Description
Increasing the understanding of the impact of changes in oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes is essential for improving the management of lung cancer. Recently, we identified a new mouse lung-specific tumor suppressor - the G-protein coupled receptor 5A (Gprc5a). We sought to understand the molecular consequences of Gprc5a loss and towards this we performed microarray analysis of the transcriptomes of lung epithelial cells cultured from normal tracheas of Gprc5a knockout and wild-type mice to define a loss-of-Gprc5a gene signature. Moreover, we analyzed differential gene expression patterns between Gprc5a knockout normal lung epithelial cells as well as lung adenocarcinoma cells isolated and cultured from tumors of NNK-exposed Gprc5a knockout mice.
Publication Title
A Gprc5a tumor suppressor loss of expression signature is conserved, prevalent, and associated with survival in human lung adenocarcinomas.

Description
Intestinal epithelial cells express the lipopolysaccharide (LPS) receptor Toll-like receptor (TLR4) and are responsive to LPS stimulation. Following LPS exposure, epithelial cells, similar to myeloid cells such as macrophages, acquire a state of tolerance. Innate immune tolerance is characterized by a lack of expression of proinflammatory genes in response to repeated stimulation. Tolerant epithelial cells, however, exhibit sustained expression of a distinct set of genes encoding for proteins involved in metabolism and homeostasis. This study comparatively analyzes the gene expression profile 6 hours after LPS stimulation (acute response) versus 6 hours LPS followed by 90 hours incubation in the absence of LPS (tolerant response).

Description
Human and mouse blood each contain two monocyte subsets. Here, we investigated the extent of their similarity using a microarray approach. Approximately 300 genes in human and 550 genes in mouse were differentially expressed between subsets. More than 130 of these gene expression differences were conserved between mouse and human monocyte subsets. We confirmed numerous differences at the cell surface protein level. Despite overall conservation, some molecules were conversely expressed between the two species subsets, including CD36, CD9, and TREM-1. Furthermore, other differences existed, including a prominent PPAR signature in mouse monocytes absent in human. Overall, human and mouse monocyte subsets are far more broadly conserved than currently recognized. Thus, studies in mice may indeed yield relevant information regarding the biology of human monocyte subsets. However, differences between the species deserve consideration in models of human disease studied in the mouse.
