Affymetrix Rhesus Macaque Genome Array (rhesus)
Description
The progression to AIDS is influenced by changes in the biology of heterogeneous monocyte subsets. Classical (CD14++CD16-), intermediate (CD14++CD16+), and nonclassical (CD14+CD16++) monocytes may represent progressive stages of monocyte maturation or disparate myeloid lineages with different turnover rates and function. To investigate the relationship between monocyte subsets and the response to SIV infection, we performed microarray analysis of monocyte subsets in rhesus macaques at three timepoints: prior to SIV infection, 26 days post-infection, and necropsy with AIDS. Genes with a 2-fold change between monocyte subsets (2023 genes) or infection timepoints (424 genes) were selected. We identify 172 genes differentially expressed among monocyte subsets in both uninfected and SIV-infected animals. Classical monocytes express genes associated with inflammatory responses and cell proliferation. Nonclassical monocytes express genes associated with activation, immune effector functions, and cell cycle inhibition. The classical and intermediate subsets are most similar at all timepoints, and transcriptional similarity between intermediate and nonclassical monocytes increases with AIDS. Cytosolic sensors of nucleic acids, restriction factors, and interferon-stimulated genes are induced in all three subsets with AIDS. We conclude that SIV infection alters the transcriptional relationship between monocyte subsets and that the innate immune response to SIV infection is conserved across monocyte subsets.

Description
On the basis of the cell-surface molecule expression, CD16+ monocytes are likely comprised of distinct subpopulations of monocytes rather than a continuum of CD14+ monocytes with differing levels of cell activation. To better study this, we used gene array analysis that compared overall gene expression profiles of CD16+ subpopulations (CD14+CD16+ and CD16+) with that of CD14+CD16-. Gene expression in three FACS-sorted monocyte subsets was assessed by Affymetrix rhesus macaque oligonucleotide gene arrays that contain 52,024 probe sets covering 47,000 monkey genes. There were 29,361 probe sets that expressed in at least one subpopulation (raw array signal intensity > 32). Raw data were processed using robust multi-array average. To identify the most strongly, differentially expressed genes in each subpopulation, we only selected transcripts with consistently greater than four-fold difference (P < .05). In comparison to CD14+CD16- monocyte subset, a large number of genes (9098/29361, 30.9%) were differentially expressed in both CD14+CD16+ and CD16+ subsets: 1999 genes down-regulated; and 7099 genes up-regulated. Altogether, we observed large-scale gene expression differences between the CD14+CD16- subset and the two CD16+ subsets (CD14+CD16+ and CD16+), demonstrating transcriptional heterogeneity. The differential gene expression between CD16- and CD16+ monocytes underscore the fundamental differences between these cells.

Description
The process of metamorphosis relies on choreography of temporal and spatial cues that mediate, in which inappropriate activation of many of these genes results in growth defects, developmental delay and death. Using RNA interference, we have unraveled an essential role for the insect specific dopamine 1(D1)-like receptor Dop1R2 at the late larval/prepupal stage. We used microarrays to evaluate differentially expressed genes during the early/pale pupal stage and identified up-regulation of families of functionally related genes, including ecdysone induced genes, stress and defense/immune response genes, and those that underlie tissue morphogenesis.

Description
We previously derived and validated a bronchial epithelial gene expression biomarker to detect lung cancer in current and former smokers. Given that bronchial and nasal epithelium gene expression is similarly altered by cigarette smoke exposure, we sought to determine if cancer-associated gene expression might also be detectable in more readily accessible nasal epithelium. Nasal epithelial brushings were prospectively collected from current and former smokers with pulmonary lesions suspicious for lung cancer in the AEGIS-1 (n=375) and AEGIS-2 (n=130) clinical trials and gene expression profiled using microarrays. Using the 375 AEGIS 1 samples, we identified 535 genes that were differentially expressed in the nasal epithelium of patients who were ultimately diagnosed with lung cancer vs. those with benign disease after one year of follow-up (p<0.001). Using bronchial gene expression data from 299 AEGIS-1 patients (including 157 patients with matched nasal and bronchial expression data), we found significantly concordant cancer-associated gene expression differences between the two airway sites (p<0.001). Differentially expressed genes were enriched for genes associated with the regulation of apoptosis, mitotic cell cycle, and immune system signaling. A nasal lung cancer classifier derived in the AEGIS-1 cohort that combined clinical factors and nasal gene expression had significantly higher AUC (0.80) and sensitivity (0.94) over a clinical-factor only model (p<0.05) in independent samples from the AEGIS-2 cohort (n=130). These results suggest that the airway epithelial field of lung cancer-associated injury in current and former smokers extends to the nose and demonstrates the potential of using nasal gene expression as a non-invasive biomarker for the detection of lung cancer.

Description
Phosphate is essential for healthy bone growth and plays an essential role in fracture repair. Although phosphate deficiency has been shown to impair fracture healing, the mechanisms involved in impaired healing are unknown. More recently, studies have shown that the effect of phosphate deficiency on the repair process varied based on the genetic strain of mice, which is not characterized.

Description
The five DLBCL cell lines were treated with R406 to assess the signature of SYK inhibition. In previous studies, R406 decreased the proliferation and induced apoptosis of these surface Ig+ cell lines. In the previous studies, R406 inhibited the autophosphorylation of SYK 525/526 and SYK-dependent phosphorylation of BCR signaling components such as BLNK.

Description
Cytologically normal airway epithelial samples were collected during bronchoscopy of current and former smokers. Subjects enrolled in this study were either under suspicion of having lung cancer, had dysplasia in their airway, or were a healthy current, former or never smoker. We supplemented existing GEO series (GSE4115 and GSE7895) with the samples in this study to explore PI3K pathway activity in the these cohorts.

Description
Background: Cancer cachexia is a life-threatening metabolic syndrome that causes significant loss of skeletal muscle mass and significantly increases mortality in cancer patients. Currently, there is an urgent need for better understanding of the molecular pathophysiology of this disease, so that effective therapies can be developed. Almost all pre-clinical studies evaluating skeletal muscle’s response to cancer have focused on one or two pre-clinical models, and almost all have focused specifically on limb muscles. In the current study, we reveal key differences in the histology and transcriptomic signatures of a limb muscle and a respiratory muscle in orthotopic pancreatic cancer patient-derived xenograft (PDX) mice. Methods: To create the four cohorts of PDX mice evaluated in this study, tumors resected from four pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) patients were portioned and attached to the pancreas of immunodeficient NSG mice. Results: Body weight, muscle mass, and fat mass were significantly decreased in each PDX line. Histological assessment of cryosections taken from the tibialis anterior (TA) and diaphragm (DIA) revealed differential effects of tumor-burden on their morphology. Subsequent genome-wide microarray analysis on TA and DIA revealed key differences between their transcriptomes in response to cancer as well. Indeed, upregulated genes in the diaphragm were enriched for extracellular matrix (ECM) protein-encoding genes and genes related to the inflammatory response, and downregulated genes were enriched for mitochondria related protein-encoding genes. Conversely, the TA showed upregulation of canonical atrophy-associated pathways such as ubiquitin-mediated protein degradation and apoptosis and enrichment of downregulated genes encoding ECM proteins. Conclusions: These data suggest that distinct biological processes account for wasting in different skeletal muscles in response to the same tumor burden. Further investigation into these differences will be critical for the future development of effective clinical strategies to counter cancer cachexia.
