Project description:Analysis of gene expression profile in Ras-induced senescent human diploid fibroblasts with or without depletion of fzr1/cdh1. Results provide insight into the effect on fzr1/cdh1 on the regulation of senescence-associated gene expression in human diploid fibroblasts. IMR-90-ER:Ras cells were cultured for 6 days with or without 4-hydroxytamoxifen (OHT) and were subsequently subjected to transfection with siRNA oligos against fzr1/cdh1 or control for three times (at 2 day intervals). Total RNA was isolated using Trizol reagent and were analyzed using the human 3D-Gene DNA chip (Toray) which that contains 25000 genes. The genome wide transcriptional response of proliferating cells (IMR si control2) and fzr1/cdh1 depleted senescent cells (IMR+OHT si cdh1) were compared to that of senescent cells (IMR+OHT si control).
Project description:We used microarray to determine the miRNA whose expression was changed at 6 hours after inflammatory cytokines (TNFα, IL1α, IL1β, or IL6) treatment. Two-condition experiment; Caco2 control vs Caco2 treated with TNFα, IL1α, IL1β,or IL6 for 6 hours
Project description:The miRNAs expression was markedly altered with the treatment of metformin in vitro and in vivo and various miRNAs induced by metformin also may contribute to tumor growth in vitro and in vivo. Using a custom microarray platform, we analyzed the expression levels of 985 human miRNA probes in the cell lines in vitro and tumorous tissues in vivo that were treated with and without metformin.
Project description:During mammalian spermatogenesis the mouse VASA homolog (MVH), a germ cell-specific DEAD-box type RNA binding protein, localizes in a germline-specific RNA granule termed the chromatoid body (CB). Genetic analyses have revealed that MVH is essential to progress through spermatogenesis, although the molecular mechanisms of its function remain elusive. We found that the acetyltransferase HAT1 and its cofactor, p46, are specifically co-localized with MVH in the CB and acetylate MVH at Lys-405, leading to inactivation of its RNA binding activity. Notably, the acetylation is developmentally regulated, paralleling the temporally regulated co-localization of HAT1 and p46 in the CB. We have identified 858 mRNAs as MVH targets, a large proportion of which correspond to previously identified translationally arrested genes. Importantly, eIF4B mRNA, a target of MVH, is selectively released from MVH-RNP when MVH is acetylated, paralleling an increase in eIF4B protein. These findings reveal a novel signaling pathway that links acetylation to RNA processing in the control of spermatogenesis. IMVH target mRNA was purified from MVH immuno precipitated complex, followed by RNA purification and identified by DNA chip. In this study, we identified more than 800 MVH target mRNA in testis.
Project description:Background: Only a subset of radically-resected pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) patients benefit from chemotherapy, and identification of novel prognostic factors is warranted. Recently miRNAs emerged as diagnostic biomarkers and innovative therapeutic targets, while high-throughput arrays are opening new opportunities to evaluate whether they can also predict clinical outcome. The present study evaluated whether comprehensive miRNA expression profiling correlated with overall survival (OS) in resected PDAC patients. Methodology/Principal Findings: High-resolution miRNA profiles were obtained with the Toray’s 3D-GeneTM miRNA chip, detecting more than 1200 types of human miRNA. RNA was isolated from paraffin-embedded primary tumors of 26 radically resected stage-pT3N1 homogeneously treated patients (adjuvant gemcitabine 1000mg/m2/day, days-1/8/15, every 28days), carefully selected according to their outcome (OS<12 vs. OS>30 months, i.e. short/long-OS). Highly stringent statistics included t-test, distance matrix with Spearman-ranked correlation, and iterative approaches. Unsupervised hierarchical analysis revealed that PDAC specimens clustered according to their short/long-OS classification, while the feature selection algorithm RELIEF identified the top-4 discriminating miRNAs between the two groups. These miRNAs target more than 1500 transcripts, including 169 targeted by two or more of these miRNAs. MiR-211 emerged as the best discriminating miRNA, with significantly higher expression in long- vs. short-OS patients. The expression of this miRNA was subsequently assessed by quantitative-PCR in an independent cohort of laser microdissected tumors from 60 resected stage-pT3N1 PDAC patients treated with the same gemcitabine regimen. Patients with low miR-211 expression according to median value had a significantly shorter median OS (14.8, 95%CI=13.1-16.5, vs. 25.7 months, 95%CI=16.2-35.1, log-rank P=0.004). Multivariate analysis demonstrated that low miR-211 expression was an independent factor of poor prognosis (hazard ratio 2.3, P=0.03) after adjusting for all the factors influencing outcome. 19 samples, duplicated gene spots
Project description:The change of mRNA expression in murine immortalized podocyte were analyzed after miR-26a silencing. These results provide a basical information of molecular pathology in podocyte biology. Mouse podocytes immortalized by temperature sensitive SV40 were used. Podocyte cultures grown at 33 °C were trypsinized and then cultured with RPMI-1640 without antibiotics in 24-well plates at 60–70% confluence for 2 days. On day 3, an anti-miR negative control (40 pmol) or the miR-26a miRNA inhibitor (40 pmol) was transfected to podocytes. The cells were analyzed after culturing for 24 hour.
Project description:Comprehensive gene expression analysis in BM-resident stromal cells was performed for an overview of BM environmental change caused by total body irradiation (TBI). Total RNA samples collected from BM-resident stromal cells with or without TBI were subjected to high sensitivity DNA microarray assays Three-condition experiment: Unirradiated, 1 day after TBI and 3 days after TBI. Bone marrow stromal cells were obtained from C57BL/6 mice (n = 6) either non-irradiated or after 9.5 Gy irradiation at indicated times.
Project description:Transcriptional profiling of left ventricular tissues of Dahl rat with or without treatment of chaetocin Three-condition experiment, Control vs. failing heart, failing heart vs. treatment with chaetocin. 3 samples mixture per each group
Project description:To elucidate the molecular features of craniofacial versus trunk neural crest cells (NCCs), we utilized P0-Cre/Floxed-EGFP mice that specifically label NCCs (Yamauchi et al., 1999 (PMID 10419695)). Craniofacial and trunk regions were isolated from P0-Cre/Floxed-EGFP mouse embryos at embryonic day E12.5, and dissociated cells were analyzed by flow cytometory in regard to the intensity of EGFP. In this study, we performed at least duplicate experiments for each of the four groups (Craniofacial EGFP+, Trunk EGFP+, Craniofacial EGFP-, Trunk EGFP-). Total of 9 samples.
