inflammation and transcription, and identifies several candidate genes/pathways for further investigation.

- Affymetrix Drosophila Genome 2.0 Array (drosophila2)
Description
Mitochondria are able to modulate cell state and fate during normal and pathophysiologic conditions through a nuclear mediated mechanism collectively termed as a retrograde response. Our previous studies in Drosophila have clearly established that progress through the cell cycle is precisely regulated by the intrinsic activity of the mitochondrion by specific signaling cascades mounted by the cell. As a means to further our understanding of how mitochondrial energy status affects nuclear control of basic cell decisions we have employed Affymetrix microarray-based transcriptional profiling of Drosophila S2 cells knocked down for the gene encoding subunit Va of the complex IV of the mitochondrial electron transport chain. The profiling data identifies up-regulation of glycolytic genes and metabolic studies confirm this increase in glycolysis. The transcriptional portrait which emerges implicates many signaling systems, including a p53 response, an insulin response, and up-regulation of conserved mitochondrial responses. This rich dataset provides many novel targets for further understanding the mechanism whereby the mitochondrion may direct cellular fate decisions. The data also provides a salient model of the shift of metabolism from a predominately oxidative state towards a predominately aerobic glycolytic state, and therefore provides a model of energy substrate management not unlike that found in cancer.

- Affymetrix Human Exon 1.0 ST Array [probe set (exon) version (huex10st)
Description
The heat-shock stress response was studied at the level of exons using Affymetrix Exon-array profiling for both sense and anti-sense transcripts. Sense transcript profiling was done as per the protocol of Affymetrix Exon 1.0 ST array and anti-sense transcript array profiling was done using a modified protocol (Xijin Ge et al., BMC Genomics. 2008 Jan 22;9:27).

Description
Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women worldwide and metastatic dissemination is the principal factor related to death by this disease. Breast cancer stem cells, are thought to be responsible for metastasis and chemoresistance.. In this study, based on whole transcriptome analysis from putative breast CSCs and reverse-engineering of transcription control networks, we were able to identify two networks associated to this phenotype.

Description
Retinal damage causes proliferation of Muller glia, but the degree of proliferation depends on mouse strains. Muller glial proliferation was significantly promoted by the addition of GSK3 inhibitor in 129, but not in B6. We used retinal explant culture as a model for retinal damage which caused preferential photoreceptor death in a few days.

Description
During embryogenesis, the pancreas develops from separate dorsal and ventral buds, which fuse to form the mature pancreas. Little is known about the functional differences between these two buds or the relative contribution of cells derived from each portion to the pancreas after fusion. To follow the fate of dorsal or ventral bud derived cells in the pancreas after fusion, we produced chimeric Elas-GFP transgenic/wild type embryos in which either dorsal or ventral pancreatic bud cells expressed GFP. We found that ventral pancreatic cells migrate extensively into the dorsal pancreas after fusion, whereas the converse does not occur. Moreover, we found that annular pancreatic tissue is composed exclusively of ventral pancreas derived cells. To identify ventral pancreas specific genes that may play a role in pancreatic bud fusion, we isolated individual dorsal and ventral pancreatic buds, prior to fusion, from stage 38/39 Xenopus laevis tadpoles and compared their gene expression profiles. Morpholino-mediated knockdown of one of these ventral specific genes, transmembrane 4 superfamily member 3 (tm4sf3), inhibited dorsal-ventral pancreatic bud fusion as well as acinar cell differentiation. Conversely, overexpression of tm4sf3 promoted the development of annular pancreas. Our results are the first to define molecular and behavioral differences between the dorsal and ventral pancreas, and suggest an unexpected role for the ventral pancreas in pancreatic bud fusion.
Publication Title
The tetraspanin Tm4sf3 is localized to the ventral pancreas and regulates fusion of the dorsal and ventral pancreatic buds.
