Description
Two subtypes of the estrogen receptor, ERalpha and ERbeta, mediate the actions of estrogens, and the majority of human breast tumors contain both ERalpha and ERbeta. To examine the possible interactions and modulatory effects of ERbeta on ERalpha activity, we have used adenoviral gene delivery to produce human breast cancer (MCF-7) cells expressing ERbeta, along with their endogenous ERalpha. We have examined the effects of ER expression on genome-wide gene expression by Affymetrix GeneChip microarrays. We find that ERbeta modulated estrogen gene expression on nearly 24% of E2-stimulated genes but only 8% of E2-inhibited genes. We find that ERbeta modulation is gene-specific, enhancing or counteracting ERalpha regulation for distinct subsets of estrogen target genes. Introduction of ERbeta into ERalpha-containing cells induced up/down-regulation of many estrogen target in the absence of any added ligand. In addition, ERbeta presence elicited the expression of a unique set of genes that were not regulated by ERalpha alone. ERbeta modulated the expression of genes in many functional categories, but the greatest numbers were associated with transcription factor and signal transduction pathways. Regulation of multiple components in the TGF beta, SDF1, and semaphorin pathways, may contribute to the suppression of proliferation observed with ERbeta both in the presence and absence of estrogen. Hence, ERbeta modulates ERalpha gene regulation in diverse ways that may contribute to its growth-inhibiting beneficial effects in breast cancer

Description
CD20 is a clinically validated target for Non-Hodgkins lymphomas and autoimmune diseases. Interactions of CD20 with the B cell receptor (BCR) and components of the BCR signaling cascade have been reported. In this study we show that antibodies against CD20 or activation of the BCR by specific antibodies induce very similar expression patterns of up- or down-regulated genes in NHL cell lines indicating that CD20 may play a role in BCR signaling and vice versa.

Description
We investigated the differential regulation patterns of type I anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody (mAb) rituximab and type II obinutuzumab on a transcriptional level. Using a panel of MCL cell lines, we determined the effects of obinutuzumab and rituximab as monotherapies as well as in combination on cell viability and proliferation.

Description
A novel model of drug-resistant epilepsy based on the selection of mice treated with phenytoin (PHT) in the 6 Hz seizure model was developed. It leads to the identification of subpopulations of drug-responder and non-responder mice. Transcriptional characterization of the hippocampi from these 2 sub-populations was performed and compared. No significant difference has been observed between the 2 sample groups.

Description
It is well-known that indomethacin (the cyclooxygenase 1 & 2 inhibitor) and RU486 (or mifepristone, the progesterone receptor antagonist) block follicular rupture in rats. To characterize genetic alterations in unruptured follicles, gene expression profiles in ovarian follicle were analyzed in indomethacin- and RU486-treated female Sprague-Dawley rats. Ovaries are collected at 22:00 on the proestrus day and 10:00 on the following estrus day after a single dose of indomethacin and RU486. Histopathologically, changes depicting responses to LH surge were observed in ovaries, uteri and vagina. Total RNA was extracted from pre-ovulatory follicles or unruptured follicles collected by laser microdissection and analyzed by GeneChip. Among genes showing statistically significant changes compared to control groups, following changes were considered relevant to induction of unruptured follicles. In indomethacin-treated rats, Wnt4 was down-regulated, suggesting effect on tissue integrity and steroid genesis. In RU486-treated rats, Adamts1, Adamts9, Edn2, Ednra, Lyve1, Plat, and Pparg were down-regulated. These changes suggest effects on proteolysis for extracellular matrix or surrounding tissue (Adamts1 & 9, and Plat), constriction of smooth muscle surrounding follicles (Edn2, Ednra, and Pparg), follicular fluid (Lyve1), and angiogenesis (Pparg). Down-regulation of angiogenesis related genes (Angpt2, Hmox1, and Vegfa) was observed in both treatment groups. Here, we clarify genetic alterations induced by the inhibition of cyclooxygenase or progesterone receptor.

Description
Background: Gliomas are the most common type of primary brain tumours, and in this group glioblastomas (GBMs) are the higher-grade gliomas with fast progression and unfortunate prognosis. Two major aspects of glioma biology that contributes to its awful prognosis are the formation of new blood vessels through the process of angiogenesis and the invasion of glioma cells. Despite of advances, two-year survival for GBM patients with optimal therapy is less than 30%. Even in those patients with low-grade gliomas, that imply a moderately good prognosis, treatment is almost never curative. Recent studies have demonstrated the existence of a small fraction of glioma cells with characteristics of neural stem cells which are able to grow in vitro forming neurospheres and that can be isolated in vivo using surface markers such as CD133. The aim of this study was to define the molecular signature of GBM cells expressing CD133 in comparison with non expressing CD133 cells. This molecular classification could lead to the finding of new potential therapeutic targets for the rationale treatment of high grade GBM.

Description
We have generated tumorigenic (S2N) and non-tumorigenic (S2), normal-like to basal-like breast cancer cell lines from primary tumors. At high in vivo inoculation cell numbers of 10^6 cells/mouse both S2N and S2 monolayer as well as sphere culture cells grew at similar rates. However, at low inoculation cell numbers down to 10^3 cells only S2N sphere cells generated xenograft tumors. mRNA profiling revealed a unique cluster pattern of the tumorigenic S2N sphere cells, but a detailed analysis of TIC relevant transcription factors like Oct3, Sox and Nanog family members, Myc, Slug or Twist1 revealed no consistently increased expression in the highly tumorigenic cell lines. Our data indicate that the intrinsic genetic and functional markers investigated are not solely indicative of the in vivo tumorigenicity of putative breast tumor-initiating cells.
