View SamplesIDH1-R132H is expressed in Low Grade Glioma (LGG) in combination with loss of function mutation in ATRX and TP53 genes. IDH1-R132H results in gain of function with production of 2-hydroxygluatrate, that in turn generates a hypermethylatyed phenotype in DNA and histone with consequences in epigenetic regulation of gene expression. Here we will compare the gene expression profile between IDH1-R132H and IDH1 Wt LLG animal brain tumors in reponse to radiation Overall design: Evaluate differential gene expression between Brain DH1-R132H and IDH1 wt in response to 10Gy ionizing radiation at 14 days after tumor neurospheres implantation
IDH1-R132H acts as a tumor suppressor in glioma via epigenetic up-regulation of the DNA damage response.

View SamplesBoth spotted long oligonucleotide arrays (GPL1384) and Affymetrix GeneChip arrays (GPL96) were used to analyze gene expression in six human head and neck squamous cell carinoma samples versus control samples or lymph node metastases of the same patients. Hybridizations of HG-U133A GeneChip arrays were performed using standard Affymetrix protocols and equipment. Before hybridization on DKFZ Operon 27k long oligonucleotide arrays, 2 g RNA were amplified by one round of linear isothermal RNA amplification, followed by Cy-dUTP incorporation using Klenow fragment. Hybridizations were performed for 16 h at 42 C in a GeneTAC Hybridization Station (Genomic Solutions) using UltraHyb hybridization buffer (Ambion). Hybridized microarrays were scanned at 5 m resolution on a GenePix 4000B microarray scanner (Axon Instruments). Raw signal intensities from both platforms were normalized applying variance stabilization (W. Huber et al., Bioinformatics 18 Suppl 1, 2002). Expression ratios were compared for those genes represented in both array platforms.

View SamplesExtracts from the rhizome of Cimicifuga racemosa (black cohosh) are increasingly popular as herbal alternative to hormone replacement therapy (HRT) for the alleviation of postmenopausal disorders. However, the molecular mode of action and the active principles are presently not clear. Previously published data have been largely contradictory. We, therefore, investigated the effects of a lipophilic Cimicifuga rhizome extract on the ER+ breast cancer MCF-7 cells at transcriptional level in comparision to 17beta-estradiol and the ER antagonist tamoxifen. With the extract 431 genes were regulated more than 1.5 fold. The overall expression pattern differed from those of 17-estradiol or the estrogen receptor antagonist tamoxifen. We observed an enrichment of genes in an anti-proliferative and apoptosis-sensitizing manner, together with an increase of mRNAs coding for gene products involved in several stress response pathways. Regulated genes of these functional groups were highly overrepresented among all regulated genes. Various transcripts coding for oxidoreductases were induced, as for example the cytochrome P450 family members 1A1 and 1B1. In addition, some transcripts associated with antitumor but also tumor-promoting activity were regulated.

View SamplesForced expression of activated beta-catenin in mouse dermal fibroblasts is sufficient to cause spontaneous, progressive skin fibrosis in vivo. We generated triple-transgenic HoxB6CreERT/+; R26-YFP/+; Catnb?ex3/+ "activated beta-catenin" mice and double-transgenic HoxB6CreERT/+; R26-YFP/+ littermate control mice. We induced Cre activity (resulting in expression of activated beta-catenin in triple-transgenic mutant fetuses) by administering tamoxifen to the pregnant dam at embryonic day 16.5. The activated beta-catenin mice developed fibrotic skin, characterized by elevated collagen deposition and increased fibroblast proliferation. We performed RNA-sequencing to profile gene expression in the dermis of control and activated beta-catenin mutant mice with established skin fibrosis at 3 weeks of age. Overall design: Gene expression profiles were determined by paired-end sequencing (Illumina HiSeq 2500) of total RNA from the dermis of 3 activated beta-catenin and 3 littermate control mice at 3 weeks of age.
Sustained β-catenin activity in dermal fibroblasts promotes fibrosis by up-regulating expression of extracellular matrix protein-coding genes.
