Project description:Gene expression was profiled in peripheral blood samples collected from patients during anaphylaxis, trauma, or sepsis, and from healthy controls. Patients were recruited from three Australian emergency departments (ED) between March 2011 and June 2013. Samples were collected at ED arrival (T0), 1 hour later (T1), and 3 hours post arrival (T2).
Project description:In this study, we designed a space simulation study, named “4 Subjects 180-Day Controlled Ecological Life Support System (CELSS) Integration Experiment”, which took place in Shenzhen, China, from June to December 2016. In this experiment, four subjects (3 males and 1 female) lived for 180 days in an enclosed simulated cabin, and multiple-sampling-point DNA methylation data was collected to conduct the epigenic analysis. Peripheral whole blood cells were extracted from all 4 subjects on the 12 sampling points (Pre45, Pre15, R2, R30, R60, R75, R90, R105, R120, R150, R175 and Post30 mission day during the experiment).
Project description:We developed a transcriptome resource for Douglas-fir covering key developmental stages of megagametophytes over time: prefertilization, fertilization, embryogenesis, and early, unfertilized abortion. Extracted RNA was sequenced using large-scale sequencing and reads were assembled to generate a de novo reference transcriptome of 105,505 predicted high-confidence transcripts. Expression levels were estimated based on alignment of the original reads to the reference. 200â400 megagametophytes were dissected and pooled per sample on four dates from either pollinated or unpollinated cones: June 10, June 22, June 30, and July 6 2011. These dates coincided with key events in seed development: corrosion cavity formation, fertilization, embryogenesis, or the early stages of abortion in the unpollinated treatment. Sporophytic tissue (i.e. cone bracts and cone scales) were added for comparison. PolyA RNA was used for Illumina sequencing.
Project description:Here we present that growth of medulloblastoma is dependent on PlGF/Nrp-1 signaling. PlGF and Nrp-1 are expressed across different molecular subgroups of medulloblastoma. Data presented here are part of a combined molecular effort to subclassify our medulloblastoma cohort according to current molecular criteria (Taylor et al., 2011). Furthermore, we include aCGH of two medulloblastoma cell lines that were used as models in our experiments.
Project description:The Jeryak is the hybrid offspring of yaks and Jersey cattle and exhibit improved milk and meat yields. Biomolecules carried within milk exosomes are important for cell growth, development, immune regulation, and various pathophysiological processes. Previous studies showed that miRNAs regulate mammary gland development, lactation, and milk quality. This study explored the relationship between milk exosomes miRNAs and lactation performance. A comparison of the milk content showed that yak milk was of a better quality compared to Jeryak milk (casein, fat, TS, SNF, lactose). Milk collected in December was superior to that collected in June for both yak and Jeryak, except for lactose concentrations. Exosomes were extracted by density gradient centrifugation and miRNA expression profiles in milk exosomes from three yaks and three Jeryaks collected in June and December were detected by small RNA sequencing. In all, 22, 120, 78, and 62 differentially expressed miRNAs (DEMs) were identified in Jun_ JY vs. Jun_ Y (P1: Jeryak in June vs. Yak in June), Jun_ JY vs. Dec_ JY (P2: Jeryak in June vs. Jeryak in December), Dec_ JY vs. Dec_ Y (P3: Jeryak in December vs. Yak in December), and Jun_ Y vs. Dec_ Y (P4: Yak in June vs. Yak in December) groups. These DEMs were enriched in functions and signaling pathways related to lactation performance. In conclusion, these findings are a reference tool to study the molecular basis of lactation performance.
Project description:Recently, concerns about the combined effects of electromagnetic field (EMF) in daily living and occupational environment are rapidly growing. 4.9 GHz radiofrequency (RF) is commonly used in 5G telecommunication in daily life, EMP is common is occupational environment. Till now, the biological effects of combined exposure to EMP and 4.9 GHz RF have not been fully understood. We used LC-MSMS quantitative proteomics method to investigate the potential effects of EMP and RF field exposure in adult male mice model.

Project description:Although classified as hematopoietic cells, tissue-resident macrophages are selfrenewing and maintained independently of adult hematopoiesis. While most macrophages originate from embryonic precursors that seed tissues prior to birth, their exact origin is unknown. Using an in utero macrophage depletion strategy and fatemapping of yolk sac (YS) and fetal liver (FL) hematopoiesis, we found that YS macrophages are the main precursors of microglia, while most other macrophages derive from fetal monocytes. Both YS macrophages and fetal monocytes arise from erythro-myeloid progenitors (EMP) generated in the YS. In the YS, EMP gave rise to macrophages without monocytic intermediates, while EMP seeding the FL upon the establishment of blood circulation acquired c-Myb expression and gave rise to fetal monocytes that then seed embryonic tissues to differentiate into macrophages. Thus, adult tissue-resident macrophages established from HSC-independent embryonic precursors arise from two different developmental programs. 12 samples of progenitors, monocytes or macrophages are analyzed from 2 to 4 replicate. Each replicate derived from at least 5 embryos or adult mice
