ABSTRACT: Explore the genome-scale phage–host interactions across different developmental infection stages Samples were taken from the PA3 Lysates infected with phage Pap3 at six internal time (0,5,10,20,30,80min). Three independent experiments were performed at each timme except for 80min without biological replicate.
Project description:Differentially expressed genes in the skin tissue of newborn Hu sheep were screened using an Agilent gene chip and RT-PCR. Differential expression analysis revealed 3 groups of large waves and small waves; 1067, 2071, and 3879 differentially expressed genes; and 137 genes common to all 3 groups. Differentially expressed genes were classified using gene ontology. They were found to be mainly involved in cell differentiation, proliferation, apoptosis, growth, immune response, and ion transport. RT-PCR results of 4 differentially expressed genes were consistent with gene chip results. Combined with related literature, our results suggest that BMP7, MMP2, SNAI1, SFXN1, CDKNIC, MT3, and POU1F1 may have important effects on the formation of large-wave and small-wave hair follicles. The samples collected with three full-sib individual and they borned at two days, what's more they were from the same paternal, each pair of big wave and small wave individuals from the same female parent.
Project description:Global expression profiles in Huh7 after infection with Lv-shMEF2D and Lv-scrambled, as well as transfection with siRNA-MEF2D and siRNA-control, were compared to investigate the molecular mechanisms involved in MEF2D-mediated regulation of cell cycle. In order to investigate the molecular mechanisms involved in MEF2D-mediated regulation of cell cycle, we assessed gene expression profiles in Huh7 cells after infection with Lv-shMEF2D and Lv-scrambled, as well as transfection with siRNA-MEF2D and siRNA-control, by cDNA microarray. Analysis of global mRNA expression profile indicated a shift toward G2/M arrest in the cells after downregulating MEF2D expression. The genes that inhibit G2/M transition were found to be expressed in high level in MEF2D-downregulated group, as compared with control group. Meanwhile, mRNA abundance of G2/M transition-promoting genes, except CDC2 and CDC25C, was reduced when MEF2D expression was depressed in Huh7 cells
Project description:To identify miRNAs differentially expressed in cholangiocarcinoma,3 human cholangiocarcinoma and their corresponding normal bile duct tissues were obtained from 3 patients after operation with postoperative pathological diagnosed perihilar or distal biliary cholangiocarcinoma miRNAs expression in human cholangiocarcinoma/normal bile duct samples was measured after operation.Three independent experiments were performed using different patients for each experiment.
Project description:To investigate SFB-host interactions and the host response to SFB, we compared gene expression profiles in terminal ileal mucosa collected from 5 SFB-positive and 5-negative age-matched patients identified from SFB PCR. We observed that 472 genes were different between the two groups (P < 0.05). Among them, 290 genes were up-regulated and 182 were down-regulated. GO biological pathway analysis of up-regulated genes revealed positive regulation of T-cell differentiation and activation pathways were enhanced (P < 0.001), suggesting that SFB colonization stimulated the human immune system, specifically T-cell maturation. Indeed, enhanced expression of Cd3e, Ifng, IL10, Foxp3 was observed in terminal ileal mucosa of 5 SFB-positive patients. To find immune-related genes significantly expressed (p < 0.05) between SFB-positive and -negative
Project description:Purpose: We aimed to investigate the effect of several anti-leukemia drugs in combination with decitabine (DAC) on the proliferation of myeloid leukemia cells in vitro and in vivo, to select the most efficient combination group and explore associated mechanisms of these combination therapies. Experimental Design: After comparing with five anti-leukemia drugs in several different kinds of cell lines, the combination effect of idarubicin (IDA) with DAC was best. In vivo, by using microPET, TUNEL, and transmission electron microscopy, the inhibitory effects obtained by sequentially combining DAC with IDA, evidenced by evaluating tumor cell proliferation and cell apoptosis. Molecular studies were conducted using gene chip, which was used to explore associated pathways, and real-time quantitative reverse transcription-PCR, western blot and immunohistochemistry (IHC), used to assess regulation of Wnt/β-catenin pathway. Results: The sequential combination of DAC and IDA showed synergistic induction of cell death in U937, HEL, SKM-1 and cells isolated from AML patients. Importantly, the inhibition of tumor growth in the sequential combination group was found to be significantly higher than that of single drug group or control group in vivo. Moreover, sequential treatment with DAC and IDA induced apoptosis and depression of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway in both culture and animal studies. Conclusions: Our findings showed that sequentially combining decitabine with idarubicin had a synergistic anti-leukemia effect. These findings were attributed to demethylation of Wnt pathway inhibitors and downregulation of Wnt pathway nuclear targets observed in vitro and in vivo.

Project description:we characterized the rice alkaline tolerant mutant, alt1. Map-based cloning revealed that alt1 harbors a mutation in a putative chromatin remodeling ATPase gene. ALT1-RNAi transgenic plants mimicked the alt1 phenotype, exhibiting tolerance to alkali stress in a transcript dosage-dependent manner. We found that the predicted ALT1 protein belonged to the Ris1 subgroup of the Snf2 family and was localized in the nucleus. qRT-PCR analysis showed that ALT1 was predominantly expressed in leaf blades and sheaths, and that ALT1 transcription was rapidly suppressed after alkaline treatment. These results support the notion that ALT1 is a negative regulator of alkaline tolerance. Roots of two-leaf stage alt1 and WT seedlings grown under normal conditions were sampled for microarray analysis. The transcriptomic profiles were investigated using an Agilent-015241 Rice Gene Expression 4×44 K Microarray (Agilent Technology) containing 32,325 probes corresponding to cDNA, 6,934 probes corresponding to expressed sequence tags (ESTs), and 2,612 probes corresponding to gene predicted loci, respectively, with three independent biological replicates. Roots of two-leaf stage alt1 and WT seedlings grown under normal conditions were sampled for microarray analysis
Project description:CEBPB contributes to the migration of breast cancer cells. We used microarrays to detail the mechanism of CEBPB with downstream targets that drive breast cancer cell migration. CEBPB were overexpressed in MDA-MB231 cell for RNA extraction and hybridization on Agilent microarrays. We sought to obtain the mechanisms of CEBPB with downstream proteins that drive breast cancer cell migration.
Project description:Gadd45a can enhance somatic cell reprogramming significantly. To explore the roles of Gadd45a playing in reprogramming, we performed whole genome microarray to identify genes and signals pathways that regulated by Gadd45a. Genes expression of MEFs was measured at day8 in reprogramming. Three samples were set: MEFs infected with SKO plus Flag, MEFs infected with SKO plus Gadd45a and MEFs infected with SKO plus G39A which is a negative mutant of Gadd45a.
