Description
DAP12 is a transmembrane protein, expressed as a disulfide-bonded homodimer and bears an immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif (ITAM). DAP12 is broadly expressed in hematopoietic cells and associates with a variety of cell surface receptors in lymphoid and myeloid cells. Macrophages express several DAP12-associated receptors including triggering receptors expressed by myeloid cells (TREM)-1,2 and 3, myeloid DAP12-associating lectin (MDL)-1, CD200R like proteins CD200R3/R4 and CD300C/D/E .
Publication Title
Essential role of DAP12 signaling in macrophage programming into a fusion-competent state.

Description
Brassinosteroids (BRs) are growth-promoting plant hormones that play a role in abiotic stress responses, but molecular modes that enable this activity remain largely unknown. Here we show that BRs participate in the regulation of freezing tolerance. BR signaling-defective mutants of Arabidopsis thaliana were hypersensitive to freezing before and after cold acclimation. The constitutive activation of BR signaling, in contrast, enhanced freezing resistance. Evidence is provided that the BR-controlled basic helixloophelix transcription factor CESTA (CES) can contribute to the constitutive expression of the C-REPEAT/DEHYDRATION-RESPONSIVE ELEMENT BINDING FACTOR (CBF) transcriptional regulators that control cold responsive (COR) gene expression. In addition, CBF-independent classes of BR-regulated COR genes are identified that are regulated in a BR- and CES-dependent manner during cold acclimation. A model is presented in which BRs govern different cold-responsive transcriptional cascades through the posttranslational modification of CES and redundantly acting factors. This contributes to the basal resistance against freezing stress, but also to the further improvement of this resistance through cold acclimation.

Description
Circulating progesterone (P4) levels decline before the onset of parturition in most animals, but not in humans. This has led to the suggestion that there is functional withdrawal of P4 action at the myometrial level prior to labor onset. Mifepristone is widely used to induce human labour

- Affymetrix Arabidopsis ATH1 Genome Array (ath1121501)
Description
ALTERED MERISTEM PROGRAM1 (AMP1) is a member of the M28 family of carboxypeptidases with a pivotal role in plant development and stress adaptation. Its most prominent mutant defect is a unique hypertrophic shoot phenotype combining a strongly increased organ formation rate with enhanced meristem size and the formation of ectopic meristem poles. However, so far the role of AMP1 in shoot development could not be assigned to a specific molecular pathway nor is its biochemical function resolved. We used a chemical genetic approach to identify the drug hyperphyllin (HP), which specifically mimics the shoot defects of amp1, including plastochron reduction and enlargement and multiplication of the shoot meristem. To further assess whether hyperphyllin acts in an AMP1-dependent manner we compared the transcriptonal responses of hyperphyllin-treated wild-type Arabidopsis seedlings with those of untreated amp1 mutant seedlings.

Description
Background: Information on the carcinogenic potential of chemicals is only availably for High Production Volume products. There is however, a pressing need for alternative methods allowing for the chronic toxicity of substances, including carcinogenicity, to be detected earlier and more reliably. Here we applied advanced genomics to a cellular transformation assay to identify gene signatures useful for the prediction of risk for carcinogenicity. Methods: Genome wide gene expression analysis and qRT-PCR were applied to untransformed and transformed Balb/c 3T3 cells that exposed to 2, 4-diaminotoluene (DAT), benzo(a)pyrene (BaP), 2-Acetylaminoflourene (AAF) and 3-methycholanthrene (MCA) for 24h and 120h, at different concentrations, respectively. Furthermore, various bioinformatics tools were used to identify gene signatures predicting for the carcinogenic risk. Results: Bioinformatics analysis revealed distinct datasets for the individual chemicals tested while the number of significantly regulated genes increased with ascending treatment concentration of the cell cultures. Filtering of the data revealed a common gene signature that comprised of 13 genes whose regulation in cancer tissue has already been established. Strikingly, this gene signature was already identified prior to cell transformation therefore confirming the predictive power of this gene signature in identifying carcinogenic risks of chemicals. Comparison of fold changes determined by microarray analysis and qRT-PCR were in good agreement. Conclusion: Our data describes selective and commonly regulated carcinogenic pathways observed in an easy to use in vitro carcinogenicity assay. Here we defined a set of genes which can serve as a simply assay to predict the risk for carcinogenicity by use of an alternative in vitro testing strategy.

Description
We recently reported isolation of various cancer progenitor cells of transgenic c-Myc and c-Raf mouse lung tumors [Reamon-Buettner SM and Borlak J, 2008]. As lung tumors can arise following dysregulation of signalling pathways normally activated during lung development we were particularly interested in investigating the genetic heterogeneity of these cancer cell lines. By whole genome expression analysis we identified two cell lines (A2C12, cRAF_cMYC) to be very different from the remaining tumor cells. Specifically the A2C12 and cRAF_cMYC cell lines expressed various stem cell markers, most notably CD34, CD44, Pdpn and Dlg7. Likewise, the A2C12 and cRAF_cMYC expressed the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters Abcc1 and Abcg2 at different level when compared to other established cell lines. Furthermore, a genome wide expression profiling displayed differential gene expression pattern between and within progenitor cell lines. That provided important clues on heterogeneity in the signalling pathways amongst the cancer cell lines. We also knock down CD44 using a retroviral delivery system and observed an increased G1 peak and apoptosis as determined by flow cytometry. Finally, we analyzed promoters of regulated genes and identified overrepresented 18 transcription factor binding sites (TFBS) in common regulated genes, 10 unique TFBS in A2C12 and 9 unique TFBS in cRaf_cMyc. These data indicates that our tumor cell lines are suitable models to study the biology of lung cancer progenitor cell. Most importantly, we show that our tumor cell lines do not represent a homogeneous population of tumor-initiating cells. Understanding heterogeneity in tumors will lead to new diagnostic and therapeutic approaches.
