Volatile ammonia functions as a long range alarm signal important for the transition of yeast colonies to their adaptive alkali developmental phase and for their consequent long term survival. Cells of aged Saccharomyces cerevisiae sok2 colonies deleted in the gene for Sok2p transcription factor are not able to release a sufficient amount of ammonia out of the cells, they are more fragile than cells of wild type colonies, and they exhibit a survival defect.

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small regulatory RNAs, which serve fundamental biological roles across eukaryotic species. We describe a novel method for high throughput miRNA detection. The technique is termed RNA-primed, Array-based, Klenow Enzyme (RAKE) assay, because it involves on-slide application of the Klenow fragment of DNA polymerase to extend unmodified miRNAs hybridized to immobilized DNA probes. We used RAKE to study human cell lines and brain tumors. We show that the RAKE assay is sensitive and specific for miRNAs and is ideally suited for rapid expression profiling of all known miRNAs. RAKE offers unique advantages for specificity over Northern blots or other microarray-based expression profiling platforms. Furthermore, we demonstrate that miRNAs can be isolated and profiled from formalinfixed paraffin-embedded tissue, which opens up new opportunities for analyses of small RNAs from archival human tissue. The RAKE assay is theoretically versatile and may be used for other applications, such as viral gene profiling. Keywords = microRNA Keywords: ordered

Project description:(This section will be revisited in good time prior to publication, for final approval) Research within the field of functional genomics provides a more profound understanding of living organisms, by elucidating the interaction between genes and gene products. This is of increasing importance in many fields, and especially within cancer research. With the use of microarray technology, the gene expression of a vast number of genes can be measured simultaneously. This allows us insight into tumor biology, and an opportunity to obtain knowledge of diagnostic and prognostic value, as well as hints towards the causes of cancer. In this study the gene expression in a selection of human neuroendocrine (NE) and non-neuroendocrine tumor cell lines were compared. Both qualitative and quantitative methods were applied to get an insight into the NE tumor biology. NE cells are found in practically every organ and tissue in the body and are assigned to synthesize peptide hormones and take up amino acids and transform these into biogenic amines by carboxylation. NE tumors arise after malignant transformation of neuroendocrine cells and are usually highly differentiated and have a low growth rate, which makes this a high prevalence tumor type. These rather rare tumors characteristically express NE markers, such as chromogranin A, and contains characteristic dense-secretory core granules. By using cDNA microarray analysis, the gene expression profiles of various NE tumor cell lines (e. g. carcinoid, neuroblastoma, medullary thyroid carcinoma and endocrine pancreatic tumor) were compared with those of non-NE tumor cells. As a reference the commercially available Universal human RNA reference (Stratagene) was used. Verification of the results were done by real time RT-PCR analysis after the NE nature of the cell lines was stated by immunohistochemical, electron microscopic and light microscopic examinations. A large number of genes were differentially expressed in NE cell lines vs. the non-NE cell lines, and were found to be of interest in NE tumor biology. Some of these genes were previously known in NE tumor biology, whereas the vast majority of the specified genes are novel in the context of NE tumor biology. Genes with little previous information were also identified and thought to be an asset in the search of new NE markers. A feasible prospective of the study would be expansion with additional samples cell lines and a more thorough verification with real time RT-PCR analysis. This would enhance the credibility and thus the utility of the findings. Future studies on the biological functions of the candidate genes and the mechanisms of their regulation, will hopefully enable suggestions of new NE markers of prognostic or diagnostic value, and eventually new drug targets. Keywords: neuroendocrine, neuroendocrine markers, gene expression profiling, cDNA microarray The hybridisation was performed by an experienced laboratory technician Eli Helge, (Dept. of Laboratory Medicine, Children`s and Women`s health, NTNU) at the microarray core facility. Three separate runs with 10, 11 and 3 slides was needed to obtain the 20 hybridisations (dyeswap x 10 cell lines) planned for this study. Of the 10 cell lines 6 were neuroendocrine and 4 were non-neuroendocrine. For comparison between these two groups the universal human reference RNA (Stratagene) was used as the "control" on each slide. An adapted version of the 3DNA Array 350 protocol (Genisphere) was used. The slides were scanned with a ScanArrayTMExpressHT (Packard BioScience) twice immediately after the hybridisation was completed to avoid photo bleaching of the fluorescent dyes.

Project description:Rationale: Despite the deleterious effects associated with elevated carbon dioxide (CO2), or hypercapnia, it has been hypothesized that CO2 can protect the lung from injury. However, the effects of chronic hypercapnia on the neonatal lung are unknown. Objectives: To determine whether chronic hypercapnia alters alveolar development and to identify genes that could potentially contribute to hypercapnia-mediated lung protection. Methods: Newborn mouse litters were exposed to 8% CO2, 12% CO2 or room air for 2 weeks. Lungs were excised and analyzed for morphometric alterations. Gene expression changes were assessed by microarray techniques and RT-PCR, and gene products by western blotting. Results: The alveolar walls of CO2-exposed mice appeared thinner than those of controls. In addition, genes from a variety of functional categories were differentially expressed with hypercapnia, including those involved with cell growth/maintenance, signal transduction, protein metabolism, ion transport, stress response and inflammation. In particular and of major interest, gene expression was increased for surfactant proteins (SP) A and D, epithelial Na+ channel, GATA binding protein 6 and fibroblast growth factor receptor 2. In addition, SP-A and SP-D protein expression was increased with hypercapnia. Conclusions: Our results lead us to conclude that: 1) There are potentially a number of gene families which may contribute to hypercapnia-mediated lung protection, and 2) up-regulation of SP-A and SP-D may play a role as anti-inflammatory or antioxidant agents. Based on our genomic results, the effects of CO2 depend on the level to which the lung is exposed. Total 5 arrays including 2 dye-swaps were performed for the 8% CO2 treated animals. Five individual animals were analyzed. Total 4 arrays including 2 dye-swaps were performed for the 12% CO2 treated animals. Four individual animals were analyzed.

Project description:Due to the lack of controlled microarray experimental data, evaluation of gene identification methods has been performed using simulated data. As the ability of these approaches to mimic actual experimental data is questionable, conclusions drawn can be misleading. We applied spike-in approaches to develop experimental benchmark data and used it to evaluate various gene identification methods. mRNA that correspond to specific spots on a microarray were obtained by in-vitro transcription of selected clones. They were then spiked in at 11 varying concentrations to a common pool of mRNA, creating a set of known differentially expressed genes. mRNA was obtained from mouse ATCC CRL1606 hybridoma cells. From self hybridization results 200 genes that consistently exhibited a log ratio value close to 0 were randomly selected across a range of intensity. In-vitro transcripts of these 200 genes were obtained from their respective clones. From RNA gel electrophoresis and test array results, 169 of the 200 transcripts were deemed successful. Experiments were then conducted by spiking these 169 transcripts to the common pool of mRNA extracted from the hybridoma cells. With exception of the spiked in genes, the experimental set-up is identical to a self hybridization. This experiment is thus different from other microarray experiments as the set of differentially expressed genes is known as they have been artificially created. Spiked in genes were introduced at 11 concentrations: 0pmol (self hybridization), 0.025pmol, 0.05pmol, 0.10pmol, 0.15pmol, 0.20pmol, 0.25pmol, 0.5pmol, 0.75pmol 1pmol and 2pmol. For concentrations 0pmol, 0.05pmol, 0.10pmol, 0.25pmol, 0.50pmol and 0.75pmol, 6 replicates were obtained. For concentrations 0.025pmol, 0.15pmol, 0.20pmol, 1pmol and 2pmol, 3 replicates were obtained. Dye swaps were not performed for these experiments.
