Project description:The expression of the mciroRNA, miR-153 is significantly altered in neural stem cells (NSCs) following exposure to the teratogens, alcohol and nicotine (PMIDs:22458409, 17687032). To better understand how miR-153 may mediate teratogenesis, we first needed to identify miR153 targets in fetal NSCs. Gestational day 12.5 fetal mouse cortical neural epithelium was isolated and grown as neurospheres in defined medium for studies. We overexpressed miR-153 in fetal NSCs for 24 hours in a transient transfection assay, and profiled mRNA expression using a microarray platform (codelink array) to identify potential target genes. Over expression of pre-miR-153 resulted in a ~32-fold induction of miR-153 compared to the transfection control. Transcript profiles were assessed from RNA samples (6 independent replicates in each condition) hybridized to codelink microarrays according to manufacturer's protocols. Data analysis showed that miR-153 overexpression resulted in statistically significant down-regulation of 102 genes (at a false discovery rate α=0.1, of a total of 860 transcripts down-regulated by ≥1.3-fold). These data suggested the role of this miRNA in moderately controlling expression hundreds of gene transcripts. These regulated genes may be important in controlling neural stem cell differentiation and downstream signaling pathways. Six independent replicates were performed for control and treatment groups, and twelve independent single channel intensity values were uploaded after normalization for analysis independent single channel intensity values were uploaded after normalization

Project description:Analysis of ex vivo isolated lymphatic endothelial cells from the dermis of patients to define type 2 diabetes-induced changes. Results preveal aberrant dermal lymphangiogenesis and provide insight into its role in the pathogenesis of persistent skin inflammation in type 2 diabetes. The ex vivo dLEC transcriptome reveals a dramatic influence of the T2D environment on multiple molecular and cellular processes, mirroring the phenotypic changes seen in T2D affected skin. The positively and negatively correlated dLEC transcripts directly cohere to prolonged inflammatory periods and reduced infectious resistance of patients´ skin. Further, lymphatic vessels might be involved in tissue remodeling processes during T2D induced skin alterations associated with impaired wound healing and altered dermal architecture. Hence, dermal lymphatic vessels might be directly associated with T2D disease promotion. Global gene expression profile of normal dermal lymphatic endothelial cells (ndLECs) compared to dermal lymphatic endothelial cells derived from type 2 diabetic patients (dLECs).Quadruplicate biological samples were analyzed from human lymphatic endothelial cells (4 x diabetic; 4 x non-diabetic). subsets: 1 disease state set (dLECs), 1 control set (ndLECs)

Project description:Aging and neurodegeneration are often accompanied by a functionally impaired ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS). In tauopathies and polyglutamine diseases a mutant form of Ubiquitin B, UBB+1, accumulates in disease-specific aggregates. UBB+1 mRNA is generated at low levels in vivo during transcription from the Ubiquitin B locus by molecular misreading. The resulting mutant protein has been shown to inhibit proteasome function. To elucidate causative effects and neuropathological consequences of UBB+1 accumulation, we used a UBB+1 expressing transgenic mouse line, that models UPS inhibition in neurons and exhibits behavioral phenotypes reminiscent of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). In order to reveal affected organs and functions, young and aged UBB+1 transgenic mice were comprehensively phenotyped for more than 240 parameters. This revealed unexpected changes in spontaneous breathing patterns and an altered response to hypoxic conditions. Our findings point to a central dysfunction of respiratory regulation in transgenic mice in comparison to wildtype littermate mice. Accordingly, UBB+1 was strongly expressed in brainstem regions of transgenic mice controlling respiration. These regions included, for example, the medial part of the nucleus of the tractus solitarius and the lateral subdivisions of the parabrachial nuclei. In addition, UBB+1 was also strongly expressed in these anatomical structures of AD patients (Braak stage #6) and was not expressed in non-demented controls. We conclude that long-term UPS inhibition due to UBB+1 expression causes central breathing dysfunction in a transgenic mouse model of AD. The UBB+1 expression pattern in humans is consistent with the contribution of bronchopneumonia as a cause of death in AD patients. 12 animals were analysed (6 Ubb+1 transgenic animals, 6 wildtype animals) on MOE430A/B arrays (for MOE430A one wt was omitted).

Project description:We have studied the genes activated in human liver transplantation to identify potential target genes for the prevention or treatment of related injuries. In a first protocol, in order to evaluate the effect of Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury (IRI) on gene expression profile, we compared gene expression levels in transplanted-reperfused livers versus basal values in donor livers, identifying 795 genes significantly modified in human liver after transplantation. Some genes are likely to be completely activated by IRI, as they are not expressed at all in basal livers. In a second protocol, in order to identify gene dysregulations already present in donor livers, which might affect gene expression profile after transplantation, gene expression evaluated in the first study was compared to control livers (espression data retrieved from ArrayExpress database). About 900 genes in donor livers are dysregulated if compared to the control condition. At least 400 of them remain dysregulated or become more and more dysregulated after transplantation. For the first protocol, two biopsies were collected from each liver: 1 biopsy before explantation from the donor, immediately after opening, before ice was applied, and 1 biopsy about 2-3 hours after liver reperfusion in the recipient organism. Gene expression of 5 transplanted livers was compared to that of 5 donor livers. In the second protocol gene expression both of transplanted and donor livers was compared to gene expression data from 5 control livers retrieved from ArrayExpress repository SAMPLE ID: E-AFMX-11. This dataset is part of the TransQST collection.

Project description:Human epidermal keratinocytes undergo tightly controlled program of cell differentiation, leading to the formation of cornified envelope. Primary keratinocytes in vitro, under calcium stimulation mimic the differentiation program observed in vivo. Analysis of the transcription profile of two cell population, such as proliferating cells and differentiating cells helps to discover new genes implicated in that process and to understand the mechanisms of regulation of the keratinocyte differentiation. Primary human keratinocytes were cultured under proliferating (Day 0, sub-confluent cells) and differentiating (seven days of high calcium medium) conditions. As a source of cells, we used normal skin from different body sites: back, foreskin, palmoplantar. RNA extracted from cultured primary human keratinocytes were isolated from five different donors. We compared the expression profiles of proliferating versus differentiating keratinocytes.

Project description:In order to understand whether sole Cre recombinase expression has an effect on stress signalling pathways and the peroxisomal or other subcellular compartments, we have analyzed total RNA isolated from Sertoli cell cultures of anti-Müllerian-hormone (AMH)-Cre/wild-type and wild-type/wild-type C57BL/6J mouse testes using microarrays. The Sertoli cells were isolated from individual 14 day-old mice and were cultivated for 7 days. Total RNA was isolated from the Sertoli cell culture (for AMH-Cre/WT 5 mice and WT/WT 3 mice) and the same genotypes were pooled together. For the microarray analysis two technical replicates for each genotype were generated.

Project description:As sessile organisms plants developed a veriety of adaptive responses to the ever changing environment. One of these responses is the shade avoidance syndrome which is composed of different responses like elongation growth, hyponastic leafs or early flowering to shade (low R/FR). Phytochrcome Interacting Factor 4 and 5 are bHLH transcription factors reported to activate gene expression upon perception of low R/FR. Using this miroarray experiment we identified new genes regulated by PIF4 and PIF5 in response to shade and investigated their genome wide role. Here pif4pif5 double mutant, pif5 single mutant and PIF5 overexpressing line were compared to Col-0 wild type A. thaliana plants when grown under 12:12 DL circles for 14 days in high R/FR and either kept in high R/FR or transferred to low R/FR for additional 2 hours

Project description:Phytochromes are red/far red photosensors regulating numerous developmental programs in plants. Among them phytochrome A (phyA) is essential to enable seedling de-etiolation in continuous far-red (FR) light a condition mimicking the environment under a dense canopy. The ecological relevance of this response is demonstrated by the high mortality rate of phyA mutants germinating in deep vegetational shade. phyA signaling involves a direct interaction of the photoreceptor with members of the bHLH transcription factor family, PIF1 and PIF3 (Phytochrome Interacting Factor). Here we investigated the involvement of PIF4 and PIF5 in phyA signaling and found that they redundantly control de-etiolation in FR light. The pif4pif5 double mutant is hypersensitive to low fluence rates of FR light. This phenotype is dependent on FR light perception by phyA but does not rely on alterations of the phyA level. Our microarrays analysis shows that PIF4 and PIF5 are part of an inhibitory mechanism repressing the expression of some light-responsive genes in the dark and are also needed for full expression of several growth-related genes in the light. Unlike PIF1 and PIF3, PIF4 and PIF5 are not degraded in response to FR light indicating that they are light-regulated by a different mechanism. Our genetic analysis suggests that this is achieved through the sequestration of these PIFs by the closely related bHLH transcription factor HFR1 (long Hypocotyl in FR light). Experiment Overall Design: he pif4pif5 double mutant were compared to wild-type plants when kept in the dark or subjected to 1 or 24 hours of 0.5 or 5 µmol/m2/s far-red light respectively.

Project description:The plasticity of cancer stem cells (CSCs)/tumor-initiating cells (T-ICs) indicates that multiple CSC/T-IC subpopulations exist within a tumor and multiple oncogenic pathways collaborate to maintain the CSC/T-IC state. Here, we aimed to enrich for T-ICs from clinical ESCC tissues. A chemoresistant human esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) patient-derived xenograft model was employed to identify miRNA(s) that contribute to ESCC aggressiveness. We used microarrays to demenstrate the microRNA expression underlying different pretreated conditions. NOG mice bearing subcutaneous tumor xenografts derived from clinical ESCC cells were intraperitoneally treated with CDDP or PBS twice weekly for three weeks. Tumor cells were then isolated and re-inoculated subcutaneously into NOG mice for the next round of treatment. In the 4th round of treatment, the volume of tumors in both CDDP- and PBS-treated groups were approximately the same, suggesting that the cells in CDDP-treated tumors were becoming resistant to CDDP. microRNA expression was measured by RNA extraction from cisplatin-treated tumors (EC-CR) or PBS-treated tumors(EC-UT) after 4 round of treatment,two microarrays were performed for each sample.
