Project description:Analysis of whole genome gene expression in control and PARKIN patient lines. The hypothesis tested in the present study was that the deficient of PARKIN expression affects multiple pathways. Results provide important information on relationship between PARKIN and mitochondria related gene expression. Total RNA obtained from patient fibroblast and iPSC compare to control fibroblast and iPSC.

Project description:To identify differentially regulated genes between wild-type and Pak1 deficient human breast cancer cells, we performed a comparative gene profiling study by using human whole genome arrays.
Project description:Comparison of the transcriptome of human kideny cancer cells either wild-type for FH or FH-deficient. The UOK262 cells were isolated from mediastinum metastasis of a HLRCC patient (Yang et al. Cancer Genetics and Cytogenetics, Volume 196, Issue 1, 1 January 2010, Pages 45–55). FH function was restored in the UOK262 by re-expressing the FH transcript from an exogenous plasmid.
Project description:In the biological systems, several genes are involved in protein glycosylation and deglycosylation pathways. Congenital disorders of deglycosylation (CDDG) are a set of disorders which occur due to the defect in genes involved in deglycosylation pathways. The only known CDDG so far is the defect in N-glycanase 1 (NGLY1), which primary function is to cleave the N-glycans from misfolded proteins prior to their proteasomal degradation. We used TMT-based N-glycoproteomics and proteomics on patient derived NGLY1 deficient and control fibroblasts to characterize the alteration in glycoproteome and proteome. 24 fractions of enriched glycopeptides after size exclusion chromatography (SEC) and 24 fractions after basic reverse phase liquid chromatography (bRPLC) were analyzed by LC-MS/MS for glycoproteomics and proteomics, respectively. We identified a total of 3,255 N-glycopeptides which were quantified on 550 glycosylation sites of 407 glycoproteins. A site specific aberrant glycosylation was observed for several extracellular matrix and cell adhesion proteins. By using quantitative proteomics, we detected 8,041 proteins. The alteration in expression of several proteins separated the affected individuals and controls. This is the first glycoproteomic study in patient derived NGLY1-CDDG fibroblasts. The glycoproteomics and proteomics analysis in NGLY1-CDDG provides the potential biomarkers and will increase our general understanding of its pathogenesis.
