Description
The role of estrogen and testosterone in the regulation of gene expression in the proximal reproductive tract is not completely understood. To address this question, mice were treated with testosterone or estradiol and RNA from the efferent ducts and caput epididymis was processed and hybridized to Affymetrix MOE 430 2.0 microarrays. Analysis of array output identified probe sets in each tissue with altered levels in hormone treated versus control animals. Hormone treatment efficacy was confirmed by determination of serum hormone levels pre- and post-treatment and observed changes in transcript levels of previously reported hormone-responsive genes. Tissue-specific hormone sensitivity was observed with 2867 and 3197 probe sets changing significantly in the efferent ducts after estrogen and testosterone treatment, respectively. In the caput epididymis, 117 and 268 probe sets changed after estrogen and testosterone treatment, respectively, demonstrating a greater response to hormone in the efferent ducts than the caput epididymis. Transcripts sharing similar profiles in the intact and hormone-treated animals compared with castrated controls were also identified. Ontological analysis of probe sets revealed a significant number of hormone-regulated transcripts encode proteins associated with lipid metabolism, transcription and steroid metabolism in both tissues. Real-time RT-PCR was employed to confirm array data and investigate other potential hormone-responsive regulators of proximal reproductive tract function. The results of this work reveal previously unknown responses to estrogen in the caput epididymis and to testosterone in the efferent ducts as well as tissue specific hormone sensitivity in the proximal reproductive tract.

Description
Ikaros family DNA binding proteins are critical regulators of B cell development. To identify Ikaros-regulated genes in pre-B cells we performed gene expression studies at enhanced temporal resolution.

Description
Transcriptional profiles of Fz4-/- retinal endothelial cells were compared to that of wild type endothelial cells under various culture conditions. The goal was to identify the transcriptional response to Frizzled 4 signaling in cultured retinal endothelial cells. To analyze the Norrin response of WT and Fz4-/- retinal endothelial cells in culture, we co-cultured these cells either with HEK293 cell line that stably expresses Norrin or with control 293 cells.

Description
To characterize the long-term effect on the transcriptome of a decrement in Norrin/Fz4/Lrp signaling, microarray hybridization was performed with RNA from acutely dissociated and anti-PECAM immunoaffinity-purified adult WT, Fz4-/-, Lrp5-/-, and Norrin- retinal vascular cells.
