Illumina MouseWG-6 v2.0 expression beadchip
Description
Isolation and culture of primary prostate epithelial stem/progenitor cells (PESC) has been proven difficult and ineffective. Here we present methods to grow and expand both murine and human basal PESCs long-term in serum- and feeder-free conditions. The method enriches for adherent mouse basal PESCs with a Lin-Sca1+ CD49f+Trop2high phenotype. Progesterone and sodium selenite are additionally required for the growth of human Lin-CD49f+Trop2high PESCs. The gene expression profiles of expanded basal PESCs show similarities to ES cells and Lamin B1 and PRDX1 were identified as novel PESC markers. If transplanted in combination with urogenital sinus mesenchyme, expanded mouse and human PESCs generate ectopic prostatic tubules demonstrating their stem cell activity in vivo. The novel methods will facilitate the cellular, molecular and genomic characterization of normal and pathologic prostate glands of mouse and human origin.

Description
A comprehensive omic, computational, and physiological approach was employed to examine the (previously unexplored) role of microRNAs (miRNAs) as regulators of IAS smooth muscle contractile phenotype and basal tone. MicroRNA profiling, genome wide expression, validation and network analyses were employed to assess changes in mRNA and miRNA expression in IAS smooth muscles from young vs. aging rats. Multiple miRNAs, including rno-miR-1, rno-miR-340-5p, rno-miR-185, rno-miR-199a-3p, rno-miR-200c, rno-miR-200b, rno-miR-31, rno-miR-133a and rno-miR-206 were found to be up-regulated in aging IAS. qRT-PCR confirmed the up-regulated expression of these miRNAs and down regulation of multiple, predicted targets (Eln, Col3a1, Col1a1, Zeb2, Myocd, SRF, Smad1, Smad2, RhoA/ROCK2, Fn1, Sm22-v2, Klf4, and Acta2) involved in regulation of SM contractility. Subsequent studies demonstrated an aging-associated increase in the expression of miR-133a, corresponding decreases in RhoA, ROCK2, MYOCD, SRF and SM22 protein expression, RhoA-signaling, and a decrease in basal and agonist (U-46619 (thromboxane A2 analog))-induced increase in the IAS tone. Moreover, in vitro transfection of miR-133a caused a dose-dependent increase of IAS tone in strips, which was reversed by anti-miR-133a. Lastly, in vivo perianal injection of anti-miR-133a reversed the loss of IAS tone associated with age. This work establishes the important regulatory effect of miRNA-133a on basal and agonist-stimulated IAS tone. Moreover, reversal of age-associated loss of tone via anti-miR delivery strongly implicates miR dysregulation as a causal factor in the aging-associated decrease in IAS tone, and suggests miR-133a is feasible therapeutic target in aging-associated rectoanal incontinence.

Description
miR-34a is strongly induced upon TPA-induced megakaryocyte differentiation of K562 cells. To investigate the gene networks regulated by this miRNA during the process of differentiation we performed gene microarray analysis in K562 cells overexpressing miR-34a or a control sequence.

Description
Analysis of gene expression of prostate tumors arisen in TRAMP mice in which mast cells are pharmacologically stabilized or genetically ablated.The hypothesis tested in the present study was that mast cells inhibition or absence impacted prostate tumor development and histotype. Results demonstrate that prostate tumors arisen in TRAMP mice in which mast cells are pharmacologically stabilized or genetically ablated have a neuroendocrine signature.

Description
MECP2 duplication syndrome, a childhood neurological disorder characterized by autism, intellectual disability, motor dysfunction, anxiety and epilepsy, is caused by a duplication on chromosome Xq28 spanning the MECP2 gene that results in doubling of MeCP2 levels. MECP2 overexpression in mice causes neurobehavioral and electroencephalographic defects similar to those of human patients, but the gross anatomy of the brain remains unaffected. We hypothesized that MECP2 duplication syndrome would be reversible and tested two methods to restore MeCP2 levels to normal: conditional genetic recombination and antisense oligonucleotide therapy. Both approaches rescued molecular, physiological and behavioral features of adult symptomatic mice. Antisense therapy also restored normal MeCP2 levels in lymphoblastoid cells from MECP2 duplication patients, in a dose-dependent manner. Our data indicate that antisense oligonucleotides could provide a viable therapeutic approach for human MECP2 duplication syndrome as well as other disorders involving copy number gains. Overall design: Hippocampal mRNA profiles of conditional MECP2 overexpression and genetic rescue mice were generated by deep sequencing, in triplicate, using Illumina TruSeq.
