Project description:To investigate the role of the circadian clock gene Bmal1 in skeletal muscle, we compared the circadian transcriptomes of fast tibialis anterior (TA) and slow soleus (SOL) skeletal muscles from muscle-specific Bmal1 KO (mKO) and their control Cre- littermates (Ctrl). Keyword: Circadian Transcriptome, time course 72 samples were analyzed, comprised of 4 experimental groups (Ctrl SOL, mKO SOL, Ctrl TA, mKO TA), with 3 biological replicates for each time point sampled every 4 hours for 24 hours. SOL and TA muscles were collected from the same animals, as indicated by Source Animal ID data column
Project description:Skeletal muscle is heterogeneous in nature and distinguished as red muscle and white muscle because of their myofiber composition. Soleus (SOL) is a typical red muscle and extensor digitorum longus (EDL) is a typical white muscle. In this study, we compared the transcriptome difference of soleus and extensor digitorum longus from three 10-week-old Yorkshire boars with porcine Affymetrix microarray.

Project description:Introduction:
S-1 is promising drug which could replace 5-fluorouracil plus l-leucovorin (5-FU/l-LV) in treatment of advanced colorectal cancer.
Phase I/II study of S-1 plus Oxaliplatin (SOX) demonstrated its promising activity with acceptable toxicity as first-line chemotherapy in patients with untreated metastatic colorectal cancer and S-1 showed equivalent possibility to 5-FU/l-LV. On the other hand, phase I/II study of S-1 plus oral Leucovorin (S-1/LV) demonstrated that this regimen had enhanced efficacy in comparison with S-1 alone. From these results, it was expected that S-1/LV plus Oxaliplatin (SOL) would be more effective than SOX.
Therefore, phase I/II study of SOL combination therapy was planned.
Purpose A dose-finding study of S-1/LV plus Oxaliplatin (SOL) was planned to determine the recommended dose (RD), and to assess the response rate (RR) in patients with untreated metastatic colorectal cancer. The primary endpoints of the phase I portion are determination of the RD of SOL, and safety.
The phase II portion of this study was aimed to assess the RR of SOL.
Project description:Gene set enrichment analysis links several pathways are upregulated or downregulated in MCF7-6SA, compared to MCF7-CV. To elucidate the downstream signaling by which 6SA-Snail suppresses colonization, we first compared the expression profiles of MCF7-CV and MCF7-6SA with the use of microarray data. Through gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA), we found that several pathways were upregulated or downregulated in MCF7-6SA, compared to MCF7-CV. Of these, estrogen-dependent gene expression and estrogen receptor (ESR)-mediated signaling were among the most downregulated pathways in MCF7-6SA, which may contribute to the previously observed phenotypic changes in these ER+ cancer cell lines.
Project description:The draft genome of L. sativa (lettuce) cv. Tizian was sequenced in two Illumina sequencing runs, mate pair and shotgun. This entry contains the RAW sequencing data.
