Project description:P2X7 was significantly up-regulated in leukemia patients, especially in AML (MLL-AF9) and often related to poor prognosis.We compared the transcriptomic changes in MLL-AF9 induced mouse AML and overexpressed wP2X7 in MLL-AF9 induced AML. Engaged to explore the mechanism of P2X7 in leukemia progression. Mouse AML was induced by expressing MLL-AF9 in mouse HSPCs. Leukemia cells were divided into two groups, c-kit+ and c-kit-. Due to leukemia cells were nearly 95% c-kit+ in P2X7-overexpressed AML cells, we set up four groups of leukemia cells, namely leukemia total cells (V total), leukemia c-kit positive cells (V c-kit+), leukemia c-kit negative cells (V c-kit-), overexpressed wide type P2X7 leukemia cells (wP2X7).
Project description:Total RNA samples from three biological replicates in which TFEB was transiently overexpressed in HeLa cells by transfection using a pcDNA3 vector. As negative control, we used total RNA samples from HeLa cells transfected with an empty pcDNA3 vector. TFEB transfection
Project description:In order to identify the effects of transcription factor EB (TFEB) overexpression on the liver transcriptome, we performed Affymetrix GeneChip hybridization experiments on injected mice overexpressing TFEB specifically in the liver. For the analysis of the injected mice overexpressing TFEB, total RNA was extracted from the liver of three mice. RNA extracted from the liver of 3 not-injected mice was used as a control.
Project description:The largest germinal niche of the adult mammal brain locates at the ventricular zone (VZ), which is made up of adult neural stem cells (NSCs) and multiciliated ependymal cells (EPCs). Both NSCs and EPCs derive from radial glia (RG), whereas the transcriptomic dynamic changes of the cell fate continuum remain elusive. Here, we identified a key transcription factor TFEB that is important during EPC differentiation. We knockdown TFEB using siRNA and check gene expression changes upon TFEB depletion by RNA-seq.
Project description:Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is one of the most common and deadly forms of hematopoietic malignancies. We hypothesized that microarray studies could identify previously unrecognized expression changes that only occur only in AML blasts. We were particularly interested in those genes with increased expression in AML, believing that these genes may be potential therapeutic targets. Keywords: AML vs Normal hematopoietic cells
