Project description:Compared to what is known in model species, reproductive biology in citrus is still poorly understood. Although in recent years several efforts have been made to study pollen-pistil interaction and self-incompatibility, little information is available about the molecular mechanisms regulating these processes. We performed microarray analysis for the identification of candidate genes involved in pollen-pistil interaction and self-incompatibility in clementine (Citrus clementina Hort. ex Tan.). The analysis was performed comparing the transcriptome of laser-microdissected stylar canal cells isolated from two clementine genotypes differing for self-incompatibility response (‘Comune’, self-incompatible; and ‘Monreal’, a self compatible mutation of ‘Comune’). Styles with stigmas, collected 24 hours after self pollination, were immediately snap-frozen in OCT embedding medium (Sakura Finetek, Zoeterwoude, Netherlands) in Peel-A-Way plastic embedding molds (Polysciences, Polysciences, Warrington, PA, USA). Transversal sections 10 µm thick at the upper part of the style were cut with a Leica CM1900 cryostat (Leica Microsystems, Germany) at -20°C. A Leica AS Laser Microdissection system (Leica Microsystems) was used for the isolation of stylar canals from transversal sections. Canals from the stigma were discarded to avoid contamination with pollen or pollen tubes. Three biological replicates were prepared for each genotype. Each biological replicate consisted of bulks of about 200 microdissected areas (composed of an average of 50 cells) coming from two different molds

Project description:BACKGROUND: Young age at portoenterostomy has been linked to improved outcome in biliary atresia, but pre-existing biological factors may influence the rate of disease progression. In this study, we aimed to determine whether molecular profiling of the liver identifies stages of disease at diagnosis. METHODS: We examined liver biopsies from 47 infants with biliary atresia enrolled in a prospective observational study. Biopsies were scored for inflammation and fibrosis, used for gene expression profiles, and tested for association with indicators of disease severity, response to surgery, and survival at 2 years. RESULTS: Fourteen of 47 livers displayed prominent features of inflammation (N=9) or fibrosis (N=5), with the remainder showing similar levels of both simultaneously. Differential profiling of gene expression of the 14 livers displayed a unique molecular signature containing 150 gene probes. Applying prediction analysis models, the probes classified 29 of the remaining 33 livers into inflammation or fibrosis. Molecular classification into the two groups was validated by the findings of increased hepatic population of lymphocyte subsets or tissue accumulation of matrix substrates. The groups had no association with traditional markers of liver injury or function, response to surgery, or complications of cirrhosis. However, infants with an inflammation signature were younger, while those with a fibrosis signature had decreased transplant-free survival. CONCLUSION: Molecular profiling at diagnosis of biliary atresia uncovers a signature of inflammation or fibrosis in most livers. This signature may relate to staging of disease at diagnosis and has implications to clinical outcomes. Clinical and laboratory data and liver biopies were obtained from 47 infants at diagnosis of biliary atresia and every 3-6 month intervals until 2 years of age as part of a prospective, observational study of the Biliary Atresia Research Consortium. Liver biopsies underwent histological scoring and those specimens classified as inflammation or fibrosis were used to generate a group-specific gene expression profile. The profile was used to assign a molecular stages of inflammation or fibrosis to the entire cohort. Molecular groups were tested for biological plausibility using immunostaining to quantify hepatic inflammatory cells, and quantitative PCR to reproduce the expression of gene groups and the expression of collagen genes. They were also tested for clinical relevance by testing of association with indicators of liver function, complications of disease, and clinical outcome. This dataset is part of the TransQST collection.

Project description:Background. Oral carcinogenesis is a complex process involving multiple genes. However, the genetic changes involved in this process are not demonstrated in the identical oral squamous carcinomas (OSCCs). Methods. According to the pathological characteristics, parts of normal tissues, oral dysplastic lesions (ODLs), and invasive cancers were procured from the identical OSCCs using laser microdissection (LMD), and large scale gene expression profiling was carried out on 33 samples derived from 11 OSCCs. Results. We analyzed genes differentially expressed in normal tissues vs. ODLs and ODLs vs. invasive tumors and identified the 15 candidate genes that continuously increasing or decreasing in its expression during oral carcinogenesis. One of these, ISG15 was chosen for further characterization. Real-time quantitative reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction and immunohistochmistry analysis confirmed that ISG15 expression was consistently increasing during oral tumorigenesis. ISG15 high expression was significantly associated with poor prognosis (P=0.027). In addition, patients whose tumor had high ISG15 expression had worse 5-year survival rate than patients whose tumors had a low expression level (P=0.019). Conclusions. We identified the 15 genes that are continuously increasing or decreasing in its expression during oral carcinogenesis. One of these, ISG15 is likely to be associated with both dysgenesis and tumorigenesis, and may be a potential prognostic marker in these malignancies. Microarray samples of invasive tumor, adjacent dysplastic lesions and noncancerous normal tissues were collected from 11 patients with primary OSCCs. We analyzed genes differentially expressed in (i) normal vs. dysplastic tissues and (ii) dysplastic vs. tumor tissues.

Project description:E11.5 metanephric mesenchyme and ureteric bud were dissected from the E11.5 kidney rudiment using fine manual microdissection (ureteric bud only) or both fine manual microdissection and laser capture microdissection (metanephric mesenchyme) to define the gene expression profiles of these structures. Additionally, HoxA11, HoxD11 compound null E11.5 metanephric mesenchyme was obtained through laser capture microdissection allowing analysis of possible Hox targets in kidney development. Targets from multiple biological replicates of each were generated and the expression profiles were determined using Affymetrix MOE430_v2 arrays. Using microdissection techniques, ureteric bud and metanephric mesenchyme were dissected from E11.5 kidney rudiments allowing the identificated genes specifically regulated in either structure. In addition, Hoxa11, Hoxd11 compound null E11.5 metanephric mesenchyme were normalized to wild type embryonic controls allowing the identification of potential Hox targets in normal kidney development. Each structure/genotype were represented in biological (seperate embryo) replicate.

Project description:The goal of the study was to characterize the whole genome transcriptome profiles of human ameloblasts and odontoblasts, evaluate molecular pathways and advance our knowledge of the human tooth development. We found that during primary tooth formation, odontoblasts expressed 14,802 genes, presecretory ameloblasts 15,179 genes and secretory ameloblasts 14,526 genes. Four human fetuses were obtained at ages 15-20 weeks gestation, immediately placed on ice and the tooth buds dissected from the jaws, placed in RNAlater and refrigerated at 4C for 1-4 weeks to allow decalcification by EDTA. The tissue was then frozen and stored at -80C. The tissue was sectioned at -35C at a thickness of 7 microns. These sections were used for laser capture microdissection (LCM) to isolate the human odontoblasts and ameloblasts in different stages of enamel formation, using static image settings. In total, 4 odontoblast, 4 pre-secretory ameloblast and 4 secretory ameloblast pooled samples were used for RNA extraction and microarray analysis.

Project description:The goal of the study was to characterize the whole genome transcriptome profiles of pure sample population of human ameloblastoma epithelial cells for examination of molecular pathways. Seventeen human ameloblastoma samples were obtained. Both fresh frozen and FFPE samples were used and placed in solution for 1-4 weeks to allow decalcification by EDTA. The tissue was sectioned at -35C at a thickness of 7 microns. These sections were used for laser capture microdissection (LCM) to isolate the neoplastic epithelial portion of the tumors, using static image settings. Total RNA was extracted from each sample and examined using the whole genome microarray against the Stratagene universal human reference RNA.

Project description:Cloning mammals by somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) is highly inefficient. Most SCNT-generated embryos die after implantation because of unidentified, complex epigenetic errors in the process of postimplantation embryonic development. Here, we identified the most upstream level of dysfunction leading to impaired development of clones by using RNA interference (RNAi) against Xist, a gene responsible for X chromosome inactivation (XCI). A prior injection of Xist-specific short interfering (si)RNA into reconstructed oocytes efficiently corrected the SCNT-specific aberrant Xist expression at the morula stage, but failed to do so thereafter at the blastocyst stage. However, we found that shortly after implantation this aberrant XCI status in cloned embryos had been corrected autonomously in both embryonic and extraembryonic tissues, probably through a newly established XCI control for postimplantation embryos. Embryo transfer experiments revealed that the siRNA-treated embryos showed 10 times higher survival than controls as early as embryonic day 5.5 and this high survival persisted until term, resulting in a remarkable improvement in cloning efficiency (12% vs. 1% in controls). Importantly, unlike control clones, these Xist-siRNA clones at birth showed only a limited dysregulation of their gene expression, indicating that correction of Xist expression in preimplantation embryos had a long-term effect on their postnatal normality. Thus, contrary to the general assumption, our results suggest that the fate of cloned embryos is determined almost exclusively before implantation by their XCI status. Furthermore, our strategy provides a promising breakthrough for mammalian SCNT cloning because RNAi treatment of oocytes is readily applicable to most mammal species. Gene expression were measured in mouse in vitro fertilized and somatic cell cloned embryos. Four biological replicates were performed in each group of Xist- or Control-siRNA.

Project description:The occurrence of many neonatal inflammatory intestinal diseases in preterm infants highlights the susceptibility of the immature intestine to respond inadequately to nutrient and microbes. A better understanding of the functional intestinal development is essential for the design of optimal treatments ensuring survival and growth of premature infants. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the gene expression profiles of the developing human ileum and colon at mid-gestation. Our results showed that more than 11% of the genes were differentially expressed between ileum and colon. Pathway analysis revealed an even higher level of transcriptional dissimilarity between the developing ileum and the colon including 35% of the significant cellular, molecular and physiological functions and 85% of the canonical pathways. Segment-specific/over-expressed functions in the ileum included a number of amino acid, vitamin and mineral metabolisms and lymphoid tissue structure and development reflecting the high level of maturity of the small intestine as compared to the colon in which cell cycle, cell morphology and actin cytoskeleton, integrin and ERK/MAPK signaling were the predominant functions. All together, functional clustering analysis of the differentially expressed genes revealed important functional difference between the two segments namely to an unexpected relative immaturity of the colon. Two-condition experiment: three human fetal small intestines vs. three human fetal large intestines.
