Project description:Cytokine array analysis was performed on serum samples from mice undergoing either AP or NP wound therapy in the early stages of wound healing, specifically at 0, 0.5, 2, and 16 hrs post-injury.
Project description:Pancreatic cancer-derived cells NP-18 underwent four rounds of treatment with increasing doses of an adenoviral vector encoding TK enzyme and GCV. Surviving cells were termed NP-18AR and displayed decreased sensitivity to treatment. This experiment analyses the transcriptomic effect of TK/GCV treatment on NP-18AR as compared to that of NP-18 cells. Two-condition experiment, where response to treatment in naïve cells (NP-18) was compared to response to treatment in previously treated resistant cells (NP-18AR). Biological replicates: samples from 3 independently generated and independently treated NP-18AR lines (NP-18AR1, NP-18AR2 and NP-18AR3) were hibridized with 3 independently treated samples of NP-18 cells. A total of 9 hybridizations were performed, 2 for NP-18AR1 (including 1 dye-swap), 4 for NP-18AR2 (including 2 dye swaps) and 3 for NP-18AR3 (including 1 dye-swap).

Project description:Gene expression was analyzed in brains of 4 male selectively-bred alcohol-preferring (P) rats (generation 63) and 3 male alcohol non-preferring (NP) rats (generation 62) that were obtained from Dr. Richard L. Bell, Indiana University School of Medicine, Indianapolis, IN. These rats had never been exposed to alcohol. Individual rats from each group were hybridized separately to individual arrays (one array per rat). No duplicates are present. Originally, four NP samples were analyzed, but one was dropped because of quality control standards.
Project description:A diet rich in nucleic acids and protamin protein, termed as nucleoprotein was used for the study. Mice were fed with NP diets for 4 weeks followed by removal of the liver and spleen. Total RNA extracted from livers and spleens was pooled in each group (low NP or LNP-control, and 1.2% NP-treatment, diets), prior to DNA microarray analysis (Agilent mouse whole genome 4 x 44K). Results revealed 1373 & 3386 up (>1.5 fold)- and down (<0.75 fold)-regulated genes in the liver, and 252 & 1838 up- and down-regulated genes in the spleen, respectively following 1.2%NP diet. Analysis of genes related to NP diets will be discussed.
Project description:The combined effects of NP and MBP were much more toxic than NP or MBP exposed alone. We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression underlying cellularisation and identified distinct classes of up-regulated genes and miRNAs after treated with 0.1μM NP, 0.1mM MBP, 0.1μM NP+0.1mM MBP and solvent control.

Analysis of genes related to NP diets will be discussed. To investigate the effect of NP, we added S-nuclegen® at a concentration of 1.2% into CLEA basic purified diet (CLEA JAPAN, Inc., Tokyo, Japan) known to include nucleic acids (NAs) at much lower amounts than standard diet. By HPLC analysis CLEA basic purified diet (low NP), and 1.2% NP diet included 0.03%, and 0.5% NAs, respectively. Male C57BL/6J mice (13 weeks) were fed with NP diet for 4 weeks. The liver and spleen were removed and deep frozen in liquid nitrogen. Whole blood was also sampled from these mice, and frozen in liquid nitrogen. Total RNA extracted from livers and spleens was pooled in each group (control, lowNP or LNP; and treatment, 1.2%NP), prior to DNA microarray analysis (Agilent mouse whole genome 4 x 44K).
Project description:The physiological function of the intervertebral disc (IVD) depends on the cellular and molecular composition of the nucleus pulposus (NP), which plays a key role in managing the mechanical loading of the IVD.We conducted single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) analysis to better characterize the NP cells, particularly the Shh-tdTom+ NP cells, in the adult Shh-CreER; Rosa26tdTomato mice.
