Transcription profiling of mouse FVB/N wild type and transgenic Tg.AC mice to examine skin papilloma development

ABSTRACT: This study analyzes gene expression associated with papilloma development in Tg.AC v-Ha-ras transgenic mice and identifies novel genes and biological processes that may be critical to skin carcinogenesis in these mice. Epidermal abrasion was used to synchronously induce epidermal regeneration in FVB/N wild type and transgenic Tg.AC mice. Skin papillomagenesis was uniquely induced in Tg.AC mice, and gene expression profiling was carried out using a 22,000 element mouse DNA microarray. Histological analysis showed that papillomas developed at a high rate by day 30 after abrasion in transgenic animals, while no papilloma developed in wild type mice. Transgene specific differentially expressed genes were identified at day 30 post-abrasion and these genes were annotated using EASE software and literature mining. Annotated and non-annotated genes associated with papilloma development were identified and clustering analysis revealed groups of genes that are coordinately expressed. A number of genes associated with differentiation and development were also physically clustered on mouse chromosome 16, including 16B3 that contains several Stefins and stefin-like genes, and 16A1 containing a number of keratin associated protein genes. Additional analyses presented here yield novel insights into the genes and processes involved in papilloma development in Tg.AC mice. Experiment Overall Design: Strains: Tg.AC vs FVB/N; Treatment: epidermal abrasion vs sham treatment, samples collected 3, 5, 9, 18, and 30 days post treatment; Microarray: 2-channel, pooled total RNA from 5 animals, 2 technical replicate arrays with dye-swaps.

Project description:B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL) shows an incredibly high heterogeneity in the clinical course, spanning from rapidly aggressive to completely indolent behaviour. In order to identify the correspondent gene expression variability, we investigated 29 cases of untreated B-CLL using microarray. Firstly, two robust CLL clusters were identified applying multiple unsupervised clustering algorithms. Their separation was mainly determined by the differential expression of several genes included into two gene groups designated OxPhos and Lyn clusters. OxPhos gene cluster, previously identified in a subset of diffuse large B-cell lymphomas, comprises genes coding for some respiratory chain enzymes, ribosomal proteins and translation factors. Moreover, increased levels of genes involved in the regulation of apoptosis and in the proteasome-ubiquitin complex and the down-regulation of LYN gene, member of B-cell receptor pathway, characterized the OxPhos CLL subset. These B-CLL biological clusters did not reveal any preferential distribution of Ig mutated or Ig unmutated CLL prognostic groups. Furthermore, we applied another unsupervised algorithm (Subtractive Unsupervised Analysis) after the exclusion of genes characterizing the previously identified CLL subsets. At this point, we could identify two new CLL clusters, showing a clear association to the Ig mutational status. In addition to the ZAP-70 and LPL genes, the patients with unmutated Ig expressed higher level of some interesting genes involved in B cell activation, cell cycle regulation, apoptosis resistance and angiogenesis. In conclusion, we showed that B-CLL is characterized by an intrinsic heterogeneity in gene expression pattern, which overcomes the influence of the immunoglobulin mutational status on B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia profiles.

Total RNA from mononuclear cells was isolated using RNeasy Mini Kit (QIAGEN, Valencia, CA, USA) according to the manufacturerâ??s instructions For all 29 specimens, fluorescently-labelled cRNA was generated by in vitro transcription using Low RNA Input Fluorescent Linear Amplification Kit (Agilent Technologies, Palo alto, CA, USA) according to the manufacturerâ??s instructions. Amplified cRNA of each patient was labelled with cyanine 5-CTP (Perkin-Elmer, NEN Life Science, Boston, MA, USA) in each experiment. Mix of equal amount of total RNAs from our cohort was used as reference control in all microarray gene-profiling experiments. Amplified reference cRNA was labelled with cyanine 3-CTP (Perkin-Elmer, NEN Life Science, Boston, MA, USA) in each experiment. Moreover, cRNA products were purified using RNeasy columns (Qiagen). 1 ï?g of Cy5-labelled cRNA was mixed with the same amount of Cy3-labelled reference cRNA and then mixed cRNAs were fragmented to an average size of ï?¾50-100 nt by incubation at 60Â°C for 30 min using in situ Hybridization kit-plus (Agilent). Samples were hybridized on Agilent Human 1A Oligo Microarray, ink-jet printed microarray, comprising 20,173 (60-mer) experimentally validated oligonucleotide probes (features).33 After hybridization for 17 h at 60Â°C, slides were washed according to Agilent SSC protocol instructions and then scanned using a confocal laser scanner (Agilent Technologies). Experiment Overall Design: Fluorescence data were analysed with Feature Extraction Software v.7.5 (Agilent Technologies). Log10 ratio of the dye-normalized Cy3 and Cy5 channel signals were calculated, then a p-value and a final error were obtained to establish the significance of each feature.

Project description:Both ovarian and pituitary hormones are required for the pubertal development of the mouse mammary gland. Estradiol directs ductal elongation and branching within the adipose stroma of the adolescent mouse mammary gland, while progesterone leads to tertiary branching and alveolar development. The purpose of this investigation was to identify the estrogen-responsive genes that are associated with estrogen-stimulated ductal elongation and branching in the mouse mammary gland in the absence of other ovarian hormones. We also wanted to determine if estrogen-responsive gene regulation at early stages of ductal elongation (ie. when ductal growth was minimal) was similar to those regulated after significant ductal elongation had occurred. To identify estrogen-regulated genes, ovariectomized prepubertal mice were exposed to 17beta-estradiol for four weeks, and mammary gland global gene expression analyzed by microarray analysis at various points during this time course. We determined that while many genes are regulated in all weeks of treatment, there remained a subset of genes that was uniquely regulated at each time-point. This observation was reflected in the biological functions of these genes; some categories were represented in all weeks of treatment while others were specific to only certain time-points. We have also identified estradiol-responsive genes in the mouse mammary gland that co-express with Estrogen Receptor alpha in human breast cancer, which may represent novel effectors of estrogen action and/or biomarkers for the progression of estrogen-dependent cancers and other estrogen-driven diseases. Experiment Overall Design: For each time-course experiment, one frozen #4 mammary gland was individually pulverized from four to five animals per treatment group, then homogenized in 3mL Trizol (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA) and RNA was prepared according to the manufacturerâ??s protocol. The RNA from individual animals was then pooled for each treatment group (four to five animals per group) and further purified using the QIAGEN (Valencia, CA) RNeasy Mini kit (Cat. No. 74104) clean-up protocol. Experiment Overall Design: Gene expression analysis was conducted using Agilent Mouse Oligo arrays (pattern number 011978) (Agilent Technologies, Palo Alto, CA). Total RNA was amplified using the Agilent Low RNA Input Fluorescent Linear Amplification Kit protocol. Starting with 500ng of total RNA, Cy3 or Cy5 labeled cRNA was produced according to manufacturerâ??s protocol. For each two color comparison, 750ng of each Cy3 and Cy5 labeled cRNAs were mixed and fragmented using the Agilent In Situ Hybridization Kit protocol. In each case, samples from estradiol-treated animals were co-hybridized with the day 7 placebo sample. Due to the rapid increase in adiposity in the mammary fat pad in the ovariectomized placebo-treated mice in days 14 and 28, the day 7 placebo sample was used as a control for all estradiol treated samples to avoid any variation due to this biological difference. Hybridizations were performed for 17 hours in a rotating hybridization oven using the Agilent 60-mer oligo microarray processing protocol. Slides were washed as indicated in this protocol and then scanned with an Agilent Scanner. Data was obtained using the Agilent Feature Extraction software (v7.5), using defaults for all parameters. Experiment Overall Design: The Agilent Feature Extraction Software performed error modeling, adjusting for additive and multiplicative noise. The resulting data were processed using the Rosetta ResolverÂ® system (version 7.1) (Rosetta Biosoftware, Kirkland, WA).
