ABSTRACT: To identify the age dependent radiation response in C3H mouse bone marrow cells. Changes in gene expression in 1 week old and 8 weeks old C3H mouse (female) bone marrow after 2Gy irradiation. Bone marrow samples were collected un-irradiated control, 6 hours and 24 hours after irradiation. Three mice were used at each time course.
Project description:Human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSC) and human embryonic mesenchymal stem cells (ESMSC)were used. X-ray irradiation (2Gy) or 0Gy was delivered. After 4 hours, equal amount total RNA from each sample was extracted prior to gene expression analysis. After making cDNA, genes associated with Wnt signaling pathway were analyzed. qPCR gene expression profiling. Human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells and human embryonic mesenchymal stem cells were used. X-ray irradiation (2Gy) or 0Gy was delivered. After 4 hours, equal amount total RNA from each sample was extracted prior to gene expression analysis.

Project description:Listeria monocytogenes is a facultative intracellular bacterial pathogen that tightly regulates the activities of various virulence factors during infection. A mutant strain (the plcBM-NM-^Tpro mutant) that has lost the ability to control the activity of a phospholipase C (PC-PLC) is attenuated a hundred fold in mice. This attenuation is not due to a lack of bacterial fitness, but appears to result from a modified host response to infection. The transcriptomic pattern of immunerelated genes in infected macrophages indicated no differential response to wild-type L. monocytogenes vs the plcBM-NM-^Tpro mutant. Cultures of bone marrow derived macrophages from BALB/c were infected with either wild type or mutant L. monocytogens for 3, 6, or 9 hrs. The macrophages were then collected and RNA isolated for microarray analysis of gene expression.
Project description:Limbal stromal cells were reported to resemble mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) with multipotential differentiation cability. However, little is known about their gene expression profiles compared to MSC derived from various sources. In this study, the gene expression profile of limbal stromal cells was compared to bone marrow, adipose stromal cells and foreskin fibroblasts. In addition, we also explored the gene expression changes of ex vivo expanded limbal stromal cells when cultured in two different systems. Expanded limbal stromal cells were divided into two groups; each cultured separately on a matrigel-coated plate in DMEM/F12 medium supplemented with bFGF and LIF and the other on a normal plate in DMEM medium supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS). Cryopreserved bone marrow mesenchymal cells, adipose stromal cells and foreskin fibroblasts were cultured-expanded until confluent. Total RNA was extracted from all the samples and subjected to microarray experiments with an Agilent platform by using Human GE 8x60k microarrays. Data analysis was carried out with GeneSpring software. A total of 871 genes were upregulated when the limbal stromal cells were cultured in the matrigel system, whereas 58 genes were consistently differentially expressed in limbal stromal cells compared to other lineages. Besides the long intergenic non-coding RNA and unknown genes, these genes represent gene ontology for cellular components, molecular function and biological process. Samples derived from the same source were closely clustered by Hierachical clustering analysis. The limbal stromal cells have a distinct molecular signature compared to MSCs from other lineages. The culture system affected the gene expression profile of limbal stromal cells tremendously. Derived limbal stromal cells were cultured using two different methods, one with matrigel and the other with FBS. Their gene expression profiles were compared. The gene expression profile of limbal stromal cells that were cultured with FBS also was compared to the gene expression profiles of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells, adipose stromal cells and foreskin fibroblasts.
Project description:We performed a comprehensive analysis of gene expression changes following low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) treatment of cultured bone marrow cells under bone formation conditions, using cDNA microarray analysis Bone marrow cells were obtained from the femora of rats and were suspended in an osteogenic medium to make a cell culture. After cultures were established, test cultures were exposed to LIPUS via the base of the cell culture plates for 15 min/day on days 3–9 (LIPUS group). Control cultures (without LIPUS exposure) were otherwise treated identically to the LIPUS group. On day 10, total RNA was extracted from both sets of cultures and hybridized to microarray slides, the data sets were analysed. Markers for differentiated osteoblasts and osteocytes, as well as collagen-related genes, cell adhesion factors were up-regulated in LIPUS group on day 10. Gene expression in response to LIPUS treatment of bone marrow cells were measured on day 10 after cultures were established. Experiments were performed at each conditions (LIPUS or Control).
Project description:B16-BL6 mouse melanoma that had been maintained in C57BL/6J mice were used to evaluate the 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) and radiation dose effects on radiotherapy. Mice were divided into 6 groups after implantation of B16-BL6 cells; (1) no treatment (NT) ; (2) 5-ALA treatment (ALAT); (3) 10 session of fractionated irradiation (2Gy/day) (20XT); (4) 10 sessions of 5-ALA treatment followed by fractionated irradiation (2Gy/day) (ALA-20XT); (5) 10 session of fractionated irradiation (3Gy/day) (30XT); (6) 10 sessions of 5-ALA treatment followed by fractionated irradiation (3Gy/day) (ALA-30XT).
Project description:Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a major health problem and a leading cause of chronic liver disease in the United States and developed countries. In humans, genetic factors greatly influence individual susceptibility to NAFLD. The goals of this study were to compare the magnitude of interindividual differences in the severity of liver injury induced by methyl-donor deficiency among individual inbred strains of mice and to investigate the underlying mechanisms associated with the variability. Feeding mice a choline- and folate-deficient diet for 12 wk caused liver injury similar to NAFLD. The magnitude of liver injury varied among the strains, with the order of sensitivity being A/J M-bM-^IM-^H C57BL/6J M-bM-^IM-^H C3H/HeJ < 129S1/SvImJ M-bM-^IM-^H CAST/EiJ < PWK/PhJ < WSB/EiJ. The interstrain variability in severity of NAFLD liver damage was associated with dysregulation of genes involved in lipid metabolism, primarily with a down-regulation of the peroxisome proliferator receptor M-NM-1 (PPARM-NM-1)-regulated lipid catabolic pathway genes. Markers of oxidative stress and oxidative stress-induced DNA damage were also elevated in the livers but were not correlated with severity of liver damage. These findings suggest that the PPARM-NM-1-regulated metabolism network is one of the key mechanisms determining interstrain susceptibility and severity of NAFLD in mice. Male A/J, C3H/HeJ and WSB/EiJ inbred mice were maintained on either control or choline- and folate-deficient (CFD) diets for 12 weeks. Gene expression profiles in the livers from control mice and mice fed a CFD-diet were investigated.
