Abstract
DNA microarrays can be used to identify gene expression changes characteristic of human disease. This is challenging, however, when relevant differences are subtle at the level of individual genes. We introduce an analytical strategy, Gene Set Enrichment Analysis, designed to detect modest but coordinate changes in the expression of groups of functionally related genes. Using this approach, we identify a set of genes involved in oxidative phosphorylation whose expression is coordinately decreased in human diabetic muscle. Expression of these genes is high at sites of insulin-mediated glucose disposal, activated by PGC-1α and correlated with total-body aerobic capacity. Our results associate this gene set with clinically important variation in human metabolism and illustrate the value of pathway relationships in the analysis of genomic profiling experiments.

Calculating the statistical significance of changes in pathway activity from gene expression data.

TL;DR: It turns out that useful measures for co-regulation of genes in a pathway can be identified adaptively and the sensitivity of detecting relevant pathways is improved by integrating information about pathway topology.

Diminished Superoxide Generation is Associated with Respiratory Chain Dysfunction and Changes in the Mitochondrial Proteome of Sensory Neurons from Diabetic Rats

TL;DR: Abnormal mitochondrial function correlated with a downregulation of mitochondrial proteins, with components of the respiratory chain targeted in lumbar DRG in diabetes and alternative pathways involving polyol pathway activity appear to contribute to raised ROS in axons of diabetic neurons under high glucose concentration.

A multivariate approach for integrating genome-wide expression data and biological knowledge

TL;DR: A simple yet effective multivariate statistical procedure for assessing the correlation between a subspace defined by a group of genes and a binary phenotype and is used to search through functional pathway subspaces defined by Reactome, KEGG, BioCarta and Gene Ontology.

Cellular senescence induced by CD158d reprograms natural killer cells to promote vascular remodeling

TL;DR: It is shown here that CD158d agonists trigger a DNA damage response signaling pathway involving cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p21 expression and heterochromatin protein HP1-γ phosphorylation that induces morphological changes in NK cell shape and size and survival in the absence of cell-cycle entry.

Redox Regulation of Mitochondrial Biogenesis

TL;DR: The redox-regulated mechanisms of mitochondrial biogenesis schematically outlined in the graphical abstract link mitochondrial quality control to an enhanced capacity to support the cell's metabolic needs while improving its resistance to metabolic failure and avoidance of cell death during periods of oxidative stress.

Cluster analysis and display of genome-wide expression patterns

TL;DR: A system of cluster analysis for genome-wide expression data from DNA microarray hybridization is described that uses standard statistical algorithms to arrange genes according to similarity in pattern of gene expression, finding in the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae that clustering gene expression data groups together efficiently genes of known similar function.

Molecular classification of cancer: class discovery and class prediction by gene expression monitoring.

TL;DR: A generic approach to cancer classification based on gene expression monitoring by DNA microarrays is described and applied to human acute leukemias as a test case and suggests a general strategy for discovering and predicting cancer classes for other types of cancer, independent of previous biological knowledge.

Significance analysis of microarrays applied to the ionizing radiation response

TL;DR: A method that assigns a score to each gene on the basis of change in gene expression relative to the standard deviation of repeated measurements is described, suggesting that this repair pathway for UV-damaged DNA might play a previously unrecognized role in repairing DNA damaged by ionizing radiation.

A direct approach to false discovery rates

TL;DR: The calculation of the q‐value is discussed, the pFDR analogue of the p‐value, which eliminates the need to set the error rate beforehand as is traditionally done, and can yield an increase of over eight times in power compared with the Benjamini–Hochberg FDR method.

Mechanisms Controlling Mitochondrial Biogenesis and Respiration through the Thermogenic Coactivator PGC-1

TL;DR: PGC-1, a cold-inducible coactivator of nuclear receptors, stimulates mitochondrial biogenesis and respiration in muscle cells through an induction of uncoupling protein 2 (UCP-2) and through regulation of the nuclear respiratory factors (NRFs).
