Affymetrix Human Gene 1.0 ST Array (hugene10st)
Description
Although Human papillomavirus infection is the main causal factor for cervical cancer (CC), there is data suggesting genetic factors could modulate the risk and progression of CC. Sibling studies suggest that maternally inherited factors could be involved in CC. To assess whether mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) polymorphisms are associated to cervical cancer, HPV infection and HPV types, a case-control study was performed in the Mexican mestizo population. The polymorphism of mtDNA D-Loop was investigated in 187 cervical cancer patients and 270 healthy controls. D-loop was amplified from a blood DNA sample and analyzed by sequencing. HPV was detected and typed in cervical scrapes from both groups. mtDNA polymorphisms were compared in the whole samples and stratified by HPV types. The expression of 29 mitochondrial genes was analyzed in a subset of 45 tumor biopsies using the expression microarray ST1.0. The Amerindian haplogroup B2 increased the risk for CC (OR=1.6, 95% CI: 1.05-2.58) and showed an additive effect of 36% over the risk conferred by the HPV (OR=153, 95% CI: 65.4-357.5). The frequency of HPV 16, 18, 31 and 45 in cancer samples was similar in all haplogroups but one (D1). It showed a very low frequency of HPV16, any HPV18 and high frequency of HPVs 31, 45 and other types. Two mtDNA genes (MT-TD, MTTK) could be involved in the increased risk conferred by the haplogroup B2, since they were up-regulated exclusively in B2 tumors (p<0.05, t-test). These findings will contribute to clarify the importance of genetic factors in CC.

Description
Cardiac-specific PPARalpha transgenic (Tg-PPARalpha) mice show mild cardiac hypertrophy and systolic dysfunction. The failing heart phenotypes observed in Tg-PPARalpha are exacerbated by crossing with cardiac-specific Sirt1 transgenic (Tg-Sirt1) mice, whereas Tg-Sirt1 mice themselves do not show any cardiac hypertrophy or systolic dysfunction. To investigate the mechanism leading to the failing heart phenotypes in TgPPARalpha/Tg-Sirt1 bigenic mice, microarray analyses were performed. The microarray analyses revealed that many ERR target genes were downregulated in Tg-PPARalpha and in Tg-Sirt1, and they were further downregulated in the Tg-PPARalpha/Tg-Sirt1 bigenic mice.

Description
TIR-type nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat domain proteins (TNLs) constitute one major group of immune receptors in dicotyledonous plants. Under normal conditions, TNLs can detect non-self or modified-self within the plant cytoplasm to activate immune signaling characterized by extensive transcriptional reprogramming and efficiently counteracting pathogen infection. At the same time, TNLs, in negative epistatic interaction with a second endogeneous locus or allele are causal for induction of autoimmunity or hybrid necrosis. Both native, pathogen-induced TNL responses and autoimmunity are fully dependent on the plant-specific lipase-like protein EDS1, which is a central integrator for all TNL-mediated responses. EDS1 signals within structurally similar, but spatially distinct complexes with PAD4 and SAG101. We here analyzed stable transgenic lines expressing an EDS1 fusion with enforced nuclear localization. Even in absence of SAG101, nuclear-localized EDS1-PAD4 complexes are fully sufficient to function in basal and effector-triggered immunity. Furthermore, we show that nuclear EDS1, when expressed to high levels, can induce autoimmuity in combination with an RPP1-like gene cluster from ecotype Ler. RPP1-like genes are also implicated in several cases of hybrid necrosis, and we can identify the RPP1 paralog R8 as causal for autoimmunity induction by nuclear EDS1 and a previously characterized, EMS-induced mutation. This highlights the important role of EDS1-family proteins in the nuclear compartment in different immune-like responses.

Description
Background: Our recent studies strongly suggest that remodeling in the control of gene expression contributes to the progression of cell phenotypes associated to the transient and permanent knock-down of T-cell intracellular antigen 1(TIA1) and TIA1 related/like (TIAR/TIAL1) proteins. In particular, our studies have been focused on transcriptomic profiling of TIA-depleted HeLa cells using transient RNA interference (siRNA-mediated) and genome-wide microarray approaches Results: This study provides, for the first time, TIA1 and TIAR linked-transcriptomic analysis by using RNA-Seq next generation sequencing technology. Illumina RNA-Seq was used to survey transcriptome profiles from permanent TIA1 and TIAR-(shRNA-mediated) deficient HeLa cells. Analysis of the transcriptomes with the Cufflinks tool revealed that differentially expressed genes, isoforms produced by alternative splicing and/or promoter usage as well as microRNAs generated a great transcriptomic heterogeneity which might reflect the complexity linked to these cell phenoypes. The data of differential expression were validated by using genome-wide microarrays and QPCR. Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes term enrichment analysis revealed over-representation of genes associated with cell differentiation, multicellular organismal development, signal transduction, axon guidance and cell adhesion and under-representation of genes associated with positive regulation of migration, cell adhesion, response to organic substance, prostaglandin metabolic process and blood coagulation. Conclusions: Taken together, our observations point out towards an inhibitory role of TIA proteins in cell proliferation and growth, there appears to be an apparent molecular discrepancy regarding the effects of TIA proteins based on whether the proteins are depleted transiently (siRNA-mediated) or permanently (shRNA-mediated), suggesting the existence of clonal selection mechanisms of cellular populations in permanently TIA1/TIAR-depleted HeLa cells.

This study provides, for the first time, TIA1 and TIAR linked-transcriptomic analysis by using RNA-Seq next-generation sequencing technology.

Analysis of the transcriptomes with the Cufflinks tool revealed that differentially expressed genes, isoforms produced by alternative splicing and/or promoter usage as well as microRNAs generated a great transcriptomic heterogeneity which might reflect the complexity linked to these cell phenotypes. The data of differential expression were validated by using genome-wide microarrays and QPCR analysis.

Taken together, these results indicate that differential gene expression, alternative pre-mRNA isoforms, promoter usage and microRNA profiling contribute to define the molecular expression phenotypes implied in the progression of proliferative phenotypes associated to the absence of TIA proteins and prioritize candidates for future study. Overall design: Each library was run on one RNASeq Multiplex of 76 bp using sequencing from Illumina Genome Analyzer (GAIIx). Three samples were analyzed in this manner, taken from control, TIA1 and TIAR shRNA-depleted HeLa cells.

Pirin (PIR) is a putative transcriptional regulator whose expression is silenced in cells bearing the AML1/ETO and PML/RAR leukemogenic fusion proteins and is significantly repressed in a large proportion of acute myeloid leukemias. PIR expression increases during in vitro myeloid differentiation of primary hematopoietic precursor cells, and ablation of PIR in the U937 myelomonocytic cell line or in murine primary hematopoietic precursor cells results in impairment of terminal myeloid differentiation.

Description
Transcriptional dysregulation in Huntingtons disease (HD) is an early event that affects the expression of genes involved in survival and neuronal functions throughout the progression of the pathology. In the last years, extensive research has focused on epigenetic and chromatin-modifying factors as a causative explanation for such dysregulation, offering attractive targets for pharmacological therapies. In this work we examined the gene expression profiles in cortex, striatum, hippocampus and cerebellum of juvenile R6/1 and N171-82Q mice, two models of fast progressive HD, to retrieve the early transcriptional signatures associated with this pathology.These profiles showed significant coincidences with the transcriptional changes in the conditional knockout for the lysine acetyltransferase CBP in postmitotic forebrain neurons.
