Description
Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is an immune-mediated peripheral neuropathy that debilitates the voluntary and autonomous response of the patient. In this study the transcriptome of peripheral blood mononuclear cells from a GBS patient and her healthy twin were compared to discover possible correlates of disease progression and recovery. Overall design: Blood samples were collected simultaneously from the Guillain-Barré patient (A) and from her control healthy twin (B) at three different time points during disease progression from hospitalization in the intensive care unit (T1), passing to intermediate care (T2), and at conclusion of locomotion rehabilitation program when the patient was close to abandon the hospital (T3).

Description
This is a transcriptomics analysis contributing to a bigger project that tries to shed light on the role of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) as a risk factor for colon cancer (CC). Here we present a gene expression screening of paired tumor and normal colon mucosa samples in a cohort of 42 CC patients, 23 of them with T2DM. Using gene set enrichment, we identified an unexpected overlap of pathways over-represented in diabetics compared to non-diabetics, both in tumor and normal mucosa, including diabetes-related metabolic and signaling processes. An integration with other -omic studies suggests that in diabetics, the local micro-environment in normal colon mucosa may be a factor driving field cancerization which may promote carcinogenesis. Several of these pathways converged on the tumor initiation axis TEAD/YAP-TAZ. Cell culture studies confirmed that high glucose concentrations upregulate this pathway in non-tumor colon cells. In conclusion, diabetes is associated to deregulation of cancer-related processes in normal colon mucosa adjacent to tissue which has undergone a malignant transformation. These data support the existence of the field of cancerization paradigm in diabetes and set a new framework to study link between diabetes and cancer.

This is a transcriptomics analysis contributing to a bigger project that tries to shed light on the role of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) as a risk factor for colon cancer (CC). Here we present a gene expression screening of 7 colon tumor xenograft samples, 2 with diabetic mice and 5 with normal blood glucose levels. For xenograft model details see: Prieto I, et al.

Description
Periostin participates in different processes involved in connective tissue homeostasis. It is also involved in repairment of damaged tissues. We used the osteoblast murine cell line MC3T3-E1 cell line to show how overexpresion of periostin is able to increase their adhesion properties while diminishing their migration capacity. By differential gene expression we evaluated putative targets involved in those cellular properties.

Description
Genetic factors contribute to the development of ischemic stroke but their identity remains largely unknown. We tested the association with ischemic stroke of 210 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with pathways functionally related to stroke. We observed an association between the rs7956957 SNP in LRP1 and next performed microarrays analysis in healthy individuals to investigate possible associations of LRP genotypes with the expression of other genes.

Description
The alveolar type 1 (AT1) cell covers >95% of the gas exchange surface and is extremely thin to facilitate passive gas diffusion. The development of this highly specialized cell is poorly understood including fundamental questions regarding cell number and morphology. Using new molecular stereology and single cell imaging methods, we show that AT1 cells develop via a non-proliferative two-step process while maintaining proliferative potential. In the flattening step, AT1 cells remodel cell junctions and undergo molecular specification. In the folding step, AT1 cells are sculptured to match secondary septa formation, resulting in a single AT1 cell spanning multiple alveoli. AT1 cells grow in size by >10-fold, fueling most of the postnatal lung growth. Strikingly AT1 cells proliferate upon ectopic SOX2 expression and undergo stage-dependent cell fate reprogramming. These results contradict the traditional view of AT1 cells being terminally differentiated and provide insights to alveolar maturation. In this experiment, we conducted next-generation sequencing on flow-sorter AT1 cells isolated from mouse lungs ectopically expressing Sox2 under the control of the AT1-specific promoter Scnn1a versus control AT1 cells. Overall design: Two samples of Sox2-expressing AT1 cells versus two control AT1 samples.

- Affymetrix Mouse Gene 1.0 ST Array (mogene10st)
Description
Notch intracellular domain (NICD) is the active form of the Notch receptor. In this mouse model, NICD is inserted in the Rosa26 locus downstream of a loxP-STOP-LoxP (lsl) sequence and therefore NICD expression is dependant on Cre recombinase expression. These mice are crossed with the AFP-Cre strain that expresses Cre in hepatoblasts due to its regulation by the AFP promoter and albumin enhancer. Mice from 6 to 12 months are sacrificed and liver RNA samples from control monotransgenic Rosa26-lsl-NICD and confirmed HCC lesions from bitransgenic AFP-Cre/Rosa26-lsl-NICD (AFP-NICD) are obtained. Exon expression profiling of these samples are submitted.

Description
To investigate the impact of ablating Bcl9/Bcl9l on tumorigenesis, 6-8- week-old mice were exposed first to a single dose dimethylhydrazine (DMH, 44 mg/kg body weight), which is metabolized in the liver to carcinogenic azoxymethane (AOM), followed by 7 days oral administration of 2 % dextrane sulfate sodium (DSS) in the drinking water. This regimen results in the emergence of dysplastic adenomas, which progress to differentiated adenocarcinomas that are morphologically similar to human colorectal adenocarcinomas and typically harbor -catenin stabilizing mutations of GSK3 phosphorylation sites. Accordingly, these tumors present hallmarks of active Wnt signaling such as accumulation of nuclear -catenin and expression of Wnt target genes.
