This paper compares the gene expression profiles identified by short (Affymetrix U95AV2) or long (Agilent Hu1A) oligonucleotide arrays on a model for upregulation of a cluster of antioxidant responsive element-driven genes by treatment with tert-butylhydroquinone. MAS 5.0, dCHIP, and RMA were applied to normalize the Affymetrix data, and Lowess regression was considered for Agilent data. SAM was used to identify the differential gene expression. A set of biological markers and housekeeping genes were chosen to evaluate the performance of multiple normalization approaches. Both arrays illustrated a definite set of overlapping genes between the data sets regardless of data mining tools used. However, unique gene expression profiles based on the platform used were also revealed and confirmed by quantitative RT-PCR. Further analysis of the data revealed by alternative approaches suggested that alternative splicing, multiple vs. single probe(s) measurement, and use or nonuse of mismatch probes may account for the discrepant data. Therefore, these two microarray technologies offer relatively reliable data. Integration of the gene expression profiles from different array platforms may not only help for cross-validation but also provide a more complete view of the transcriptional scenario.

The Difference

Abstract The amount of intramuscular fat directly influences the meat quality. However, significant differences in the ability to accumulate intramuscular fat are present among different beef cattle breeds. While Wagyu, a cattle breed that originated from Japan, is renowned for abundant intramuscular fat, Brahman cattle generally have very little intramuscular fat accumulation and produce tougher meat. We identified that bovine intramuscular fat is derived from a group of bipotent progenitor cells named fibro/adipogenic progenitors (FAPs) which also give rise to fibroblasts. Thus, the variation in intramuscular fat development between Wagyu and Brahman is likely attributed to the difference in FAPs between these two breeds. In order to understand the gene expression difference between FAPs of the two breeds, single-cell RNA-seq was performed using total single-nucleated cells isolated from the longissimus muscle of young purebred Wagyu, purebred Brahman, and Wagyu-Brahman cross cattle. FAPs constitute the largest single-nucleated cell population in both Wagyu and Brahman skeletal muscle. Multiple subpopulations of FAPs with different gene expression profiles were identified, suggesting that FAP is a heterogeneous population. A unique FAP cluster expressing lower levels of fibrillar collagen and extracellular remodeling enzyme genes but higher levels of select proadipogenic genes was identified exclusively in Wagyu skeletal muscle, which likely contributes to the robust intramuscular adipogenic efficiency of Wagyu FAPs. In conclusion, the difference in the cellular composition and gene expression of FAPs between Wagyu and Brahman cattle likely contribute to their distinct meat quality.

Nearest Neighbor Classifiers

Various discriminant methods have been applied for classification of tumors based on gene expression profiles, among which the nearest neighbor (NN) method has been reported to perform relatively well. Usually cross-validation (CV) is used to select the neighbor size as well as the number of variables for the NN method. However, CV can perform poorly when there is considerable uncertainty in choosing the best candidate classifier. As an alternative to selecting a single “winner," we propose a weighting method to combine the multiple NN rules. Four gene expression data sets are used to compare its performance with CV methods. The results show that when the CV selection is unstable, the combined classifier performs much better.

The comparison of high throughput gene expression datasets obtained from different experimental conditions is a challenging task. It provides an opportunity to explore the cellular response to various biological events such as disease, environmental conditions, and drugs. There is a need for tools that allow the integration and analysis of such data. We developed the “RankerGUI pipeline”, a user-friendly web application for the biological community. It allows users to use various rank based statistical approaches for the comparison of full differential gene expression profiles between the same or different biological states obtained from different sources. The pipeline modules are an integration of various open-source packages, a few of which are modified for extended functionality. The main modules include rank rank hypergeometric overlap, enriched rank rank hypergeometric overlap and distance calculations. Additionally, preprocessing steps such as merging differential expression profiles of multiple independent studies can be added before running the main modules. Output plots show the strength, pattern, and trends among complete differential expression profiles. In this paper, we describe the various modules and functionalities of the developed pipeline. We also present a case study that demonstrates how the pipeline can be used for the comparison of differential expression profiles obtained from multiple platforms’ data of the Gene Expression Omnibus. Using these comparisons, we investigate gene expression patterns in kidney and lung cancers.

Cellular Processes

Droplet digital PCR is the most robust method for absolute nucleic acid quantification. However, RNA is a very versatile molecule and its abundance is tissue-dependent. RNA quantification is dependent on a reference control to estimate the abundance. Additionally, in cancer, many cellular processes are deregulated which consequently affects the gene expression profiles. In this work, we performed microarray data mining of different childhood cancers and healthy controls. We selected four genes that showed no gene expression variations (PSMB6, PGGT1B, UBQLN2 and UQCR2) and four classical reference genes (ACTB, GAPDH, RPL4 and RPS18). Gene expression was validated in 40 acute lymphoblastic leukemia samples by means of droplet digital PCR. We observed that PSMB6, PGGT1B, UBQLN2 and UQCR2 were expressed ~100 times less than ACTB, GAPDH, RPL4 and RPS18. However, we observed excellent correlations among the new reference genes (p < 0.0001). We propose that PSMB6, PGGT1B, UBQLN2 and UQCR2 are housekeeping genes with low expression in childhood cancer.
