Affymetrix Mouse Gene 1.0 ST Array (mogene10st)
Description
Kv10.1 (Eag1), member of the Kv10 family of voltage-gated potassium channels, is preferentially expressed in adult brain. The aim of the present study was to unravel the functional role of Kv10.1 in the brain by generating knockout mice, where the voltage sensor and pore region of Kv10.1 was removed to render non-functional proteins through deletion of exon 7 of the KCNH1 gene using the 3 Lox P strategy. Kv10.1-deficient mice show no obvious alterations during embryogenesis and develop normally to adulthood; cortex, hippocampus and cerebellum appear anatomically normal. Other tests, including general health screen, sensorimotor functioning and gating, anxiety, social behaviour, learning and memory did not show any functional aberrations in Kv10.1 null mice. Kv10.1 null mice display mild hyperactivity and longer-lasting haloperidol-induced catalepsy, but there was no difference between genotypes in amphetamine sensitisation and withdrawal, reactivity to apomorphine and haloperidol in the prepulse inhibition tests or to antidepressants in the haloperidol-induced catalepsy. Furthermore, electrical properties of Kv10.1 in cerebellar Purkinje cells did not show any difference between genotypes. Bearing in mind that Kv10.1 is overexpressed in over 70% of all human tumours and that its inhibition leads to a reduced tumour cell proliferation, the fact that deletion of Kv10.1 does not show a marked phenotype is a prerequisite for utilising Kv10.1 blocking and/or reduction techniques, such as siRNA, to treat cancer.

Description
Regulation of endothelial nutrient transport is poorly understood. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-B signaling in endothelial cells promotes uptake and transcytosis of fatty acids (FA) from the bloodstream to the underlying tissue, advancing pathological lipid accumulation and lipotoxicity in diabetic complications. Here we demonstrate a VEGF-B dependent obstruction of endothelial glucose transport attributed to plasma membrane lipid alterations affecting glucose transporter 1 function, which was independent of FA uptake. Specifically, VEGF-B signaling impaired recycling of low-density lipoprotein receptor to the plasma membrane, leading to reduced cholesterol uptake and membrane cholesterol loading, decreasing endothelial glucose uptake capacity. Inhibiting VEGF-B in vivo was accordingly linked to reconstitution of membrane cholesterol and induction of glucose uptake, of particular relevance for conditions inferring insulin resistance and diabetic complications. In summary, our study reveals a novel mechanism of action for VEGF-B in endothelial nutrient uptake and highlights the impact of membrane cholesterol for the regulation of endothelial glucose transport.

Description
Estrogen receptor (ER) is a key regulator of breast growth and breast cancer development. However, the role of ER in metabolic reprogramming, a hallmark of cancer, is not well documented. In this study, using an integrated approach combining genome-wide mapping of chromatin bound ER with estrogen induced transcript and metabolic profiling, we demonstrate that ER reprograms metabolism upon estrogen stimulation, including changes in aerobic glycolysis, nucleotide and amino acid synthesis, and choline metabolism. We show, for the first time, that the ER target gene choline phosphotransferase 1 (CHPT1) plays an essential role in estrogen induced increases in phosphatidylcholine (PtdCho) levels and that CHPT1 promotes tumorigenesis and proliferation. Furthermore, we show that CHPT1 is overexpressed in tumors compared to normal breast. We also demonstrate that ER promotes aerobic glycolysis through increased expression of glycolytic genes. In conclusion, this study highlights the importance of ER for metabolic alterations in breast cancer cells. Furthermore, overexpression of the ER target CHPT1 in breast cancer supports its potential as a therapeutic target.

Description
The contribution of aberrant DNA methylation and the downstream effects in tumorogenesis through silencing of tumor suppressor genes (TSGs) and microRNAs has been investigated. Since these epigenetic alterations can be reversed, we investigated the effects of the epigenetic therapy in breast cancer cell lines.
