Microarray analysis of U87 glioma cells after transient knockdown of FOXM1
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: FOXM1 plays a key role in M phase in normal cells and is overexpressed in human glioma. We found that FOXM1 deprivation could sensitize the glioma cells to TMZ chemotherapy. To find out the mechanistic regulation of FOXM1 in chemo-resistant genes, we used microarrays to select the potential genes regulated by FOXM1 which dominates in glioma chemo-resistance. U87 glioma cells were transiently transfected with none-target siRNA or FOXM1 siRNA. Total RNA were extracted after 48 hours and subjected to the microarray.
Project description:Gliomas are aggressive lethal solid brain tumors arising from support cells in the central nervous system. Despite intense efforts to optimize the treatment of gliomas, the outcomes of high grade glioma patients are still frustrating. The causes and progress of gliomas have been investigated extensively; however, the genetic factors involved in the development of this disease remain poorly understood. We used microarrays to detail the global program of gene expression in different grade glioma tissues and try to find out some genes associated with the tumorigenesis of gliomas. Grade I to grade IV glioma tissues were selected in surgical operations for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. We sought to obtain gene expression profiles. To that end, we hand-selected several genes that were differentially expressed in different grade glioma tissues and then performed a further study to identify the role of these genes in the process of the development of gliomas.
Project description:miRNAs are related with the initiation and development of prostate cancer. We discover the miR-195 and miR-30 can be as a biomarker of prognosis of prostate cancer in clinical patients. miRNA functions through affecting the mRNA degradation by binding the mRNA 3âUTR. So we test the change of transcriptional profile of miR-195 and miR-30d cell line respectively to further study the function of miR-195 and miR-30d. To study the function of miR-195 and miR-30d in prostate cancer, we setup the over-expression cell line of the miR-195 and miR-30d respectively in prostate cancer cell(LNCap and DU145), then study the change of transcriptional profile in cell line by microarray experiment (Affymetrix PrimeView human gene expression). We order the over-expression plasmid of vector, miR-195 and miR-30d from System Biosciences company (Cat No: Scramble Vector PMIRH000PA-1 as Control, miR-195 PMIRH195PA-1, miR-30d PMIRH30dPA-1), and packaged the virus and construct the stable cell line (LNCaP_Control, LNCaP_mir195, LNCaP_mir30d,DU145_Control, DU145_mir195, DU145_mir30d,). We test the transcriptional profile in cell line by microarray experiment (Affymetrix PrimeView human gene expression).
Project description:To further explain pathology of mTORC1 -stimulated osteoarthritis, we have employed whole genome microarray expression profiling as a discovery platform to identify miRNAs which involved in development of mTORC1-stimulated osteoarthritis We generated Col2a1-specific deletion of Tsc1 mice. mTORC1 induced miRNAs expression in development of osteoarthritis was measured at eight weeks after birth. Independent experiments were performed using knee joint cartilage from Col2a1Tsc1KO and control mice.
Project description:We measured the expression of human microRNAs in tumor cells derived from 8 FFPE samples among non-invasive CRC patients with different prognosis. Patients lived for more than 5 years after surgery were classified as good prognosis, and patients died within 5 years from surgery were classified as poor prognosis. Tumor tissues were macrodissected under the control HE staining slides. And there were at least 75 percent cancer cells in the samples. MicroRNA microarray was used to measure the expression of human miRNAs in tumor cells derived from 8 FFPE samples among early stage CRC patients with different prognosis.
Project description:Previously, we performed DNA array-based transcriptomic analysis of Clostridium acetobutylicum biofilm adsorbed onto fibrous matrix in batch fermentation. Here, to further shed light on the transcriptomic modulation of maturing Clostridium acetobutylicum biofilm, we performed the DNA array-based transcriptomic analysis in repeated-batch fermentation. Significant time course changes in expression levels were observed for the genes involved in amino acid metabolism, oligopeptide ABC transporter, nitrogen fixation, and various other processes. Repeated-batch fermentation was carried out in 2-L stainless steel columns packed with 40 g of cotton towel ?cut into pieces?approximately 3 cm × 5 cm) containing 1.5 L of P2 medium. Medium circulation rate was maintained at 35 mL/min via a peristaltic pump and the temperature was controlled at 37°C. Fermentation broth was replaced with fresh P2 medium every 12 h. Samples were withdrawn at 6 h after the medium replacement at predetermined interval, except for the last 3 samples. The last 3 samples were withdrawn at 12 h, 15 h, and 17 h after the medium replacement, respectively, to study the transcriptomic response to the adverse condition at the end of fermentation. A total of 8 samples were withdrawn over a period of 7 days, and time course gene expression profiles were studied.
Project description:We tested the hypothesis that circulating microRNAs (miRNAs) present in plasma might display a specific signature in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). Global miRNA profiles were determined with the Agilent Human miRNA Microarray platform, 027233. ICH patients display a characteristic inflammation-related miRNA profile as compared to healthy controls. Plasma samples were collected from the following 6 subject groups: male ICH patients (n=8), female ICH patients (n=7), male healthy control (n=4), female healthy control (n=4), male ischemic stroke patients (n=8) and female ischemic stroke patients (n=8). Total RNAs isolated from 1 ml plasma were pooled for each group. A fixed volume of RNA sample was withdrawn from each pool and used for microarray detection.

Project description:To evaluate whether serum microRNAs can predict survival in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) patients, we analyzed the serum microRNA expression profiles in 8 NPC patients with shorter-survival time and 8 age- and gender-matched NPC patients with longer-survival time using microarray. We identified a four-microRNA signature can predict survival of NPC patients. 8 serum samples from nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients with shorter-survival time and 8 serum samples from nasopharyngeal carinoma patients with longer-survival time
