ABSTRACT: Microarray analysis was performed at the UHN Microarray Centre (UHNMAC, Ontario, Canada) using Illumina HumanHT-12 v4 BeadChip with 500 ng of total RNA prepared by RNeasy mini kit (QIAGEN, Cat. No. 74104). Samples from HCC1954 cells with 3-day treatment of TBK1-II at 4 uM were used to compare with vehicle-treated controls. Microarray data was processed and normalized by lumi package from BioConductor in R with Quantile Method. Difference between the samples were calculated by Bayesian statistic using limma package from BioConductor in R to obtain Moderated T value for subsequent Pathway analysis. Total RNA extracted from HER2+ HCC1954 cells after 3 days treatment of TBK1-II inhibitor compared with vehicle control
Project description:Promoter hypermethylation occurs in human gastric cancers, but whether the deregulated genes contribute to the multi-step Helicobacter pylori (H pylori)-induced gastric carcinogenesis remains unclear. We used Microarray-based Methylation Assessment of Single Samples (MMASS) to identify differential methylated genes in 10 human gastric cancer tissues. Two-condition experiment, gastric cancers from patients (n = 5 per group) who survived 5 years or more (long-term survivors group) and who died of disease prior to 5 years (short-term survivors group)

Project description:Total RNA was extracted from liver tissues of lab-reared threespine stickleback. First generation fish originating from the Baltic Sea near Helsinki (Finland) were bred using a paternal half-sib design. At 6 months individuals were randomly assigned to either a treatment or control group: the temperature of treated fish (T) was raised 1oC per hour over the course of 6h to a final temperature of 23oC, then maintained for 1h at final temperature; control (C) fish were maintained at 17oC under similar holding conditions. Immediately following experimental (or sham) treatment, fish were euthanized by anaesthetic overdose. Liver tissues were immediately dissected and flash frozen in liquid nitrogen for subsequent RNA extraction. Annotated R scripts defining the normalization procedures are available as additional files (see http://www.ebi.ac.uk/arrayexpress/files/E-MTAB-3098). Additional files also include a targets file to assist with reading raw data into R (Targs.txt), and a metadata file (matrix.df.csv) to facilitate construction of design matrices used by the M-bsnmM-b package.
Project description:Background: Translation deregulation is an important mechanism that causes aberrant cell growth, proliferation and survival. eIF4E, the mRNA 5 prime capâ??binding protein, plays a major role in translational control. To understand how eIF4E affects cellular proliferation and cell survival, we identified mRNA targets that are translationally responsive to eIF4E. Methodology/ principal findings: Microarray analysis of polysomal mRNA from an eIF4E-inducible NIH 3T3 cell line was performed. Induction of eIF4E expression resulted in increased translation of a defined set of mRNAs; many of the mRNAs are novel targets, including those that encode large- and small-subunit ribosomal proteins and cell growthâ??related factors. eIF4E overexpression also led to augmented translation of mRNAs encoding anti-apoptotic proteins, which conferred resistance to endoplasmic reticulumâ??mediated apoptosis. Conclusions/ significance: Our results shed new light on the mechanisms by which eIF4E prevents apoptosis and transforms cells. Downregulation of eIF4E and its downstream targets is a therapeutic option for the development of novel anti-cancer drugs.

Project description:Global miRNA expression profiling of human malignancies is gaining popularity in both basic and clinically driven research. But to date, the majority of such analyses have used microarrays and quantitative real-time PCR. With the introduction of digital count technologies, such as next-generation sequencing (NGS) and the NanoString nCounter System, we have at our disposal, many more options. To make effective use of these different platforms, the strengths and pitfalls of several miRNA profiling technologies were assessed, including a microarray platform, NGS technologies and the NanoString nCounter System. These results were compared to gold-standard quantitative real-time PCR. Comparison of non-small cell lung cancer cell lines grown in vitro (n = 5) and in vivo (n = 5) as xenograft models.

Project description:Background: As costs decline, the size and scope of microarray experiments have increased. In multi-centre studies there is a need to ensure consistency of data pre-processing across centres. Similarly, in smaller scale studies the evolution of microarray platforms means that there is often a need to compare data generated on earlier microarrays to that generated on newer ones. It is important in such studies to ensure that platform-dependent biases are removed so that meta-analysis of different datasets can be performed reliably. In both these cases the optimal scenario is to have a small subset of samples repeated at each site or on each platform. These replicates can then be used to learn a relationship between probe intensities on the two platforms. Results: I introduce here a simple, linear-modelling-based method for normalizing data from multiple-platforms by using replicate hybridizations. A dataset of 20 rat liver samples is used as a benchmark. Eight samples are hybridized to two separate versions of Affymetrix microarrays, while the other 12 are hybridized to one, for a total of 28 arrays. Our linear modelling method removes platform bias as assessed using both unsupervised machine-learning and two-group statistical analyses. The method is computationally efficient and works well for data pre-processed by the GCRMA, RMA and MAS5 algorithms and using either default or alternative probe-mappings. The method is very stable towards the number of replicate samples used, with even two replicates greatly reducing platform-specific bias. Conclusions: A simple linear-modelling method can remove platform-specific bias independent of the pre-processing algorithm and ProbeSet-mapping used. This technique can readily be extended to multi-site experiments, and suggests the benefits of including a small number of replicate hybridizations in each new study as a normalization control. Twenty rats livers were processed, eight on both RAE230-A and RAE230-2 arrays, 8 on only RAE230-A arrays, and 4 on RAE230-2 arrays only.
