Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: To further development of our gene expression approach, we have employed whole genome microarray expression profiling as a discovery platform to identify genes which may be regulated by miR-17-92 cluster. Two stable cell lines were used, one is scrambled control and another is miR-17-92 cluster overexpresion cell lines. The differential gene expression was identified. Total RNA were extracted from two samples from the cell lines.
Project description:In order to assess the alteration in lncRNA expression in rat lung carcinogenesis induced by NNK, we determined the lncRNA expression profiles in 3 rat lung tumor samples and matched normal lung tissues and 2 blood samples from the control and NNK treatment group in the 95th week using Arraystar Rat lncRNA Microarray. We induced lung cancer using 4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone (NNK) in a rat model and determined the lncRNA expression profiles in lung cancer tissues and rat blood samples.
Project description:Advancements in animal models and cell culture techniques have been invaluable in the elucidation of molecular events and mechanisms regulating muscle atrophy. However, few studies have examined muscle atrophy in humans using modern experimental techniques. The purpose of this study was to examine and validate changes in global gene transcription during immobilization-induced muscle atrophy in humans. Healthy men and women (N=24) were subjected to two weeks of unilateral limb immobilization, with muscle biopsies obtained before, and after 48 hours (48H) and 14 days (14D) of immobilization. Both muscle cross sectional area (~ 5 %) and strength (10-20 %) were significantly reduced in men and women after 14D of immobilization. Micro-array analysis of total RNA extracted from biopsy samples uncovered 575 and 3,128 probes representing multiple genes, which were significantly altered at 48H and 14D, respectively. As a group, genes involved in mitochondrial bioenergetics and carbohydrate metabolism were predominant features at both 48H and 14D, with genes involved in protein synthesis and degradation significantly down-regulated and up-regulated, respectively, at 14D of muscle atrophy. There was also a significant decrease in the protein content of mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase, and the enzyme activity of cytochrome c oxidase and citrate synthase after 14D of immobilization. Furthermore, protein ubiquitination and oxidative damage were significantly increased by 48H and 14D of immobilization, respectively. These results suggest that transcriptional and post-transcriptional suppression of mitochondrial processes is sustained throughout 14D of immobilization, while protein ubiquitination plays an early but transient role in the progression of immobilization-induced muscle atrophy in humans. 72 samples taken from quadriceps of healthy ambulatory young men and women. Samples were taken at 3 timepoints throughout a 14 day period, the initial sample was taken at time 0 (PRECAST), then the limb was immobilized via a brace, and the 2nd sample was taken at 48 hours (CAST02D). The third sample was taken following 14 days of immobilization (CAST14D).
Project description:Mycobacterium smegmatis SigF is a group III sigma factor. Its ortholog in M. tuberculosis is reported to have role in regulation and function of cell wall components. In present study we have created an M. smegmatis M-NM-^TsigF mutant by allele exchange method. M. smegmatis sigF mutant shows non pigmented phenotype and is more sensitive to hydrogen peroxide generated oxidative stress. DNA microarray analysis of M. smegmatis wild type and M-NM-^TsigF mutant suggests that SigF in this species controls the expression of several energy and central intermediary metabolism genes along with regulation of carotenoid biosynthesis. Gene expression patterns of M.smegmatis wild type and M-NM-^TsigF mutant strains were compared at two growth stages i.e. log (OD600 ~1.4) and stationary (OD600 ~3.0). M. smegmatis strains were grown in DifcoTM MiddleBrook 7H9 broth base (BD Biosciences, Sparks, MD, USA) with 0.2% glycerol (v/v) and 0.05% Tween-80 (Sigma-Aldrich, St Louis, MO, USA) supplemented with 10% albumen dextrose catalase (BD Biosciences) (v/v) at 37 0C with continuous shaking. Total RNA was isolated using Trizole (Invitrogen) method and labelled with cyanine 3 (Cy3) as per Agilent 1-color labelling protocol (Version 5.5, February 2007). Six hundred nanograms of each Cy3 labelled samples were fragmented and hybridized. Fragmentation of labeled cRNA and hybridization were performed using Gene Expression Hybridization kit (Agilent Technologies). Hybridization was carried out in AgilentM-bM-^@M-^Ys Surehyb Chambers at 65 0C for 16 h. The hybridized slides were washed using Agilent Gene Expression wash buffers and scanned using the Agilent Microarray Scanner G Model G2565BA at 5 micron resolution. Feature extracted data was analysed using GeneSpring GX v 7.3.1 software from Agilent. Normalization of the data was done in GeneSpring GX using the recommended one color Per Chip and Per Gene Data Transformation. Set measurements less than 0.01 to 0.01 per chip, normalize to 50th percentile per gene, and normalize to specific samples.
Project description:Gastric cancer is a heterogeneous disease. The molecular mechanism behind the development of gastric cancer and the different histological subtypes, are yet not completely clear. A better understanding of this may result in better prevention, early diagnosis and treatment strategies. In this study we analyzed gene expression in tumor, adjacent non-cancerous mucosa biopsies and in age/sex matched samples from healthy individuals.
Project description:As a newly identified mRNA modification, the regulation of ac4C remains largely unexplored. RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) that specifically binds to ac4C modification and mediate downstream cellular activities (readers) have not been reported yet. We synthesized acetylated and non-acetylated RNA probes by in vitro transcription. The sequences of the probes were segments of FUS and 18s rRNA, which contain ac4C sites as reported. A biotin-RNA pulldown assay and mass spectrometry were performed with HEK 293T cell lysates.
Project description:In this study, time dependent (4 h to 96 h) transcriptome changes in roots and shoots of Brassica juncea were analyzed under arsenate (AsV) stress by using Agilent platform. A total of 1285 genes showed significant change in expression pattern upon arsenate (AsV) exposure. The genes belonged to various signaling pathways including hormones (jasmonate, abscisic acid (ABA), auxin and ethylene) and kinases. Significant effects were also noticed on genes of sulfur, nitrogen, CHO, and lipid metabolisms along with photosynthesis. These studies indicated interconnections among sulfur metabolism, jasmonate and kinase signaling pathways. Transcriptome results and biochemical analyses highlight that signaling and metabolic pathways work in a dynamic coordination to perceive and respond to the stress. A set of 53939 sequences, which include EST and nucleotide sequences of Brassica sp., were downloaded from GenBank. These sequences were subjected to clustering and analyzed using CAP3/tgicl program and other in-house tools. A set of 26881 non-redundant sequences was created, which was used for probe design. This set included 1720 Brassica juncea, 15259 Brassica napus and 5075 Brassica rapa sequences; and 6456 from other species. Probes were designed for the non-redundant sequences using Agilent eArray tool. Best probe composition algorithm with the option to design multiple probes for each sequence was the main criteria used for the probe design. AgilentM-bM-^@M-^Ys 4x44 array was selected to print the oligos. A set of positive and negative controls were also added on to the microarray chip. A set of replicate probes were also added for calculating the intra-array reproducibility. The quantity and purity of the RNA was determined by absorbance at 260 nm and 260/280 absorbance ratio respectively. Each of the total RNA preparations was individually assessed for RNA quality based on the 28S/18S ratio and RIN measured on an Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer system using the RNA 6000 Nano LabChip Kit .With the use of AgilentM-bM-^@M-^Ys 1-Color Quick Amp Labeling Kit, 500 ng of high quality total RNA was denatured in the presence of a T7 promoter primer and a 1-Color RNA Spike-In Kit. Reverse transcriptase was used to reverse-transcribe the mRNA. cDNA was used as a template for in vitro transcription where a T7 RNA polymerase simultaneously amplified target material and incorporated cyanine 3-labeled CTP. Labeled cRNA was purified using spin columns from the Qiagen RNeasy Mini Kit and the quantity and quality of the cRNA was determined by Nanodrop ND-1000 UV-VIS spectrophotometer. With the use of AgilentM-bM-^@M-^Ys Gene Expression Hybridization Kit, 1.65 M-BM-5g of cyanine 3-labeled linearly amplified cRNA was added to a hybridization cocktail and then fragmented. The hybridization cocktail was then dispensed into the wells of gasket slides on top of which a Brassica 4x44K Gene Expression Microarray was placed. This microarray M-bM-^@M-^\sandwichM-bM-^@M-^] was then sealed in a hybridization chamber. The microarrays were hybridized at 65M-BM-0C rotating at 10 RPMs for 17 hours. Slides were washed in AgilentM-bM-^@M-^Ys Gene Expression Wash Buffers according to manufacturer specifications. The microarrays were scanned on the Agilent Microarray Scanner. Scanner data extraction and analysis was performed using Agilent Technologies Feature Extraction software version 10.7.3.1.Microarray data quality was evaluated by reviewing ten standard QC metrics generated by the Feature Extraction Software [Consult the Agilent Technologies Feature Extraction Software version 10.7.3.1 reference guide for a full explanation of the QC metrics]. To determine if there was a large hybridization, staining, or wash artifacts, a visual examination of each array was performed by loading the array image into Feature Extraction Software. Microarrays were determined to be free of any large artifacts (M-bM-^IM-% 10% of total surface area) that could have affected the quality of the data.
