Description
Lung cancers are a heterogeneous group of diseases with respect to biology and clinical behavior. Currently, diagnosis and classification are based on histological morphology and immunohistological methods for discrimination between two main histologic groups: small cell lung cancer (SCLC) and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) which account for 20% and 80% of lung carcinomas, respectively. NSCLCs, which are divided into the three major subtypes adenocarcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma and dedifferentiated large cell carcinoma, show different characteristics such as the expression of certain keratins or production of mucin and lack of neuroedocrine differentiation. The molecular pathogenesis of lung cancer involves the accumulation of genetic und epigenetic alterations including the activation of proto-oncogenes and inactivation of tumor suppressor genes which are different for lung cancer subgroups. The development of microarray technologies opened up the possibility to quantify the expression of a large number of genes simultaneously in a given sample. There are several recent reports on expression profiling on lung cancers but the analysis interpretation of the results might be difficult because of the heterogeneity of cellular components. The methods used for sample selection and processing can have a strong influence on the expression values obtained through microarray profiling. Laser capture microdissection (LCM) provides higher specificity in the selection of target cells compared to traditional bulk tissue selection methods, but at an increased processing cost.

Description
To define the molecular abnormalities at the stem cell level in polycythemia vera (PV), we examined global gene expression in circulating CD34+ cells from 19 JAK2 V617F-positive PV patients and 6 normal individuals using Affymetrix oligonucleotide microarray technology. We observed that CD34+ cell gene expression not only differed between the PV patients and the normal controls but also between men and women PV patients. Based on these gender-specific differences in gene expression, we were able to identify 102 genes differentially regulated concordantly by both men and women, which likely represent a core set of genes whose dysregulation is involved in the pathogenesis of PV. Gene expression was verified by Q-PCR of patient CD34+ cell RNA. Using the 102 gene set and unsupervised hierarchical clustering, the 19 PV patients could be separated in two groups that differed significantly with respect to hemoglobin level, thrombosis frequency, splenomegaly, splenectomy or chemotherapy exposure, leukemic transformation and overall survival. These results were confirmed using top scoring pairs, which identified a different set of 29 genes that independently segregated the 19 patients into the same two clinical groups: those with an aggressive form of the disease (7 patients), and those with an indolent form (12 patients).

Description
Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) show pronounced heterogeneity across and within vascular beds, with direct implications for their function in injury response and atherosclerosis. Here we combine single-cell transcriptomics with lineage tracing to examine VSMC heterogeneity in healthy mouse vessels. The transcriptional profiles of single VSMCs consistently reflect their region-specific developmental history and show heterogeneous expression of vascular disease-associated genes involved in inflammation, adhesion and migration. We detect a rare population of VSMC-lineage cells that express the multipotent progenitor marker Sca1, progressively downregulate contractile VSMC genes and upregulate genes associated with VSMC response to inflammation and growth factors. We find that Sca1 upregulation is a hallmark of VSMCs undergoing phenotypic switching in vitro and in vivo, and reveal an equivalent population of Sca1-positive VSMC-lineage cells in atherosclerotic plaques. Together, our analyses identify disease-relevant transcriptional signatures in VSMC-lineage cells in healthy blood vessels, with implications for disease susceptibility, diagnosis and prevention. Overall design: This entry contains data from the following analyses: (1) Bulk RNA-seq of mouse VSMCs isolated from aortic arch (AA) and descending thoracic aorta (DT) regions in triplicates. (2) Pooled RNA-seq of mouse Sca1- VSMCs and Sca1- or Sca1+ adventitial cells in triplicates. (3) Single-cell RNA-seq of VSMCs from the AA and DT regions (143 cells). (4) VSMC lineage label positive and negative cells isolated from the medial layer of mouse aorta, which expressed or did not express the Sca1 protein (155 cells). (5) 10X single-cell RNA-seq analysis of: lineage positive plaque cells isolated from mice following 14 or 18 weeks of high fat diet feeding, cells isolated from the whole aorta and lineage positive VSMCs from the medial layer.

Description
We profiled genome-wide gene expression of 170 individual mid-gestation (embryonic day 11.5) whole mouse embryos derived from a 2-generation interspecies mouse cross and asked to what extent genetic variation drives four important parameters of regulatory architecture: allele-specific expression (ASE), imprinting, trans-regulatory effects, and maternal effect. The inbred strain C57BL/6J and wild-derived inbred strain CAST/EiJ were used in reciprocal crosses to generate F1 embryos. F1 progeny were backcrossed to C57BL/6J in reciprocal crosses to generate 154 N2 embryos. We employed a backcross design, in which N2 offspring have genotypically distinct parents, to enable comparison of gene expression for offspring from each side of the reciprocal cross. Our findings demonstrate that genetic variation contributes to widespread gene expression differences during mammalian embryogenesis. Overall design: Transcriptome analysis of E11.5 mouse embryos: 16 F1 embryos from reciprocally crossed C57BL/6J and CastEi/J parents; and 154 N2 embryos from reciprocal backcross of F1s to the C57BL/6J parent.
