Project description:Global transcriptional profiling revealed that IL-17A induced artificial nutrient starvation conditions in Candida albicans, resulting in a downregulated target of rapamycin (TOR) signaling pathway and in increased autophagic responses and intracellular cAMP. We used microarray to detail the global programme of gene expression underlying IL17A sensing by Candida albicans at different time points (T0_0h T1_4h, T2_24h) and identified distinct classes of up-regulated and down regulated genes.

Project description:We investigate and define here the in vivo biological effects of shikonin, at the transcriptome and microRNA levels, in mouse skin tissues. Through cross-examination between total RNA transcripts and microRNA data sets, we predicted that shikonin treatment may affect the epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT) process and the expression of related microRNAs, including 200a, 200b, 200c, 141, 205 and 429 microRNAs, in test skin tissue. Indeed, further in vivo tests on mouse abdominal skin tissue confirmed the stimulatory effect of shikonin on regulatory molecules of the EMT process in epidermal tissue. In addition, RT-PCR analyses confirmed the downregulating effects of shikonin on the expression of microRNA 205 and members of the microRNA 200 family, which are known to be involved in the EMT process. Gene expression of two RNA targets of the microRNA 200 family in EMT regulation, namely Sip1 (Zeb2) and Tcf8 (Zeb1), were consistently upregulated by shikonin treatment. We demonstrate here that shikonin can confer a potent stimulatory effect on the EMT process and suppress the associated-microRNAs expression in vivo in skin tissues. In order to systematically evaluate the effects of shikonin on mouse skin tissues, we next compared the gene expression profiles in shikonin-treated and acetone-treated skin tissues at different time points. Total RNA samples were collected at indicated time points for transcriptome and microRNA array analyses.

Project description:Dysregulation of microRNA (miRNA) expression contributes to the pathogenesis of several clinical conditions. The aim of this study is to evaluate the associations between miRNAs and childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) to discover their clinical and therapeutic implications. Forty-three children with ALL and 14 age-matched healthy controls were included in the study. MicroRNA microarray expression profiling was used for peripheral blood and bone marrow samples. Aberrant miRNA expressions associated with the diagnosis and outcome were prospectively evaluated. Confirmation analysis was performed by real time RT-PCR. miR-128, miR-146a, miR-155, miR-181a, miR-195 were significantly dysregulated in ALL patients at day 0. Following a six-month treatment period, the change in miRNA levels was determined by real time RT-PCR and expression of miR-146a, miR-155, miR-181a, miR-195 significantly decreased. Forty-three children with ALL and 14 age-matched healthy controls were included in the study.

Project description:Aspergillus fumigatus is a ubiquitous mould but also an opportunistic human pathogen causing life-threatening infections in immunocompromised patients. Survival of the fungus in different habitats depends on effective mechanisms of signal perception and transduction such as the cAMP dependent protein kinase A (PKA) pathway, which is involved in virulence of A. fumigatus. Here, by transcriptome analysis putative targets of this important signaling cascade were identified, revealing 632 differently regulated genes including 23 putative transcriptional regulators. The highest up-regulated transcription factor gene was located in the until now unknown fmp secondary metabolite gene cluster encoding an incomplete non-ribosomal peptide synthetase as core enzyme. Overexpression of the fmp cluster resulted in formation of fumipyrrole, which was not described as natural product yet. Although genes of the fmp cluster are transcribed in infected mouse lungs, deletion of its regulatory gene fmpR resulted in wild-type virulence in a murine infection model.

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of endogenous, non-coding RNAs that mediate post-transcriptional gene silencing by inhibiting mRNA translation and promoting mRNA decay. DICER1, an RNAse III endonuclease encoded by Dicer1, is required for processing short 21-22 nucleotide miRNAs from longer double-stranded RNA precursors. Here, we investigate the loss of Dicer1 in mouse postnatal male germ cells to determine how disruptions in the miRNA biogenesis pathway may contribute to infertility. Reduced levels of Dicer1 transcripts and DICER1 were confirmed in germ cell knock-out (GCKO) testes by postnatal day 18 (P18). Compared to wild-type (WT) at 8 weeks, GCKO males had no change in body weight, yet showed significant reductions in testis mass and sperm number. Histology and fertility tests confirmed spermatogenic failure in GCKO males. Array analyses at P18 showed 96% of miRNA genes were down-regulated and 37% of protein-coding genes were differentially expressed in GCKO testes. Interestingly, we observed preferential overexpression of genes on the sex chromosomes in GCKO testes, with more than 80% of the genes overlapping those proposed to undergo meiotic sex chromosome inactivation (MSCI) in the germ cells. Compared to WT, GCKO mice showed higher percentages of cells at early meiotic stages (leptotene and zygotene) but lower percentages at later stages (pachytene, diplotene and metaphase I), providing evidence that deletion of Dicer1 leads to disruptions in meiotic progression. Furthermore, we observed fewer elongating spermatids with proper translational activation of transition protein 2 (Tnp2), protamine 1 and 2 (Prm1 and Prm2) in GCKO testes after step 12-14. Therefore, deleting Dicer1 in early postnatal germ cells causes misregulation of transcripts encoded by genes on the sex chromosomes, impairs meiotic progression and post-meiotic translational control and results in spermatogenic failure and infertility. Total RNA, including miRNAs, were purified from a total of six individual mouse samples. The tissue collected was obtained from wild-type (control; n=3) and Dicer1 germ cell knockout (mutant; n=3) testes on P18. One miRNA GCKO sample, M36, was determined to be of poor quality and was excluded from the study; thus, a total of five miRNA samples were analyzed.

Project description:The liver has the unique capacity to regenerate after surgical resection. However, the regulation of liver regeneration is not completely understood. We performed miRNA microarray analyses of liver tissue from Wistar rats at different time points after 70% partial hepatectomy (0, 2, 6, 12, 24, 48 hours, and 5 days) and after sham laparotomy (12, 24, and 48 hours). We demonstrate that miRNA expression patterns changed during liver regeneration and that these changes were most evident during the peak of DNA replication at 24 hours after resection. Expression of 13 miRNAs, including five members of the let-7 family, was significantly reduced 12-48 hours after resection, whereas 3 miRNAs were significantly upregulated (> 25% change). We provide a temporal miRNA expression dataset of the regenerating rat liver, which indicates a primary function for miRNA during the peak of DNA replication. These data will assist further functional studies on the role of miRNAs during liver regeneration. This project analyzed the miRNA expression in 30 different sample types of the organism rattus norvegicus. The miRNA expression was compared at 7 different growth time points after liver resection (0, 2, 6, 12, 24, 48 hours, 5 days) and at 3 different time points after sham laparotomy (12, 24, and 48 hours). Three biological replicates were used per time point.

Project description:Aspergillus fumigatus is an opportunistic, airborne pathogen causing invasive aspergillosis in immunocompromised patients. During the infection process A. fumigatus is challenged by hypoxic microenvironments occurring in inflammatory, necrotic tissue. To gain further insights into the adaptation mechanism, A. fumigatus was cultivated in an oxygen-controlled chemostat under hypoxic and normoxic conditions. Transcriptome analysis revealed significant increases in transcripts associated with cell wall polysaccharide metabolism, amino acid and metal ion transport, nitrogen metabolism and glycolysis. A concomitant reduction in transcript levels was observed with cellular trafficking and G-protein coupled signaling. To learn more about the functional roles of hypoxia-induced transcripts we deleted A. fumigatus genes putatively involved in reactive nitrogen species detoxification (fhpA), NAD+ regeneration (frdA, osmA) nitrogen metabolism (niaD, niiA) and respiration (rcfB). We show that the NO-detoxifying flavohemoprotein fhpA is strongly induced by hypoxia independent of the nitrogen source, but is dispensable for hypoxic survival. By deleting the nitrate reductase gene niaD, the nitrite reductase gene niiA and the two fumarate reductases genes frdA and osmA, we found that alternative electron acceptors such as nitrate and fumarate do not have a significant impact on growth of A. fumigatus during hypoxia, but that functional mitochondrial respiratory chain complexes are essential under these conditions. Inhibition studies indicated that primarily complex III and IV play a crucial role in the hypoxic growth of A. fumigatus.

Project description:This experiment was performed with an aim to establish an early diagnostic marker for breast cancer based on the DNA methylation patterns. CpG Island were identified and amplified from the breast cancer related genomic loci. These selected loci were amplified using PCR from different human breast tissue samples. The samples included Breast cancer tissues and macroscopically normal tissues (3-5cm away from tumor) from breast cancer patients, benign breast tissues and healthy breast tissues from cancer free patients. All the genomic loci amplified from one particular tissue sample were pooled, biotin labeled and hybridized to a self designed and synthesised oligonucleotide microarray. The obtained signals were statistically analysed and the genomic loci which could differentiate the different kinds of breast tissues used based on their methylation levels are being reported.
