Project description:A comparison of microarray and MPSS technologies can help to establish the metrics for data comparisons across these technology platforms and determine some of the factors affecting the measurement of mRNA abundances using different platforms. Here, different Treatments/Conditions based on different Arabidopsis tissues were used for three different platforms include MPSS, Affymetrix and Agilent. Keywords: MPSS, Affymetrix, Agilent
Project description:Closed terminal buds of apple trees (Malus x domestica Borkh, Royal Gala and Castel Gala varieties) grown in commercial orchards were harvested during autumn and winter and exposed to cold treatments 18 biological samples, consisting of 9 pairs of replicates, were analysed in dye-swap. Samples are whole closed terminal buds. Biological replicates are buds from 2 different harvest year subjected to similar cold treatments. Samples with contrasting dormancy status in the same harvest year were compared in 8 dye-swap. Most samples were hybridized more than once in different combinations
Project description:Since the expression profile of miRNAs is specific in different tissues or under different physiological conditions, the correlations between miRNAs and mRNAs could vary under different biological circumstances. This is a study also used expression profiles of miRNA and mRNA during monocytic differentiation to explore the correlations between the expression levels of miRNAs and mRNA, either negative or positive.

Project description:In order to investigate the physiological and biochemical characteristics and molecular mechanisms during the leaf colour change of Acer rubrum L, this study used Acer rubrum L. 'Autumn Blaze' cuttings as material and analysed the transcriptome and miRNAs of Acer rubrum L leaves under different light and temperature treatments. The transcriptome and miRNAs of Acer rubrum L leaves were analysed under different light and temperature treatments, and miRNA-mRNA association analysis was performed for the differentially expressed mRNAs and miRNAs.
Project description:The paper describes new experiments about thymosin beta 4 nuclear translocation using different in vitro cellular stress in CaCo2 cell line adding new details regarding the role of this peptide during adaptive and defensive response. To this purpose, CaCo2 cells were submitted to different stress treatments, including serum starvation, DMSO and Butyrate treatment. The expression of Tβ4 was studied in culture cells before and after stress treatment in the cytosolic and nuclear fractions, with the use of different apporaches: immunohistochemistry with anti-Tβ4 antibody; mass-spectrometry characterization and quantification, and mRNA analysis.
Project description:To study the fibroblast to myofibroblast differentiation in a normal or pathological situation, NHDF (Normal human dermal fibroblast) obtained from two different healthy donors (donors A and B) were either left untreated (T-E-) either treated with TGF-beta alone (T+E-), or with exudate from chronic wounds (T-E+) or both (T+E+). For each different treatment we performed mRNA deep sequencing 3 times : twice with cells from donor A and once with cells from donor B.We focused our study on gene expression profile as a representation of cell fate. We performed mRNA deep sequencing analysis of the 4 different conditions. For each condition, mRNA deep sequencing was performed 3 times : twice with cells from donor A and once with cells from donor B.Comparing the mRNA abundance between the different treatments, we identified 3 lists of genes characterizing the different gene expression states: 171 genes in List I representing the genes differentially expressed during normal fibroblast to myofibroblast differentiation, 409 genes in List II representing the genes differentially expressed upon exudate-only treatment and 1006 genes in List III representing the genes differentially expressed upon the combination of exudate and TGF-beta treatments.
