ABSTRACT: The objective of the present study was to use our own fabricated bovine liver cDNA microarray to profile genome-wide expression patterns of genes in the liver of cow throughout pregnancy. Ten-microgram of pooled liver total RNA obtained from nonpregnant cycling cows was reverse transcribed in the presence of cyanine-3-fluorescent dye (Cy3)-conjugated dUTP (Amersham Pharmacia Biotech) by using Superscript II reverse transcriptase (Life Technologies, Rockville, MD) to yield Cy3 fluorescence-labeled control cDNA probe. Similarly, liver total RNA obtained from cows on days 19, 27, 49, 58, 150 and 245 of pregnancy was separately reverse transcribed in the presence of Cy5-conjugated dUTP by using Superscript II reverse transcriptase to yield Cy5 fluorescence-labeled test cDNA probe. After a 2-h reverse transcription reaction at 42oC, RNA was degraded by addition of 1.5 µl of an alkaline solution (1N NaOH / 20 mM EDTA), and neutralized by addition of 1.5 µl 1N HCl. The labeled control cDNA probe and test cDNA probe were then mixed and washed by centrifugation with TE (Tris-EDTA, pH 7.0) first and then with TE, 20 µg Salmon sperm DNA, 20 µg polyA and 20 µg yeast RNA in a Microcon YM-30 column (Millipore, Bedford, MA). The concentrated probe mix was adjusted with TE to a volume of 24.8 µl, denatured at 100oC for 2 min, spun for a few min and made to a final hybridization volume of 31 µl with 5.27 µl 20XSSC and 0.93 µl 10% SDS and kept at room temperature until used. Before hybridization, microarray glass slides were immersed in 0.2% SDS for 2 min followed by two washes each 2 min in autoclaved Milli Q water, and subjected to blocking in 180 ml of Methyl Pyrrolidinone (Aldrich) containing 2.7 g Succinic Anhydride (WAKO, Japan) and 15.3 ml 1M Boric acid (pH 8.0) solution for 20 min. Slides were then washed with autoclaved Milli Q water, and the spotted cDNA targets (microarray) were denatured in boiling water for 2 min. The slides were dehydrated in 100% ethanol for 2 min and air dried by spinning at a low speed. The mixture of labeled probes, for example, the control (Cy3) and test (Cy5), were then applied to the microarray, placed a cover slip carefully and incubated at 65oC for 14 – 16 h in a custom slide chamber with humidity maintained by a small reservoir of 3 x SSC. In addition, 3 - 6 µl of 3 x SSC was spotted at each corner of the slide, as far away from the array as possible. After incubation for 14 – 16 h at 65oC, the slides were washed in 2 x SSC / 0.03% SDS for 2 min, followed by washing in 2 x SSC, 1 x SSC and 0.2 x SSC, each for 2 min with gentle agitation, and air dried by spinning at a low speed. All hybridizations were performed in duplicate except those of days 19 and 27, where no reverse labeling was done. In addition, day 245 of pregnancy had three samples hybridized with two of them being labeled using the same dye combination and the other is reverse labeled. In the reverse labeling procedure, for example, the control liver cDNA and test liver cDNA, which had been first labeled with fluorescent dyes Cy3 and Cy5, respectively, were then labeled with Cy5 and Cy3, respectively. The microarray hybridization images were immediately scanned by GenePix 4000B (Axon Instrument, Union City, CA). The images acquired by scan were analyzed by GenePix Pro 4.0 software. The absolute feature (microarray spot) and background intensity of Cy3 and Cy5 for each feature on the array was obtained for the hybridized images. The local background intensity of each spot was smoothed by the local weight regression smoother (lowess smoother) and subtracted from feature intensity data. The subtracted intensity data were subjected to non-parametric regression and local variance normalization. The non-parametric regression can reduce intensity-depended biases. Compared with the linear regression, the accuracy is improved, if the points in scatter plot of Cy3 vs. Cy5 were not distributed around the straight line. The local variance normalization controls the noise (background) in the raw data to a greater extent where the normalized data, in many cases, did not show significant fold-differences in comparison with background-subtracted raw intensity ratios, which frequently displayed higher fold-differences. Thus, the variance method that we employed to bovine liver array data has produced much reliable normalized ratios. To group liver genes with similar expression patterns throughout bovine pregnancy, two clustering algorithm were employed. The hierarchical clustering algorithm was performed using the software, Cluster 3.0, created and made freely available by Dr. Michiel de Hoon (http://bonsai.ims.u-tokyo.ac.jp/~mdehoon/software/cluster/software.htm) based on the original version written by Dr. Michael Eisen (http://rana.lbl.gov/), and the software TreeView (http://rana.lbl.gov/). For hierarchical clustering, genes with either 2 or more than 2-fold induction or 2 or more than 2-fold repression at least at one point of the sampling period were selected. All ratio values were log transformed (base 2) to treat inductions or repressions of identical magnitude as numerically equal but with opposite sign, and subjected to centroid linkage clustering. Self-Organizing Maps (SOMs) algorithm was performed using the software GeneCluster 2 made freely available by Whitehead Institute Center for Genome Research (http://www-genome.wi.mit.edu/cancer/software/genecluster2/gc2.html). The SOMs were performed on the present data to better visualization of clusters of genes with their expression patterns plotted on an x-y axis. For SOMs, genes with either 1.5-fold (and above) induction or 1.5-fold (and above) repression at least at one point of the sampling period were selected. The minimum fold difference i.e., 1.5-fold, chosen for the analyses in the present study was based on the calculation that the technical variation contributing to the expression level of each individual gene due either to different labeling efficiencies of cyanine dyes or labeling procedure or both, was found to be within the range of 1.41-fold induction or repression. Therefore, either the induction or the repression of a particular gene by 1.5-fold or above was considered significant.

Project description:Synechocystis 6803 cells was grown photoautotrophically at 32 °C buffered in BG-11 and bubbled with 3% CO2. A relatively mild Ci stress was applied by switching the aeration from 3% CO2 to air alone. After incubation under designated conditions, a 100-ml aliquot of culture was immediately combined with an equal volume of ice-cold mixture of phenol and ethanol (1:10, w/v) in an ice bath. The resultant cells were collected by centrifugation at 1000 x g for 10 min at 4 °C. Total RNA was isolated with RNeasy Midi Kit (Qiagen, Valencia, CA) and further treated with the DNA-free kit (Ambion, Austin, TX). Fluorescently labeled cDNA was produced via a two-step indirect procedure involving cDNA synthesis from 16 µg of total RNA in a reverse transcriptase reaction incorporating aminoallyl-modified deoxynucleotide, followed by the second step involving chemical coupling of fluorescent dye to the introduced amino moieties of the synthesized cDNA. Labeled cDNA were adjusted to 14.75 µl, and the remainder of the hybridization components containing 2.5 µl of 10 µg µl-1 salmon sperm DNA, 8.75 µl of 20x SSC, 0.25 µl of 10% SDS, and 8.75 µl of formamide were added. The mixture was then heated for 2 min at 99 °C and maintained at 42 °C until hybridization. Hybridizations were preformed in a static incubator at 42 °C for 12-16 h then washed by placing in a 250-ml solution of 2x SSC and 0.1% SDS at 42 °C for 5 min with gentle agitation provided by rotation of a magnetic stir bar. The slide was transferred quickly to a 250-ml solution of 0.1x SSC and 0.1% SDS, incubated for 10 min at room temperature with gentle agitation, and washed five additional times in 0.1x SSC for 1 min at room temperature. Hybridization signals from the microarray were quantified using GenePix Pro 4.1 (Axon Instruments, Union City, CA). The quality control procedures were conducted in the image analysis software, and then data were saved to Acuity 3.1 (Axon Instruments). Keywords: time-course

Project description:Samples and RNA preparation: The series is composed of 4 hybridizations for analysis of differentially expressed genes in the liver of ciprofibrate dosed vs. control rats. Rats (200-250 g) were given (by gastric intubation) tap water (control group, n=5) or ciprofibrate (50 mg/kg body weight, once daily for 60 days, n=4). Liver total RNA extraction was performed first by ultracentrifugation on a cesium chloride cushion and then using TRIZOL Reagent (GIBCO BRL Life Technologies, New York, NY). Labeling and hybridization: One microgram of total RNA from the control pool (n=5), and from each ciprofibrate dosed rat was reverse transcribed and labeled with Cy3- and Cy5-attached dendrimer, respectively, using 3DNA Array Detection Submicro kit as described in the manufacturer's protocols (Genisphere, Montvale, NJ). The labeling reactions were also spiked with exogenous control RNAs (Stratagene) at expected Cy5/Cy3 ratios of 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0, 0.5, 0.33, 0.25 and 0.125 for control spike 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10 and 7, respectively. The Cy3 and Cy5 labeled samples (combined volume 5 microliter) were mixed with 30 microliter of the hybridization solution containing 0.25 M NaPO4, 1 mM EDTA, 4.5% SDS, 1 x SSC, 2 x Denhardt's solution, 0.25 microliter antifade reagent (Genisphere) and 0.2 microgram mouse COT-1 DNA (GIBCO BRL Life Technologies), added onto the array and covered with 22 x 50mm cover slip. The array was assembled into humidified hybridization chamber (Corning) and hybridized at 65oC for 18 h by submerging in a water bath. Post-hybridization washes were done once in 2 x SSC, 0.2% SDS at 55oC for 15 min, then in 2 x SSC at room temperature for 15 min, and finally with 0.2 x SSC at room temperature for 15 min. Scanning, image analysis and data processing: Arrays were scanned at 10 micrometer resolution with a confocal laser scanner constructed in-house in collaboration with NEMKO (Trondheim, Norway) according to a prototype developed at NHGRI (http://www.nhgri.gov/DIR/LCG/15K(HTML/). Microarray image analysis was done with MicroArray Suite software version 2.1 with globally normalization (Scanalytics, Inc., Fairfax VA). First, spots undetected (target intensity=1) in at least one array were excluded. Then, spots with signal intensity (averages of the 4 arrays) less than 300 in both channels were removed. The fluorescence intensity ratios (Cy5/Cy3) for genes measured from probes spotted in duplicate were averaged for each slide. Then, mean ratios of the 4 hybridizations were calculated for each gene, and differentially regulated genes were determined using 1.4 fold change cutoff values (1.4 for up-regulated or 0.7 for down-regulated genes).

Project description:This series repressents the data set from the paper "Expression microarray analysis and oligo array CGH of aquired gemcitabine resistance in mouse colon reveals selection for chromosomal aberrations". Biological material: One solid mouse tumor "Colon 26A" was routinely maintained by successive transplantation. A subset of mice with this tumor was treated at the maximum tolerable dosage of Gemcitabine and successively transplanted 5 times and similarly treated. The last passage was completly resistant and designated, "Colon 26G". Expression array: Total RNA was isolated from frozen mouse tumors using Tryzol. Single stranded cDNA was synthetized from 30 mg of total RNA by reverse transcription using aminoallyl labeled dUTP (Ambion). Labelling was performed according to the aminoallyl labeling protocol. Briefly, cDNA was incubated at room temperature for 1 h with fluorolink monofunctional cy5 or cy3 (Amersham) followed by 15 min 4 M hydroxylamine treatment. Uncoupled dyes were removed using Qiaquick PCR purification columns (Qiagen) and mixed with 12 mg poly(dA) (Amersham), 60 mg yeast tRNA (Sigma) and 24 mg Cot-1 DNA (Invitroen). The probe was dissolved in 127 ml hybridization mixture containing 46% formamide, 9.5% dextran sulfate, 2x SSC and 0.2% SDS. The probe was heated to 70°C for 10 min and annealed at 37°C for 1 h. Slides were hybridized for 14 h at 37°C over-night (HyArray 12™, Perkin Elmer). After hybridization the slides were washed in the HybArray 12™ with 50% formamide, 2x SSC, pH 7 at 35°C for 15 min, followed b PI buffer (0.1 M sodium phosphate, 0.1% Igepal Ca630, pH 8) at room temperature and 3 washes of 0.2x SSC, 0.1x SSC and 0.01x SSC at room temperature followed by centrifugation. Arrays were scanned using a laser scanner (ScanArray Express, Perkin Elmer) and analysed using ImaGene version 5.6. Cy5 cy3 ratios are calculating by taking the log2 of the signal mean of each spot minus the median background mean of all spots on the array. This is followed by a standard normalization for spot intensity and calculation of the ratios. Keywords: other

Project description:Human hepatocellular carcinoma cells, HepG2 , cultured in DMEM containing 10% fetal calf serum. To study gene expression changes induced by Vitamin K2, total RNA was isolated following the Isogen procedure (Nippon-gene, Tokyo, Japan) from HepG2 cells with and without 50 microM of Vitamin K2 treatment for three days. The cDNA microarrays Human Oligo Chip 30K “AceGene” subset A was purchased from Hitachi Software Engineering Co. (Yokohama-City, Japan). This array contains 10368 kinds of gene-specific 50 mer sense oligonucleotides. Subset A contains mainly known function ORF oligo probes. Preparation of fluorescent cDNA targets by an indirect labeling approach was performed using PowerScript reverse transcription kit (Clontech). First-strand cDNAs were synthesized from 30 microg of total RNA from HepG2 cells treated with or without Vitamin K2 using random primer and PoweScript Fluorescent Labelling Kit. Monofunctional, N-hydroxysuccinimide-activated fluorescent dyes (Cy3 and Cy5; Amersham) were coupled to the cDNAs by reaction with the amino functional groups. Untreated cells were labeled with Cy3 as a control and treated cells with Cy5 as a sample. After free dyes were removed using MinElute Purification kit (Qiagen), the targets were mixed together and added to the microarrays, and then incubated overnight (16 hours) at 42?C. The slides were washed at 30?C in each with 2x SSC, 0.1% SDS and 2x SSC for 10 min and 5 min, respectively, and washed in 1x SSC for 5 min. Fluorescent images of the hybridized microarrays were scanned with a fluorescence laser confocal slide scanner (Affymetrix 428 Array Scanner, Affymetrix, Santa Clara, CA). The Cy3 and Cy5 intensities with background subtraction were determined by ImaGene 4.2 software (BioDiscovery, Marina Del Rey, CA). The expression data were then filtered based on their channel intensities, spot size and flag (missing or inaccurate data), and the Cy5/Cy3 ratios were calculated and normalized by median-centering the log-ratio of all genes.

Project description:Examination of molecular basis of malaria resistance. Spleens from malaria resistant AcB55 and AcB61strains compared with A/J mice. Animals were sacrificed and spleens were rapidly frozen in liquid nitrogen, and subsequently stored at 80oC. Tissues were mechanically homogenized with a polytron and total cellular RNA was extracted using a commercially available reagent (TMTRIzol; Invitrogen). The poly-(A)+ fraction of the RNA was isolated by chromatography with oligo d(T) cellulose beads. For cDNA labeling, either 25 mg of total RNA or 2.5 mg of poly-(A) RNA was converted into cDNA using reverse transcriptase (RT; Super Script II, Invitrogen) and alternatively Cy5 or Cy3-labeled dCTP (1mM, Perkin Elmer-Cetus/NEN, Boston) in a reaction mixture containing 1.5 mL oligo (dT) (100pmol/ mL), 3 mL dNTP-dCTP (6.67mM each), 1 mL dCTP (2mM), 4 mL DTT (100mM), 8 mL 5 X RT Buffer (Invitrogen, California). The reactions were carried out at 42¼C for 3 hrs, after which the RNA was degraded by the addition of 0.5 mL RNase A (1 mg/mL) and 1.5 mL RNaseH 5 units/mL). Labeled cDNA was separated from unincorporated nucleotides (Qiagen column) and further concentrated by evaporation under vacuum. The arrays were pre-hybridized for 1-2hrs with DIGEasy hybridization buffer (Roche) containing 10ug/ml denatured salmon sperm DNA, and 10ug/ml yeast tRNA. The Cy5 and Cy3 labelled cDNAs were combined and hybridized in the same medium and incubated with the arrays for 16-18hrs at 37Co. Finally, the arrays were washed 3 x 10 mins in 0.1 x SSC (20 X SSC is 3M sodium chloride, 0.3 M sodium citrate, pH 7.0), 0.1%SDS at 50Co, and 4 x 3min in 0.1 x SSC at room temperature, and dried by centrifugation. Fluorescent array images were collected for both Cy3 and Cy5 with a ScanArray fluorescent scanner and image intensity data were extracted and analyzed with QuantArray 3.0 analysis software. Quantification data was imported in GeneSpring (Silicon Genetics). The import format was modified to maintain information relevant to user-contributed flagging as well as QC parameter furnished by the array manufacturer. Dye swap and Intensity-based normalization (Lowess) were performed using the default settings. Keywords: other
