Description
Despite advances in investigating functional aspects of osteoblast (OB) differentiation, especially studies on how bone proteins are deposited and mineralized, there has been little research on the intracellular trafficking of bone proteins during OB differentiation. Collagen synthesis and secretion is markedly upregulated upon Ascorbic Acid (AA) stimulation. Understanding the mechanism by which collagen is mobilized in specialized OB cells is important for both basic cell biology and diseases involving defects in bone secretion and deposition. RabGTPases are major regulators on protein trafficking throughout the cell. In this study, we identified the Rab GTPases that are upregulated during 5-day AA differentiation of OBs using microarray analysis, namely Rab1, Rab3d and Rab27b.

Description
Extracts from the rhizome of Cimicifuga racemosa (black cohosh) are increasingly popular as herbal alternative to hormone replacement therapy (HRT) for the alleviation of postmenopausal disorders. However, the molecular mode of action and the active principles are presently not clear. Previously published data have been largely contradictory. We, therefore, investigated the effects of a lipophilic Cimicifuga rhizome extract on the ER+ breast cancer MCF-7 cells at transcriptional level in comparision to 17beta-estradiol and the ER antagonist tamoxifen. With the extract 431 genes were regulated more than 1.5 fold. The overall expression pattern differed from those of 17-estradiol or the estrogen receptor antagonist tamoxifen. We observed an enrichment of genes in an anti-proliferative and apoptosis-sensitizing manner, together with an increase of mRNAs coding for gene products involved in several stress response pathways. Regulated genes of these functional groups were highly overrepresented among all regulated genes. Various transcripts coding for oxidoreductases were induced, as for example the cytochrome P450 family members 1A1 and 1B1. In addition, some transcripts associated with antitumor but also tumor-promoting activity were regulated.

Description
We have employed gene expression profiling in order to identify targets of transcriptional response to stress in resting mouse Swiss 3T3 fibroblasts, either untreated (control) or treated with anisomycin for 3 or 6 hours to induce the p38/MAP kinase pathway. In order determine transcriptional effects dependent on MSK1/2 kinase activity, H89 inhibitor was used in the study. Overall design: Serum starved (72 h 0.2% FCS) mouse 3T3 cells were treated with anisomycin (188.5 nM) for 3 h or 6h (in duplicates) either with or without 15-min pre-treatment with MSK1/2 inhibitor H89 (10 uM). Untreated, serum-starved cells were used as a control. RNA was collected and gene expression profiling using strand-specific RNA-seq was performed.

Description
Products derived from roots of Leuzea carthamoides DC. (maral root) are being promoted as anti-aging and adaptogenic. The phytoecdysteroids are considered as active principles with numerous beneficial effects, but little is known about the pharmacological properties of Leuzea extracts. We, therefore, investigated the effects of a lipophilic Leuzea root extract on ER+ breast cancer MCF-7 cells at transcriptional level in comparison to 17beta-estradiol and the ER antagonist tamoxifen. With the extract 241 genes were regulated more than 1.5 fold. We observed gene regulation in an anti-proliferative and pro-apoptotic manner.

Description
A randomized, open-label, multicenter, phase II trial (NCT00455533) enrolled previously untreated women with histologically-confirmed primary invasive breast adenocarcinoma (T23, N03, M0, tumor size 2.0 cm), regardless of hormone receptor or HER2 expression status. Patients received sequential neoadjuvant therapy starting with 4 cycles of AC (doxorubicin 60 mg/m2 intravenously and cyclophosphamide 600 mg/m2 intravenously) given every 3 weeks, followed by 1:1 randomization to either ixabepilone (40 mg/m2 3-hour infusion) every 3 weeks for 4 cycles, or paclitaxel (80 mg/m2 1-hour infusion) weekly for 12 weeks.

Description
Due to heterogeneous multifocal nature of prostate cancer (PCa), there is currently a lack of biomarkers that stably distinguish it from benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), predict clinical outcome and guide the choice of optimal treatment. In this study, RNA-seq analysis was applied to formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tumor and matched normal tissue samples collected from Russian patients with PCa and BPH. We identified 3384 genes differentially expressed (DE) (FDR < 0.05) between tumor tissue of PCa patients and adjacent normal tissue as well as both tissue types from BPH patients. Overexpression of four of the genes previously not associated with PCa (ANKRD34B, NEK5, KCNG3, and PTPRT) was validated by RT-qPCR. Furthermore, the enrichment analysis of overrepresented microRNA and transcription factor (TF) recognition sites within DE genes revealed common regulatory elements of which 13 microRNAs and 53 TFs were thus linked to PCa for the first time. Moreover, 8 of these TFs (FOXJ2, GATA6, NFE2L1, NFIL3, PRRX2, TEF, EBF2 and ZBTB18) were found to be differentially expressed in this study, making them not only candidate biomarkers of prostate cancer but also potential therapeutic targets. Overall design: Whole transcriptome profiling of tumor tissue and matched adjacent normal tissue from 15 patients with PCa and 2 with BPH.
