Project description:To find potential lncRNAs participating in the regulation of microglial polarization, we employed microarray screening to find differentially expressed lncRNAs between resting and IL-4 stimulated primary cultured microglia
Project description:Purpose: Identification of the differentially expressed genes and metabolic pathways in resting and activated WT and BATF-deficient Treg cells Methods: RNA was purified from resting of stimulated (aCD3-CD38/IL-2 for 48 h)Treg cells isolated from WT or Foxp3CreBatffl/fl mice Results: Loss of BATF promotes triacylglycerol biosynthesis in Treg cells. Conclusions: BATF is crucial to coordinate the suppressive function and triacylglycerol metabolism of Treg cells.
Project description:To screen the differentially expressed lncRNAs, we performed lncRNA profiling using ArrayStar Human LncRNA Microarray in 24 new-onset systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients and 12 age- and sex-matched healthy controls (HCs). For the lncRNA microarray screening, total RNA from plasma was isolated from 12 SLE without nephritis, 12 lupus nephritis (LN) and 12 HCs. Four RNA samples were mixed togther as a pool of sample for microarray analysis. Accordingly, there were each three pooled RNA samples from 12 SLE without nephritis, 12 LN and 12 HCs for microarray analysis. Hierarchical clustering showed the plasma levels of lncRNAs and mRNAs differed significantly between 24 new-onset SLE patients and 12 control subjects. With a fold change ≥ 2 and P ≤ 0.05, we identified 1315 significantly differentially expressed lncRNAs (743 lncRNAs up-regulated and 572 lncRNAs down-regulated) and 1363 differentially expressed mRNAs (745 mRNAs up-regulated and 618 mRNAs down-regulated) in plasma of SLE patients compared with control samples.
Project description:Viral infection has a great impact on cellular expression profile of non-coding RNAs and genes. By microarray screening, our study identified 79 long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and 140 mRNAs that were differentially expressed in human lung epithelial A549 cells infected with Zika virus (ZIKV). The bioinformatics analysis indicated that many differentially expressed lncRNAs were located in same chromosome as the differentially expressed mRNAs; and these lncRNAs and mRNAs were involved in the host responses to viral infection, including the innate immune response.

Project description:To comprehensively identify the glucose-regulated lncRNAs, we have employed ArraryStar LncRNA Microarry discovery platform to detect lncRNA expression in glucose-starved and glucose-stimulated triple-negative breast cancer cells. Differentially expressed LncRNAs with statistical significance were identified through Volcano Plot filtering between two groups.
Project description:To explore the role of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in melanoma progression, we performed lncRNAs microarray to identify differentially expressed lncRNAs between primary melanoma and nevus.
Project description:In order to understand the role of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) and their interaction with coding RNAs in esophageal sqaumous cell cancer (ESCC), we performed genome-wide screening of the expression of lncRNAs and coding RNAs from primary ESCC tissue and adjacent normal tissue using Agilent SurePrint G3 Human GE 8x60K Microarray. By comparing ESCC tissues and matched normal tissues, differentially expressed lncRNAs and coding RNAs were identified and confirmed with PCR and other independent studies. We further identified a subset of co-located and co-expressed lncRNAs and coding RNAs using bioinformatic tools and the analysis suggested that a subset of lncRNAs may influence nearby genes involved in the genesis of ESCC. Four pairs of ESCC primary tumors and adjacent normal tissues were used for genome-scale microarray experiments, which included long noncoding RNAs and coding RNAs. Selected lncRNAs expressed in the experiment were validated on independent matched-pair samples with PCR method.
Project description:A total of 3,359 lncRNAs revealed by microarray analysis have been differentially expressed between the two groups, 1,995 lncRNAs identified to be up-regulated in COPD, whereas 1,364 lncRNAs have been down-regulated. Meanwhile，a total of 3,283 mRNAs have been differentially expressed, 2,589 mRNAs identified to be up-regulated in COPD, whereas 694 mRNAs were down-regulated.
Project description:Cytokines affect T cell responses by polarising them to different phenotypes. We isolated T cells from healthy platelet donors and cultured them in resting and stimulated conditions, as well as in the presence of Th1, Th2, Th17 and iTreg cocktail. In addition, T cells were stimulated in the presence of IL-10, IL-21, IL-27, IFNb and TNFa. We performed bulk RNA sequencing to assess impact of different disease-relevant cytokines upon T cell response.
