Project description:Control rat lacrimal gland samples representing a normal unoperated, a sham, and paired contralateral controls. Experimental LG samples representing paired and unpaired contralateral controls. Paired contralateral control LGs represent LG from the same animal, one side was operated and the other side unoperated. Keywords: repeat sample
Project description:P300 and P720 C57BL6/J male mice were exposed to ethanol vapor (95% w/v) for 3 hours each day for a total of 5 days. Blood alcohol levels in the ethanol treated animals was 3.0mg/ml. Controls at P300 and P720 were included. Keywords: SAGE-dose response
Project description:Effect of ethanol or nicotine exposure on gene expression compared to control. Duplicate arrays from ethanol or nicotine treated animals compared with triplicate arrays from paired control animals. In total 4 treatment arrays (2 ethanol, 2 nicotine) and 3 control arrays (from control animals treated in parallel with ethanol-treated fish and nicotine-treated fish.)
Project description:We report the gene expression profiles of tomato seedlings and fruits treated with or without ethanol under heat stress conditions.
Project description:We have previously shown that fed-batch processes with the longest uncoupling phase (ethanol adapted) were characterized by induction of storage carbohydrates, a metabolic event typical of yeast cells experiencing nutrient limitation, at the onset of this phase, whereas this metabolic event was not seen in processes with a short uncoupling phase (ethanol non adapted culture). Taken together, our results suggested that reproducible high bioethanol performance in aerated fed-batch process may be linked to the ability of yeast cells to impede ethanol toxicity by triggering a metabolic remodelling reminiscent to that of cells entering a quiescent G0/G1 state. The aim of this study was to search for genes implicated in the induction an ethanol adapted culture vs ethanol non-adapted culture.
Project description:This is the microRNA experiment from the study of ethanol effects on the cultured cell line MCF-7, which is derived from a human malignancy. Cells were cultured in 6 well plates for a period of 4 weeks in the presence or absence of 25 mM ethanol. Cells were washed once with phosphate buffered saline pH 7.4, and RNA was extracted using the Mirvana kit for total RNA extraction. RNA samples were analyzed for microRNA prevalence by LC Sciences of Houston, Tx, USA. The results from 2 separate experiments were normalized and collected as the MultiArray Analysis Data presented here. The miR values are on an arbitrary scale. There are 2 experiments, each containing a control (no ethanol) sample and a sample that was exposed to 25 mM ethanol for 4 weeks.
Project description:The yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae is well known for its high ethanol production performances. An original fermentation process that allows the yeast S. cerevisiae to produce in less than 45 h more than 150 g/l ethanol (i.e. 18.9°GL) was set up in our laboratory [1]. Under this condition, the yeast cells induce a dynamic process to adapt to increased ethanol concentration by a mechanism that is likely different to the stress response triggered by sudden ethanol addition to exponentially growing cells [2]. Kinetic analysis of the growth curve identified two main phases: a growth phase that ended up at 90 g/l ethanol and then an uncoupling phase during which non-growing cells kept producing ethanol. This latter phase is also characterized with an increased loss of viability. In order to investigate on a genome scale the expression changes occurring during this process, gene expression was quantified using DNA chips technology at six different time-points during fed-batch fermentation. [1] Alfenore et al, Appl. Microbiol. Biotechnol. 60 : 67-72, 2002. [2] Alexandre H. et al., FEBS Lett. 498(1) : 98-103, 2001. We measure the changes in the gene expression of ethanol stressed culture at five different time-points during fed-batch fermentation compared to a common reference consisting of exponentially growing yeast cells ( sample number 1 : growing cells ; low ethanol concentration of 17 g/l ; specific growth rate of 0.3 h-1) . The sets corresponded to sample number 2 : growing cells/ethanol concentration of 60 g/l ; sample number 3 : before growth arrest/ethanol concentration of 90 g/l ; sample number 4 : growth arrest/ethanol concentration of 95 g/l ; sample number 5 : 1 hour after growth arrest/ethanol concentration of 100 g/l and sample number 6 : uncoupling phase/ethanol concentration of 125 g/l. For each sample, total RNAs from one yeast culture (no biological replicate) were extracted three times (technical replicates -extract). For labelling, we labelled the common reference with dCTP-Cy5 and labelled the sample with dCTP-Cy3 and hybridized cDNA on three independent microarrays, given rise to six data value per gene (each gene is duplicate in the slide).
