Affymetrix Mouse Gene 1.0 ST Array (mogene10st)
Description
Leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) is amongst the IL-6 family cytokines expressed in the lungs during pneumonia. However, the function of endogenous LIF during pneumonia has never been explored. The purpose of this study was to determine the transcriptional response to pneumonia in the lungs and whether or how this response is influenced by LIF.

Description
STAT2 is an essential transcription factor in type I interferon (IFN) signaling. STAT2 mediates the antigrowth and apoptotic effects of IFN as demonstrated in cell lines thus leading to the hypothesis that STAT2 has tumor suppressor function.

Illumina HiSeq 2500
Description
Large numbers of ribonucleotides are incorporated into the eukaryotic nuclear genome during S-phase due to imperfect discrimination against ribonucleoside triphosphates by the replicative DNA polymerases. Ribonucleotides, by far the most common DNA lesion in replicating cells, destabilize the DNA, and an evolutionarily conserved DNA repair machinery, ribonucleotide excision repair (RER), ensures ribonucleotide removal. Complete lack of RER is embryonically lethal. Partial loss-of-function mutations in the genes encoding subunits of RNase H2, the enzyme essential for initiation of RER, cause the SLE-related type I interferonopathy Aicardi-Goutières syndrome. Here we establish that selective inactivation of RER in mouse epidermis results in spontaneous DNA damage, epidermal hyperproliferation associated with loss of hair follicle stem cells and hair follicle function. The animals develop keratinocyte intraepithelial neoplasia and invasive squamous cell carcinoma with complete penetrance, despite potent type I interferon production and skin inflammation. Compromised RER-mediated genome maintenance might represent an important tumor-promoting principle in human cancer. Overall design: CD45+ CD49f- cells were were isolated from skin cell suspensions by FACS. Total RNA was isolated using the RNeasy Micro Kit+ (Qiagen). mRNA libraries were prepared using a SMART protocol and subjected to deep sequencing on an Illumina®HiSeq 2500.

Description
A common response to physiological duress is the hepatic acute phase response, a process during which the expression of many genes is altered in the liver. Amongst these transcripts are those encoding acute phase proteins, defined as circulating proteins with significantly changed concentrations during an acute phase response. The goal of this study was to determine the influence of two transcription factors, STAT3 and NF-kappaB p65 (RelA), on hepatic gene changes including but not limited to acute phase proteins during bacterial pneumonia.

Description
Cre-recombinase expression under control of an albumin promoter in the presence of floxed alleles is a highly effective and specific way to target gene mutations in hepatocytes. However, some concerns have been raised regarding off-target and/or toxic effects of cre itself, possibly confounding the interpretation of studies employing this approach. We have now used this tool to succesfully target gene deletions in hepatocytes during pneumonia, a condition which results in significant remodeling of the hepatic transcriptome. The goal of this study was to determine what effects, if any, cre expression alone has on hepatic gene expression during bacterial pneumonia.

Description
Emerging biomarkers based on medical images and molecular characterization of tumor biopsies open up for combining the two disciplines and exploiting their synergy in treatment planning. We compared pretreatment classification of cervical cancer patients by two previously validated imaging- and gene-based hypoxia biomarkers, evaluated the influence of intratumor heterogeneity, and investigated the benefit of combining them in prediction of treatment failure. The imaging-based biomarker was hypoxic fraction, determined from diagnostic dynamic contrast enhanced (DCE)-MR images. The gene-based biomarker was a hypoxia gene expression signature determined from tumor biopsies. Paired data were available for 118 patients. Intratumor heterogeneity was assessed by variance analysis of MR images and multiple biopsies from the same tumor. The two biomarkers were combined using a dimension-reduction procedure. The biomarkers classified 75% of the tumors with the same hypoxia status. Both intratumor heterogeneity and distribution pattern of hypoxia from imaging were unrelated to inconsistent classification by the two biomarkers, and the hypoxia status of the slice covering the biopsy region was representative of the whole tumor. Hypoxia by genes was independent on tumor cell fraction and showed minor heterogeneity across multiple biopsies in 9 tumors. This suggested that the two biomarkers could contain complementary biological information. Combination of the biomarkers into a composite score led to improved prediction of treatment failure (HR:7.3) compared to imaging (HR:3.8) and genes (HR:3.0) and prognostic impact in multivariate analysis with clinical variables. In conclusion, combining imaging- and gene-based biomarkers enables more precise and informative assessment of hypoxia-related treatment resistance in cervical cancer, independent of intratumor heterogeneity.
