Project description:Analysis of the ovarian cancer cell line OVCAR-5. A standard trypsin digest was carried out on the OVCAR-5 cell lysates which were then analysed in the un-fractionated and fractionated forms. Fractionation was completed using a peptide IEF separation method. All samples were analysed by nano-LC-ESI-MS/MS using a QTOF.
Project description:The 19 parent lines of the Arabidopsis thaliana MAGIC collection show significant differences in their root exudate profiles. Changes in metabolism were analyzed by ultra-performance liquid chromatography coupled to electrospray ionization quadrupole time–of–flight mass spectrometry (UPLC-ESI-QTOF-MS) untargeted in positive and negative mode, and targeted for a set of known metabolites.
Project description:We profile the transcriptional landscapes associated with acquisition of [ESI+], a prion scaffolded by Snt1, a core component of the Set3C histone deacetylase. We find that acquisition of [ESI+] leads to expression of otherwise silent, heterochromatic loci, proposing a new molecular means by which silent transcriptional states might be reversed.
Project description:The purpose of this study is to determine if ginger root extract when taken daily for 28 days is able to decrease levels of inflammatory chemicals called eicosanoids in the gut tissue of people who are at normal risk and those at increased of developing colorectal cancer compared to people taking placebo.
Project description:This study used virological, histological, immunological and global gene expression to compare the virlence of two newly emerged 2009 H1N1 isolates (A/Mexico/InDRE4487/2009 and A/Mexico/4108/2009) and current seasonal H1N1 influenza strain (A/Kawasaki/UTK-4/2009) in experimentally infected cynomolgus macaques. We showed that infection of macaques with two genetically similar but clinically distinct SOIV isolates from the early stage of the pandemic (A/Mexico/4108/2009 and A/Mexico/InDRE4487/2009) resulted in upper and lower respiratory tract infections and clinical disease ranging from mild to severe pneumonia. Disease associated with these SOIV isolates was clearly advanced over the mild infection caused by A/Kawasaki/UTK-4/2009, a current seasonal strain.
