Project description:The LH surge induces panoply of events that are essential for ovulation and corpus luteum formation. The transcriptional responses to the LH surge of pre-ovulatory granulosa cells are complex and still poorly understood. In the present study, a genome wide bovine oligo array was used to determine how the gene expression profiles of granulosa cells are modulated by the LH surge. Granulosa cells from three different statuses were used (1) 2 h before the induction of the LH surge, (2) 6 h and (3) 22 h after the LH surge to assess the short and long term effects of this hormone on follicle differentiation. The results obtained were a list of differentially expressed transcripts for each granulosa cell group. To provide a comprehensive understanding of the processes at play, biological annotations were used to reveal the different functions of transcripts, confirming that the LH surge acts in a temporal manner. The pre-LH group is involved in typical tasks such as cell division, development and proliferation, while the short response of the LH surge included features such as response to stimulus, vascularisation and lipid synthesis, which are indicative of cells preparing for ovulation. The late response of granulosa cells revealed terms associated with protein localization and intra-cellular transport corresponding to the future secretion task that will be required for the transformation of granulosa cells into corpus luteum. Overall, results described in this study provide new insights into the different transcriptional steps that granulosa cells go through during ovulation and before luteinization. Three biological granulosa cells samples: 2 h pre-LH vs. 6 h post-LH vs. 22 h post-LH. Biological replicates: 3 with a technical dye-swap replicates (Dy 547 and Dy 647) for each biological replicate. Hybridizations were performed in a loop design for a total a 9 hybridizations.

Project description:Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) is a progressive neuromuscular disorder caused by contractions of repetitive elements within the macrosatellite D4Z4 on chromosome 4q35. In order to develop mRNA-based biomarkers of affected muscles, we used GeneChip Gene 1.0 ST arrays for global analysis of gene expression in muscle biopsy specimens obtained from FSHD subjects and their unaffected first degree relatives. FSHD typically affects biceps muscles more severely than deltoid muscles. To examine muscle-specific expression changes associated with FSHD while controlling for background genetic variation, we analyzed RNA extracted from both biceps and deltoids of FSHD subjects and unaffected first-degree relatives.

Project description:Gonadotrope or null cell pituitary tumors present clinically with signs of hypogonadism and hypopituitarism, together with visual disturbances due to mass effects. Since there are no medical therapies, surgery and/or radiation are the only therapeutic options. To identify dysregulated genes and/or pathways that may play a role in tumorigenesis and/ or progression, molecular profiling was performed on 14 gonadotrope tumors and 9 normal human pituitaries from autopsy samples. Principle component analysis (PCA) revealed clear discrimination between tumor and normal pituitary gene expression profiles. Bioinformatic analysis identified specific genes and pathways that were highly differentially regulated, including a cohort of putative downstream effectors of p53 were repressed in gonadotrope pituitary tumors, including GADD45β, GADD45γ and Reprimo with concomitant downregulation of the upstream regulator, PLAGL1. PLAGL1 reexpression in gonadotrope cells did not directly modulate the downstream targets. Further functional analysis of GADD45β was performed. Overexpression of GADD45β in mouse gonadotrope cells blocked proliferation, increased rates of apoptosis in response to growth factor withdrawal and increased colony formation in soft agar. In contrast to prior studies with GADD45γ, methylation interference assays showed no evidence of epigenetic modification of the GADD45β promoter in pituitary tumors. Thus, our data suggest that many components downstream of p53 are suppressed in gonadotrope pituitary tumors. A novel candidate, GADD45β is low in tumors and reexpression blocks proliferation, survival and tumorigenesis in gonadotrope cells. Unlike GADD45γ, GADD45β is not methylated to block its expression. Together these studies identify new targets and mechanisms to explore concerning pituitary tumor initiation and progression. To elucidate mechanisms involved in pituitary tumorigenesis and progression, we performed individual gene expression microarray analysis using Affy U133 Plus 2.0 GeneChips comparing 14 gonadotrope tumors with 9 normal pituitary samples obtained at autopsy.

Project description:We identified a congenic mouse with an introgressed region from the A/J donor inbred strain on an inbred C57BL/6J background that showed a reduced locomotor stimulant response to methamphetamine. We conducted microarray analysis of the striatum from drug-naive female and male mice that were 6-9 weeks old. The congenic region is on chromosome 11 and spans approximately 84-96 Mb. There were two groups of mice used in the analysis: B6 control mice versus congenic mice. Congenic mice were collapsed across heterozygous and homozygous genotypes. All mice are on a C57BL/6J background. Congenic mice differ only on chromosome 11 where they contain the introgressed A/J alleles from 84-96 Mb. 14 C57BL/6J wildtype mice and 14 B6.A/J congenic mice (84-96 Mb region from A/J strain) were examined for gene expression differences using striatal tissue (left and right punches pooled). All mice were drug-naïve and were 6-9 weeks old at the time of sacrifice.

Project description:This study compared 9 human islet preparations, extracted and prepared for clinical transplantation. Human islets were isolated as, and all were of transplant quality. Unamplified RNA was extracted and hybridized to Affymetrix HGU133+2 arrays. By using gene set enrichment analysis to investigate the variability of each probeset on the array, it was clear that isolated human islets undergo varying degrees of hypoxic stress. Further to this, key glycolytic genes, all of which are under the control of hypoxia inducing factor 1a (HIF-1a) were activated, indicating a switch towards anareobic glycolysis. Glycolysis severely impairs the ability of islets to sense glucose and secrete insulin in response to elevated blood sugar. We confirmed these findings in mouse rodents, demonstrated a dependance upon HIF-1a, and showed that even after 4 weeks, hypoxic islets retained their glycolytic molecular profile.

Project description:DNA methylation likely plays a role in the regulation of human stress reactivity. In a genome-wide analysis of blood DNA methylation in 85 healthy individuals a locus in the Kit ligand (KITLG) gene (cg27512205) had the strongest association with cortisol stress reactivity (p=5.8x10-6). Replication was obtained in two independent samples, one using blood (N=45, p=0.001) and the other using buccal cells (N=255,p=0.004). KITLG methylation strongly mediated the relationship between childhood trauma and cortisol stress reactivity (32% mediation). Its genomic location (CpG island shore within an H3K27ac enhancer mark) provide further evidence that KITLG methylation is functionally relevant for the programming of stress reactivity. Our results extend preclinical evidence for epigenetic regulation of stress reactivity to humans and provide leads to enhance our understanding of the neurobiological pathways underlying stress vulnerability. Bisulphite converted DNA from whole blood of 85 healthy controls exposed to psychosocial stress task (TSST-G) was hybridised to the Illumina Infinium 450k Human Methylation Beadchip The DOI for this paper will be 10.1038/NCOMMS10967.

Project description:To detect genetic variations affecting gene expression in mouse lung tumor tissue, we carried out a genetic linkage study on the transcriptome of lung tumors induced by urethane in an (A/J x C57BL/6)F4 intercross population, whose individual lung tumor multiplicity (Nlung) is linked to the genotype at the pulmonary adenoma susceptibility 1 (Pas1) locus (containing the Kras-37-bp marker) . In particular, susceptible animals carry the A/J-derived version of Pas1 in homozygousity or in heterozygousity, while tumor-resistant animals carry the C57BL/6-derived version. We found that expression levels of 1,179 and 1,579 genes are modulated by an expression quantitative trait locus (eQTL) in cis and in trans, respectively (LOD score > 5). Of note, the genomic area surrounding and including the Pas1 locus regulated 14 genes in cis and 857 genes in trans. In lung tumors of the same (A/J x C57BL/6)F4 mice, we found 1,124 genes whose transcript levels associated with Nlung (FDR < 0.001). The expression levels of about a third of these genes (n = 401) were regulated by the genotype at the Pas1 locus. Pathway analysis of the sets of genes associated with Nlung and regulated by Pas1 revealed a set of 14 recurrently represented genes that are components or targets of the RasâErk and Pi3kâAkt signaling pathways. In conclusion, our results illustrate the architecture of germline control of gene expression in mouse lung cancer: they highlight the importance of Pas1 as a tumor-modifier locus, attribute to it a novel role as a major regulator of transcription in lung tumor nodules and strengthen the candidacy of the Kras gene as the effector of this locus. Female animals of the lung tumor-susceptible A/J strain (A) were mated with males of the lung tumor-resistant C57BL/6 strain (B), and offspring were bred to the fourth generation (ABF4). At 4 weeks of age, 143 male ABF4 mice were treated with a single intraperitoneal injection of the chemical carcinogen urethane to induce the development of lung tumors. When the animals were 40 weeks of age, they were killed, the lungs were removed for tumor counting (values of lung tumor multiplicity [Nlung] varied substantially among individuals, ranging from 1 to 33 in the animals that developed tumors), and a single lung tumor, 1â1.5 mm in diameter, was excised from each for RNA extraction.

Project description:The DALIA-1 trial was designed to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of a DC-based vaccine generated by culturing blood monocytes with GM-CSF and IFN-a. DCs were pulsed for 24 hrs with the ANRS LIPO5 peptide pool and activated for the last 6 hrs with LPS. In total, 19 asymptomatic HAART-treated patients were included in the study. Microarray samples were collected in both the treatment phase and follow-up phase of the study. Whole blood RNA samples were collected at two time points prior to the first vaccination (Weeks -8 and -4) and served as a pre-vaccination baseline. Additional whole blood RNA samples were collected at the time of vaccination (Weeks 0, 4, 8, 12) and post-vaccination at weeks 16, 22, and 24. At week 24, an analytical treatment interruption (ATI) was initiated during which HAART was suspended. During this post-ATI follow-up phase, whole blood RNA samples were collected at weeks 25, 26, 27, 28, 32, 36, 40, , 44, and 48). Additionally, at weeks -4, 16, and 48 patients were apheresed. 18 samples are constituents of both the pre-ATI and post-ATI datasets, which were normalized separately. The normalised data underwent the following preprocessing: First a normal-exponential convolution model was applied (Xie et al, Bioinformatics, 2009; Shi et al, Nucleid Acids Research, 2010) to correct for the background noise. An offset of 16 (default value) was then added to the data (to improve precision and avoid a compression of the fold changes) before a quantile-quantile normalization was performed. Finally, data were log2 transformed. Only probes whose pval-detection (provided by Illumina Genome-Studio software) was below 0.01 in at least one sample were kept further on. At last, the ComBat method (Johnson et al, Biostatistics, 2007) was applied to those data in order to correct for batch effects (namely a small hybridization chamber effect, that was identified through Principal Variance Component Analysis - Li et al, chap. 12, Batch Effects and Noise in Microarray Experiments: Sources and Solutions, Wiley, 2009).
