ABSTRACT: The eosinophil transcriptome analysis indicated a robust transcription change in eosinophils following allergen challenge in the lung. Eosinophils were FACS-sorted from Saline or OVA challenged lung with high purity and then subjected to genome-wide RNA microarray
Project description:Objective: To study the physiological role of eosinophils in the GI tract and lung under homeostatic conditions, Method: we analyzed tissue-specific eosinophil gene expression patterns by genome-wide expression microarray analysis using RNA isolated from FACS-sorted eosinophils from the small intestine or lung of naive BALB/cmice (Live eosinophils were identified as DAPI-CCR3+Siglec-F+CD45+CD4-CD8a-CD19-B220-SSChigh cells). Result: There are 513 genes that are differentially expressed by intestinal eosinophils and Lung eosinophils. Conclusion: Eosinophils from different tissues have unique gene expression patterns for distinct functions. we analyzed tissue-specific eosinophil gene expression patterns by genome-wide expression microarray analysis using RNA isolated from FACS-sorted eosinophils from the small intestine or lung of naive BALB/cmice (Live eosinophils were identified as DAPI-CCR3+Siglec-F+CD45+CD4-CD8a-CD19-B220-SSChigh cells).
Project description:Elastin wild type Eln+/+ and Eln+/- mouse aorta and aortic valve tissue. In the study, we demonstrated differential gene expression in juvenile elastin deficient mouse valve tissue. In the study, we hybridized RNA from Elastin wild type (Eln+/+) aorta tissue, elastin wild type (Eln+/+) aortic valve tissue, elastin (Eln+/-) aorta tissue and elastin (Eln+/-) aortic valve tissue to Affymetrix GeneChip Mouse Genome 430 2.0 Array
Project description:Myelodysplastic Syndromes (MDS) result from expansion of defective hematopoietic stem/progenitor clones. There is an urgent need to develop targeted therapies capable of eliminating the defective MDS clones. We identified that IRAK1, an immune modulating kinase, is overexpressed and hyperactivated in MDS. MDS-propagating clones treated with a small-molecule IRAK1 inhibitor (IRAK1/4-Inh) exhibited impaired expansion and increased apoptosis, which coincided with TRAF6/NF-M-NM-:B inhibition. Suppression of IRAK1, either by RNAi or with IRAK1/4-Inh, is selectively detrimental to MDS clones as normal CD34+ cells are preserved. Based on conclusions derived from an integrative gene expression analysis, we combined IRAK1 and BCL2 inhibitors and found that co-treatment collaboratively and selectively eliminated MDS clones. In summary, these findings implicate IRAK1 as a drugable target in MDS. MDSL cells were transduced with lentivirus encoding shRNA targeting human IRAK1 and a negative control (pLKO) for 2.5 days. GFP positive cells were sorted for RNA extraction, labeling, and hybridization. A total of four samples were included, and two groups are assigned. Two replicates are for each group. Comparison comprises mRNA expression profile of TRAF6 knockdown (shT6) v.s. control vector (pLKO). Additionally, MDSL cells were treated with either DMSO or IRAK inhibitor for 24hrs. Cells were subjected to RNA extraction, labeling, and hybridization. A total of four samples were included, and two groups are assigned.
Project description:Bortezomib (VelcadeM-BM-)) is widely used for the treatment of various human cancers, however, its mechanisms of action are not fully understood, particularly in myeloid malignancies. Bortezomib is a selective and reversible inhibitor of the proteasome. Paradoxically, we find that Bortezomib induces proteasome-independent degradation of TRAF6 protein, but not mRNA, in Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) cell lines and primary cells. The reduction in TRAF6 protein coincides with Bortezomib-induced autophagy, and subsequently with apoptosis in MDS/AML cells. RNAi-mediated knockdown of TRAF6 sensitized Bortezomib-sensitive and -resistant cell lines, underscoring the importance of TRAF6 in Bortezomib-induced cytotoxicity. Bortezomib-resistant cells expressing an shRNA targeting TRAF6 were resensitized to the cytotoxic effects of Bortezomib due to down-regulation of the proteasomal subunit alpha-1 (PSMA1). To uncover the molecular consequences following loss of TRAF6 in MDS/AML cells, we applied gene expression profiling and identified an apoptosis gene signature. Knockdown of TRAF6 in MDS/AML cell lines or patient samples resulted in rapid apoptosis and impaired malignant hematopoietic stem/progenitor function. In summary, we describe novel mechanisms by which TRAF6 is regulated through Bortezomib/autophagy-mediated degradation and by which it alters MDS/AML sensitivity to Bortezomib by controlling PSMA1 expression. TF-1 cells were transduced with lentivirus encoding shRNA targeting human TRAF6 and a negative control (pLKO) for 2.5 days. GFP positive cells were sorted for RNA exctration, labeling, and hybridization. A total of four samples were included, and two groups are assigned. Two replicates are for each group. Comparison comprises mRNA expression profile of TRAF6 knockdown (shT6) v.s. control vector (pLKO).
Project description:Experimental aim: To identify altered gene transcription within the airway wall in chronic allergic airways disease. BALB/c mice entered a chronic ovalbumin model of allergic airways disease before their airways were collected. RNA was extracted from the airways of allergic and non-allergic controls with an affymetrix array conducted to compare gene expression between groups.
Project description:Transcription profiles of self renewing erythroblast cultures isolated from both the restricted and extensively self-renewing phases of growth. The samples are paired.
Project description:Morphogenesis of epithelial tissues relies on the precise developmental control of cell polarity and architecture. In the early Drosophila embryo, the primary epithelium forms during cellularisation, following a tightly controlled genetic programme where specific sets of genes are up-regulated. Some of them, for instance, control membrane invagination between the nuclei anchored at the apical surface of the syncytium. We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression underlying cellularisation and identified distinct classes of regulated genes during EE. CC10-rtta/teton-IL-13 mice were fed either with doxycycline or regular diet (Dox vs. NODOX). Esophaguses were collected and submitted to RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays.
Project description:Small intestine of a pool of three Wt mice and a pool of 3 IL-9tg mice in a balb/c backround. We demonstrated that intestinal IL-9 over expression predispose to oral antigen sensitization Experiment Overall Design: In the study, we hybridized RNA from 6-8 week old small intestine of wild type (WT) control and Interleukin 9 (IL-9Tg) to Affymetrix MOE430 2 GeneChip® arrays. Each sample is a pool of three mice.
Project description:Microarray analysis of purified pachytene spermatocytes and round spermatids. Each stage was examined in wild type and RNF8 knockout mice in two biological replicates. We performed microarray analysis using Affymetrix Gene 1.0 ST Arrays with purified pachytene spermatocytes and round spermatids. Pachytene spermatocytes and round spermatids were enriched from 3 to 4 males from the WT or Rnf8-KO via BSA gravity sedimentation according to the previous publication [PMID 8231890] and >95% (PS, RS) enrichments were verified after DAPI staining under a fluorescent microscope. For microarray analysis, total RNAs from purified pachytene spermatocytes or round spermatids were examined.
