ABSTRACT: Transcriptome analyses of RNA from C33a cells after induction of CRPV E2 expression by doxycycline C33a cells were established that carry the doxycycline-inducible pRTS-CRPV E2 vector. We analyzed 3 biological replicates (induced/uninduced) using the Affymetrix Human Exon 1.0 ST platform.
Project description:Knockdown of HSPA9 causes a dose-dependent decrease in erythroid maturation of CD34+ cells differentiated in culture. Due to differences in the degree of differentiation, a more homogeneous population was selected for using FACS and the gene expression profile of these cells was compared. We used a lentiviral vector (pLKO.1) expressing short hairpin RNAs targeting either luciferase (control shLUC) or HSPA9 (shHSPA9-433) to knock down expression of HSPA9. We isolated CD34+ cells from human cord blood (Day 0), transduced cells with a lentiviral vector (Day 1), selected for transduced cells with puromycin and differentiated them in erythroid culture media before FACS isolation of the CD34+/CD71- population (Day 5). Four independent CD34+ populations were isolated, differentiated and sorted for biologic replicates.
Project description:To identify genes whose expression is regulated by Fosb gene products in microglia, we performed microarray analysis using RNA prepared from wild-type and fosB-null microglial cells. Microarray analysis revealed that expression levels of 6 genes are altered in primary cultured microglial cells prepared from fosB-null mice compared with wild type. fosB+/G mice with a null-mutant allele, fosBG, were established and maintained by backcrossing to C57BL/6J. To yield homozygous mutant mice, fosB+/G (N20 generation) mice were intercrossed. C57BL/6J mice were used as wild-type control.
Project description:During early development before gonadal differentiation, sex chromosomes are the main difference between males and females. We examined any genetically driven sex dimorphisms in human pluripotent stem cells focusing on Y chromosome contribution. In order to understand the consequence of these differences, human ES cells were differentiated into EBs under the influence of Estrone (E1) and the global expression diffrences between male and females were examined. Male and female ES cells were differentiated by EB formation under E1 for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix GENE ST 1.0 microarrays (GPL6244). RNA was extracted at 0d 3d and 11d
Project description:Rat mast cell line RBL-2H3 was analyzed to investigate the molecular mechanism of Dectin-1-mediated activation and responses of mast cells. Dectin-1-mediated signaling stimulated characteristic gene expression, such as MCP-1, IL-4, IL-13, TNF-αand Nfkbiz. RBL-2H3 cell line stably expressing Dectin-1 was established. Non-stimulated cells (control) compared to Dectin-1-stimulated (Curdlan) cells in order to comfirm Dectin-1-mediated signaling-inducible genes. Dectin-1-stimulated cells compared to Syk inhibitor R406-pretreated cells in order to examine the importance of Syk for Dectin-1-mediated gene up-regulations.
Project description:CD14+ human monocytes differentiating into DCs in the presence of IL4 and GM-CSF were treated with agonists for RXR and its partners or vehicle 18 hours after plating (experiment with RXR and permissive partners, donor 1-3) or 14 hours after plating (experiment with nonpermissive partners, donor 4-6). Cells were harvested 12 hours thereafter. Experiments were performed in biological triplicates representing samples from three different donors. In this study all probable RXR-signaling pathways induced by agonists for RXR, LXRs, PPARs, RAR and VDR were identified in differentiating human monocyte-derived dendritic cells. In the experiments, differentiating dendritic cells were treated for 12 hours with one of the following compounds (ligands): vehicle (DMS:EtOH 1:1) LG268 (RXR agonist) 9-cis retinoic acid (9cisRA, agonist of RAR and RXR) GW3965 (LXRalpha/beta panagonist) rosiglitazone (RSG, PPARgamma agonist) GW1516 (PPARdelta agonist) AM580 (RARalpha agonist) 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (VDR agonist)
Project description:To get a more complete picture of the transcriptional changes associated with Pdx1 loss in ?-cells, we conducted an mRNA microarray comparing normal islet ?-cells and a-cells to the reprogrammed cells from PKO mice. Islet beta cells are from mice which has a single copy of Pdx1 flox (Pdx1L/+) allele, but is considered normal based on normal islet morphology, gene profiling, and euglycemic status. We chose to use heterozygous mice as control to avoid the litter effect. Islet alpha cells are from normal mice. To enrich for genes directly affected by Pdx1 loss, we chose the early time-point for analysis of PKO mice (5d after TAM administration). Control mRNA profiling was performed on FACS sorted islet YFP+ ?-cells and a-cells obtained from 2 month-old glucagon-Cre; RosaYFP and RIP-CreER; Pdx1fl/+, RosaYFP mice, respectively.
Project description:Study the global genes expression in mouse aorta endothelial cells (MAECs) overexpressing human catalase (hcatTg). The wild type and overexpressing human catalase (hcatTg) MAECs grown to 80% confluence in six-well plates were made quiescent in serum-free DMEM for 12 h and then cultured in 10% FBS DMEM for 12 h. Total RNA was extracted with Trizol® reagent and purified by Rneasy Mini kit. Two independent wild type and two hcatTg total RNA samples were performed microarray with GeneChip® Mouse gene 1.0 ST array (Affymetrix, USA).
Project description:Overexpression of high mobility group AT-hook 2 (HMGA2) associated with truncations of its 3’ untranslated region (UTR) with let-7 micro RNA-complementary sequences have been identified in patients with paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH). Here, we generated transgenic mice (∆Hmga2 mice) with a 3’UTR-trncated Hmga2 cDNA that overexpress Hmga2 mRNA and protein in hematopoietic organs. ∆Hmga2 mice showed proliferative hematopoiesis that mimicked a myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN)-like phenotype with increased numbers of all lineages of peripheral blood cells, hypercellular bone marrow (BM), splenomegaly with extramedullary erythropoiesis, and erythropoietin-independent erythroid colony formation compared to wild-type mice. ∆Hmga2 BM-derived cells took over most of hematopoiesis in competitive repopulations during serial BM transplants. When we bred mice with circulating PNH cells (Piga- mice) with ∆Hmga2 mice, the lack of GPI-linked proteins did not add an additional clonal advantage to the ∆Hmga2+ cells. In summary, our results showed that the overexpression of a 3’UTR-truncated Hmga2 leads to a proliferative hematopoiesis with clonal advantage, which may explain clonal expansion in PNH or MPN at the level of HSC. Eight independent preparations of RNA, which included each 2 samples of KLS cells and MEP cells from ∆Hmga2 mice and 2 each from WT mice. Each preparation was made from 4 or 6 mice.

Project description:A total of 58 genes were up-regulated (> 1.5 fold-change) while 117 genes were down-regulated Microarray experiments were performed in duplicate as follows: MDA-MB-468 cells were transduced with lentiviral shRNA targeting endogenous p53-R273H mutant (p53si-1)or a non-targeting shRNA (NS). Total RNA from cells was extracted using Qiagen RNA isolation kit (Qiagen, Valencia, CA, USA) according to the manufacturersâ protocol. RNA purity was examined by spectrophotometric determination at 260/280 nm. The microarray hybridizations were carried out using the Affymetrix Human Gene 1.0 ST arrays.
