Affymetrix Arabidopsis ATH1 Genome Array (ath1121501)
Description
Despite their importance, plant MAP kinase targets are still poorly elucidated. Here, the specific in vivo interaction of an ethylene response factor (ERF104) with the Arabidopsis MAP kinase, MPK6, is shown by fluorescence resonance energy transfer. The interaction, which is lost within minutes after treatment with the flagellin-derived flg22 peptide, is dependent on both MPK6 kinase activity and rapid ethylene signaling initiated downstream of MPK6 activation. ERF104 is an MPK6 substrate and phosphorylation site mutations affected its stability. ERF104 activates promoters with GCC elements. This was evident from microarray data of overexpressing transgenic plants, where promoters of up regulated genes contain GCC motifs and chromatin immunoprecipitation showing ERF104 association with PDF1.2 promoter. The ERF104 overexpressor did not affect biotrophic bacteria proliferation but was more susceptible to necrotrophic Botrytis cinerea. Microarray performed with erf104 or mpk6 revealed only a limited number of flg22-induced genes that require these elements - possibly as a

- Affymetrix Human Gene 1.0 ST Array (hugene10st)
Description
Background: The Epithelial Cell Adhesion Molecule (EpCAM) has been shown to be strongly expressed in human breast cancer and cancer stem cells and its overexpression has been supposed to support tumor progression and metastasis. However, effects of EpCAM overexpression on normal breast epithelial cells have never been studied before. Therefore, we analyzed effects of transient adenoviral overexpression of EpCAM on proliferation, migration and differentiation of primary human mammary epithelial cells (HMECs).
Publication Title
EpCAM overexpression prolongs proliferative capacity of primary human breast epithelial cells and supports hyperplastic growth.

- Arabidopsis Gene 1.1 ST Array (aragene11st)
Description
Brassinosteroids (BRs) are growth-promoting plant hormones that play a role in abiotic stress responses, but molecular modes that enable this activity remain largely unknown. Here we show that BRs participate in the regulation of freezing tolerance. BR signaling-defective mutants of Arabidopsis thaliana were hypersensitive to freezing before and after cold acclimation. The constitutive activation of BR signaling, in contrast, enhanced freezing resistance. Evidence is provided that the BR-controlled basic helixloophelix transcription factor CESTA (CES) can contribute to the constitutive expression of the C-REPEAT/DEHYDRATION-RESPONSIVE ELEMENT BINDING FACTOR (CBF) transcriptional regulators that control cold responsive (COR) gene expression. In addition, CBF-independent classes of BR-regulated COR genes are identified that are regulated in a BR- and CES-dependent manner during cold acclimation. A model is presented in which BRs govern different cold-responsive transcriptional cascades through the posttranslational modification of CES and redundantly acting factors. This contributes to the basal resistance against freezing stress, but also to the further improvement of this resistance through cold acclimation.

Description
The maturation of dendritic cells (DCs) after exposure to microbial products or inflammatory mediators plays a critical role in initiating the immune response. We found that maturation can also occur under steady state conditions, triggered by alterations in E-cadherin-mediated DC-DC adhesion. Selective disruption of these interactions induced the typical features of DC maturation including the upregulation of costimulatory molecules, MHC class II, and chemokine receptors. These events were triggered at least in part by activation of the b-catenin pathway. However, unlike maturation induced by microbial products, E-cadherin-stimulated DCs failed to release immunostimulatory cytokines, exhibiting an entirely different transcriptional profile. As a result, E-cadherin-stimulated DCs elicited an entirely different T cell response in vivo, generating T cells with a regulatory as opposed to an effector phenotype. These DCs induced tolerance in vivo and may thus contribute to the elusive steady state tolerogenic DCs.

Disruption of E-cadherin-mediated adhesion induces a functionally distinct pathway of dendritic cell maturation.

Description
Transcription factor-mediated reprogramming yields induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) by erasing tissue specific methylation and re-setting DNA methylation status to an embryonic stage. We compared bona fide human iPSC derived from umbilical cord blood (CB) and neonatal keratinocytes (K). Through both incomplete erasure of tissue specific methylation and de novo tissue specific methylation, CB-iPSC and K-iPSC are distinct in genome-wide DNA methylation profiles. Functionally, CB-iPSC displayed better blood formation in vitro, whereas K-iPSC differentiated better to a keratinocyte fate, implying that the tissue of origin needs to be considered in future therapeutic applications of human iPSCs.

Description
Through a loss-of-function approach, we identified that inhibition of the histone methyltransferase, Dot1L, accelerated somatic cell reprogramming, significantly increased the yield of induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cell colonies, and substituted for Klf4 and c-Myc in the reprogramming cocktail. To understand the mechanism by which Dot1L inhibition results in these phenotypes, we carried out gene expression profiling using Affymetrix microarrays.
