Project description:To further analyze the gene expression profile regulated by entecavir, we employed whole genome microarray expression profiling as a discovery platform to identify the differentially expressed genes. Human hepatocellular carcinoma cell lines HepG2.2.15 cells were treated for 48 hr with 10 μmol/L entecavir or 0μmol/L entecavir(control samples) in vitro. The differentially expressed genes including all detected and normalized signal more than 8 were selected and 30 upregulated- and downregulated- genes were identified between 10μmol/L dose and control samples.Afterwards, the differentially-expressed genes were analyzed using KEGG database (http://www.genome.jp/kegg/) and none of 30 genes were related to HBV infection-related molecular interaction network were identified.
Project description:To further analyze the gene expression profile regulated by TCM Suduxing, we employed whole genome microarray expression profiling as a discovery platform to identify the differentially expressed genes. Human hepatocellular carcinoma cell lines HepG2.2.15 cells were treated for 48 hr with 0.001 μg/ml and 0.01μg/ml Suduxing or without Suduxing(control samples) in vitro. The differentially expressed genes including all detected and normalized signal more than 8 were selected and 538 upregulated- and downregulated- genes were identified between 0.01μg/ml dose and control samples.Afterwards, the differentially-expressed genes were analyzed using KEGG database (http://www.genome.jp/kegg/) and 10 genes related to HBV infection-related molecular interaction network were identified.
Project description:Oleanolic acid significantly inhibited neurosphere formation in a dose-dependent manner, and achieved a maximum effect at 10 nM. OA also reduced the 5-ethynyl-2M-bM-^@M-^Y-deoxyuridine (EdU) incorporation into NSCs, indicating an inhibition on proliferation of NSCs. Next, in western blotting analysis, the protein expression of neuron-specific marker tubulin-M-NM-2M-bM-^EM-" (TuJ1) and Mash1 was increased, while the astrocyte-specific marker glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) decreased. In immunofluorescence analysis, OA significantly elevated the percentage of TuJ1-positive cells and reduced GFAP-positive cells. Using DNA microarrays, 183 genes were found to be differentially regulated by OA. Neural stem cells derived form mouse embrynic brains were treated with Oleanolic acid or not. Each group had 4 biological relicates each from a mouse.
Project description:HK-2 cells were treated with MGO, carnosine, or combination of both. Differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) were identified by iTRAQ-based mass spectrum, annotated with Gene Ontology (GO) followed by enrichment analysis of GO items and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathways.

OA also reduced the 5-ethynyl-2’-deoxyuridine (EdU) incorporation into NSCs, indicating an inhibition on proliferation of NSCs. Next, in western blotting analysis, the protein expression of neuron-specific marker tubulin-βⅢ (TuJ1) and Mash1 was increased, while the astrocyte-specific marker glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) decreased. In immunofluorescence analysis, OA significantly elevated the percentage of TuJ1-positive cells and reduced GFAP-positive cells. Using DNA microarrays, 183 genes were found to be differentially regulated by OA.
Project description:To gain mechanistic insights into the protective effects of oleic acid (OA) on angiotensin II(AngII)-induced cardiac remodeling, a whole transcriptomic analysis of heart were performed using RNA-seq.Comparing with heart of normal mice, a total of 1468 genes (987 upregulated and 481 down regulated) were differentially expressed (FDR<0.05) in heart of AngII-induced mice. Comparing with heart of AngII-induced mice, a total of 785 genes (162 upregulated and 623 down regulated) were differentially expressed (FDR<0.05) in heart of OA treated mice. Importantly, among the 987 upregulated genes in heart of AngII-induced mice,388 genes were significantly reversed in heart of OA treated mice.
