Project description:To identify a cohort of rhythmically expressed genes in the murine Distal Colon,microarrays were used to measure gene expression over a 24-hour light/dark cycle.The rhythmic transcripts were classified according to expression patterns, functions and association with physiological and pathophysiological processes of the colon including motility, colorectal cancer formation and inflammatory bowel disease. Keywords: time series

Experiment Overall Design: Mice were maintained for 2 weeks on a 12 hour light/dark (LD) cycle (lights on 7 AM, lights off 7 PM) prior to all experiments. For the reference experiment, mice had ad libitum access to food. Samples were collected every four hours, at 0400, 0800, 1200, 1600, 2000 and 2400, starting 1 hour after the lights went on. Total RNA was isolated by modified guanidinium thicyanate-phenol-chloroform extraction method and was treated with DNase I (Promega, Madison, WI) at 37 oC for 30 minutes.Hybridizations and Scaning were done as per Affymetrix techniques. Three MOE 430 plus 2.0 chips were used per time point.
Project description:These studies adress differential changes in gene expression between sleep deprived and control mice. We profiled gene expression at four time points across the 24H Light/Dark cycle to take into account circadian influences and used three different inbred strains to understand the influence of genetic background. Keywords: brain, circadian, genetic background, sleep deprivation
Project description:The overall set of experiments consist of sampling a culture of the unicellular algae Ostreococcus tauri (wild type) every 4 hours over a period of 24h (6 time points). Each time point was performed with 5 replicate culture flasks, the cultures were grown under a 12:12 hour cycle (light:dark).

Project description:fapesp-bra-inra-10-01_bioen_hypocotyl - dark hypocotyls tor rnai - Transcriptional comparison between 2 TOR RNAi mutants versus GUS control. - Sowing after 24h imbibition at 4°C in the dark, on MS1/5, no sucrose, 10 mM ethanol, 8 g/l agar, vertical growth with 3h light, 6 days growth in the dark (20°C), hypocotyls were harvested under green light ; cotyledons and root were removed.
Project description:To investigate the role of miRNAs in the progression of colon cancer, we performed comprehensive miRMA microarray analysis on RNA derived from colon cancer tissues and normal colon tissues. We identified a novel set of colon cancer-related miRNAs.
Project description:These studies adress differential changes in gene expression between sleep deprived and control mice. We profiled gene expression at four time points across the 24H Light/Dark cycle to take into account circadian influences and used three different inbred strains to understand the influence of genetic background. Experiment Overall Design: Experiments were performed on male mice ( AKR/J (A), C57BL/6J (B), DBA/2J (D)), 12-13 weeks of age, purchased from Jackson Laboratory. Animals were housed in a light/dark cycle of 24 hrs with water and food available ad libitum. Mice of the 3 inbred strains were sleep deprived for 6h starting at light onset (ZT0), at the middle of the light (ZT6), at the beginning of the dark (ZT12), or at the middle of the dark (ZT18) period, and sacrificed together with their home-cage controls (n=9 / strain =3 / time =4 / condition =2; total =216 mice).
Project description:Male C57Bl/6 mice were randomized to undergo 5 days of i) a shiftwork protocol (SW; 10-hour light: 10-hour dark cycle) followed by myocardial infarction (MI) surgery, or ii) a normal environment (NSW; 12-hour light: 12-hour dark cycle) followed by MI surgery, or iii) the NSW protocol without MI, or iv) the SW protocol without MI. After 5 days, the SW and NSW light:dark cycles had realigned, and all mice were placed on a normal 12-hour light:12-hour dark cycle. MI was induced by left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery ligation at Zeitgeber Time 06 (ZT06; 6 hours after lights on). All mice were maintained on the normal 12-hour light:12-hour dark cycle thereafter. Hearts were collected at ZT06, 24 hours post-MI; hearts from the corresponding non-MI NSW and SW groups were also collected at ZT06. The microarray approach allows the investigation of transcriptome-wide gene expression changes in hearts from mice exposed to a shiftwork or normal light:dark cycle, both in the absence of MI and at 24 hours post-MI.
