Affymetrix Mouse Genome 430 2.0 Array (mouse4302)
Description
Tamoxifen, a selective estrogen receptor modulator, is widely used in research and clinically in patients. Tamoxifen injection (3 consecutive days, intraperitoneal, 5mg/20g mouse body weight) causes dramatic rearrangement of the gastric mucosa with loss of > 90% of PCs, a 6-fold increase in proliferation in stem/progenitor cells, and morphological changes in the ZCs in the bases of gastric-units.

Description
MIST1 is a bHLH transcription factor that is necessary for the maturation of gastric zymogenic cells as they differentiate from their precursor mucous neck cells. In this experiment, mucous neck cells and zymogenic cells of normal, adult C57BL/6 and MIST1 knockout mice were laser-capture microdissected in order to determine MIST1-dependent, zymogenic cell specific gene expression.

Description
This study shows for the first time that the FOXP3?3 isoform is preferentially expressed in bladder cancer and induces a more aggressive and luminal isoform is preferentially expressed in bladder cancer and induces a more aggressive and luminal regulation of cancer differentiation and the plasticity amongst cancer subtypes which can be leveraged to optimize therapeutic regimens. These findings also identify a novel molecular marker as a putative companion diagnostic to guide therapy and target to undermine chemotherapy resistance. Overall design: examination of RNA-Seq in two bladder cancer cell lines

Description
Host-microbe associations underlie many key processes of host development, immunity, and life history. Yet, none of the current research on the central model species Caenorhabditis elegans considers the worm's natural microbiome. Instead, almost all laboratories exclusively use the canonical strain N2 and derived mutants, maintained through routine bleach sterilization in monoxenic cultures with an E. coli strain as food. Here, we characterize for the first time the native microbiome of C. elegans and assess its influence on nematode life history characteristics via transcriptomics. Overall design: mRNA profiles of wild type (WT) C.elegans fed to either Ochrobactrum strain MYb65, MYb71, mixture of MYb65 and MYb71 or standard lab food E. coli OP50 at different life stages (from L2 to adults) were generated by deep sequencing, in triplicate, using Illumina HiSeq2000.

Description
The differentiation of the hormone-producing cell lineages of the anterior pituitary represents an informative model of mammalian cell fate determination. The generation and maintenance of two of these lineages, the growth hormone (GH) producing somatotropes and prolactin (PRL) producing lactotropes, is dependent on the pituitary-specific POU-homeo domain transcription factor, POU1F1. While POU1F1 is expressed in both cell types, and plays a direct and essential role in the activation of both the Gh and Prl genes, GH expression is restricted to somatotropes and PRL expression is restricted to lactotropes. These observations imply the existence of additional, cell type-enriched factors, that contribute to the somatotrope and lactotrope cell identities. Here, we use a set of transgenic mouse models to facilitate sorting of somatotrope and lactotrope populations based on the expression of distinct fluorescent markers expressed under Gh and Prl gene transcriptional controls, respectively. The transcriptomic analyses reveal a concordance of gene expression profiles in the two populations. The limited number of divergent mRNAs between the two populations includes a set of transcription factors that may have roles in pituitary lineage divergence or in regulating the expression of key lineage-specific genes after lineage divergence. Four of these factors were validated for lineage enrichment at the level of protein expression, two somatotrope-enriched and two lactotrope-enriched, and three of these four factors were shown to have corresponding activities in appropriate enhancement or repression of landmark genes. These studies establish a useful database for further study of the somatotrope and lactotrope cells as well as identify novel regulators of lineage marker expression in the anterior pituitary. Overall design: 6 total samples, 3 biological replicates of the somatotrope cell type and 3 biological replicates of the lactotrope cell type

Description
Background and Aim: Fra-1 (Fos-related antigen-1) is a member of the AP1 (activator protein-1) family of transcription factors. We have recently shown that Fra-1 is necessary for breast cancer cells to metastasize in vivo, and that breast cancer outcome can be predicted by a classifier comprising genes that are expressed in a Fra-1-dependent fashion. Here, we show that Fra-1 plays an important role also in colon cancer progression. Methods: We compared proliferation rates of parental and Fra-1-depleted colon cancer cells in vitro under 2D, 3D, and attachment-free conditions and in vivo upon subcutaneous and intravenous injections into mice. We also compared RNA expression profiles of colon cancer cells with and without Fra-1 expression. Results: Fra-1 depletion impair colony outgrowth of human colon cancer cells in soft agar and in suspension, whereas it does not affect proliferation on 2D culture plates. Consistent with this, upon subcutaneous injection into mice, tumors formed by Fra-1-depleted colon cancer cells are only three times smaller than those produced by control cells. In contrast, when injected intravenously, Fra-1 depletion causes 200-fold reduction in tumor burden. Consistent with the more aggressive characteristics of Fra-1-proficient tumors, the prognosis of colon cancer patients can be predicted by a Fra-1 classifier generated by comparing RNA profiles of parental and Fra-1-depleted colon cancer cells. Conclusions: Our results demonstrate that Fra-1 is an important determinant of the metastatic potential of human colon cancer cells, and suggest that a Fra-1 classifier can be used as a prognostic predictor in colon cancer patients. Overall design: HT29 cell line, two shRNAs against Fra-1, one empty vector control, three biological replicates

Description
M端ller cells (MCs) play a crucial role in the retina, and cultured MC lines are an important tool with which to study MC function. Transformed MC lines have been widely used; however, the transformation process can also lead to unwanted changes compared to the primary cells from which they were derived. A monoclonal spontaneously immortalized rat M端ller cell line, SIRMu-1, was derived from primary rat MCs and characterized by RNA-sequencing (in addition to immunofluorescence and western blotting) in comparison to primary MCs and the SV40-immortalized MC line, rMC-1. Overall design: RNA-seq was performed on enriched polyA RNA from primary M端ller cells (4 biological replicates of passage numbers 3-4), SIRMu-1 cells (5 biological replicates of passage numbers 6-20, two of which were cultured in the presence of the antibiotic gentamicin and the antifungal amphotericin B to match the culture conditions of the primary MCs), and rMC-1 cells (3 biological replicates of passage numbers 23-26).
