Affymetrix Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 Array (hgu133plus2)
Description
Pathologic and epidemiologic evidence has led to a histologic model of breast cancer progression that involves advancement through specific morphologic stages including atypical ductal hyperplasia (ADH), ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) and invasive mammary carcinoma (IMC), although not necessarily always in a linear fashion. Numerous observational studies have examined genetic, epigenetic and gene expression differences in breast tissues representing these different stages of progression, but model systems which would allow for experimental testing of specific factors influencing transition through these stages are scarce. The 21T series cell lines, all originally derived from the same patient with metastatic breast cancer, have been proposed to represent a mammary tumor progression series. We report here that three of the 21T cell lines indeed mimic specific stages of human breast cancer progression (21PT-derived cells, ADH; 21NT-derived cells, DCIS; 21MT-1 cells, IMC) when grown in the mammary fat pad of nude mice, albeit after up to a year post-injection. In order to develop a more rapid, readily manipulatable in vitro assay for examining the biologic differences between these cell lines, we have made use of a 3D Matrigel system. When grown in 3D Matrigel, we have found characteristic morphologies of the three cell lines in which quantifiable aspects of the stage-specific in vivo behaviors (i.e. differences in acinar structure formation, cell polarization, cell cohesiveness, cell proliferation, cell invasion) are re-capitulated in a reproducible fashion. Gene expression profiling has revealed a characteristic pattern for each of the three cell lines. Interestingly, WNT pathway alterations are particularly predominant in the early transition from 21PTci (ADH) to 21NTci (DCIS), whereas alterations in expression of genes associated with control of cell motility and invasiveness phenomena are more prominent in the later transition of 21NTci (DCIS) to 21MT-1 (IMC). This system thus reveals potential therapeutic targets and will provide a means of testing the influences of identified genes on transitions between these stages of pre-malignant to malignant growth.

Description
This study compares a cell line (MDA-MB-468GFP-LN) that aggressively metastasizes to lymph nodes to its parental line MDA-MB-468GFP. Derivation of the lines is described in Vantyghem et al, Clinical & Experimental Metastasis (2005) 22: 351361. The goal here was to compare the gene expression profile of MDA-MB-468GFP-LN to MDA-MB-468GFP, Compare differential expression to databases of genes known to be involved in either cancer stem cell identification or lymph node specific metastasis in large scale clinical studies, and to confirm genes by RT-PCR

Illumina Genome Analyzer II
Description
Cumulus cells are biologically distinct from other follicular cells and perform specialized roles, transmitting signals within the ovary and supporting oocyte maturation during follicular development. The bi-directional communication between the oocyte and the surrounding cumulus cells is crucial for the acquisition of oocyte competence. Using Illumina/deep-sequencing technology, we dissected the small RNAome of pooled human mature MII oocytes and cumulus cells. Overall design: Cumulus cells and MII mature oocytes small RNA profiles were generated by deep-sequencing, using Illumina 1G sequencer

Description
We recently reported that carbon monoxide (CO) has bactericidal activity. To understand its mode of action we analysed the gene expression changes occurring when Escherichia coli, grown aerobically and anaerobically, is treated with the carbon monoxide releasing molecule, CORM-2. The E. coli microarray analysis shows that E. coli CORM-2 response is multifaceted with a high number of differentially regulated genes spread through several functional categories, namely genes involved in inorganic ion transport and metabolism, regulators, and genes implicated in posttranslational modification, such as chaperones. CORM-2 has higher impact in E. coli cells grown anaerobically, as judged by the existence of repressed genes belonging to eight functional classes which are absent in aerobically CORM-2 treated cells. In spite of the relatively stable nature of the CO molecule, our results show that CO is able to trigger a significant alteration in the transcriptome of E. coli which necessarily has effects in several key metabolic pathways.

Description
To assess the effect of different forms of TL1A within different organs of the mouse we generated 2 different transgenic mouse lines where TL1A was expressed under the control of the CD2 promoter. 2 forms of TL1A was used. Either WT TL1A, which led to over expression of both membrane bound and soluble forms of TL1A (Refered to as Mem+Sol) or TL1A Delta 69-93 which only overexpressed membrane restricted TL1A (Refered to as Mem). Lungs and terminal ileums were taken from Either Mem, Mem+sol or WT litermate control mice at 12 weeks of age and the transcriptome assessed using RNAseq Through this we demonstrated enrichment of different transcripts and pathways both dependent on and independent of the form of TL1A and the site of action. This study is also the first to use RNASeq to assess the resualt of overexpression of TL1A within the mouse. Overall design: Poly-A purified mRNA profiles from the Ileum and Lung of Mem, Mem+Sol and WT mice generated using Illumina based RNASeq
