Project description:Previous investigations suggest that the different embryonic origins of the calvarial tissues (neural crest or mesoderm) may account for the different molecular mechanisms underlying sutural development. The aim of this study was to evaluate the differences in the gene expression of human cranial tissues and assess the presence of an expression signature reflecting their embryonic origins. Using microarray technology, we investigated global gene expression of cells from the frontal and parietal bones and the metopic and sagittal intrasutural mesenchyme (ISM) of four human fetal calvaria. Tissues samples were obtained from fetal crania of 4 normal human fetuses (two females ages 94 and 103 days and two males ages 97 and 98 days). All dural and extracranial soft tissues were removed from the parietal and frontal bones. 2-3 mm tissue compartments were excised from frontal and parietal bones and metopic and sagittal ISM. To avoid contamination with osteoblasts, ISM tissue was dissected from the central portion of each suture. Similarly, bone was harvested at least 3mm from the margin of the suture to avoid contamination with ISM. Media was changed every 3-4 days. After reaching 75-80% confluence, the cells were trypsinized with TrypLEExpress (Life Technologies, Denmark) and passaged. During the fourth and final passage, 180,000 cells were plated in triplicate in 6-well plates and cultured for 5 days followed by RNA extraction.

Project description:Contamination of the environment with endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) has raised concerns about potential health hazards for humans and wildlife. P-tert-octylphenol (OP) is one such ubiquitous chemical reported to bind to the estrogen receptor (ER) and alter expression of estrogen-responsive genes. Human and wildlife exposure to OP are likely, due to its persistence in the environment and its presence in food, water and items of daily use. Detrimental effects of OP exposures on the reproductive system have been observed in some, but not all, in vivo experiments. This study compared estrogenic effects of OP in vitro with those in vivo in adult female rats, attempting to better mimic real-life exposures in adults. In vitro, OP bound to human ER weakly and accelerated proliferation of MCF-7 cells. Adult Sprague-Dawley rats were given OP by gavage either once or daily for 35 days (125 mg/kg body weight). Body and organ weights and ovarian follicle populations were unaltered in OP-exposed adult rats after either time point, despite detectable levels of OP in reproductive organs. Toxicity of OP was demonstrated by a slightly reduced growth rate and slightly altered estrous cycle, but there were no significant estrogen-like changes in histomorphology or microarray analyses of gene expression of uterine tissue. Prepubertal rats exposed by gavage to 125 or 250 mg/kg OP for three days failed to show any uterotrophic effects, although E2 caused a 3-fold increase in uterine weight. Results do not support a dose-dependent, estrogenic mode of action for OP. This SuperSeries is composed of the following subset Series: GSE14527: Effects of single oral exposure of adult Sprague-Dawley rats to p-tert-octylphenol on uterine gene expression GSE14528: Effects of 35 days oral exposure of adult female Sprague-Dawley rats to p-tert-octylphenol on uterine gene expression Refer to individual Series

Project description:Purpose: Investigate cellular heterogeneity in a fresh human ovarian cancer tissue sample Methods: Enzymatic digestion of fresh tissue sample collected from the operating room to produce single cell suspension. Cells were labelled with fluorescent antibodies to CD3, CD14, CD19, CD20, CD56 and FACS sorted to remove immune cells. The negative population was used for sequencing. Single cells were processed using the Fluidigm C1 Chip to generate barcoded cDNA for each cell. Amplifed cDNA was sequenced using an Illumina HiSeq 2500 machine. Results: Single cell RNA sequence data was obtained for 92 cells and a "bulk" sample of 1000 cells. 26 cells were removed from analysis due to quality control standards. The remaining 66 cells and the bulk sample were analyzed. Conclusion: Single cell RNA sequence analysis reveals heterogeneity in gene expression in cells harvested from a high grade ovarian serous cancer

Project description:We evaluated quantification using XLE by testing 68 different chemicals (PCB, PBDEs, chlorinated pesticides) in SRM-1958 using external calibration curves (0.05 to 2 ng/mL) and comparing measured values to the reference concentrations reported for SRM. We identified all 40 PCBs that are reported with a reference mass fraction (including certified values and non-certified estimates) in the range of 46.6 to 490 ng/kg in SRM-1958 certificate of analysis (issue date: 11 October 2018). Quantification without adjustment for recovery was reproducible with 29 PCB qualifications at >70% and 35 PCBs at >65% of the reference levels. Eleven out of 13 PBDE/PBBs and all 17 organochlorine pesticides were identifiable and reproducibly quantified in this experiment. Therefore, XLE provides sufficient recovery to support accurate absolute quantification of a broad range of environmental chemicals. Overall, XLE supported measurement of 68 out of the 70 chemicals that are in the ng/kg range in SRM-1958.

Project description:We tested XLE quantification of chemicals in a non-fortified reference material: SRM-1957. Results show that XLE detected 29 out of 32 chemicals with certified or estimated reference values in the ng/kg range in SRM-1957; 16 out of 29 chemicals were quantified at >65% of the reference levels.

Project description:The transcriptome of pancreatic islets from four mouse strains was compared - NODk.RagKO, B10k.RagKO, NODk.RagKO.insHEL and B10k.RagKO.insHEL. This comparison allows the assessment of altered transcriptome due to two factors - genetic background of NOD vs B10 strain, and the effect of the insHEL transgene. The use of the MHC k haplotype and the RagKO background remove contamination from infiltrating immune cells, in order to obtain a pure islet transcriptome.
