Affymetrix Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 Array (hgu133plus2)
Description
The side population (SP), recently identified in several normal tissues and in a variety of tumors, may comprise cells endowed with stem cell features. In this study, we investigated the presence of SP in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) and found it in 4 out of 6 primary cultures from xenotransplants, as well as in 9 out of 25 clinical samples analyzed. SP cells from one xenograft bearing a large SP fraction were characterized in detail and they were capable of recreate the full repertoire of cancer cell populations observed in the parent tumor. Moreover, SP cells had higher proliferation rates, were much less apoptotic compared to non-SP cells, and generated tumors more rapidly than non-SP cells.

Description
mRNA and microRNA expression was examined in global cellular fractions and in RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC)-immunoprecipitated cell fractions in cultured primary human astrocytes (ScienCell) and in cultured human U-87 MG astrocytoma cells (ATCC). ABSTRACT: Background: GW/P bodies are cytoplasmic ribonucleoprotein-rich foci that are involved in microRNA (miRNA)-mediated messenger RNA (mRNA) silencing and degradation. These mRNA regulatory functions within GW/P bodies are mediated by GW182 and its binding partner hAgo2 when bound to miRNA within the RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC). Although miRNAs and mRNAs are known to be localized to RISC in a variety of cells, to date no published study has examined the profile of specific miRNA and mRNA targeted to the RISC. Methodology/Principle Findings: In this study, RISC mRNA and miRNA components were profiled by microarray analysis of human U-87 astrocytoma cells and primary human astrocytes with total RNA extracted from the RISC as well as the global cellular fractions. The novel findings of this study were fourfold: (1) miRNAs are highly enriched in primary astrocyte RISC compared to U-87 astrocytoma RISC, (2) astrocytoma cells and primary astrocytes each contain unique RISC miRNA profiles as compared to their respective cellular miRNA profiles, (3) miR-195, 10b, 29b, 19b, 34a and 455-3p were upregulated and miR-181b was downregulated in U-87 astrocytoma RISC as compared to primary astrocyte RISC, and (4) RISC contain mostly downregulated mRNAs in primary astrocytes and U-87 astrocytoma cells. Conclusions/Significance: We show that in U-87 astrocytoma cells, miR-34a and miR-195 were upregulated in RISC suggesting an oncogenic role for these miRNAs. Three miR34a-targeted mRNAs and two miR-195-targeted mRNAs were downregulated. One miR-195-targeted mRNA was upregulated. Biological pathway analysis of RISC mRNA components suggests that the RISC plays a pivotal role in cancer, inflammatory disease, immunological disease, the cell cycle, cellular movement and numerous cell signaling pathways. This study points to the importance of the RISC and ultimately GW/P body composition and function and in miRNA and mRNA deregulation in astrocytoma cells and possibly for other brain tumors.

Description
To compare up-regulation of genes following CpG activation, we performed microarray analysis of activated macrophages from B6 and F1(B6xMOLF) mouse strains. Cells were activated for 0, 2 and 4 hrs with 200nM of type B CpG. Levels of mRNA for many genes differened dramatically between the strains

Description
In this study, we report the performance of one such technique denoted as sparse full length sequencing (SFL), a ribosomal RNA depletion-based RNA sequencing approach that allows for the simultaneous sequencing of 96 samples and higher. We offer comparisons to well established single-sample techniques, including: full coverage Poly-A capture RNA-seq and microarray, as well as another low-cost highly multiplexed technique known as 3' digital gene expression (3' DGE). Data was generated for a set of exposure experiments on immortalized human lung epithelial (AALE) cells in a two-by-two study design, in which samples received both genetic and chemical perturbations of known oncogenes/tumor suppressors and lung carcinogens. SFL demonstrated improved performance over 3' DGE in terms of coverage, power to detect differential gene expression, and biological recapitulation of patterns of differential gene expression from in vivo lung cancer mutation signatures. Overall design: 3' Digital Gene Expression (3'DGE) for immortalized human bronchial epithelial cells (AALE) exposed to chemical and genotypic perturbations

Description
Exposure to Polychlorobiphenyls (PCBs) is known to cause serious health effects in human but the gene expression profiles leading to development of differnet diseases is not fully understood. The knowledge of global gene expression will help us to devlop early diagnostic biomarkers for PCB induced health effects.

Description
SRC-1 affects the expression of complex I of the mitochondrial electron transport chain, a set of enzymes responsible for the conversion of NADH to NAD(+). NAD(+) and NADH were subsequently identified as metabolites that underlie SRC-1's response to glucose deprivation. Knockdown of SRC-1 in glycolytic cancer cells abrogated their ability to grow in the absence of glucose consistent with SRC-1's role in promoting cellular adaptation to reduced glucose availability
