Project description:The aim of the experiment is to determine the sequences of binding sites on RNA transcripts that are interacting with the protein KIFC1 during cell division (here, pro metaphase). In addition to the sequence of the binding sites, we are interested in their genomic localisation (annotation) and in which region of the transcripts they are found (CDS, introns, UTRs, etc ...).
Project description:B2 cells were purified from spleen by CD19 Microbeads. B1 cells were purified from peritoneal cavity lavage by CD19 microbeads, followed by a depletion of CD23+ cells. RNA was prepared and differential gene expression analysis performed.
Project description:Comparison of total RNA isolated from ASML and ASML CD44v knockdown exosomes; and RNA from untreated B12 lymph node stroma cells vs. cells treated for 24h with ASML wt or ASML CD44v kd exosomes The array consists of 12 samples. Samples 1-3 consist of total RNA from exosomes derived from ASML cells; samples 4-6 : total RNA from exosomes derived from ASML CD44v knockdown cell; samples 7,8 are total RNA from untreated B12 lymph node stroma cells; samples 9,10 are RNA from B12 cells treated for 24h with ASML wt exosomes and samples 11, 12 are RNA from B12 cells treated with ASML CD44v kd exosomes
Project description:This SuperSeries is composed of the following subset Series: GSE34737: Comparative analysis of mRNA expression in untreated lymph node stroma cells and upon treatment with exosomes derived from ASMLwt, ASML cd44v knockdown cells. GSE34738: Characterization of exosomes from highly metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma line: ASML and a CD44v kd of ASML based on their miRNA content Refer to individual Series
Project description:Eight-week-old male mice (C57BL/6N) were randomly subjected to isolated thoracotomy (ITH) or transaortic banding (TAC). Healthy littermates were used as controls. Mice were sacrificed after 2 weeks, 4 weeks , and 6 weeks. All mice were assessed by echocardiography. Animals were fed ad libitum with Rod 16-A (LASvendi) and housed in a specific pathogen free environment as previously described. Microarray and metabolic panales were performed for all animals.
Project description:Exososmes, potent intercellular communicators, are supposed to contribute to metastasis formation, which we confirmed for exosomes of the metastatic rat pancreatic adenocarcinoma line BSp73ASML that promote metastatic settlement in lymph nodes and lung of poorly metastatic BSp73ASML cells with a selective CD44v4-v7 (BSp73ASML-CD44vkd) knockdown. To define the molecular pathway(s), whereby exosomes contribute to premetastatic niche preparation, we profiled mRNA miRNA of BSp73ASMLwt and BSp73ASML-CD44vkd- exosomes and evaluated the impact on potential target cells. BSp73ASML exosomes are recovered in the draining lymph node after subcutaneous injection. In vitro, they preferentially bind and are taken-up by lymph node stroma cells (LnStr) and lung fibroblasts (LuFb) that were chosen as exosome targets. BSp73ASMLwt and BSp73ASML-CD44kd exosomes contain a restricted repertoire of mRNA and miRNA, hwere the lattter differe significantly between the two lines and even more pronounced, exosomes derived thereof with a not yet explored dominance of tumor-suppressor miRNA in ASML-CD44kd cells and exosomes. Both, exosomal mRNA and miRNA are recovered in target cells and exosome-uptake is accompanied by significant changes in gene expression. We didn't observe a correlation between exosomal mRNA and changes in target cell mRNA or proteins. Instead transferred miRNA significantly affected target cell mRNA translation as demonstrated for selected, most abundant ASML exosomal miRNA besides others, miR-494 known target MAL (myelin and lymphocytes protein)/cadherin17, and miR-542-3p which targets TRAF/cadherin17. Furthermore, MMP transcription suggested to accompany cadherin17 dwon-regulation was upregulated in miR-494 or miR542-3p transfected or exosome co-cultured LnStr. Taken together, tumor exosomes target in vivo non-transformed cells in premetastatic organs. Exosome uptake induced altered target celll gene expression is strongly promoted by exosomal miRNA where we demonstrate for the first time that exosomes/exosomal miRNA from a metastasizing tumor line can modulate stroma cells from premetastatic organs. Endothelial cells lines were treated with pancreatic adenocarcinoma (AS) derived exosomes or pancreatic adenocarcinoma derived exosomes expressing tetraspanin 8. Total RNA was isolated and used to perform the Agilent gene expression microarrays. In this assay a replicate of endothelial cell lines treated with ASTspan8 were also included. Moreover, total RNA from both base line expression of endothelial cells and rat endothelial fibroblasts were also used to perfrom gene expression microarrays. RNA isolated from Rat endothelial fibroblasts treated with the exosomes derived from rat pancreatic adenocarcinoma and exosomes derived from rat pancreatic adenocarcinoma expressing tetraspanin8 were individually used to perfrom gene expression microarrays. RNA isolated from exosomes derived from rat pancreatic adenocarcinoma cell lines expressing tetraspanin were used to peform gene expresiion to see the base line expression. Another replicate were also used. RNA isolated from base line or control of rat pancreatic adenocarcinoma wild type cells and also base line RNA isolated from rat pancreatic adenocarcinoma cells lines where CD44 was knock-down.
