Project description:The aim of this study is to discover genes regulated by miR-204. Differential gene expression in HEK-293 cells transfected with miR-204-mimic compared to HEK-293 cells transfected with control oligo (HEK-293 control) was analyzed using the Agilent Human Whole Genome 4x44K gene expression array (Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, CA).

Differential gene expression in HEK-293 cells transfected with miR-204-mimic compared to HEK-293 cells transfected with control oligo (HEK-293 control) was analyzed using the Agilent Human Whole Genome 4x44K gene expression array (Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, CA). HEK-293 cells were transfected with either miR-204 or a control, and gene expression was analyzed using the Agilent Human Whole Genome 4x44K array. A dye-swap was performed.
Project description:Mononucleotide A and T repeats are abundant in human genome. Many of A repeats are bound by Argonaute proteins (AGOs). To evaluate the role of AGOs and A repeats in gene regulation, HEK293 cells were treated with 8-amino-3,6-dioxaoctanoic acid added peptide nucleic acid (PNA) AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA oligo (OO-A(15)).

To evaluate the role of AGOs and A repeats in gene regulation, HEK293 cells were treated with 8-amino-3,6-dioxaoctanoic acid added peptide nucleic acid (PNA) AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA oligo (OO-A(15)). Matched two sets of two individual HEK293 cells were transfected with OO-A(15) and scramble OO-PNA oligo, and were analyzed as biological duplicates. Cells were grown in DMEM (Gibco-BRL) according to the manufacturer’s protocol. OO-A(15) and scramble oligo were dilute with dH2O to reach 10μM. Cells were transfected in 6-well plates, seed 6 x 105 cells per well with 50 nM OO-A(15) and scramble oligo using TransIT-siQUEST transfection reagent (Mirus). The transfected cell lines were cultured for 48 h post-transfection and harvested total RNA by Trizol reagent (Invitrogen). All RNA integrity assays were performed and hybridized on beadchip according to the protocol.
Project description:We used high-throughput sequencing to investigate the genome-wide transcriptional response in human cells to treatment with Borrelia burgdorferi. We chose a time point of 72 h as ticks feed on their host for several days and at the same time the early response in Lyme disease is expected to occur at this time period at a cellular level. We found that the two cell models studied (HUVEC and HEK-293 cells) had significantly different responses. More significantly differentially expressed genes (69 in total) were found in HUVEC cells than in HEK-293 cells (8 in total). Functional analysis indicated induction of the immune response in HUVEC and suggest changes in the extracellular matrix in HEK-293.
Project description:HEK 293 cells with or without overexpression of ICER IIg were treated with forskolin for 0, 1 h, 2 h, 4 h or 8 h. The cell line used in the experiments is HEK 293 cells stable transfected with tetracycline-inducible ICER (Inducible cAMP early repressor) expression.
