View SamplesIn this study, we identify SYDE1 as a novel GCM1 target gene. We demonstrate that SYDE1 promotes placental cell migration and invasion and that the GCM1-SYDE1 axis is crucial for placental development. Importantly, retarded placental and fetal growth with defective spongiotrophoblast layer, compromised vasculogenesis, and abnormal maternal-trophoblast interface are noted in the Syde1 homozygous knockout (KO) placenta. Along this line, decreased SYDE1 expression is observed in human IUGR placentas. We further demonstrated that components of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) and Syde2 are differentially expressed in Syde1-KO placenta, which might contribute to normal neonatal delivery in Syde1-KO mothers

View SamplesPneumocystis pneumonia (PCP) is an opportunistic infectious disease prevalent in immunosuppressive host. Corticosteroids treatment is the most significant risk factor for HIV-negative patients with PCP, though little is known about how corticosteroids alters the host defense against Pneumocystis infection.

View SamplesCultured cancer cells exhibit substantial phenotypic heterogeneity when measured in a variety of ways such as sensitivity to drugs or the capacity to grow under various conditions. Among these, the ability to exhibit anchorage-independent cell growth (colony forming capacity in semisolid media) has been considered to be fundamental in cancer biology because it has been connected with tumor cell aggressiveness in vivo such as tumorigenic and metastatic potentials, and also utilized as a marker for in vitro transformation. Although multiple genetic factors for anchorage-independence have been identified, the molecular basis for this capacity is still largely unknown. To investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying anchorage-independent cell growth, we have used genome-wide DNA microarray studies to develop an expression signature associated with this phenotype. Using this signature, we identify a program of activated mitochondrial biogenesis associated with the phenotype of anchorage-independent growth and importantly, we demonstrate that this phenotype predicts potential for metastasis in primary breast and lung tumors.

View SamplesIn this study, we have explored microarray-based differential gene expression profile in mouse lung tissue 8 h after inducing polymicrobial sepsis and the effect of preprotachykinin-A (PPTA) gene deletion. A range of genes differentially expressed (> 2-fold) in microarray analysis was assessed, PPTA-knockout septic mice with their respective sham controls.
