Project description:When recruiting Balb/c mice for projects concerning corneas, we found that some mice presented corneal abnormality mimicking human corneal degenerations. The mice were unilaterally or bilaterally affected. The corneas of unilaterally affected mice were collected and pooled respectively into Normal and Degenerative samples. RNA was prepared and subjected to dual-labeling microarray analysis using the Capital Bio work station.

Project description:In order to find out the vital genes during the corneal neovascularization (CNV), we set up two CNV models, one being induced by suture placement and the other by alkali burn to the corneal center. Young adult Balb/c and C57BL/6 were used. The corneas were checked daily for CNV development and some of the corneas were removed at two pre-determined time points for RNA extraction. Preliminary experiment indicated slightly different dynamics in suture- or chemical burn-induced CNV. Vigorous growth appeared at day 5 and day 6 in S-CNV and CB-CNV, and reached maximum length around day 10 and day 14, respectively, in S-CNV and CB-CNV. To check whether genetic MHC background has any effect on development of CNV, we compared CB-CNV in Balb/c and C57BL/6 mice at day 6. Corneas from Balb/c mice were isolated 5 and 10 days after suture-induced CNV, and 6 and 14 days after chemical burn-induced CNV. Corneas from C57BL/6 mice were isolated 6 days after chemical burn-induced CNV. Each time point had two or three biological replications.

Project description:Molecular genetic studies of Bombyx mori have led to profound advances in understanding the regulation of development. Bombyx mori brain, as a main endocrine organ, plays important regulatory roles in various biological processes. The microarray technology will allow the genome-wide analysis of gene expression patterns in silkworm brains. We reported microarray-based gene expression profiles in silkworm brains at four stages including V7, P1, P2 and P3. A total of 4,550 genes were transcribed in at least one selected stage. Of these, clustering algorithms separated the expressed genes into stable expressed genes and variable expressed genes. The results of the gene ontology (GO) and kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes (KEGG) analysis of stable expressed genes showed that the ribosomal and oxidative phosphorylation pathways were principal pathways. Secondly, four clusters of genes with significantly different expression patterns were observed in the 1,175 variable expressed genes. Thirdly, thirty-two neuropeptide hormones genes, nine neuropeptide-like precursor genes, and 117 cuticular protein genes were expressed in selected developmental stages. The present study defined major characteristics of the transcriptional profiles in the brains of Bombyx mori at the specific development stages. Our data will provide abundant information that will be useful in future research. Transcription profiling experiments, 4 developmental stages (samples) were analyzed. Dual-channel experiments, with test samples labeled by Cy5 and common reference samples labeled by Cy3. Common reference sample was used for data normalization. One Biological replicate. No dye-swaps.

Project description:The molting of insects is a complex biological progress which requires varies of genes to participate in the event. MicroRNAs are considered to be one of the key roles involved in development in many organisms. Microarray technology was employed to examine the expression profile of multiple genes after extrinsical up-regulation of miR-1 level by injection of miR-1 mimics in silkworm (Bombyx mori.L), which caused altered expression profile of numerous genes, especially those which involved in the processes of cuticle renewing and development. 814 genes were up-regulated and 636 were down-regulated after treated with miR-1 mimics, the rest 2961 detectable genes were considered to have no significant changes in expression level. Transcription profiling experiments, 3 pairs of samples (miR-1 injected and negative control) were analyzed. Dual-channel experiments, with control samples labeled by Cy5 and miR-1 injected samples labeled by Cy3. Fold change was calculated via comparing signal intensity of Cy3 vs Cy5. 3 biological replicates were performed.

Project description:Polycomb group (PcG) proteins are involved in chromatin modifications for maintaining gene repression that play important roles in the regulation of gene expression, tumorigenesis, chromosome X-inactivation, and genomic imprinting in Drosophila melanogaster, mammals, and even plants. PcG proteins act together in three multimeric complexes, Polycomb repressive complex 1 (PRC1), Polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2), and Pleiohomeotic repressive complex (PhoRC), to repress transcription of the target genes. Here, we identified Polycomb target genes in Bombyx mori using genome-wide expression screening based on the knockdown of the BmSCE, BmESC, BmPHO, or BmSCM gene, which represent the distinct complexes. As a result, most genes were up-regulated after knocking down these four PcG genes, which indicated a potential epigenetic mechanism on the regulation of these genes expression by the PcG system. The further analysis of our data will provide some important information for the regulation mediated by PcG proteins in Bombyx mori. Transcription profiling experiments, knockdowns of four Polycomb genes (four samples) in silkworm BmN4-SID1 cells, were analyzed. Dual-channel experiments, with test samples labeled by Cy5 and common reference samples labeled by Cy3. The common reference sample, knockdown of the EGFP gene in BmN4-SID1 cells, was used for data normalization. One biological replicate. No dye-swaps.

Project description:Insect cuticle plays essential roles in multiple physiological functions. During molting and metamorphosis, tremendous changes occur in silkworm cuticles. Silkworm is a model of Lepidoptera insects; however, little is known about the stage expression profiles of genes in cuticles of silkworm. In the present study, we selected 16 developmental stages, ranging from day 1 of the first instar larvae to day 8 of pupae, to perform microarray-based expression profiles. The data told us that various functions and physiological pathways were activated in the cuticle. Moreover, the expression profiles of cuticular protein genes, as the important components of cuticle, were investigated. The current study provides important insights for the functional study of insect cuticle and the regulation of insect cuticular protein genes. Transcription profiling experiments, 16 developmental stages (samples) were analyzed. Dual-channel experiments, with test samples labeled by Cy5 and common reference samples labeled by Cy3. Common reference sample was used for data normalization. One biological replicate. No dye-swaps.

Project description:The transcription factor slug represses genes with E-box and then activates cancer stem cell related pathway: Wnt, Notch and Hedgehog pathway. Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) of slug by ChIP-on-chip analysis demonstrated that slug indirectly activates cancer stem cell related pathway and thus promotes vasculogenic mimicry formation. Comparison of HepG2-control in regular culture, HepG2-slug in regular culture and HepG2-slug on Matrigel.

Project description:This study examines how histone modification confers salt stress in Arabidopsis. The floral initiator SKB1 is found to mediate the plant’s response to salt stress by altering the methylation status of histone H4R3 and of the small nuclear ribonucleoprotein (snRNP) LSM4, and thereby affecting the expression of stress-responsive genes. Total RNA was isolated with Trizol reagent (Invitrogen) from eleven11-day-old seedlings of the wild type and skb1-1 mutant without or with 200 mM NaCl for 6 hrs. 29k Arabidopsis Genome Array hybridization was carried out by CapitalBio Corporation (Beijing, China).
