Project description:This data set consists of a long term glucose starvation time course of E. coli grown in minimal media for up to two weeks. Unlike previous studies of long term starvation,Our study focuses on the physiological response of E. Coli in stationary phase as a result of being starved for glucose, not on the genetic adaptation of E. coli to utilize alternative nutrients.
Project description:Approximately 500 surface sterilized seeds of Arabidopsis seeds (ecotype: Col-0) were sterilely sown on filter disks overlaying solid ½ MS media 1% sucrose, stratified at 4C for 48 h and grown in darkness at 25C for 4 d. Seedlings were gently submerged by application to the plates of the different auxin solutions (made in ethanol carrier; 0.1% final concentration) and at the indicated times (20 min, 40 min, 60 min), the seedlings were lifted from the plate en mass and flash frozen in liquid nitrogen.

Project description:We have developed a tet-inducible immortalized mouse embryonic fibroblast (iMEF) cell culture model of SDH-loss paraganglioma/pheochromocytoma in which silencing gene rearrangement of the Sdhc floxed allele is driven by doxycycline-dependent expression of cre-recombinase from a tet-inducible promoter (R26M2rtTA/+;TetOcre;Sdhcfl/fl). Using this model and an isogenic Sdhc wt control line (R26M2rtTA/+;TetOcre;Sdhcfl/wt), we have characterized the time-course of Sdhc gene rearrangement, protein loss, and succinate accumulation following induction with doxycycline. Using reduced representation bisulfite sequencing (RRBS), we have quantified changes in the genome-wide distribution of cytosine/5’-methyl-cytosine due to succinate accumulation using our Sdhc -/- cell line. Through a time-course experimental design, we have grown R26M2rtTA/+;TetOcre;Sdhcfl/fl (experimental) and R26M2rtTA/+;TetOcre;Sdhcfl/wt (control) iMEFs in standard DMEM media containing 10% FBS and quantified DNA methylation changes in these cells as a function of time after triggering SDHC gene rearrangement via doxycycline exposure.

Project description:CELL CULTURE: The human intestinal epithelial cell line Caco-2 (obtained from Dr. Stanley Falkow, Stanford University) was used to study the genome-wide expression program underlying the transition from cell proliferation to establishment of a polarized epithelial layer. Cells were first grown in sparse culture on plastic p15 dishes to generate a population of "contact naive" cells. These cells were combined and plated at confluency on Costar filter inserts. The day cells were plated on filters is designated the zero time-point. Cells were cultured for 26 days, during which time they develop structural and functional polarity. Media was changed every other day. Triplicate samples were harvested at eleven time-points over the time course for microarray analysis. The entire time course was performed twice. Three control arrays are included in this data set; (1) to determine how the gene-expression patterns in Caco-2 cells grown on a plastic dish compares to the expression profiles identified in Caco-2 cells grown on Costar filter inserts (microarray shcu182, data not shown), (2) to tested whether feeding the cells at different time-points had an effect on the Caco-2 gene-expression program. All samples taken (except at the day zero time-point) were fed with fresh media one day prior to harvesting the sample. During TC3 and TC4, we performed two test arrays analyzing the transcriptional program in Caco-2 cells that were fed with fresh cell culture media 4h prior to taking the 7D time-point (microarrays shcu177 and shcu178, indicated with * in table S1).

ABSTRACT: Although there is considerable evidence implicating post-translational mechanisms in the development of epithelial cell polarity, little is known about the patterns of gene expression and transcriptional regulation during this process. We characterized the temporal program of gene expression during cell-cell adhesion-initiated polarization of human Caco-2 cells in tissue culture, which develop structural and functional polarity similar to that of enterocytes in vivo. A distinctive switch in gene expression patterns occurred upon formation of cell-cell contacts between neighboring cells. Expression of a cluster of genes involved in cell proliferation switched off and concomitantly the expression of genes related to functional specializations of polarized epithelial cells was induced. Induction of these latter genes correlated with formation of important structural and functional features related to enterocyte differentiation and establishment of structural and functional cell polarity. Coordinated expression of genes encoding components of functional cell structures were often observed, indicating temporal control of expression and assembly of multiprotein complexes. Changes in gene expression patterns during Caco-2 cell differentiation in vitro paralleled those in terminally differentiating enterocytes migrating up the intestinal crypt-villus axis in vivo, despite the lack of stromal cells and gradients of morphogens in this tissue culture model.

Project description:RNA was isolated from age-synchronous cultures of hermaphrodite worms grown at 25?C at 2, 5, 8, or 11 days of adulthood. We observed no deaths in the worm population at days 2 and 5 of adulthood, 30% at day 8 and 93% death at day 11. The aging time course was repeated four times.

Project description:IL2 deprivation time course for day 8 human CD8 T cells activated for 3 days with TransAct T-cell activation beads. PBMC (Cambridge Bio) were defrosted and CD8+ T-cells isolated using a human CD8+ T-cell isolation kit. CD8+ T-cells were activated at 1 x 106 cells/mL with 1 in 100 TransAct T-cell activation beads (Miltenyi) and 20 ng/mL IL-2 in complete RMPI (RMPI 1640, 10% FBS, penicillin/streptomycin) for three days. Cells were then washed out of activation and then maintained in complete RMPI with 20 ng/mL IL-2 for five days. To remove IL-2 for IL-2 deprivation, cells were washed twice in pre-warmed media, then replated in complete media without IL-2. Cells were deprived of IL-2 for 1hr, 3hrs, 5hrs, 8hrs, 24hrs or 48hrs.
