Project description:Previous study has shown that alpha1ACT is a transcription factor involved with regulating neuronal gene expression. We performed a time-series RNA-seq study using pc12 cell lines stably expressing pcDNA3-alpha1ACT at 4 time points (6hr, 24hr, 3day, and 10day) to explore the transcriptional profiles that capture transient and prolonged dynamic changes regulated by alpha1ACT during cell cycle and differentiation
Project description:Molecular responses to MEK inhibition in cancer cells are complex and dynamic. We performed a time-series experiment to measure global RNA expression changes following treatment with the MEK inihibor U0126
Project description:To investigate the collective role of zinc finger proteins in adipogenesis, we induced adipogenesis using human mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) and compared the gene expression profiles using human Illumina beads arrays. We performed three independent experiments of time-series analysis (0h, 1h, 12h, 24h, 2d, 4d, 6d, 9d, 12d, 15d after induction of adipogenesis) in order to comprehensively capture the dynamic profiles of transcriptome during differentiation. Statistical filtering based on Analysis of Variance (ANOVA; p-value < 0.001, FDR 5%) and Gene Ontology classification using the Human Gene Nomenclature Database (HGNC) identified 618 out of 678 zinc finger proteins (ZFPs) that were significantly expressed during adipogenesis. Moreover, 34 out of 618 genes were differentially expressed more than 2-fold up or down regulated. The K-means clustering analysis further revealed four dynamic expression patterns: one gene in early-response, seven genes in transient, twenty genes in progressively-induced and four genes in the down-regulated, demonstrating the dynamic involvement of ZFPs in the process of adipocyte differentiation and maturation.
