Affymetrix Rat Genome 230 2.0 Array (rat2302)
Description
Two rat hepatic cell lines, WB-F344 and WB311, were characterized for the effect of rapamycin on gene expression. The WB311 cell line, which is tumorigenic and resistant to the growth inhibitory effects of rapamycin, was originally derived from the WB-F344 parental hepatic epithelial cell line. The goal of this experiment was to identify genes that responded to rapamycin in the sensitive cells but not the resistant cells, thereby providing insight into the mechanism of rapamycin resistance.

Description
The improvement of Ewing's sarcoma (EWS) therapy is currently linked to find strategies to select patients with poor and good prognosis at diagnosis and to generate modified treatment regimens. In this study, we analyze the molecular factors governing EWS response to chemotherapy in order to identify genetic signatures that may be used for risk-adapted therapy.

Description
strand specific sequencing of RNAs from MAoECs to determine the endothelial-specific expression profile of protein-coding and long non-coding RNAs Overall design: Total RNA was isolated from cultured MAoECs (passage 4) and processed for a strand-specific RNA sequencing. The RNA purity and integrity were assessed using the Fragment Analyzer Automated CE System (Advanced Analytical). A RQN of 8.8 and a 28S/18S ratio of 2.2 were considered acceptable for next generation sequencing assay. Five µg of DNase-treated RNA were used to prepare Massive Analysis of cDNA ends (MACE) libraries needed to perform a DNA-Methylation-Sequencing (Meth-Seq) PCR bias free quantification with TrueQuant Technology, followed by a high-throughput sequencing on the Illumina Genome Analyzer II system (GenXPro GmbH, Frankfurt, Germany). The procedure consist in the extraction of poly-adenylated RNA from 5 µg RNA and reverse transcribed with biotinylated poly(T) primers. cDNA is fragmented to an average size of 250 bp. Biotinylated ends are captured by streptavidin beads and ligated to modified adapters (TrueQuant DNA adapter, GenXPro). The libraries are amplified by PCR, purified by SPRI beads and sequenced (2 x 100 bp Illumina HiSeq2000 TrueSeq, 2 x 20 Mio. Reads poly-A selected paired-end reads). Paired end sequencing of both DNA strands from each end is required for fragment strand specificity.

Description
Mouse Bcell, upon ectopic expression of the transcription factor Cebpa for 18h, can be reprogrammed to iPS with extremely high efficiency. To understand the molecular control of this phenomena we performed multiple high throughtput functionnal genomic analysis. Overall design: Transcriptomic by RNAseqencing (polyA+, non stranded) in Bcell, Bcell+Cebpa18h, Bcell+Cebpa18h+OKSM1d, Bcell+Cebpa18h+OKSM2d, ES cells

Description
Human lymphoblastoid cell lines (EBV-immortalised B cells, LcL) obtained from subjects of different age (young 28-40 years, centenarians >95 years) were analysed for gene expression at basal culture conditions and after 48 hours of serum starvation. Lymphoid B cells from centenarians were more resistant to apoptosis induction and displayed a more developed lysosomal compartment, the most critical component of phagic machinery. In addition, cells from centenarians were capable of engulfing and digesting other cells, i.e. their siblings (even entire cells). This behavior was improved by nutrient deprivation, but strikingly, it was unaffected by the autophagy-modulating drugs rapamycin, an autophagy inducer, and 3-methyladenine, an autophagy inhibitor.

Description
Calorie restriction (CR) is a dietary regimen that supports healthy aging. In this study we investigated the systemic and liver-specific responses caused by a diet switch to a medium-fat (MF) diet in 24-month-old life-long, CR-exposed mice. This study aimed to increase the knowledge base on dietary alterations of gerontological relevance. Nine-week-old C57BL/6J mice were exposed either to a control, CR or MF diet. At the age of 24 months, a subset of mice of the CR group was transferred to ad libitum MF feeding (CR-MF).The mice were sacrificed at the age of 28 months, then biochemical and molecular analyses were performed. Our results showed that, despite the long-term exposure to the CR regimen, mice in the CR-MF group displayed hyperphagia, rapid weight gain, and hepatic steatosis. However, no hepatic fibrosis/injury or alteration in CR-improved survival was observed in the diet switch group. The liver transcriptomic profile of CR-MF mice largely shifted to a profile similar to the MF-fed animals but leaving ~22% of the 1578 differentially regulated genes between the CR and MF diet groups comparable with the expression of the life-long CR group. Therefore, although the diet switch was performed at an old age, the CR-MF-exposed mice showed plasticity in coping with the challenge of a MF diet without developing severe liver pathologies.

Description
With the population of older and overweight individuals on the rise in the Western world, there is an ever greater need to slow the aging processes and reduce the burden of age-associated chronic disease that would significantly improve the quality of human life and reduce economic costs. Caloric restriction (CR), is the most robust and reproducible intervention known to delay aging and to improve healthspan and lifespan across species (1); however, whether this intervention can extend lifespan in humans is still unknown. Here we report that rats and humans exhibit similar responses to long-term CR at both the physiological and molecular levels. CR induced broad phenotypic similarities in both species such as reduced body weight, reduced fat mass and increased the ratio of muscle to fat. Likewise, CR evoked similar species-independent responses in the transcriptional profiles of skeletal muscle. This common signature consisted of three key pathways typically associated with improved health and survival: IGF-1/insulin signaling, mitochondrial biogenesis and inflammation. To our knowledge, these are the first results to demonstrate that long-term CR induces a similar transcriptional profile in two very divergent species, suggesting that such similarities may also translate to lifespan-extending effects in humans as is known to occur in rodents. These findings provide insight into the shared molecular mechanisms elicited by CR and highlight promising pathways for therapeutic targets to combat age-related diseases and promote longevity in humans.
