Project description:Platelets are produced by megakaryocytes, deriving from megakaryocyte erythrocyte progenitors (MEP) in the bone marrow. Increased megakaryocyte expansion across common autoimmune diseases was shown for rheumatoid arthritis (RA), systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and primary Sjögren’s syndrome (pSS). In this context, we evaluated the role of the microbial-derived short chain fatty acid (SCFA) propionate on megakayriocytes in vitro. Using RNA sequencing we characterized the consequences of propionate exposure on the megakaryoblast cell line Meg-01.
Project description:GAS2DN could suppress the growth of chronic myeloid leukemia cells, including K562, MEG-01 and CD34+ cells from patients. In addition, GAS2DN inhibited the tumorigenic ability of MEG-01 cells in nude mice. To understand the molecular insight of this inhibitory effect of GAS2DN, global gene expression were performed. The control and GAS2DN-transduced MEG-01 cells were used for microarray analysis.

In addition, GAS2DN inhibited the tumorigenic ability of MEG-01 cells in nude mice. To understand the molecular insight of this inhibitory effect of GAS2DN, global gene expression were performed. The control and GAS2DN-transduced MEG-01 cells were used for microarray analysis. Three biological independent extracts of control and GAS2DN-transduced cells were pooled together with equal amount, and then the pooled samples were compared with Affymetrix chips.
Project description:Transcriptional profiling of the effect of shRNA silencing of Runx1 in human AMkL Meg-01 cells. RNA samples obtained from two independent colonies were compared to RNAs from negative control transductions in a two-color design. A total of four microarrays were completed, with a dye-swapped pair performed for each colony.

A total of four microarrays were completed, with a dye-swapped pair performed for each colony. Two-condition experiment, Runx1 knockdown vs. negative transduction controls. Biological replicates: 2 knockdown replicates, 2 control replicates.
Project description:Platelets from sickle cell disease patients have differentially expressed microRNAs as compared to platelets from healthy control subjects. The objective of this study is to overexpress an upregulated miRNA,miR-1225-3p, in MEG01 cells to identify putative targets. MEG-01 cells were transfected with microRNA-1225-3p mimic for overexpression. Simultaneously, a negative control (scrambled) RNA was transfected for comparison. Gene expression was measured at 24 hours after transfection. Five independent experiments were performed at the same time in each group: microRNA-1225-3p transfected and scrambled.
Project description:sRNAseq was conducted on four independently generated meg-3 meg-4 lines, and upregulation of sRNAs targeting several RNAi genes was found. mRNAseq found that the transcript levels for several of these genes was also down. meg-3 meg-4 mutants also showed a similar pattern of sRNA misregulation as the rde-11 mutant.
Project description:sRNAseq was conducted on the hrde-1; meg-3 meg-4 triple mutant, revealing that the hrde-1 mutation suppresses the rde-11 and sid-1 sRNA upregulation phenotype of meg-3 meg-4 mutants .
Project description:Worms were fed a dsRNA trigger against the pos-1 gene and subjected to sRNAseq to see if they could amplify the exogenous RNAi trigger. meg-3 meg-4 were not able to amplify the signal as robustly as wild-type.
Project description:chIP-on-chip analysis of GATA1 in the megakaryoblastic cell line Meg01. The IP was obtained with a GATA1 C-terminus antibody. The control sample was a normal goat IgG pull down done side by side with the GATA1 (C-20) antibody using the same soluble chromatin sample from non-treated Meg-01 cells. A 2-chip microarray set (Agilent 240K) was used for the chIP-on-chip analysis.
