Affymetrix Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 Array (hgu133plus2)
Description
In this study, investigators recruited the largest reported cohort of tolerant kidney transplant recipients who maintained their graft after ceasing to take their immunosuppression drug, and compared this cohort to subjects with stable allograft function while on immunosuppression and healthy non transplated, controls. Using gene expression studies, they identified genetic markers that are strong candidates for predicting kidney transplant candidates who may benefit from minimization or withdrawl of immunosuppression.

Description
Pheochromocytomas, catecholamine-secreting tumors of neural crest origin, are frequently hereditary. However, the molecular basis of the majority of these tumors is unknown. We identified the transmembrane-encoding gene TMEM127 on chromosome 2q11 as a new pheochromocytoma susceptibility gene. In a cohort of 103 samples, we detected truncating germline TMEM127 mutations in approximately 30% of familial tumors and about 3% of sporadic-appearing pheochromocytomas without a known genetic cause. The wild-type allele was consistently deleted in tumor DNA, suggesting a classic mechanism of tumor suppressor gene inactivation. Pheochromocytomas with mutations in TMEM127 are transcriptionally related to tumors bearing NF1 mutations and, similarly, show hyperphosphorylation of mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) effector proteins. Accordingly, in vitro gain-of-function and loss-of-function analyses indicate that TMEM127 is a negative regulator of mTOR. TMEM127 dynamically associates with the endomembrane system and colocalizes with perinuclear (activated) mTOR, suggesting a subcompartmental-specific effect. Our studies identify TMEM127 as a tumor suppressor gene and validate the power of hereditary tumors to elucidate cancer pathogenesis.

Description
Here, we examined the role of intestinal epithelial specific tumor suppressive function of 53. We provide evidence that p53 plays a dual role during carcinogen-induced tumorigenesis. At the initiation stage, p53 controls DNA damage and survival of initiated epithelia. In contrast, at later stages, loss of p53 is associated with the formation of an inflammatory microenvironment that is linked to epithelial mesenchymal transition, invasion and metastasis and the activation of NF-kappaB and Stat3. Thus, we propose a novel p53 controlled tumor suppressive function during the progression stage of colorectal cancer that is independent of its well-established role in cell cycle regulation, apoptosis and senescence.

Loss of p53 in enterocytes generates an inflammatory microenvironment enabling invasion and lymph node metastasis of carcinogen-induced colorectal tumors.

Description
Using fluorescence activated cell sorting, we isolated CD45+, CSF1R-GFP+, F4/80+, Ly6G- mouse lung monocytes and macrophages at 7 days after pneumonectomy procedure. We then used microfluidic single cell RNA-sequencing to transcriptional profile unique myeloid subsets. Using the pneumonectomy dataset, we identified 6 cell groups and 4 gene groups that marked several regenerative macrophage subsets including CCR2+, Ly6C+ monocytes and CD206+, Chil3+ M2-like macrophages. Overall design: individual macrophages 7 days post-pneumonectomy in a B6 CSF1R-GFP mouse

Using fluorescence activated cell sorting, we isolated CD45+, CSF1R-GFP+, F4/80+, Ly6G- mouse lung monocytes and macrophages at 7 days after sham thoracotomy procedures. We then used microfluidic single cell RNA-sequencing to transcriptional profile unique myeloid subsets. Overall design: After sequencing 31 single cell transcriptomes were analyzed. Hierarcical and k-means clustering reveals several populations of macrophages are present in the lung.

Description
Cystic Fibrosis lung disease progresses by a combination of accelerated airways inflammation and bacterial colonization and infection. Airways inflammation in CF is predominantly neutrophilic and complicates airway clearance therapies through cellular debris, excessive DNA, excessive and viscous mucous, and high concentrations of neutrophils,Il-8 and related cytokines liberated along the NFkB signaling pathway. We conducted a single site, randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled, proof-of-concept trial in which we evaluated the effects of 28 days of two dose levels (0.05 mg and 0.10 mg daily) of an older cardiac glycoside, digitoxin, as compared with placebo, on inflammatory markers in induced sputum obtained from 24 subjects with mild to moderate CF lung disease. Nasal epithelial cells from 23 subjects were analyzed for microarray analysis. CF patients 18 to 45 years old, any genotype combination, were eligible.

Description
Treatment of stationary growth phase Staphylococcus aureus SA113 with 100-fold of the MIC of the lipopeptide antibiotic daptomycin leaves alive a small fraction of drug tolerant albeit genetically susceptible bacteria. This study shows that cells of this subpopulation exhibit active metabolism even hours after the onset of the drug challenge. Isotopologue profiling using fully 13C-labeled glucose revealed de novo biosynthesis of the amino acids Ala, Asp, Glu, Ser, Gly and His. The isotopologue composition in Asp and Glu suggested an increased activity of the TCA cycle under daptomycin treatment compared to unaffected stationary growth phase cells. Microarray analysis showed differential expression of specific genes 10 minutes and 3 hours after addition of the drug. Besides factors involved in drug response, a number of metabolic genes appear to shape the signature of daptomycin-tolerant S. aureus cells. These observations will be useful towards the development of new strategies against persisters and related forms of bacterial cells with downshifted physiology.

Background and Aims: Analysis of aging-induced impairments in satellite cells (SCs) – the stem cells of skeletal muscle that are required for its regeneration. Hox genes are known to control stem cell function and development of various tissues. Overall design: Hindlimb muscles from young adult (3-4 months) and old (22-28 months) C57BL/6J mice were injured by BaCl2 injection in order to induce satellite cell activation. Satellite cells were isolated 3 days after injury and gene expression was analyzed.
