Project description:The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between gene expression profiles of ex vivo 2 Gy radiated lymphocytes and the development of acute and late toxicity due to hyperfractionated dose-escalation radiation therapy schedule in patientes with advanced breast cancer. The gene expression profiles of ex vivo non-radiated lymphocytes were also examined. Keywords: Toxicity grade analysis. Twelve patients were analyzed. No replicates of each patient was assesed. Human RNA universal control (Stratagene) was used as reference.

Project description:Identification of target transcripts for the putative chloroplast RNA binding protein CFM2 in Zea mays. CFM2 was immunoprecipitated from a chloroplast extract. Chloroplast extracts were prepared from WT tissue. RNA from the pellet and from the supernatant for each pulldown was labelled with different fluoro-dyes and hybridized onto an array covering the complete maize chloroplast genome. Messages enriched in the immunoprecipitate from WT tissue are likely targets for CFM2.

Project description:Otitis media, pneumonia, sinusitis and as well as severe diseases such as meningitis and bacteraemia are related to biofilm-like diseases, in which Streptococcus pneumoniae demonstrated differential and tissue specific gene expressions. In this study, we reported the differential gene expression profile of early in vitro biofilm and planktonic cell in c-DNA microarray analysis. The microarray analysis was performed on total RNA extracted from biofilms grown in 24-well microtiter plate and mid-log grown planktonic cells. To validate the results of microarray, real-time RT-PCR was performed on 13 differentially expressed genes and one constitutively expressed gene from six different functional groups. cDNA-microarray analyses indicated 89 genes that were significantly differentially expressed in biofilm and planktonic cells. Among total differentially expressed gene, almost 50% were hypothetical genes. Of the 46 protein coding genes, 34 showed up-regulation and 16 showed down-regulation in biofilm. The functional annotation showed that many functional categories were differentially regulated in biofilm and planktonic cells, such as genes involve in purine, pyrimidine nucleotide metabolism, RNA/DNA metabolism, amino acid transport and metabolism, translation, transporter protein, carbohydrate transport and metabolism, cell wall biosynthesis, isoprenoid biosynthesis, transcription regulator and cellular process. Streptococcus pneumoniae R6 strain used in this is an unencapsulated and avirulent strain derived from encapsulated serotype 2 pathogenic strain D39. In vitro biofilm formation was carried out in 24-well, flat-bottom, polystyrene microtiter plate (BD falcon, MD, USA) in static model. S. pneumoniae grown up to mid-logarithmic phase in TSB medium was diluted 1:100 with fresh sterile TSB medium supplied with 1% glucose, inoculated 1.5 mL in 24-well microtiter plate and, incubated for 15 hours at 37M-BM-0C in 5% CO2. After incubation medium was discarded, and the plates were gently washed three times with 1.5 mL sterile, cold phosphate buffer saline (PBS). Adherent cell were scraped and immediately processed for RNA extraction. For planktonic cells RNA extraction, five ml of mid-logarithmic phase cell suspension was pelleted by centrifugation and wash three times with sterile PBS and immediately processed for RNA extraction. All experiments were performed in triplicate (3 independent biological replicates)

Project description:Variations in gene content and sequence that could be associated with symbiotic adaptations of the ectomycorrhizal fungus Paxillus involutus were investigated by analyses of strains showing various abilities to form mycorrhiza. Five strains of Paxillus involutus (ATCC 200175, Maj; Nau, Pi01SE, and Pi08BE) and one strain of Paxillus filamentosus (Pf01De) were analyzed by comparative genomic hybridizations using cDNA microarrays. Two batches of arrays were used containing 1,076 unique fungal reporters. DNA was prepared from each strain, and after fragmentation and labelling used for dual-label microarray hybridizations. The experimental design includes 16 arrays (CGH_01 -- CGH_16), of which 12 arrays represent dye-swapped and direct contrasts between the sample strains and the reference strain ATCC 200175. Two arrays represent dye-swapped self-self hybridizations of the reference strain ATCC 200175 (CGH_01 and CGH_02). The remaining two arrays represent dye-swapped and direct contrasts between the sample strains Maj and Nau (CGH_06 and CGH_07).

Project description:Genetic variation is responsible for the generation of phenotypic diversity, including susceptibility to disease. Two major types of variation are known: single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and a more recently discovered structural variation, involving changes in copy number (CNVs) of kilobase- to megabase-sized chromosomal segments. Variation caused by CNVs has exceeded the amount of SNP-based differences expected to exist between two unrelated humans. Furthermore, many CNVs have been associated with disease predisposition. It is unknown whether CNVs arise in somatic cells, but it is, however, generally assumed that normal cells are genetically identical. Here we show that CNVs are frequent in healthy somatic cells of adult humans. We tested 34 tissue samples from three subjects and, having analyzed for each tissue <10-6 of all cells expected in an adult human, we observed at least six CNVs, affecting a single organ or one or more tissues of the same subject. The CNVs ranged from 82-176 kb, often encompassing known genes, potentially affecting gene function. Our results point to a paradigm shift in the genetics of somatic cells and indicate that humans are commonly affected by somatic mosaicism for stochastic CNVs, which occur in a substantial fraction of cells. A considerable number of phenotypes and diseases affecting humans are a consequence of a somatic process. Thus, our conclusions will be important for the delineation of genetic factors behind these phenotypes. Consequently, biobanks should consider sampling multiple tissues in order to better address mosaicism in the studies of somatic disorders. Furthermore, forensic medicine laboratories should be sensitized to the issue of underestimated frequency of somatic CNV mosaicism. Keywords: copy number variation (CNV), phenotype diversity, somatic cells 31 experiments; each experiment consists of two hybridizations, i.e. regular and dye-swap (62 hybridizations in total); cerebellum from corresponding subject was used as a reference; additionally 12 control self-self hybridizations are included (cerrebellum vs self)
