Gene expression in endometrial cancer cells (Ishikawa) after short time high dose exposure to progestins

ABSTRACT: Gene expression in endometrial cancer cells (Ishikawa) after short time exposure to progestins Sample and RNA preparation: The series is composed of sixteen hybridizations for analysis of differentially expressed genes in endometrial cancer cells (Ishikawa). In eight independent experiments, Ishikawa cells in monolayer received with 30 ug/ml progestin and were grown in RPMI-1640 medium (Sigma, Sty. Louis) with 10% dialyzed foetal calf serum (PAA-laboratories, Austria) without phenol red and antibiotics. Cells were seeded at a density of 1 x 105 cells/ml in 25 cm2 culture flasks in a humidified atmosphere (5% CO2) at 37°C for 4 hours. Cells not treated with progestin served as control groups. Total RNA extraction was performed using TRIZOL Reagent (GIBCO BRL Life Technologies, New York, NY). Labeling and hybridization: Total RNA was reverse transcribed and labeled with Cy3- and Cy5- attached dendrimer, respectively, using the Genisphere 3DNA 350HS kit (Genisphere, Montvale, NJ) as described in the manufacturer's protocol. Hybridizations of transcribed probes were carried out in a TECAN HS4800 instrument using the formamide-based hybridization buffer from Genisphere containing 5% dextrane sulfate and 5.5 ng/ul COT1 DNA (GIBCO BRL Life technologies) at 37º for 23 hours. 3DNA dendrimer hybridizations were carried out in formamide-based hybridization buffer alone. Post-hybridization washes were carried out at room temperature with 2xSSC for 1 min, 0.2% SDS /2xSSC for 1 min and finally with 0.2xSSC for 30 sec. Sixteen hybridizations including dye-swap have been performed for eight independent experiments. Scanning, image analysis and data processing: The arrays were scanned with the GenePix 4000B scanner (Axon Instruments Inc). The features were extracted from the arrays using GenePix Pro 6.0 (Axon instruments Inc., Union City, CA). All subsequent statistical analyses were performed using the statistical package R (R Development Core Team). Spots that displayed a signal-to-noise ratio of less than 2, or that were significantly saturated (more than 20 % saturation among foreground pixels) were filtered out. The median was used as the averaging measure of the foreground pixels. After quality control, genes that were present in less than 50 % of the arrays were filtered out. The arrays were normalized using dye-swap normalization. One array, whose dye swap twin failed was normalized using the lowess method. Statistical significance was assigned to the genes using the SAM methodology. The bioconductor SAMR package was used in the actual analysis. Missing expression levels were imputed using 10 nearest neighbour's imputation. The local FDR threshold was set to 25 %. Keywords: Progestin treatment, Control-treatment

Project description:Sample and RNA preparation: The series is composed of seventeen hybridizations for analysis of differentially expressed genes in placenta tissues from women after vaginal delivery (labouring) and after elective caesarean section (non-labouring). Total RNA extraction was performed by using the MagNa Pure Compact RNA Isolation Kit (Roche Applied Science). Labeling and hybridization: Total RNA was reverse transcribed and labeled with Cy3-attached dendrimer using the Genisphere 3DNA HS kit (Genisphere) as described in the manufacturer’s protocol. Hybridizations were carried out with a TECAN HS4800 instrument using the foramamide-based hybridization buffer from Genisphere containing 5% dextran sulphate and 0.5 microgram COT1 DNA/microgram RNA at 37°C for 23 hours. 3DNA dendrimer hybridizations were carried out in formamide-based hybridization buffer alone. Post-hybridization washes were carried out at room temperature with 2xSSC for 1 min, 0.2% SDS/2xSSC for 1 min and finally with0.2xSSC for 30 sec. Scanning, image analysis and data processing: The microarrays were scanned on an AXON 4000B scanner and images were quantified using GenePix pro 6.0 software. The background estimates were calculated using the morphological opening method. Spots that displayed a signal-to-noise ratio of less than 3 or that were significantly saturated (more than 20 % saturation among foreground pixels) were filtered out. The median was used as the averaging measure of the foreground pixels. After quality control, genes that were present in less than 50 % of the arrays were filtered out. Normalization was carried out using lowess normalization Sample labelling was balanced across the groups, presumably attenuating any dye-effect. For the purpose of finding differentially expressed genes empirical Bayes analysis, using the LIMMA package was applied. The data were analysed using a two-component linear model. The prior guess of the number of D.E genes was set to 0.01. Multiple testing was accounted for by estimating the false discovery rate. We applied the Benjamini-Hochberg procedure, as well as Storeys less conservative Q-value procedure was applied. In none of the cases were any genes significant at a reasonable (15-20% FDR) level. In summary, a 2.5-fold change in expression of any gene that was present on ≥ 8 arrays was considered significant, if the difference in fluorescence intensity between two groups reached a p-value of < 0.01.

Project description:The purpose of the McrBC methylation microarray* assay is to determine which regions of a genome are methylated versus those that are unmethylated in a single Arabidopsis thanliana genotype. McrBC is a methylation-sensitive enzyme that restricts DNA only at purine-Cmethyl half sites when separated between* 50bp and 3kb. A designated amount of DNA from a particular genotype is sheared to a size range of 1kb-10kb using nebulization. We restrict half of the nebulized DNA with McrBC, and the methylated fraction is then removed from the unmethylated fraction through gel purification of DNA fragments greater than 1kb.* The remaining nebulized DNA is subjected to the same gel purification scheme, but with no McrBC treatment. In a single hybridization, the untreated sample is labeled with Cy5 and the McrBC-treated sample with Cy3.* Thus, after labeling and microarray hybridization, the ratio of normalized Cy5 to normalized Cy3 represents the relative methylation at the sequence represented by the spot on the microarray.* Dye swap analysis is carried out to take account of experimental variation by repeating the hybridization with identical samples labeled with Cy3 and Cy5, respectively. The two samples in this series are complementary hybridizations in a dye-swap analysis. wild-type seedlings, 9 days old. Below is the normalized result of the paired dye swap samples VC134 and VC136. The ANOVA model of Kerr, Martin and Churchill (2000) was used to analyze the data from the dye-swap experiments, with terms included to account for gene, dye-by-gene, treatment-by-gene, and random error terms. The style of hypothesis test proposed by Black and Doerge (2002) was applied to each of the features represented on each array, with rejection of the null hypothesis indicating a significant change in fluorescence intensity. To account for the number of hypothesis tests being made, and thus provide some level of error rate control, significance was assessed using both family-wise error rate (FWER) and false discovery rate (FDR) controlling methods. The step-down multiple comparisons procedure of Holm (1979) was used to control the FWER below alpha = 0.01, while the step-up procedure of Benjamini and Hochberg (1995) was used to control the FDR below alpha = 0.01. For the purposes of this experiment, the hypotheses were assumed to be independent. Features found to be significantly enriched for DNA methylation after hypothesis-testing with a controlled error rate are flagged in the last two columns. Keywords: other
