Affymetrix Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 Array (hgu133plus2)
Description
Radiation is an established cause of thyroid cancer and growing evidence supports a role for H2O2 in spontaneous thyroid carcinogenesis. Little is known about the molecular programs activated by these agents in thyroid cells. We profiled the DNA damage response and cell death induced by -radiation (0.15Gy) and H2O2 (0.00250.3mM) in primary human thyroid cells and T-cells. While the two cell types had more comparable radiation responses, 3- to 10-fold more H2O2 was needed to induce detectable DNA damage in thyrocytes. At H2O2 and radiation doses incurring double-strand breaks (DSB), cell death occurred after 24hrs in T-cells, but not in thyrocytes. We next prepared thyroid and T-cells primary cultures from 8 donors operated for non-cancerous pathologies and profiled their genome-wide transcriptional response 4hr after: 1) exposure to 1 Gy radiation, 2) treatment with H2O2, or 3) no treatment. Two H2O2 doses were investigated, calibrated in each cell type as to elicit levels of single- and double-strand breaks equivalent to 1 Gy -radiation. The transcriptional responses of thyrocyte and T-cells to radiation were similar, involving DNA repair and cell death genes. In addition to this transcriptional program, H2O2 also upregulated antioxidant genes in thyrocytes, including glutathione peroxidases (GPx) at the DSB-inducing dose. By contrast, a transcriptional storm involving thousands of genes was raised in T-cells. Finally, we showed that GPx inhibition reduced the DNA damaging effect of H2O2 in thyrocytes. We conjecture that defects of anti- H2O2 protection could promote spontaneous thyroid cancers.

- Affymetrix Mouse Genome 430 2.0 Array (mouse4302)
Description
We propose a method to compare the location and variability of gene ex-pression between two groups of microarrays using a permutation test based on the pairwise distance between microarrays. The microarrays could be samples from distinct clinical or biological populations or microarrays prepared at two different levels of an experimental factor. For these tests the entire microarray or some pre-specifed subset of genes, not the individual gene, is the unit of analysis. We apply this method to compare results from two dfferent protocols for preparing labeled targets for microarray hybridization and their subsequent gene expression analysis.

Description
The molecular chaperons FK506-binding proteins (Fkbps) comprise one of three families of peptidyl prolyl isomerases, which promote the transition between cis- and trans-conformations of peptidyl prolyl bonds. Mouse Fkbp family is composed of at least 15 members, but the functions of the large family in cell proliferation and differentiation remain elusive. During myoblast differentiation, the cells need to exit the cell cycle before fusion and terminal differentiation to form myotubes. The clear distinction between proliferation and differentiation provides an ideal model with which to investigate the roles of Fkbps in these two cell biological events. We found that depletion of FkbpC in mouse myoblasts delayed the exit from the cell cycle and expression of myotube-specific genes, whereas its overexpression caused opposite effects. At a mechanistic level, our study revealed a crucial function of FkbpC in Cdk4 activation during myoblast proliferation. Cdk4 undergoes conformational changes in the HSP90/Cdc37/Cdk4 complex as a prerequisite for activation through binding to CyclinD1 accompanied by phosphorylation. Our results showed that FkbpC depletion released Cdk4 from the HSP90 complex, which increased the Cdk4/CyclinD1 complex in myoblasts and sustained high levels of phosphorylated Cdk4 and Rb during differentiation. These results explain the delayed cell cycle exit and differentiation in the depleted cells. In addition, after synchronizing the cell cycle of myoblasts we found dynamic changes of the amounts of FkbpC and Cdk4 in the HSP90 complex during the G1/S transition. Knockout mice of FkbpC demonstrated delayed muscle regeneration after chemical damage, providing an in vivo evidence for the essential role of FkbpC in muscle differentiation. Collectively, our study uncovered FkbpC's critical function as a novel switch regulating the transition from proliferation to differentiation through controlling one of the central regulators of proliferation, Cdk4. Overall design: mRNA profiles of Fkbp4 knockdown, Fkbp5 knockdown and control C2C12 cells at d0, d3 and d5 were generated by using Illumina HiSeq2500.
