Project description:To explore the effect of IDO-APT on T cell function, we conducted RNA transcriptome profiling of NPs, named as NP-Scr-APT in article, and NP-IDO-APT treated lymphocytes.
Project description:To get insight of molecular effects of bEV on HEK293T cells, we investigated transcriptomic response in bEV treated HEK293T cells We identified differentially expressed genes (DEGs) fold change cutoff = 1.5 in the bEV treated HEK293T cells These findings suggest that bEV would be putative ingredients by modulating signaling pathways in human cells
Project description:Frankincense oil is prepared from aromatic hardened wood resin obtained by tapping Boswellia trees. For thousands of years, it has been important both socially and economically as an ingredient in incense and perfumes. Frankincense oil is a botanical oil distillate made from fermented plants that contains boswellic acid, a component known to have anti-neoplastic properties. We evaluated frankincense oil-induced cytotoxicity in bladder cancer cells. With a window of concentration, frankincense oil suppressed cell viability and induced cytotoxicity in bladder transitional carcinoma J82 cells but not normal bladder urothelial UROtsa cells immortalized with SV40 large T antigen. However, frankincense oil-induced J82 cell death did not result in DNA fragmentation. Microarray and bioinformatics analysis confirmed that frankincense oil activated cell cycle arrest, suppressed cell proliferation, and activated apoptosis in J82 cells through a series of potential pathways. These finding suggest that bladder cancer can be treated through intravesical administration of pharmaceutical agents similar to direct application on melanoma.
Project description:Here we provide a set of 16 comparable transcriptome measures to monitor early changes in gene expression upon NP exposure. We evaluated A. thaliana response to 8 different types of NPs (metallic, carbonaceous and ranging from 10 to 80 nm) in comparison to biotic and abiotic stress inducers that represent most common environmental challenges for plants. Biotic stress was induced by infection with a necrotizing fungus (Alternaria brassicicola) or a hemibiotrophic bacterium (Pseudomonas syringae). Abiotic stresses induced by hypersaline conditions, drought and mechanical wounding were assayed in our plant growth model. The effect of abscisic acid (ABA), the most studied stress-responsive phytohormone which mediates stomatal closure and other reponses to drought and osmotic stress (ref), was also tested in the gene expression and phenotypes of NP-exposed plants. PART 1: Alternaria brassicicola (Abr), Pseudomonas syringae (Pst), saline stress (NaC), drought (drou), wounding (wou), 10nm TiO2 NPs (TiO2 10), 10nm AgNPs (Ag 10), bulk TiO2 (TiO), bulk AgNO3 (NO), Carbon Nanotubes NPs plus ABA (CNTs+). susana.garcias@ehu.es<a href=susana.garcias@ehu.es>additional contact details for submitter</a>
Project description:Mastic oil from Pistacia lentiscus variation chia, a blend of bioactive terpenes with recognized medicinal properties, has been recently shown to exert anti-tumor activity. Lewis lung carcinoma (LLC) cells are mastic oil-susceptible cells and were used in this work to study the effects of mastic oil at the transcriptomic level.
Project description:To investigate the role of lncRNAs on lipid metabolism, we did RNAseq to find the difference among large yellow croaker fed with fish oil (FO), soybean oil (SO), olive oil (OO), and palm oil (PO) diets
