- Affymetrix Human Gene 2.0 ST Array (hugene20st)
Description
The analysis of microarray time series promises a deeper insight into the dynamics of the cellular response following stimulation. A common observation in this type of data is that some genes respond with quick, transient dynamics, while other genes change their expression slowly over time. The existing methods for the detection of significant expression dynamics often fail when the expression dynamics show a large heterogeneity, and often cannot cope with irregular and sparse measurements.

- Affymetrix Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 Array (hgu133plus2)
Description
The recruitment of mesenchymal stem cells in order to reconstruct damaged cartilage of osteoarthritis joints is a challenging tissue engineering task. Vision towards this goal is blurred by a lack of knowledge about the underlying differences between chondrocytes and MSC during the chondrogenic cultivation process. The aim of this study was to shed light on the differences between chondrocytes and MSC occurring during chondral differentiation through tissue engineering.

Description
Both pro- and anti-mitogenic activities have been ascribed to progesterone receptor (PR) agonists and antagonists in breast cancer cells, however, the transcriptional responses that underlie these paradoxical functions are not apparent. Using non-transformed, normal human mammary epithelial cells (hMECs) engineered to express PR, and standard microarray technology, we defined 2,370 genes that were significantly regulated by the PR agonist R5020. Gene Ontology (GO) analysis revealed that GO-terms involved in inflammation and NF-B signaling were among the most significantly regulated. Interestingly, on those NF-B responsive genes that were inhibited by agonist-activated PR, antagonists either (a) mimicked the actions of agonists or (b) reversed the inhibitory actions of agonists. This difference in pharmacological response could be attributed to the fact that although agonist and antagonist-activated PR is recruited to the promoters of NF-B responsive promoters, the physical presence of PR tethered to the promoter of some genes is sufficient for transcriptional inhibition whereas on others an agonist-activated PR conformation is required for inhibition of NF-B signaling. Importantly, the actions of PR on the latter class of genes were reversed by an AF-2 inhibiting, LXXLL-containing peptide. Consideration of the relative activities of these distinct anti-inflammatory pathways in breast cancer may be instructive with respect to the likely therapeutic activity of PR agonists or antagonists in the treatment of breast cancer.

Description
Most lung adenocarcinoma deaths are related to metastases, indicating the necessity of detecting and inhibiting tumor cell dissemination. We have identified that overexpression of miRNAs located on 14q32 was associated with metastasis in lung adenocarcinoma patients. For functional analysis, we utilized CRISPR activation technology to increase levels of miRNAs clustered on 14q32 in a coordinated manner, and the results showed that 14q32 miRNA overexpression promoted tumor cell migratory and invasive properties. Whole transcriptome microarray analysis of the miRNA-overexpressing cells was performed to define the underlying molecular mechanisms.

Description
BACKGROUND: Climate change will lead in the future to an occurrence of heat waves with a higher frequency and duration than observed today, which has the potential to cause severe damage to seedlings of temperate maize genotypes. In this study, we aimed to (I) assess phenotypic variation for heat tolerance of temperate European Flint and Dent maize inbred lines, (II) investigate the transcriptomic response of temperate maize to linearly increasing heat levels and, (III) identify genes associated with heat tolerance in a set of genotypes with contrasting heat tolerance behaviour. RESULTS: Strong phenotypic differences with respect to heat tolerance were observed between the examined maize inbred lines on a multi-trait level. We identified 607 heat responsive genes as well as 39 heat tolerance genes. CONCLUSION: Our findings indicate that individual inbred lines developed different genetic mechanisms in response to heat stress. We applied a novel statistical approach enabling the integration of multiple genotypes and stress levels in the analysis of abiotic stress expression studies. Overall design: Identifcation of differentially expressed genes between 8 genotypes and 3 heat levels

Description
Natural killer (NK) cells induce apoptosis in infected and transformed cells and produce immunoregulatory cytokines. At this, NK cells operate in inflammatory and tumor environments low in oxygen (hypoxic) and with immunosuppressive properties. In vitro studies of NK cells are, however, commonly performed in ambient air (normoxia).

Description
Polycystic Kidney Disease is characterized by the formation of large fluid-filled cysts that eventually destroy the renal parenchyma leading to end-stage renal failure. Although remarkable progress has been made in understanding the pathologic mechanism of the disease, the precise orchestration of the early events leading to cyst formation is still unclear. Abnormal cellular proliferation was traditionally considered to be one of the primary irregularities leading to cyst initiation and growth. Consequently, many therapeutic interventions have focused on targeting this abnormal proliferation, and some have even progressed to clinical trials. However, the role of proliferation in cyst development was primarily examined at stages where cysts are already visible in the kidneys and therefore at later stages of disease development. In this study we focused on the cystic phenotype since birth in an attempt to clarify the temporal contribution of cellular proliferation in cyst development. Using a PKD2 transgenic rat model (PKD2 (1-703)) of different ages (0-60 days after birth) we performed gene expression profiling and phenotype analysis by measuring various kidney parameters. Phenotype analysis demonstrated that renal cysts appear immediately after birth in the PKD2 transgenic rat model (PKD2 (1-703)). On the other hand, abnormal proliferation occurs at later stages of the disease as identified by gene expression profiling. Interestingly, other pathways appear to be deregulated at early stages of the disease in this PKD model. Our data suggest that cystogenesis precedes deregulation of proliferation-related pathways, suggesting that proliferation abnormalities may contribute in cyst growth rather than cyst formation.

Description
The cell differentiation potential of 13-cis retinoic acid (RA) has not succeeded in the clinical treatment of glioblastoma (GBM) so far. However, RA may also induce the expression of disistance genes such as HOXB7 which can be suppressed by Thalidomide (THAL). Therefore, we tested if combined treatment with RA+THAL may inhibit growth of glioblastoma in vivo. Treatment with RA+THAL but not RA or THAL alone significantly inhibited tumour growth. The synergistic effect of RA and THAL was corroborated by the effect on proliferation of glioblastoma cell lines in vitro. HOXB7 was not upregulated but microarray analysis validated by real-time PCR identified four potential resistance genes (IL-8, HILDPA, IGFBPA, and ANGPTL4) whose upregulation by RA was suppressed by THAL. Furthermore, genes coding for small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNA) were identified as a target for RA for the first time, and their upregulation was maintained after combined treatment. Pathway analysis showed upregulation of the Ribosome pathway and downregulation of pathways associated with proliferation and inflammation. Combined treatment with RA + THAL delayed growth of GBM xenografts and suppressed putative resistance genes associated with hypoxia and angiogenesis. This encourages further pre-clinical and clinical studies of this drug combination in GBM.
