Project description:We report the expression of selected genes associated with cortical, striatal and olfactory interneurons in hSS-derived Dlxi1/2::eGFP cells before (in hSS) and after migration (in hCS). By fusing hiPSC-derived fusions that were separately patterned to generate either human subpallial spheroids (hSS) or human cortical spheroids (hCS) we are able to model human interneuron migration in vitro. The aim of this experiment is to examine the gene expression of hSS-derived Dlxi1/2::eGFP cells before and after migration.

Project description:Illumina microarray experiment on BEAS-2B cells. Cells were seeded 24 h before TNF-a/IL-4 (50 ng/ml) treatment that lasted for 18 h. Cytoplasmic RNA of both normal and activated BEAS-2B cells were collected for microarray. Cells were seeded 24 h before TNF-a/IL-4 (50 ng/ml) treatment that lasted for 18 h.
Project description:As environmental pollutants and possible carcinogens, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have recently been found to promote tumorigenesis and tumor metastasis after long-term pulmonary exposure. However, whether CNT-induced carcinogenesis can be inherited and last for generations remains unknown. Here, we establish a post-chronic single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) exposed human bronchial epithelium BEAS-2B cell model to investigate SWCNTs-induced carcinogenesis. At a tolerated sublethal dose level, post-chronic SWCNTs exposure significantly increases the migration and colony formation abilities of BEAS-2B cells, leading to cell malignant transformation. Notably, the malignant transformation of BEAS-2B cells is irreversible within 60 days recovery period after SWCNTs exposure, and the malignant transformation activities of cells gradually increase during the recovery period. Mechanism analyses show that post-chronic exposure to SWCNTs causes substantial DNA methylation and transcriptome dysregulation of BEAS-2B cells. Subsequent enrichment and clinical database analyses reveal that differentially expressed/methylated genes of BEAS-2B cells are enriched in cancer-related biological pathways, and several of these genes are validated in lung cancer patients.

Project description:We focused our analyses on the description of viral (CMV-?2b) and, based on genetic and molecular evidence, classified them and discussed their relevance in antiviral defense. Small RNAs from Arabidopsis plants from different genetic backgrounds infected with (CMV-?2b) were sequenced before or after immunoprecipitation with antibodies against key proteins involved in antiviral defense.
Project description:We report the differential expression of circRNAs between T-BEAS-2B cells (cadmium-transformed BEAS-2B cells) and C-BEAS-2B cells (passage-matched control BEAS-2B cells) by high-throughput sequencing. T-BEAS-2B cells are BEAS-2B cells transformed by cadmium at 2.0 μM for twenty weeks, and C-BEAS-2B cells are their passage-matched control. RNAs were sequenced on Illumina HiSeq Xten platform in triplicates, and expressions of circRNAs were calculated by TPM (transcripts per kilobase of exon model per million mapped reads). Clean data per sample exceeds 10 GB. We find 235 significantly up-regulated circRNAs and 271 significantly down-regulated circRNAs in T-BEAS-2B cells relative to C-BEAS-2B cells. Our work provides clues and evidence for exploring the mechanism of circRNAs in cadmium carcinogenesis.
