Project description:The enzyme lycopene β-cyclase (LYCB) is responsible for the synthesis of β-carotene, a valuable component of the human diet. To understand the effect of the high β-Carotene content accumulation on plants carotenoid biosynthesis and global genes expression，a tomato engineered to constitutively express Lycb-1 accumulated a high level of β-carotene was used in this reasearch.Microarray analysis in the ripe stage revealed that the constitutive expression of Lycb-1 differentially regulated a number of genes involved in the synthesis of fatty acids, flavones, flavonols, flavonoids and phenylpropanoids, in the degradation of limonene and pinene, in starch and sucrose metabolism and in photosynthesis.

Project description:Pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas (PPGLs) are catecholamine-producing tumors with diverse phenotypic features reflecting mutations in numerous genes, including MYC-associated factor X (MAX). To establish whether PPGL phenotypic differences reflect a MAX-mediated mechanism and opposing influences of HIF2M-NM-1 and HIF1M-NM-1, we combined observational investigations in PPGLs and gene-manipulation studies in two pheochromocytoma cell lines. In cell lines lacking Max, re-expression of the gene resulted in maturation of phenotypic features and decreased cell cycle progression. In cell lines lacking Hif2M-NM-1, overexpression of the gene led to immature phenotypic features, failure of dexamethasone to induce differentiation and increased proliferation. HIF1M-NM-1 has opposing actions to HIF2M-NM-1. These model systems explain the features observed in PPGLs due to mutations of MAX and other PPGL susceptibility genes. 88 samples (primary pheochromocytoma (PCC)/paraganglioma tumors) were hybridized onto a cDNA microarray in order to investigate possible heterogeneity within these tumors. This series of tumors is an expansion of GSE19422 that includes nine additional tumors to examine the role of MAX mutations in PCC/PGL.

Project description:Investigations on the fundamental of malaria parasite biology, such as invasion, growth cycle, metabolism and cell signalling have uncovered a number of potential antimalarial drug targets, including choline kinase, a key enzyme involved in the synthesis of phosphatidylcholine, an important component in parasite membrane compartment. The effect on gene expression of Plasmodium falciparum K1 strain following 72 hours exposure to 2 M-NM-<M (IC50 concentration) of the choline kinase inhibitor, hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (HDTAB) was evaluated by DNA microarray analysis. Genes important in P. falciparum intra-erythrocytic life cycle, such as invasion, cytoadherance and growth were among those affected by at least 2-fold changes in their expression levels compared with non HDTAB-treated control. Two different cultures of P. falciparum was divided into two groups, untreated and HDTAB treated. The parasites were incubated for 72 hours and harvested for total RNA extraction. The expression profile was analysed by microarray.

Project description:RFX6 is a key transcription factor for the development of mouse pancreas, however the functional roles of RFX6 in human beta cells are poorly explored. Thus transcriptome analysis was perfomed to determine the functional targets of RFX6 in human beta cells using the recently developed human beta cell-line EndoC-M-NM-2H2. Transcriptome profile of human beta cell line (EndoC-M-NM-2H2 cells) following siRNA induced knockdown of RFX6 is compared with siControl (siNT) treated EndoC-M-NM-2H2 cells.

Project description:The initiation of breast cancer is associated with increased expression of tumor-promoting estrogen receptor M-NM-1 (ERM-NM-1) protein and decreased expression of tumor-suppressive ERM-NM-2 protein. However, the mechanism underlying this process is unknown. Here we show that Pescadillo/PES1, an estrogen-inducible protein that is over-expressed in breast cancer, can regulate the balance between ERM-NM-1 and ERM-NM-2. PES1 enhances transcriptional activity of ERM-NM-1 and reduces that of ERM-NM-2, and modulates many estrogen-responsive genes. Consistent with this regulation of ERM-NM-1 and ERM-NM-2 transcriptional activity, PES1 increases the stability of the ERM-NM-1 protein and decreases that of ERM-NM-2 through the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway, mediated by the carboxyl terminus of Hsc70-interacting protein (CHIP). Moreover, PES1 can transform normal human mammary epithelial cells and is required for estrogen-induced breast tumor growth in nude mice. Further analysis of clinical samples showed that expression of PES1 correlates positively with ERM-NM-1 expression and negatively with ERM-NM-2 expression, and predicts good clinical outcome in breast cancer. Our data demonstrate that PES1 contributes to breast tumor growth through regulating the balance between ERM-NM-1 and ERM-NM-2 and may be a better target for the development of drugs that selectively regulate ERM-NM-1 and ERM-NM-2 activities. Three samples: Control siRNA -E2 vs. Control siRNA +E2, Control siRNA -E2 vs. PES1 siRNA -E2,Control siRNA -E2 vs. PES1 siRNA +E2

Project description:Bud mutations arise often in citrus. The selection of mutants is one of the most important breeding methods in citrus. However, the molecular bases of bud mutation have rarely been studied. To identify the potential important or novel genes involved in bud mutation, different transcriptomic techniques combing suppression subtractive hybridization (SSH) and microarray were performed between a lycopene accumulated mutant, âHong Anliuâ sweet orange (Citrus sinensis L. Osbeck), and its wild-type during fruit maturation. Microarray analysis revealed that differentially expressed clones are extensively coordinated with the initiation of lycopene accumulation. After sequencing of the differentially expressed clones, a total of 267 non-redundant transcripts were obtained, 182 (68.2%) of which share homology (E-value ⤠1Ã10-10) with known gene products or known protein domains. A list of candidate genes which involved in cellular metabolic process, primary metabolic process, localization, macromolecular metabolic process was obtained. Out of these genes, 12 share homology with previously described signal transduction or transcription factors, suggesting complex regulatory control. These results demonstrate profound effect on gene expression of bud mutation in citrus fruits and provide new insights into the molecular basis of bud mutation. Keywords: bud mutation, candidate genes, Citrus, cNDA microarray, suppression subtractive hybridization (SSH) Fruits from the mutant and its wild type were collected at five time points from August to December. Total RNA extracted from the mutant was hybridized to the array together with RNA from the wild type. Each hybridization was performed in duplicate by dye swap.

Project description:Targeted therapies against cancer stem cells which are enriched in side populations (SP) involves interruption of Wnt-signalling. Furthermore, EpCAM is a SP marker and modulator of Wnt-signalling. Therefore, the effects of an anti-EpCAM treatment on SP-cells and WNT/M-NM-2-catenin signalling was studied. SP of the murine lung adenocarcinoma cell line A2C12 was obtained by fluorescence activated cell sorting and whole genome scans helped to define their molecular phenotype after anti-EpCAM antibody treatment. Anti-EpCAM treated and untreated A2C12 cells were subjected to Hoechst 33342 dye exclusion assay and sorted to SP and non-SP fractions by FACS. Three biological replicates.

Project description:The human A-family DNA polymerase M-NM-8 (Pol q) is a large, multidomain enzyme whose physiological function is still unclear despite its in vitro translesion synthesis capacity in front of DNA damage and its involvement in some features of DNA repair after external stress. Here we present evidence that Pol q holds a novel role in the absence of external stress as a critical determinant of the replication timing program in human cells. Pol q binds to chromatin at early G1 and is required for proper formation of pre-replicative complexe and replication origin activation. Pol q-depleted cells show modified spatial organization of chromatin-loop structures at replication factories. Genome-wide analysis of replication timing shows delayed replication of a part of early replicating domains and advanced replication of a part of late replicating domains following Pol q depletion. Our results identify Pol q as one of the first critical human factors discovered in the replication timing programme. Two-condition experiment, siRNA control vs. siRNA polQ cells. Biological replicates: 2 control replicates, 2 transfected replicates.
