A significant proportion of the genomes of higher plants and vertebrates consists of transposable elements and their derivatives. Autonomous DNA type transposons encode a transposase that enables them to mobilize to a new chromosomal position in the host genome by a cut-and-paste mechanism. As this is potentially mutagenic, the host limits transposition through epigenetic gene silencing and heterochromatin formation. Here we show that a transposase from Arabidopsis thaliana that we named DAYSLEE ...[more]

Project description:The experiment is aiming to analyze the effect of overexpression of the Arabidopsis At1g06160 AP2/ERF-domain transcription factor on gene expression and the involvement of the At1g06160-regulated genes in the jasmonic acid or jasmonic acid/ethylene signal transduction pathways. The experiment was performed with 12 hybridizations, using 24 samples of species [Arabidopsis thaliana], using 12 arrays of array design [Agilent Arabidopsis 3 Oligo Microarray [G4142A]], producing 12 raw data files and 0 transformed and/or normalized data files. In the first two hybridizations (#1 and #2), two independent transgenic Arabidopsis lines containing a construct carrying the Arabidopsis gene At1g06160 fused to an inducible promoter were used. This promoter is activated after the addition of the chemical estradiol to the plant medium. Addition of estradiol results in overexpression of At1g06160. For each independent line, total RNA from estradiol-treated and -untreated plants were collected and labeled with Cy3 and Cy5, respectively, and hybridization was performed for each At1g06160-inducible line. Two other hybridizations (#3 and #4) were performed using two independent transgenic Arabidopsis control lines containing a construct carrying the GUS gene fused to an inducible promoter. For each independent line, total RNA from estradiol-treated and -untreated plants were collected and labeled with Cy3 and Cy5, respectively and hybridization was performed for each GUS-inducible line. The last 8 hybridizations were performed using wild-type Arabidopsis plants. The aim was analyze the effect of the jasmonic acid hormone or the effect of a combination of the jasmonic acid and ethylene hormones on gene expression in wild-type. Hybridizations #5 and #6: wild-type Arabidopsis seedlings were treated with jasmonic acid (JA) or with the control DMSO and total RNA was collected after 8 hours. Total RNA from JA-treated and DMSO-treated plants were collected and labeled with Cy3 and Cy5, respectively, and hybridization was performed. A second hybridization was performed using independent biological samples that were treated and labeled similarly. Hybridizations #7 and #8: wild-type Arabidopsis seedlings were treated with jasmonic acid (JA) or with the control DMSO and total RNA was collected after 24 hours. Total RNA from JA-treated and DMSO-treated plants were collected and labeled with Cy3 and Cy5, respectively, and hybridization was performed. A second hybridization was performed using independent biological samples that were treated and labeled similarly. Hybridizations #9 and #10: wild-type Arabidopsis seedlings were treated with jasmonic acid (JA) and ethylene or with the control DMSO/Na-phosphate and total RNA was collected after 8 hours. Total RNA from JA/ethylene-treated and DMSO/Na-phosphate-treated plants were collected and labeled with Cy3 and Cy5, respectively, and hybridization was performed. A second hybridization was performed using independent biological samples that were treated and labeled similarly. Hybridizations #11 and #12: wild-type Arabidopsis seedlings were treated with jasmonic acid (JA) and ethylene or with the control DMSO/Na-phosphate and total RNA was collected after 24 hours. Total RNA from JA/ethylene-treated and DMSO/Na-phosphate-treated plants were collected and labeled with Cy3 and Cy5, respectively, and hybridization was performed. A second hybridization was performed using independent biological samples that were treated and labeled similarly.

Project description:Lymph-node (LN) metastases predict for high recurrence rates in breast cancer patients. Eradication of micro-metastatic tumor cells is the primary goal of adjuvant systemic treatment. Decisions regarding systemic treatment depend largely on primary tumor characteristics rather than on characteristics of their LN metastases. However, it remains unclear to what extent LN metastases, having already metastasized locally, resemble their primary breast tumors and as such will be eradicated by the systemic therapy chosen. In this study we investigated the genetic differences between primary breast cancers and their paired LN metastases using array comparative genomic hybridization analyses on a high resolution 720K Nimblegen platform. Thus far, no metastasis-specific genomic aberrations have been identified. We hypothesized that this is due to low-resolution platforms and lack of stratification on breast cancer subtypes (specifically, triple-negative (TN) versus luminal). Furthermore, we speculated that as TN tumours are known to be more genetically unstable, their LN metastases would show an increase in random copy number aberrations (CNAs). Therefore, we studied 10 primary TN breast tumour–LN pairs and 10 luminal pairs and found that all LN metastases clustered nearest to their matched tumour except for two. These two were explained by poor hybridization quality and, interestingly, the presence of two histological components in one tumour. We found no significantly altered CNAs between pairs in the whole group, nor when subdivided over subtypes; neither did we find a CNA increase in LN metastases compared to primary tumours within the TN subgroup, suggesting most CNAs are functional and not random. Our findings suggest a strong clonal relationship between primary breast tumours and its LN metastases and support the use of the primary tumor characteristics to guide adjuvant systemic chemotherapy in breast cancer patients, since primary tumors and their subsequent LN metastases seem remarkably similar, at least prior to treatment. The experiment contains 27 paired primary breast cancer samples with their lymph node metastases, analysed on a 135K whole genome CGH array
