Project description:We investigated whether pharamacological inhibition of Smyd3 by antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) can influence diethylnitrosamine (DEN)-induced liver cancer development. Our phenotypic analyses, among others, included gene expression profiling.
Project description:We performed high-throughput RNA sequencing to characterize possible differences in the transcriptome of primary human aortic Vascular Smooth Muscle cells abrogated of NEIL3 mRNA via antisense oligonucleotides targeting NEIL3 exon 4, compared with control cells treated with a scramble version of the same antisense oligonucleotide
Project description:We used microarrays to globally profile the gene expression changes observed in liver after 3 days when dosing antisense oligonucleotides in mice
Project description:We used microarrays to globally profile the gene expression changes observed after 24h when transfecting antisense oligonucleotides in HuH77 cells
Project description:We used microarrays to globally profile the gene expression changes observed after 10h and 24h when transfecting antisense oligonucleotides in HuH7 cells
Project description:This study examined the effects of antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) on the muscle transcriptome in a transgenic mouse model of myotonic dystrophy. Two ASOs were tested in HSALR transgenic mice. Both of the ASOs targeted mRNA from a human skeletal actin (hACTA1) transgene. This transgene contains an expanded CTG repeat in the 3M-bM-^@M-^Y untranslated region (UTR) (Mankodi et al M-bM-^@M-^\Myotonic dystrophy in transgenic mice expressing an expanded CUG repeatM-bM-^@M-^] Science 2000; 289:1769-72). ASO 445235 targeted the hACTA1 transcript in the 3M-bM-^@M-^Y UTR, downstream from the expanded repeat. ASO 190401 targeted the hACTA1 transcript in the coding region. The HSALR mice received 4 weeks of biweekly subcutaneous injections of vehicle (saline), ASO 190401, or ASO 445236 (n = 4 per group), at a dose of 25 mg/kg per injection. Wild-type mice of the same strain background received saline injections (n = 4). One week after the final injection, quadriceps muscle was harvested for RNA analysis. Four conditions, four arrays per condition, to compare WT and HSALR trangenic mice without treatment (saline) and to examine the effect of two oligos (vs. saline) in the HSALR transgenic mice.

Two ASOs were tested in HSALR transgenic mice. Both of the ASOs targeted mRNA from a human skeletal actin (hACTA1) transgene. This transgene contains an expanded CTG repeat in the 3’ untranslated region (UTR) (Mankodi et al “Myotonic dystrophy in transgenic mice expressing an expanded CUG repeat” Science 2000; 289:1769-72).
