Description
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is generally a late onset neurodegenerative disease. Mutations in the Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) gene accounts for approximately 20% of familial ALS and 2% of all ALS cases. Although a number of hypothesis have been proposed to explain mutant SOD1 toxicity, the molecular mechanisms of the disease remain unclear. SOD1 linked ALS is thought to function in a non-cell autonomous manner such that the motoneurons are critical for the onset and glia contribute to the progress of the disease. To dissect the roles of motoneurons and glia, we used the Gal4-UAS system to determine gene expression changes following the expression of mutant human SOD1 (G85R) selectively in either motoneurons or glia, and concurrently in motoneurons and glia of flies. We conducted a microarray on young (5 days old) and old (45 days old) flies expressing G85R in these cell types and identified a number of genes involved in a variety of processes. The candidate genes identified by this screen may help elucidate the individual and combined contributions of motoneurons and glial cells in ALS.

Description
Sperm cells represent the male partner that fuses with the egg cell during fertilization in all multi-cellular eukaryotic organisms, and, in flowering plants, is a founder of both embryo and nutritive endosperm. We examined the transcriptome of Oryza sativa ssp. japonica using the Affymetrix 57K rice genome GeneChip to provide an overview of genes activated in the paternal gamete.

Description
The lung is the entry site for Bacillus anthracis in inhalation anthrax, the most deadly form of the disease. Spores must escape through the alveolar epithelial cell (AEC) barrier and migrate to regional lymph nodes, germinate and enter the circulatory system to cause disease. Several mechanisms to explain alveolar escape have been postulated, and all these tacitly involve the AEC barrier. In this study, we incorporate our primary human type I AEC model, microarray gene profiling and gene enrichment analysis to study the response of AEC to B. anthracis, (Sterne) spores at 4 and 24 hours post-exposure. Spore exposure altered gene expression in AEC after 4 and 24 hours and differentially expressed genes (1.3 fold, p 0.05) included CCL4/MIP-1 (4 hours), CXCL8/IL-8 (4 and 24 hours) and CXCL5/ENA-78 (24 hours). Gene enrichment analysis revealed that pathways involving cytokine or chemokine activity, receptor binding, and innate immune responses to infection were prominent. Microarray results were confirmed by qRT-PCR and multiplex ELISA assays. Chemotaxis assays demonstrated that spores induced the release of biologically active neutrophil and monocyte chemokines, and that CXCL8/IL-8 was the major neutrophil chemokine. The small or sub-chemotactic doses of CXCL5/ENA-78, CXCL3/GRO and CCL20/MIP-3 may contribute to chemotaxis by priming effects. These data provide the first whole transcriptomic description of the human type I AEC initial response to B. anthracis spore exposure, and contribute to an increased understanding of the role of AEC in the pathogenesis of inhalational anthrax.

Description
The respiratory system is a complex network of many cell types, including subsets of macrophages and dendritic cels, that work together to maintain steady-state respiration. Due to limitations in acquiring cells from healthy human lung, these subsets remain poorly characterized transcriptionally and phenotypically. We set out to systemically identify these subsets in human airways, by developing a schema of isolating large numbers of cells by whole lung bronchoalveolar lavage. Six subsets of phagocytic antigen presenting cells were consistently observed, which varied in their ability to internalize bacterial particles. Subsets could be further separated by their inherent capacities to upregulate CD83, CD86, and CCR7. Whole genome transcriptional profiling revealed a clade of true dendritic cells distinct from a macrophage/monocyte clade. Each clade, and each member of both clades, could be discerned by specific genes of increased expression, which would serve as markers for future studies in healthy and diseased states.

Description
The overall goal of this project is to investigate the role of TGF-beta signaling in epithelial cells as it pertains to the orientation of muscle fibers in the soft palate during embryogenesis. Here, we first conducted gene expression profiling of the anterior and posterior portions of the palate from wild-type mice. In addition, we also conducted gene expression profiling of the posterior palate in mutant mice with an epithelium-specific conditional inactivation of the Tgfbr2 gene. The latter mice provide a model of submucosal cleft palate, which is a congenital birth defect commonly observed in many syndromic conditions.

The overall goal of this project is to investigate the role of Erk2-mediated signaling in regulating the cellular metabolism of cranial neural crest (CNC) cells during palate development. Here, we conducted gene expression profiling of palate tissue from wild type mice as well as those with a neural crest specific conditional inactivation of the Erk2 gene. The latter mice exhibit micrognathia, tongue defects and cleft palate, which is among the most common congenital birth defects and observed in many syndromic conditions.

Description
YAMC murine colonic epithelial cells were repeatitively treated with commensal bacteria-polarized macrophages or 4-HNE. Following 10 treatments, 25 clones were selected to engraft immunodeficient mice, and 10 out of 25 clones grew tumors in these mice. To explore gene expression associated with cellular transformation, whole-genome profiling was performed on 10 transformed clones and compared with untreated YAMC controls using Illumina Mouse WG-6 v2.0 Expression BeadChip.
