Description
Purified phage was used to prevent tumor growth in a mouse model of bacteria aggravated-colorectal cancer. Composite E. coli phage or vehicle control was added to the drinking water of specific pathogen free (SPF) APCmin mice and animals were colonized with E.coli NC101. APCmin mice displayed no overall difference in the number of tumors that formed within the small intestine, however colonization with E. coli NC101 accelerated the growth of tumors resulting in a significant increase in large tumor formation. Importantly, bacteriophage treatment of AIEC colonized APCmin animals significantly reduced E. coli colonization. Overall design: 4 week old APCmin heterozygous mice were given a cocktail of 3 E. coli phage in drinking water for 4 weeks, then challenged with E. coli NC101 via oral gavage biweekly for 2 weeks. Mice were then maintained on drinking water containing phage mixture for 2 months.

Description
We report that colon adenomas from ApcMin/+ mice not only exhibit similarities in gene expression profile to colon adenomas from azoxymethane / dextran sulfate sodium-treated mice (with activating Ctnnb1 mutations) due to the activation of canonical WNT signaling, but also unique transcriptional changes in the pathways regulating cell cycle progression / proliferation, chromosome segregation / cytoskeletal organization and apoptosis. Subsequent experiments characterized changes in gene expression unique to colon adenomas from ApcMin/+ mice including increases in the H2afv, Map6 and Nsmf transcripts. Overall design: Examination of gene expression profiles in 2 different colon adenoma types with activated canonical WNT signaling, relative to their respective non-adenoma controls

Description
Pooling of microarray datasets seems to be a reasonable approach to increase sample size when a heterogeneous disease like breast cancer is concerned. Different methods for the adaption of datasets have been used in the literature. We have analyzed influences of these strategies using a pool of 3,030 Affymetrix U133A microarrays from breast cancer samples. We present data on the resulting concordance with biochemical assays of well known parameters and highlight critical pitfalls. We further propose a method for the inference of cutoff values directly from the data without prior knowledge of the true result. The cutoffs derived by this method displayed high specificity and sensitivity. Markers with a bimodal distribution like ER, PgR, and HER2 discriminate different biological subtypes of disease with distinct clinical courses. In contrast, markers displaying a continuous distribution like proliferation markers as Ki67 rather describe the composition of the mixture of cells in the tumor.

Description
We report the effect of DKK1 treatment during culture on the length and transcriptome of embryos on day 15 of development, supporting the notion that changes early in development affect later stages of development. Overall design: Bovine embryos were produced in vitro and exposed to either 0 or 100 ng/ml DKK1 from day 5 to 7 of culture. Embryos were transferred on day 7 and recovered on day 15 for evaluation of length and transciptome

Description
Background & Aims: Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) attenuates chemical and colitis-induced colon carcinogenesis in animal models. We investigated its mechanism of action on normal intestinal cells, in which carcinogenesis- or inflammation-related alterations do not interfere with the result. Methods: Alterations of gene expression were identified in Affymetrix arrays in isolated colon epithelium of mice fed with a diet containing 0.4% UDCA and were confirmed in the normal rat intestinal cell line IEC-6 by RT-PCR. The effect of the insulin receptor substrate 1 (Irs-1) expression and of ERK phosphorylation on proliferation was investigated in vitro by flow cytometry, western blotting, siRNA-mediated gene suppression or by pharmacological inhibition of the kinase activity. The ERK1-effect on Irs-1 transcription was tested in a reporter system. Results: UDCA-treatment in vivo suppressed potential pro-proliferatory genes including Irs-1 and reduced cell proliferation by more than 30%. In vitro it neutralised the proliferatory signals of IGF-1 and EGF and slowed down the cell cycle. Irs-1 transcription was suppressed due to high ERK1 activation. Both Irs-1 suppression and the persistent high ERK activation inhibited proliferation. Conversely, the decrease of phosphorylation of ERK1 (but not ERK2) or of its expression partially abrogated the inhibitory effects of UDCA. Conclusions: UDCA inhibits proliferation of intestinal epithelial cells by acting upon IGF-1 and EGF pathways and targeting ERK1 and, consequently, Irs-1. The inhibition of these pathways adds a new dimension to the physiological and therapeutic action of UDCA and, since both pathways are activated in inflammation and cancer, suggests new applications of UDCA in chemoprevention and chemotherapy.

Current prognostic gene expression profiles for breast cancer mainly reflect proliferation status and are most useful in ER-positive cancers. Triple-negative breast cancers (TNBCs) are clinically heterogeneous, and prognostic markers and biology-based therapies are needed to better treat this disease.
