Affymetrix Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 Array (hgu133plus2)
Description
Activation of the Ras/Erk pathway upregulates expression of the Kruppel-like Factor 5 (KLF5) transcription factor, and KLF5 is a downstream mediator of Ras oncogenic signaling. Specifically, in bladder and colon cancer cell lines KLF5 upregulates the Ras-pathway target gene cyclin D1, and facilitates entry into the S phase of the cell cycle. Ras mutations are common in lung cancer, but a role for KLF5 in lung tumorigenesis has not been defined. To this end, we manipulated KLF5 expression in four Ras-mutant human lung adenocarcinoma cell lines to find that KLF5 significantly modulates anchorage-independent growth, a mutant Ras phenotype. However, in a mouse model of human lung adenocarcinoma, K-RasG12D does not critically require Klf5 to mediate oncogenesis or induce cyclin D1 expression.
Publication Title
Kruppel-like factor 5 is not required for K-RasG12D lung tumorigenesis, but represses ABCG2 expression and is associated with better disease-specific survival.

- Affymetrix Mouse Expression 430A Array (moe430a)
Description
The objectives of this investigation were to examine changes in the host transcriptional profiles during a polymicrobial periodontal pathogens Porphyromonas gingivalis, Treponema denticola, and Tannerella forsythia infection using a murine calvarial model of inflammation and bone resorption. P. gingivalis FDC 381, T. denticola ATCC 35404, and T. forsythia ATCC 43037 was injected into the subcutaneous soft tissue over the calvaria of BALB/c mice for 3 days, after which the soft tissues and calvarial bones were excised. RNA was isolated from infected soft tissues and calvarial bones and analyzed for transcript profiles using Murine GeneChip MG-MOE430A Affymetrix arrays to provide a molecular profile of the events that occur following infection of these tissues.

Description
P. falciparum NF54 proliferates under micro-aerophilic conditions in an environment of 3% O2, 4% CO2, 93% N2. This strain was gradually adapted to proliferate under standard tissue culture conditions of 5% CO2/95% air (~19% O2) to generate P. falciparum HOX. We compared global gene expression profiles of the two strains to identify differences, if any.

- Affymetrix Human Exon 1.0 ST Array [probe set (exon) version (huex10st)
Description
The analysis of capped RNAs by massively parallel sequencing has identified a large number of previously unknown transcripts, some of which are small RNAs and others are 5 truncated forms of RefSeq genes. The latter may be generated by endonuclease cleavage or by stalling of Xrn1 at defined sites. With the exception of promoter-proximal transcripts the caps on all of these are added post-transcriptionally by a cytoplasmic capping enzyme complex that includes capping enzyme and a kinase that converts 5-monophosphate ends to a diphosphate capping substrate. We previously described a modified form of capping enzyme with dominant negative activity against cytoplasmic capping (DN-cCE). A tet-inducible form of this was used to identify substrates for cytoplasmic capping by treating cytoplasmic RNA from control and induced cells with and without Xrn1. Surviving RNA was analyzed on Affymetrix Human Exon 1.0 arrays and scored for changes in probe intensity as a function of its position on each RefSeq gene to derive a factor (alpha) that could be compared between sets. Notably, transcriptome-wide changes were not evident unless RNA was treated with Xrn1. This analysis identified 2,666 uncapped mRNAs in uninduced cells, 672 mRNAs that appeared in the uncapped pool in cells expressing DN-cCE, and 835 mRNAs that were in both populations. Changes in cap status of 10 re-capping targets and 5 controls were assessed by 3 independent measures; susceptibility to Xrn1, recovery with a biotin-tagged DNA primer after ligating a complementary RNA oligonucleotide to uncapped 5 ends, and binding or exclusion from a high affinity cap-binding matrix comprised of immobilized eIF4E and the corresponding binding domain of eIF4G.

Description
Piriformospora indica, an endophytic fungus of Sebacinales, colonizes the roots of many plant species including Arabidopsis thaliana. The symbiotic interaction promotes plant per-formance, growth and resistance/tolerance against abiotic and biotic stress. We demonstrate that exudated compounds from the fungus activate stress and defense responses in the Arabidopsis roots and shoots before the two partners are in physical contact. They induce stomata closure, stimulate reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, stress-related phytohormone accumulation and activate defense and stress genes in the roots and/or shoots. Once a physical contact is established, the stomata re-open, ROS and phytohormone levels decline, and the gene expression pattern indicates a shift from defense to mutualistic interaction.
Publication Title
The interaction of Arabidopsis with Piriformospora indica shifts from initial transient stress induced by fungus-released chemical mediators to a mutualistic interaction after physical contact of the two symbionts.

Description
In a fluorescence polarization screen for MYC-MAX interaction, we have identified a novel small molecule inhibitor of MYC, KJ-Pyr-9, from a Kröhnke pyridine library. The Kd of KJ-Pyr-9 for MYC in vitro is 6.5 ± 1.0 nM as determined by backscattering interferometry; KJ-Pyr-9 also interferes with MYC-MAX complex formation in the cell as shown in a protein fragment complementation assay. KJ-Pyr-9 specifically inhibits MYC-induced oncogenic transformation in cell culture; it has no or only weak effects on the oncogenic activity of several unrelated oncoproteins. KJ-Pyr-9 preferentially interferes with the proliferation of MYC-overexpressing human and avian cells and specifically reduces the MYC-driven transcriptional signature. In vivo, KJ-Pyr-9 effectively blocks the growth of a xenotransplant of MYC-overexpressing human cancer cells. Overall design: 4 treatment groups analyzed in triplicate: no treatment(control), 20uM KJ-Pyr-9, 0.1ug/mL doxycycline and KJ-Pyr-9 in combination with doxycycline
