Affymetrix Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 Array (hgu133plus2)
Description
There is growing evidence that transplantation of cadaveric human islets is an effective therapy for type 1 diabetes. However, gauging the suitability of islet samples for clinical use remains a challenge. We hypothesized that islet quality is reflected in the expression of specific genes. Therefore, gene expression in 59 human islet preparations was analyzed and correlated with diabetes reversal after transplantation in diabetic mice. Analysis yielded 262 differentially expressed probesets, which together predict islet quality with 83% accuracy. Pathway analysis revealed that failing islet preparations activated inflammatory pathways, while functional islets showed increased regeneration pathway gene expression. Gene expression associated with apoptosis and oxygen consumption showed little overlap with each other or with the 262 probeset classifier, indicating that the three tests are measuring different aspects of islet cell biology. A subset of 36 probesets surpassed the predictive accuracy of the entire set for reversal of diabetes, and was further reduced by logistic regression to sets of 14 and 5 without losing accuracy. These genes were further validated with an independent cohort of 16 samples. We believe this limited number of gene classifiers in combination with other tests may provide complementary verification of islet quality prior to their clinical use.

- Illumina HumanHT-12 V4.0 expression beadchip
Description
Thirty-eight tumors from 17 patients treated with BRAF inhibitor (n=12) or combination BRAF/MEK inhibitors (n=5) with known PD-L1 expression were analyzed. RNA expression arrays were performed on all pre-treatment (PRE, n=17), early during treatment (EDT, n=8) and progression (PROG, n=13) biopsies. HLA-A/HLA-DPB1 expression was assessed by immunohistochemistry (IHC). Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) of PRE, EDT and PROG melanomas revealed that transcriptome signatures indicative of immune cell activation were strongly positively correlated with PD-L1 staining. In contrast, MAPK signaling and canonical Wnt/--catenin activity were negatively associated with PD-L1 melanoma expression. The expression of PD-L1 and immune activation signatures did not simply reflect the degree or type of immune cell infiltration, and was not sufficient for tumor response to MAPK inhibition.

Affymetrix Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 Array (hgu133plus2)
Description
Normal human spermatogenesis concludes with the formation of large numbers of morphologically well developed spermatozoa. While transcriptionally quiescent these cells carry an RNA payload that reflects the final spermiogenic phase of transcription. We report here the spermatozoal transcript profiles characteristic of normally fertile individuals and infertile males suffering from a consistent and severe teratozoospermia in which under 4% of spermatozoa are morphologically normal. RNA was extracted from the purified sperm cells of ejaculate and hybridized to Affymetrix U133 (v2) Microarrays.

Description
We performed RNA-seq from 6 days post fertilization hnf4a-/- and hnf4a+/+ zebrafish larval digestive tracts raised in the absence (Germ Free, GF) or presence (Conventionalized, CV) of microbiota. We found that zebrafish hnf4a activates almost half of the microbiota-suppressed genes, indicating that the microbiota supress Hnf4a trans-activity. We also provide evidence suggesting that microbial suppression of Hnf4a may contribute to IBD pathogenesis. Overall design: Generation and analysis of RNA-seq from hnf4a-/- and hnf4a+/+ zebrafish larvae in the absence (Germ Free, GF) or presence (Conventionalized, CV) microbiota.

- Affymetrix Zebrafish Genome Array (zebrafish)
Description
Mycobacteria infect macrophages that aggregate with additional macrophages and lymphocytes to form granulomas. We have used a functional genomics approach to identify immune response genes expressed during granuloma formation in Mycobacterium marinum-infected transparent zebrafish larvae where individual infection steps can be viewed in real time. We assessed RNA expression profiles from zebrafish larvae that were either infected with Mycobacterium marinum, mock-infected, or uninfected. Zebrafish infections were performed at 1 day post-fertilization (dpf), and samples were derived from pools of 6dpf zebrafish larvae.
