Project description:We recently isolated and identified (7E)-9-oxohexadec-7-enoic acid (1) and (10E)-9-oxohexadec-10-enoic acid (2) from the marine algae Chaetoceros karianus. Synthesis and biological characterization show that these are PPARα/γ dual agonists. Herein we report the gene expression data from human SGBS pre-adipocytes, stimulated to differentiate with 1, 2 or the classical PPARγ agonist rosiglitazone. The transcriptome analysis shows that both compounds induce anti-diabetic gene programs in adipocytes by upregulating insulin-sensitizing adipokines and repressing pro-inflammatory cytokines.
Project description:Divergent functions of two clades of flavodoxin in diatoms mitigate oxidative stress and iron limitation Thalassiosira pseudonana and 4 open-ocean diatoms were subjected to iron limitation or short-term oxidative stress (hydrogen peroxide). mRNA profiles of T. pseudonana (CCMP1335), Thalassiosira oceanica (CCMP1005), Amphora coffeaeformis (CCMP1405), Chaetoceros sp. (CCMP199), and Cylindrotheca closterium (CCMP340).
