Project description:Human iPSCs and NSCs were engineered by AAVS1 and/or C13 safe-harbor TALENs which mediated targeted integration of various reporter genes at single or dual safe-harbor loci. Multiple clones of targeted human iPSCs were used to compare with parental untargeted NCRM5 iPSCs. Polyclonal targeted human NSCs were used to compare with their parental untargeted NCRM1NSCs or H9NSCs. Total RNA obtained from targeted human iPSCs or NSCs compared to untargeted control iPSCs or NSCs.
Project description:To comprehensively elucidate the possible mechanism of short-term administration of emodin on the metabolic disturbance in vivo, our study utilized both LC/MS and NMR platforms for untargeted metabolomics studies. These analyses aimed to identify potential biomarkers associated with emodin-induced metabolic disturbances in mice. Subsequently, we delved into lipidomics to explore lipid metabolism systematically and determined the position of C=C double bonds in unsaturated lipids.
Project description:Here we present the development and application of LC-FAIMS-MS/MS based platform for untargeted lipidomics. The combination of normal phase liquid chromatography (NPLC), which can separate different types of phospholipids based on their head groups, and high-resolution MS (HRMS) offers a powerful qualitative and quantitative workflow for serum lipid profiling.We exploited this NPLC-FAIMS-HRMS to analyze the serum lipid profiles in mice infected intranasally with Acinetobacter baumannii, and developed an MS/MS matching tool to identify the detected lipids.
Project description:To identify putative novel specific targets of mir-210, we overexpressed miR-210 as well as miR-34a and a siRNA targeted against E2F3 in A549 human adenocarcinoma cells by transfecting them with synthetic pre-miRNAs or a synthetic “negative” pre-miRNA as control (miR-Neg). RNA samples were harvested at 48 hours post-transfection and 2 independent experiments were carried out. 48 hours post-transfection, 2 independent experiments performed in dye-swap: miR-210 versus miR-Neg ; miR-34a versus miR-Neg ; si-E2F3 versus miR-Neg ; si-control versus miR-Neg.
Project description:To detect miRNAs in microglia derived from AD mice (5xFAD) brain we single cell sorted Cd11b+ and Cd45+ cells divided by Methoxy-X04 staining (Ab aggregates) positivity We performed differentially expression analysis of RNA-seq of wild-type microglia (Me-X04 neg), non-phagocytic AD microglia (Me-X04 neg), phagocytic AD microglia (Me-X04 positive)
