Affymetrix Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 Array (hgu133plus2)
Description
p63, like its homologue, the tumor suppressor p53, is also able to induce apoptosis in several cancer cell types. p53 family proteins are composed of three characteristic domains which are: 1) an N-terminal transactivation domain (TAD); 2) a central DNA-binding domain (DBD); and 3) an oligomerization domain (OD). In this study, we constructed recombinant adenoviruses containing hybrid genes composed of fragments of p53 and TAp63 genes by connecting coding sequences of their three functional domains. The potency of tumor growth suppression of these hybrid molecules was evaluated using in vitro and in vivo models. One of the p53-p63 hybrid molecules, p63-53O, was observed to be the most potent activator of human cancer cells to apoptosis when compared to the p53, TAp63 or several alternative p53-p63 hybrid molecules. p63-53O hybrid is composed of TAD and DBD of TAp63 and OD of p53. In an effort to identify specific targets regulated by pro-apoptotic hybrid p63-53O, we next performed Affymetrix Genechip analysis and compared expression patterns in a human osteosarcoma cell line Saos-2 transfected separately with Ad-p53, Ad-TAp63 and Ad-p63-53O.

Description
The p53 family consists of three members, p53, p73, and p63. These proteins share a high degree of amino-acid sequence similarity and major functional domains. The p53 gene, the first member of the family to be identified, is the most frequent target gene for genetic alterations in human cancers. In contrast, p73 and p63 are mainly involved in normal development and differentiation. These differences among the p53 family are likely to depend on activation or repression of different sets of target genes. In this study, to identify targets specifically regulated by p73, we performed microarray analysis and compared expression patterns in a human steosarcoma cell line Saos-2 infected separately with p53 and TAp73beta expressing adenovirus.

Description
We found that CITED2 is highly expressed in metastatic prostate cancer, and its expression is correlated with poor survival in pateints. In this study, we used an siRNA to decrease CITED2 expression in PC3 cells. A RNA-seq approach was utilized in order to determine global gene expression changes in CITED2 knockdown cells compared to control cells. Overall design: PC3 cells transfected with control siRNAs were used as controls. Cells transfected with siRNAs targeting CITED2 were used as experimental group. Cells were transfected for 72 hr and the analyses were done.

Description
Our previous investigation indicated that high-virulence C. gattii (C. gattii TIMM 4097) tend to reside in the alveoli, whereas low-virulence C. gattii (C. gattii TIMM 4903) tend to be washed out from the alveoli and move into the central side of the respiratory system. To test this hypothesis, we performed microarray assay.

Description
The NGS-associated mRNA-seq analysis was conducted to survey transcriptome changes responding to three UPR inducers (tunicamycin, DTT, & Azetidine-2-cytosine) by four double mutant of three UPR-associated transcription factors (bZIP17, bZIP28, & bZIP60) and two activators (S1P & S2P). Overall design: Four double mutant lines (bz17/28, bz28/60, bz17/60, and s1p/s2p) were subjected to the analysis.

Description
We conditionally inactivated mouse Cdx2, a dominant regulator of intestinal development, and mapped its genome occupancy in adult intestinal villi. Although homeotic transformation, observed in Cdx2-null embryos, was absent in mutant adults, gene expression and cell morphology were vitally compromised. Lethality was accelerated in mice lacking both Cdx2 and its homolog Cdx1, with exaggeration of defects in crypt cell replication and enterocyte differentiation. Cdx2 occupancy correlated with hundreds of transcripts that fell but not with equal numbers that rose with Cdx loss, indicating a predominantly activating role at intestinal cis-regulatory regions. Integrated consideration of a mutant phenotype and cistrome hence reveals the continued and distinct requirement in adults of a master developmental regulator that activates tissue-specific genes.

Description
Brown adipose tissue dissipates energy through heat and functions as a defense against cold and obesity. PPAR ligands have been shown to induce the browning of white adipocytes; however, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Here we show that PPAR ligands require full agonism to induce a brown fat gene program preferentially in subcutaneous white adipose. These effects require expression of PRDM16, a factor that controls the development of classical brown fat. Depletion of PRDM16 blunts the effects of the PPAR agonist rosiglitazone on the induced brown fat gene program. Conversely, PRDM16 and rosiglitazone synergistically activate the brown fat gene program in vivo. This synergy is tightly associated with an increased accumulation of PRDM16 protein, due in large measure to an increase in the half-life of the protein in agonist treated cells. Identifying compounds that stabilize PRDM16 protein may represent a novel therapeutic pathway for the treatment of obesity and diabetes.

Description
As Trypanosoma cruzi, the etiological agent of Chagas disease, multiplies in the cytoplasm of nucleated host cells, infection with this parasite is highly likely to affect host cells. We performed an exhaustive transcriptome analysis of T. cruzi-infected HeLa cells using an oligonucleotide microarray containing probes for greater than 47,000 human gene transcripts. In comparison with uninfected cells, those infected with T. cruzi showed greater than threefold up-regulation of 41 genes and greater than threefold down-regulation of 23 genes. Real-time reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) of selected, differentially expressed genes confirmed the microarray data. Many of these up- and down-regulated genes were related to cellular proliferation, including seven up-regulated genes encoding proliferation inhibitors and three down-regulated genes encoding proliferation promoters, strongly suggesting that T. cruzi infection inhibits host cell proliferation, which may allow more time for T. cruzi to replicate and produce its intracellular nests. These findings provide new insight into the molecular mechanisms by which intracellular T. cruzi infection influences the host cell, leading to pathogenicity.
