Affymetrix Human Genome U133A Array (hgu133a), Affymetrix Human Genome U133B Array (hgu133b)
Description
The simultaneous genotyping of tens of thousands of SNP using SNP microarrays is a very important tool that is revolutionizing genetics and molecular biology. In this work, we present a new application of this technique by using it to assess chromatin immunoprecipitation (CHIP) as a means to assess the multiple genomic locations bound by a protein complex recognized by an antibody. We illustrate the use of this technique with an analysis of the change in histone H4 acetylation, a marker of open chromatin and transcriptionally active genomic regions, which occur during the differentiation of human myoblasts into myotubes. Our results are validated by the observation of a significant correlation between the histone modifications detected and the expression of the nearby genes, as measured by DNA microarrays.

- Affymetrix Human Genome U133A Array (hgu133a)
Description
The pigmented portion of ciliary epithelium in the adult mammalian eye harbors mitotically quiescent retinal sphere cells, which are capable of self-renewal and differentiating into retinal neurons when assayed in vitro; however, very little is known about the molecular mechanism controlling the proliferation and differentiation of these adult retinal stem cells or their molecular resemblance to mutipotent stem/progenitor cells during early eye development. This experiment studies the gene expression of first passage and primary human and mouse retinal sphere cells.

Description
Medulloblastoma (MB) is the most common malignant primary pediatric brain cancer. Among the most aggressive subtypes, Group 3 and Group 4 originate from stem/progenitor cells, frequently metastasize, and often display the worst prognosis, yet, as the names imply, we know the least about the molecular mechanisms driving their progression. Here, we show that the transcription factor orthodenticle homeobox 2 (OTX2) promotes self-renewal while inhibiting differentiation in vitro and increases tumor-initiating capacity from MB stem cell populations in vivo. Characterization of the OTX2 regulatory network revealed a novel relationship between OTX2 and genes associated with multiple axon guidance signaling pathways in Group 3 and Group 4 MB stem/progenitor cells. In particular, OTX2 levels were negatively correlated with semaphorin (SEMA) signaling, as expression of 9 SEMA pathway genes is upregulated following OTX2 knockdown with some being potential direct OTX2 targets. Importantly, this negative correlation between OTX2 and SEMA pathway genes was also observed in patient samples, with lower expression of SEMA4D associated with poor outcome in Group 3 and 4 tumors. Functional studies using established and newly derived MB cell lines demonstrated that increased levels of SEMA pathway genes are associated with decreased self-renewal and growth, and that RHO signaling, known to mediate the effects of SEMA genes, is contributing to the OTX2 KD phenotype. Our study provides critical mechanistic insight into the networks controlled by OTX2 in self-renewing MB cells and reveals novel roles for axon guidance genes and their downstream effectors as putative tumor suppressors and therapeutic targets in Group 3 and Group 4 MB.
