Abstract
Enterovirus 71 (EV71) is one of the main etiological agents for Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease (HFMD). Types I, II and III interferon may be a key antiviral response against EV71. We examine the transcriptomic changes in human colorectal cells during EV71 infection. The intestinal epithelial immune system plays a key role in the progression of HFMD.
Enterovirus 71 (EV71) is one of the main etiological agents for Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease (HFMD) and has been shown to be associated with severe clinical manifestation. Currently, there is no antiviral therapeutic for the treatment of HFMD patients owing to a lack of understanding of EV71 pathogenesis. This study seeks to elucidate the transcriptomic changes that result from EV71 infection. Human whole genome microarray was employed to monitor changes in genomic profiles between infected and uninfected cells. The results reveal altered expression of human genes involved in critical pathways including the immune response and the stress response. Together, data from this study provide valuable insights into the host–pathogen interaction between human colorectal cells and EV71.

Abstract
The testis is the male gonad responsible for spermatogenesis and steroidogenesis. Much remains to be known about the control of these events. In this study, we performed a new bioinformatic enrichment analysis of human testicular proteins selected from a protein database. Integrated function and pathway analyses were performed by Database for Annotation, Visualization and Integrated Discovery and Ingenuity Pathway Analysis programmes, and significant features were found to be clustered. Protein membrane organization and gene density on chromosomes were analyzed and discussed. The analysis could provide a basis for the understanding of testicular physiology and function, and facilitating biological interpretation of testicular functions in a network context.

Abstract
The testis is the special male gonad responsible for spermatogenesis and steroidogenesis with complex gene expressions. Characterizing and comparing the testis-specific genes in different species can reveal key genes related to testis specific functions and provide supplementary information for study of human testis function. We screened testis-specific genes from Unigene libraries, total 317, 449 and 147 testis-specific genes were identified for human, mouse and rat, respectively. Ten from thirteen selected human testis-specific genes were validated exclusively expressed in the testis by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Systematic bioinformatics analysis showed that specific genes were mainly related to spermatogenesis and testis development process with significant Glycolysis and Pyruvate metabolism. Enrichment functions were discussed.
