Affymetrix Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 Array (hgu133plus2)
Description
In human volunteers, we evaluated changes in gene expression profiles, immunological indices, and intestinal microbiota of blood cells in subjects consuming a S.reticulata extract. Thirty healthy Japanese males were split randomly into a group ingesting 240 mg/day of S.reticulata extract -containing tablets for 4 weeks and a control group ingesting placebo tablets. Ingestion of the S.reticulata extract improved T cell proliferation and other immunological indices, and changed intestinal microbiota, increasing Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillales and decreasing Clostridium bacteria. Expression levels of many immuno-relevant genes were altered. We have shown the S.reticulata extract to enhance human immune functions.

- Affymetrix Human Genome U95 Version 2 Array (hgu95av2)
Description
We performed the oligonucleotide microarray analysis in bipolar disorder, major depression, schizophrenia, and control subjects using postmortem prefrontal cortices provided by the Stanley Foundation Brain Collection. By comparing the gene expression profiles of similar but distinctive mental disorders, we explored the uniqueness of bipolar disorder and its similarity to other mental disorders at the molecular level. Notably, most of the altered gene expressions in each disease were not shared by one another, suggesting the molecular distinctiveness of these mental disorders. We found a tendency of downregulation of the genes encoding receptor, channels or transporters, and upregulation of the genes encoding stress response proteins or molecular chaperons in bipolar disorder. Altered expressions in bipolar disorder shared by other mental disorders mainly consisted of upregulation of the genes encoding proteins for transcription or translation. The genes identified in this study would be useful for the understanding of the pathophysiology of bipolar disorder, as well as the common pathophysiological background in major mental disorders at the molecular level.

Description
Analysis of calli derived from the wild type (Ler), the ckh1 and ckh2 mutants cultured on media in the absence of cytokinin (control), in the presence of low (25 ng/ml kinetin) or high (200 ng/ml kinetin) levels of cytokinin, or in the presence of Trichostatin A (TSA). In these conditions, a constant 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) was included as an auxin.

Description
Kurozu is a traditional Japanese rice vinegar. During fermentation and aging of the Kurozu liquid in an earthenware jar over 1 year, solid residue called Kurozu Moromi is produced. In the present study, we evaluated whether concentrated Kurozu or Kurozu Moromi could ameliorate cognitive dysfunction in the senescence accelerated P8 mouse. Senescence accelerated P8 mice were fed 0.25% (w/w) concentrated Kurozu or 0.5% (w/w) Kurozu Moromi for 4 or 25 weeks. Kurozu suppressed cognitive dysfunction and amyloid accumulation in the brain, while Kurozu Moromi showed a tendency to ameliorate cognitive dysfunction, but the effect was not significant. We hypothesize that concentrated Kurozu has an antioxidant effect, however, the level of lipid peroxidation in the brain did not differ in senescence accelerated P8 mice. DNA microarray analysis indicated that concentrated Kurozu increased HSPA1A mRNA expression, a protein that prevents protein misfolding and aggregation. The increase in HSPA1A expression by Kurozu was confirmed using quantitative real-time PCR and immunoblotting methods. Therefore, the suppression of amyloid accumulation by concentrated Kurozu may be associated with HSPA1A induction. However, concentrated Kurozu could not increase HSPA1A expression in mouse primary neurons, suggesting it may not directly affect neurons.

Description
Development of LNA gapmers, antisense oligonucleotides used for efficient inhibition of target RNA expression, is limited by non-target mediated hepatotoxicity issues. In the present study, we investigated hepatic transcription profiles of mice receiving non-toxic and toxic LNA gapmers after a single and repeat administration.

Oral food intake maintains gastrointestinal cell turnover and impacts the morphology and function of intestinal epithelial cells. However, the underlying mechanism is not fully elucidated, especially in the large intestine. Therefore, we analyzed the colonic epithelial cell turnover in starved and re-fed mice.

Description
Transcriptome analysis of post-mortem brain tissue specimens from three brain regions (BRs), entorinal, temporal and frontal cortices, of 71 Japanese brain-donor subjects to identify genes relevant to the expansion of neurofibrillary tangles. In total, 213 brain tissue specimens (= 71 subjects 3 BRs) were involved in this study. The spreading of neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs), intraneuronal aggregates of highly phosphorylated microtubule-associated protein tau, across the human brain is correlated with the cognitive severity of Alzheimers disease (AD). To identify genes relevant to NFT expansion defined by the Braak stage, we conducted exon array analysis with an exploratory sample set consisting of 213 human post-mortem brain tissue specimens from the entorinal, temporal and frontal cortices of 71 brain-donor subjects: Braak NFT stages 0 (N = 13), III (N = 20), IIIIV (N = 19) and VVI (N = 19). We identified eight genes, RELN, PTGS2, MYO5C, TRIL, DCHS2, GRB14, NPAS4 and PHYHD1, associated with the Braak stage. The expression levels of three genes, PHYHD1, MYO5C and GRB14, exhibited reproducible association on real-time quantitative PCR analysis. In another sample set, including control subjects (N = 30) and patients with late-onset AD (N = 37), dementia with Lewy bodies (N = 17) and Parkinson disease (N = 36), the expression levels of two genes, PHYHD1 and MYO5C, were obviously associated with late-onset AD. Proteinprotein interaction network analysis with a public database revealed that PHYHD1 interacts with MYO5C via POT1, and PHYHD1 directly interacts with amyloid beta-peptide 42. It is thus likely that functional failure of PHYHD1 and MYO5C could lead to AD development.
