Moniliophthora perniciosa is a hemibiotrophic fungus that causes witches' broom disease (WBD) in cacao. Marked dimorphism characterizes this fungus, showing a monokaryotic or biotrophic phase that causes disease symptoms and a later dikaryotic or saprotrophic phase. A combined strategy of DNA microarray, expressed sequence tag, and real-time reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction analyses was employed to analyze differences between these two fungal stages in vitro. In all, 1,131 putativ ...[more]

Project description:At implantation the endometrium undergoes dramatic modifications necessary for its physical interactions with the trophoblast as well as the development of the conceptus. We aim to identify endometrial factors and pathways essential for a successful implantation in the caruncular [C] and the intercaruncular [IC] areas in cattle. Using a bovine oligo-array, expression profiles were established at day 20 of the estrous cycle or pregnancy (implantation) showing 446 and 1295 differentially expressed genes (DEG) in [C] and [IC] areas respectively. The impact of the conceptus was higher on the immune response function in [C] but more prominent on the regulation of metabolism function in [IC].

Project description:Global gene expression patterns of 91 human hepatocellular carcinomas (HCC) were analyzed to define the molecular characteristics of the tumors and to test the prognostic value of the expression profiles. Total RNAs were isolated from frozen liver tissue using CsCl density gradient centrifugation methods. Total RNA from 18 normal livers were pooled and used as reference in entire microarray experiments. To obtain gene expression profile data from human HCC, 20 μg of total RNAs from tissues were used to drive fluorescently (Cy-5 or Cy-3) labeled cDNA. At least two hybridizations were carried out for each tissue using dye-swap strategy to eliminate dye labeling bias. Unsupervised classification methods revealed two distinctive subclasses of HCC that are highly associated with survival of the patients. This association was validated by five independent supervised learning methods. Genes most strongly associated with survival were identified by using the Cox proportional hazards survival analysis. This approach identified a limited number of genes that accurately predicted the length of survival and provides new molecular insight into the pathogenesis of HCC. Tumors from the low survival subclass have strong cell proliferation and anti-apoptosis gene expression signatures. In addition, the low survival subclass displayed higher expression of genes involved in ubiquitination and histone modification suggesting an etiological involvement of these processes in accelerating the progression of HCC. The biological differences identified in the HCC subclasses should provide an attractive source for the development of therapeutic targets (e.g. HIF1a) for selective treatment(s) of HCC patients.

Project description:Description This series contains microarrays for tumor associated macrophages (TAMs) purified from 8 week old male C57/BL6N mice, 3 weeks after tumor implantation into the left hind limb. Peritoneal exudates cells (PECs) were also harvested from control C57/BL6N mice. The resulting adherent populations were maintained in culture and resting TAMs and PECs were treated for 4 hours with 100 ng/mL of LPS to promote macrophage activation. RNA isolation and cDNA microarrays: Total RNA was isolated from approximately 20x10e6 PEC and TAM cells using standard Trizol purification protocols (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA). Microarrays were manufactured at the NCI, Laboratory of Molecular Technology (Frederick MD). The 10,368 Mm UniGem2 set was printed on poly-lysine coated glass slides and hybridized according to NCI facility protocols. All slides were scanned using as Axon GenePix 4000 scanner (Axon Instruments, Foster city, CA) and resulting data was uploaded for analysis to the mAdb microarray database (http://madb.nci.nih.gov/).

Project description:Comparisons between untreated primary cells T-cell precursors from the thymus. CD69- thymocytes are from Zap70-deficent mice and are >95% CD4+CD8+. These cells fail to generate intrathymic TCR signals as a result of their lacking Zap70 molecules, and are thus representative of "preselection" CD4+CD8+ thymocytes. The CD69hi population comes from wildtype mice and is heterogeneous for CD4 and CD8 expression. These cells have been intrathymically TCR-signaled and are undergoing selection.

Project description:The sexual stages are vital phases in malaria parasite transmission and are the targets of various interventions such as transmission blocking vaccines. The molecular mechanisms underlying sexual development, however, remain poorly understood. We report mappping of a determinant previously linked to a male gametocyte development defect in the P. falciparum Dd2 parasite to an 82 kb region on chromosome 12. In order to find a critical gene in this region, we compared gene expression pattern in sexual stage of the parasite between Dd2 and its normal gametocyte-producing ancestor W2 clones. The region contains a sexual stage specific gene (pfmdv 1) that is expressed substantially at a lower level in the Dd2 than in W2 parasite. Disruption of pfmdv 1 results in a dramatic reduction in mature gametocytes, especially male gametocytes, with the majority of sexually committed parasites arrested at stage-I. The pfmdv-1 knockout parasites show an enlarged nucleus, often with separation of the inner and outer nuclear membranes and presence of multi-membrane vesicles in red blood cell cytoplasm. Mosquito infectivity of the knockout parasites is also greatly reduced, but not completely lost, suggesting presence of compensatory mechanisms in the sexual development pathways. Data include Day 8 gametocytes of male defective Dd2 and parental W2 clones of Plasmodium falciparum. The series includes three biological repeats. Keywords: repeat sample

Project description:Genetically modified mice have been extensively used for analyzing the molecular events that occur during the tumor development. However, in many cases, if not all, it is uncertain to what extent the mouse models reproduce features observed in the corresponding human conditions. This is due largely to lack of precise methods for direct and comprehensive comparison at the molecular level of the mouse and human tumors. We used global gene expression patterns of 68 hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) from 7 different mouse models and 91 human HCC from pre-defined subclasses to obtain direct comparison of the molecular features of mouse and human HCC. Total RNAs were isolated from frozen liver tissue using CsCl density gradient centrifugation methods. Total RNA from the livers of 10 wild type mice were pooled and used as reference in entire microarray experiments. To obtain gene expression profile data from four transgenic HCC mouse models, 20 μg of total RNAs from tissues were used to drive fluorescently (Cy-5 or Cy-3) labeled cDNA. At least two hybridizations were carried out for each tissue using dye-swap strategy to eliminate dye labeling bias.

Project description:The Notch signaling is an evolutionarily conserved signal transduction cascade that plays essential roles in a variety of developmental processes. In this study, we examined the mib mutants for defects in pancreas development using in situ hybridization and GFP expression analysis of pancreas-specific GFP lines, and carried out the global gene expression profile analysis of three different mib mutantalleles. Global expression profile analysis showed that there is a significant difference in gene expression profile of wild type and three mib mutant alleles. There are 91 differentially expressed genes that are common to all three mib alleles. Through detailed analysis of microarray data we have identified several previously characterized genes and some putative Notch-responsive genes involved in pancreas development, and validated theirexpression profile using real-time PCR and in situ hybridization. We propose that this study provides a useful resource of global gene expressionprofile in mib mutants, which will be helpful in identifying the function of novel genes involved in Notch signaling and Notch-responsive genesinvolved in a variety of developmental processes. Keywords: comparison of global gene expression in mib mutant and wild type embryos All samples were analysed on Zebrafish microarray chips generated at the Genome Institute of Singapore

Project description:Juvenile gilthead sea bream of 10-15 g initial body weight were randomly distributed in eight 500-L tanks in a seawater re-circulatory system equipped with physical and biological filters, and a heat-unit system that maintained water temperature above 18-19 ºC. Fish grew from July to December at a density of 8-10 kg/m3 with an overall daily growth index of 1.9 ± 0.01. Extruded pellets (47 % protein, 21% lipid; Proaqua, Palencia, Spain) were offered to visual satiety. Feeding was stopped one day before confinement exposure, and batches of 10 fish were then transferred from two 500-L tanks to cylinder net baskets of 10-L volume (117-123 Kg/m3), suspended each one in 90-L tanks with a high flow of seawater (10 L/min) to avoid water deterioration (Oxygen > 5 ppm; unionised ammonia < 0.02 mg/L). Fish from seven additional 500-L tanks were established as control groups, and remained undisturbed prior to sampling at zero and each sampling time. At each sampling time (1.5, 3, 6, 24, 72 and 120 h), eight fish from one control and one confinement tank were netted into a bucket to be anaesthetized with 0.1 g/L 3-aminobenzoic acid ethyl ester (MS-222). Fish were killed by cervical section and liver was taken, frozen immediately in liquid nitrogen and stored at -80 ºC until RNA isolation. Only 6h, 72h and 120h were analysed on the microarray. The experimental design was a reference design with the reference being prepared from a pool of all (confined and control) RNAs used in the microarray analysis. All samples were hybridised twice (except L72C5R, L120C2F, L120S4F, L24C4F) with one being the dye swap of the other. Keywords: Time Course 72 samples
