Project description:These arrays contain data from gonodal adipose tissue of aP2-Pex5 -/- male mice 4 arrays from gonadal adipose tissue from control mice (Swiss background) are compared with 4 arrays from gonadal adipose tissue of aP2-Pex5 knockout mice. The latter lack functional peroxisomes in adipose tissue.

Project description:The acquisition of water and nutrients by plant roots is a fundamental aspect of agriculture and strongly depends on root architecture. Root branching and expansion of the root system is achieved through the development of lateral roots and is to a large extent controlled by the plant hormone auxin. However, the pleiotropic effects of auxin or auxin-like molecules on root systems complicate the study of lateral root development. Here we describe a small-molecule screen in Arabidopsis thaliana that identified naxillin as what is to our knowledge the first non-auxin-like molecule that promotes root branching. By using naxillin as a chemical tool, we identified a new function for root cap-specific conversion of the auxin precursor indole-3-butyric acid into the active auxin indole-3-acetic acid and uncovered the involvement of the root cap in root branching. Delivery of an auxin precursor in peripheral tissues such as the root cap might represent an important mechanism shaping root architecture. To further explore the specificity of naxillin for lateral root development, we compared the early effects of naxillin at the transcriptome level with NAA (1-Naphthaleneacetic acid) in roots of 3-day-old seedlings after 2-h and 6-h treatment. Arabidopsis thaliana (L). Heynh., Col-0 seeds were germinated vertically on solid medium derived from standard MS medium supplemented with 10 μM NPA (1-N-Naphthylphthalamic acid). Three days after germination, plants were transferred to 10 μM NAA (1-Naphthaleneacetic acid) or 50 μM naxillin for 2 and 6 hours. Plants were sampled before (Roots at T0, NPA) or after treatment (Roots at T1 and T2). RNA isolation was performed on 500 root sections (only root without meristems) for each sample. All sampling points were performed in three independent experiments.

Project description:The goal of this study is to identify co-expressed genes downstream of Atonal and Senseless. These gene lists are used as candidate target genes (technically: as foreground sets) in computational predictions of cis-regulatory elements using the cisTargetX method (http://med.kuleuven.be/cme-mg/lng/cisTargetX). Together, the gene expression results and cis-regulatory predictions, yield a gene regulatory network underlying the early events in retinal differentiation. Predicted cis-regulatory interactions have been validated extensively in vivo using enhancer reporter assays and genetic perturbations. Six samples were analyzed for Atonal gain-of-function (GOF) in the eye-antennal imaginal discs of third instar larvae of Drosophila melanogaster, namely three biological repeats for two different Gal4 drivers (Gal4/7 and AtoGal), crossed with UASato. Three samples were analyzed for Atonal loss-of-function (LOF) in the eye-antennal imaginal discs, namely three biological repeats of ato-/- larvae. Three samples were analyzed for Senseless GOF, namely three biological repeats of atoGal4 crossed with UASsens. Finally, eight control samples were analyzed, namely two biological repeats of four different lines (atoGal4, Gal4/7, UASato, and cantonS wild type).

Project description:Lymph node involvement is the most important prognostic factor in breast cancer, but little is known about the underlying molecular changes. First, to identify a molecular signature associated with nodal metastasis, gene expression analysis was performed on a homogeneous group of 96 primary breast tumors, balanced for lymph node involvement. Each tumor was diagnosed as a poorly differentiated, estrogen positive, her2-neu negative invasive ductal cancer. (Affymetrix Human U133 Plus 2.0 microarray chips). A model, including 241 genes was built and validated on an internal and external dataset performed with Affymetrix technology. All samples used for validation had the same characteristics as the initial tumors. The area under the ROC curve (AUC) for the internal dataset was 0.646 and 0.651 for the external datasets. Thus, the molecular profile of a breast tumor reveals information about lymph node involvement, even in a homogeneous group of tumors. However, an AUC of 0.65 indicates only a weak correlation. Our model includes multiple kinases, apoptosis related and zinc ion binding genes. Pathway analysis using the Molecular Signatures Database revealed relevant gene sets (BAF57, Van 't Veer). Next, miRNA profiling was performed on 82/96 tumors using Human MiRNA microarray chips (Illumina). Eight miRNAs were significantly differentially expressed according to lymph node status at a significance level of 0.05, without correcting for multiple testing. The analysis of the inverse correlation between a miRNA and its computationally predicted targets point to general deregulation of the miRNA machinery potentially responsible for lymph node invasion. In conclusion, our results provide evidence that lymph node involvement in breast cancer is not a random process. Gene expression profiling: A training set of 96 patients and an independent internal dataset of 20 patients balanced for lymph node involvement was selected from the multidisciplinary breast centre database miRNA profiling not provided in this Series.

Project description:Van Marck et al. (Cancer Research, 2005) published that overexpression of P-cadherin in a melanoma cell line promoted homo- and heterotypic cell-cell adhesion, induced an epitheloïd morphology, and impaired cancer cell invasion. Therefore, we wanted to compare the RNA expression profile between the empty vector control cells and the P-cadherin overexpression variant. This experiment could provide us with effector molecules of P-cadherin that mediate its anti-invasive function. 2 samples were analyzed, each with 2 replicates

Project description:The hypothalamus is a functionally and cellularly complex tissue controlling many developmental processes, including puberty. While key hormonal aspects of puberty regulation in the hypothalamus are well established, understanding the genes, cell-types, and epigenetic mechanisms underlying and regulating puberty is limited. Here, we performed 3’-UTR-seq on the hypothalamus from both sexes of C57BL/6J mice at 5 ages spanning pubertal transition (postnatal days 12, 22, 27, 32, 37) (4-5 replicates per sex at each age) to examine genome-wide age- and sex-biased trends in gene expression in a cell-type aware manner. Sample collection, RNA extraction, and sequencing was completed using the same protocols and on the same mice as PMID: 3622112 (E-MTAB-9459). QuantSeq 3’mRNA-seq libraries were constructed from total RNA using an automated method with Agilent NGS Workstation. The resulting single-end libraries were sequenced at SickKids TCAG core on the Illumina v4 flow cell with SR50 bp cycles extended to 68 bp. A customized pipeline was developed and used for the analysis of reads obtained (PMID: 36221127 for details). Processed reads were mapped to mouse genome (mm10).

Project description:Goal of the experiment: Analysis of gene expression changes in the cortex, striatum, hippocampus, hypothalamus, Drd2-MSNs and Drd1-MSNs of mice with a postnatal, neuron-specific ablation of GLP or G9a as compared to control mice. For microarray analysis, hippocampus, hypothalamus, cortex and striatum of Camk2a-Cre; GLPfl/fl, Camk2a-Cre; G9afl/fl and age (10-14 week old) and sex matched littermate controls were used for total RNA purification. Four biological replicates were performed for each experiment. Polyribosome associated mRNAs from five, age (10-14 week old) and sex matched Drd1-Cre; Drd1-bacTRAP; G9afl/fl, or Drd2-Cre; Drd2-bacTRAP; G9afl/fl and Drd1-bacTRAP; G9afl/fl or Drd2-bacTRAP; G9afl/fl control mice were used.
