Description
To identify sex-based differences in gene pathways affected by endgoenous genomic instaiblity resulting in embryonic death, total RNA from E13.5 placentas was isolated for RNAseq. Placentas from male and female embryos from wild-type matings and Mcm4^C3/C3 homozygous matings were used as references. Male and female placentas derived from embryos of the genotype : Mcm4^C3/C3 Mcm2^Gt/+ from either male Mcm4^C3/+ Mcm2^Gt/+ crossed to female Mcm4^C3/C3 or male Mcm4^C3/C3 crossed to female Mcm4^C3/+ Mcm2^Gt/+ were the experimental samples. Overall design: Total RNA was isolated from E13.5 placentas and subjected to directional RNAseq to identify sex-based transciptome differences.

Description
The goal of this study was to identify important genetic pathways that are altered in mammary tumor cells upon over-expression of the tumor suppressor gene Arid1a. The results of this experiment revealed that Arid1a helps regulate key cell-cycle checkpoint and growth regulatory pathways, either directly or indirectly. This helped explain in part the significant decrease in cell proliferation and tumor growth phenotypes observed both in vitro and in vivo, when comparing the same samples analyzed here by RNA-seq (untransduced replicates vs. add-back clonal lines). Overall design: Whole transcriptome comparison of mammary tumor cells derived from Chaos3 mouse model (23116 MT- control) vs. add-back clones overexpressing Arid1a (AB-C1 & AB-C2 - exp). Control and experimental samples were run in duplicate.

Affymetrix Human Genome U133A 2.0 Array (hgu133a2)
Description
Exposure to vanadium pentoxide (V2O5) is a cause of occupational bronchitis. We evaluated gene expression profiles in cultured human lung fibroblasts exposed to V2O5 in vitro in order to identify candidate genes that could play a role in airway remodeling associated with V2O5-induced bronchitis. Gene expression was measured at various time points over a 24 hr period using the Affymetrix Human Genome U133A 2.0 Array. Expression data were preprocessed using RMA with a log2 transformation. Statistical analysis was performed in R using the affylmGUI package using a linear model with contrasts between untreated control and V2O5-exposed fibroblasts. Genes identified as statistically significant were filtered by selecting only those genes that exhibited a > 2-fold change. Quantitative real-time RT-PCR was utilized to confirm expression of selected genes. More than 2000 genes were significantly changed in response to V2O5 over the time course of our experiment. Genes altered by V2O5 were involved in biologic processes related to cell growth and differentiation, oxidative stress responses, immune regulation, and interferon signaling and apoptosis. In particular, V2O5 induced genes that encode growth factors involved in epithelial repair (HB-EGF) or angiogenesis (VEGF), peroxide generating enzymes (SOD2), pro-inflammatory enzymes (PGHS2), while suppressing genes involved in growth arrest (GAS1, STAT-1) and cell cycle inhibition (CDKN1B). Our study also identified a variety of novel genes that could be used as biomarkers of V2O5-induced bronchitis or could serve as candidate genes for disease progression.

Description
Recent research has shown that peripheral treatment with amylin reduces Alzheimers disease (AD) pathology in the brain and improves learning and memory in AD mouse models. To understand the mechanism underlying this novel treatment for AD, we interrogated the transcriptome for changes in cortical gene expression in amyloid precursor protein (APP) transgenic mice treated with amylin compared to a vehicle treated group and wild type (WT) mice. Using weighted gene co-expression network analysis, we discovered that amylin treatment influenced two gene modules linked to AD pathology: 1) a module related to proinflammation and transport/vesicle process that included a hub gene of Cd68, and 2) a module related to mitochondria function that included a hub gene of Atp5b. Amylin treatment restored the expression of most genes in the APP cortex toward levels observed in the WT cortex including 23 key hub genes in these two modules. In cultured activated microglia cell line BV-2, we validated that Cd68 expression was attenuated by amylin through binding to the amylin receptor. Using publically-available transcriptomic human data, we found that the expression levels of the orthologues of these hub genes, including Cd68 and Atp5b, strongly correlated with the neurofibrillary tangle burden in the AD brain and with Mini-Mental Status Exam scores. Our study is the first to show the transcriptome-wide targets of amylin treatment, and further supports the potential use of amylin-type peptides to treat AD.

Description
The incidence and mortality rates of prostate cancer are significantly higher in African-American men when compared to European-American men. We tested the hypothesis that differences in tumor biology contribute to this survival health disparity. Using microarray technology, we obtained gene expression profiles of primary prostate tumors resected from 33 African-American and 36 European-American patients. These tumors were matched on clinical parameters. We also evaluated 18 non-tumor prostate tissues from 7 African-American and 11 European-American patients. The resulting datasets were analyzed for expression differences on the gene and pathway level comparing African-American with European-American patients. Our analysis revealed a significant number of genes, e.g., 162 transcripts at a false-discovery rate less than 5%, to be differently expressed between African-American and European-American patients. Using a disease association analysis, we identified a common relationship of these transcripts with autoimmunity and inflammation. These findings were corroborated on the pathway level with numerous differently expressed genes clustering in immune response, stress response, cytokine signaling, and chemotaxis pathways. Furthermore, a two-gene tumor signature was identified that accurately differentiated between African-American and European-American patients. This finding was confirmed in a blinded analysis of a second sample set. In conclusion, the gene expression profiles of prostate tumors indicate prominent differences in tumor immunobiology between African-American and European-American men. The profiles portray the existence of a distinct tumor microenvironment in these two patient groups.

Description
Neuroblastoma (NBL) is an embryonal cancer of the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) that causes 15% of pediatric cancer deaths. High-risk neuroblastoma is characterized by N-Myc amplification and segmental chromosomal gains and losses. Due to limited disease models, the etiology of neuroblastoma is largely unknown, including both the cell of origin and the majority of oncogenic drivers. We have established a novel system for studying neuroblastoma based on the transformation of neural crest cells (NCCs), the progenitor cells of the SNS, isolated from mouse embryonic day 9.5 trunk neural tube explants. Based on pathology and gene expression analysis, we report the first successful transformation of wild-type NCCs into NBL by enforced expression of N-Myc to generate phenotypically and molecularly accurate tumors that closely model human MYCN-amplified NBL. Using comparative genomic hybridization, we found that NCC-derived neuroblastoma tumors acquired copy number gains and losses that are syntenic to those observed in human MYCN-amplified neuroblastoma including 17q gain, 2p gain and loss of 1p36. When p53-compromised NCCs were transformed with N-Myc we generated primitive neuroectodermal tumors with divergent differentiation including osteosarcoma. These subcutaneous tumors were metastatic to regional lymph nodes, liver and lung. Our novel experimental approach accurately models human neuroblastoma and establishes a new system with potential to study early stages of neuroblastoma oncogenesis, to functionally assess neuroblastoma oncogenic drivers, and to characterize neuroblastoma metastasis.
