Project description:Chlamydia trachomatis is the causative agent of sexually transmitted disease with the highest prevalence in the world today. Although, sensitive to antibiotic treatment, Ctr is also a major cause of infertility due to significant cell damage caused to the genital tract of affected women. Occlusion of Fallopian tubes is a frequent consequence of advanced ascending Ctr infection. So far the mechanisms of Ctr caused pathogensis are widely unclear. Here we show, by using an ex vivo infection model of human Fallopian tubes that Ctr causes changes in epithelial homeostasis within 2 days of inoculation, by disrupting cell adhesion and increasing cell proliferation. We demonstrate by imaging and expression analysis that tissue response to invading pathogen has also a paracrine component. We identify Wnt signalling activation as one of the hallmarks of Ctr infection which transmits effects of the infection beyond inclusion containing cells. Mechanisms of phenotypic changes involve up regulation of Epcam and Olfactomedin 4, biomarkers and regulators of cell adhesion and cell differentiation. Our findings bring focus to the pleiotropic effects of Ctr infection within epithelium and could be provide the basis for better understanding the pathological sequels in vivo. Microarray experiments were performed as dual-color hybridizations. To compensate for dye-specific effects, an independent dye-reversal color-swap was applied. Quality control and quantification of total RNA amount was assessed using an Agilent 2100 bioanalyzer (Agilent Technologies) and a NanoDrop 1000 spectrophotometer (Kisker).

Project description:Fly strain y[1]; bw[1]; e[4]; ci[1] ey[R] was obtained from the Bloomington Stock Center. Flies were reared in incubators at 25°C, 65% of relative humidity, and photoperiod of 12 hours. For gene expression analyses flies were exposed to BPA, DEHP, and high sugar for 48 hours (acute exposure). After exposure, they were flash-frozen in liquid nitrogen. Four replicas of each sample were collected and stored at -80°C. Total RNA was extracted from whole flies using TRIzol (Life Technologies). The synthesis of cDNA and its labeling with fluorescent dyes (Cy3 and Cy5) as well as hybridization reactions were carried out using 3DNA protocols and reagents (Genisphere). Slides were scanned using Axon 400B scanner (Axon Instruments) and GenePix Pro 6.0 software. Foreground fluorescence of dye intensities was normalized by the Loess method in Bioconductor / Limma. Dye "swaps," loop design.

Project description:To address the molecular mechanisms underlying environmental adaptation, we studied a Drosophila melanogaster line, termed Dark-fly, which has been maintained in constant dark conditions for 57 years (1400 generations).The structural gene copy number changes between the dark fly and its control were assessed by aCGH array. The comparison showed that hundreds of genes in the dark fly bear duplications or deletions relative to the control line. The copy number increase and decrease in the dark flies were determined by two-channel array hybridization with the control line. In addition to biological replicates, a Cy5-Cy3 dye swap was performed.Self-hybridization was also conducted to serve as a quality control.

Project description:Despite considerable excitement over the potential functional significance of copy number variants (CNVs), we still lack knowledge of the fine-scale architecture of the large majority of CNV regions in the human genome. In this study, we used a high-resolution array-based comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH) platform that targeted known CNV regions of the human genome at ~1 kb resolution to interrogate the genomic DNAs of 30 individuals from four HapMap populations. Our results revealed that 1,020 of 1,153 CNV loci (88%) were actually smaller in size than what is recorded in the Database of Genomic Variants based on previously published studies. A reduction in size of more than 50% was observed for 876 CNV regions (76%). We conclude that the total genomic content of common human CNVs may be smaller than previously thought. In addition, approximately 8% of the CNV regions observed in multiple individuals exhibited genomic architectural complexity in the form of smaller CNVs within larger ones and CNVs with inter-individual variation in breakpoints. Future association studies that aim to capture the potential influences of CNVs on disease phenotypes will need to consider how to best ascertain this previously underappreciated complexity. The DNA samples are a panel of 30 Hapmap samples, and a female sample NA15510 of undetermined geographic origin, which has been well characterized by fosmid-end sequencing (Tuzun et al. 2005, Nature Genetics 10, p1038). The DNA for this set of 16 female and 15 male samples are all supplied by the Coriell Cell Repository, and is comprised of samples from four populations: 10 unrelated Yoruban, 10 unrelated European-American individuals from Utah (CEPH), 5 unrelated Chinese, and 5 unrelated Japanese. The reference sample, NA10851 is also a male CEPH also from the HapMap Sample set (Corriel Cell Repository). Each of these samples was hybridized in pairs with the reversed labeling polarities. Additionally, 3 self-self control hybridizations were carried out for the reference sample, NA10851, one on each hybridization date. In the Title for each of the samples, each hybridization session is indicated by the letters A, B or C.

Project description:Metastatic clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) has a poor prognosis and unpredictable course and there are no molecular markers that reliably predict ccRCC metastasis. In this study, specimens from 84 patients with ccRCC were directly cultured in vitro. The primary cultures from 38 of 94 specimens contained more than 90% tumor cells at 4th passages. After identified by immunostaining, the primary cultures of metastatic- and nonmetastatic ccRCC specimens from the age-, gender-matched patients were subjected to cDNA microrray assays. A total of 842 differentially expressed genes with FDR (false discovery rate) = 4.79% were identified by using SAM (Significance Analysis of Microarray) software. Pathway enrichment and co-occurrence with “cancer”, “metastasis” and “invasion” in the literature annotations enriched the functions of the 842 genes and indicated the reliability of our microarray assays. Novel genes associated with metastasis were selected based on intra-molecular interaction between 205 differentially expressed genes co-occurred with “metastasis” and those not appeared with “metastasis” on Medline, as well as co-expression analysis between 205 differentially expressed genes co-occurred with “metastasis” and those not appeared on Medline in 12 microarray data. FSTL1, AV722783, SLC15A1, DDX17, ORC2L and PKMYT1 were proved to be potential ccRCC metastasis-associated novel genes, based on its expression patterns in the cultures and tumor tissues. Interestingly, the up-regulated genes (CAV1, PKMYT1 and ORC2L) were up-regulated and the down-regulated genes (FSTL1, GSTM3, CYR61, SLC15A1 and AV722783) were down-regulated, in the primary ccRCC specimens as compared with its adjacent normal kidney in 37 patients (determined by semi-quantitative RT-PCR). This study provides potential biomarkers and novel molecular targets for the early diagnosis and treatment of ccRCC metastasis. Keywords: Homo sapiens Because of limited cell number of primary cultures, total RNA of the primary cultures from 2 age and gender matched patients was pooled for each microarray assay. Each assay was technically repeated once. Cy3-labeled 1st cDNA synthesized from total RNA of the metastatic ccRCC pool was mixed with Cy5-labeled 1st cDNA synthesized from total RNA of the non-metastatic ccRCC pool, and hybridized to 16K cDNA chips (GEO Platform ID: GPL6259; SBC-R-HC-100-22, National Engineering Center for Biochip, Shanghai, China) that included 14784 unigenes, 241 negative controls and 527 positive controls. In our study we used a co-expression analysis for the relationship between genes; three gastric cancer Samples were only introduced to this analysis methods.

Project description:We used microarrays to discern patterns of gene expression in response to global climate change factors on leaf tissue of an annual dicot, Geranium dissectum, growing in a natural grassland. Keywords: multifactorial global change treatments There are 5-8 biological replicates for each of the sixteen treatments - a total of 100 samples. The four global change factors at two levels are ambient or elevated CO2, ambient temperature or ambient + 1 degree C warming, natural rainfall (601.2 mm/yr) or natural rainfall supplemented with 50% of every storm added immediately following each storm with a 3 week season extension, ambient growth nitrogen or ambient supplemented with 7 g N m-2 y-1, supplied as Ca(NO3)2. There were 16 treatments applied in a nested design in the field.We hybridized the Geranium samples using cross-species hybridization to Arabidopsis cDNA arrays which had an Arabisopsis genomic DNA common reference in the Cy3 channel.

Project description:This study was designed to investigate the modulation of GBE on cellular cholesterol metabolism which has been suggested in recent studies. To explore the molecular mechanisms gain insights into the molecular network, we used microarray to high-throughput measurement of genes concerning both spatial and temporal levels to understand the complexity and dynamics of cells in response to GBE and Lovastatin, the genes expression pattern were similar between GBE and Lovastatin treatment in HepG2 cells, the major changed genes were involved in biosynthesis of steroids and cell cycle. Cholesterol metabolism related genes were further examined by RT-PCR and western blot, showing that the cholesterogenic genes were upregulated in response to the reduction of cholesterol and were consistent with the microarray findings. Keywords: time course HepG2 cells were maintained in Minimum Essential Medium supplemented with 10% FBS in humidified atmosphere with 5% CO2 at 37°C. For experiments, cells were seeded in 6-well plates at a density of 4×105 cells per well, when the cells were grown into a 70 % confluence, the medium was replaced with 2%FBS medium for later drug treatment, cells were incubated with 200μg/mL of GBE or 0.5μM Lovastatin for various time periods (2, 6, 12, 24hours). The control groups were treated with 0.1% DMSO that contained in drug as vehicle at most time point. The cells were collected and RNA were used for transcript profiling analysis. Label protocol:Total RNA were primed with T7 Promoter Primer (from the Agilent Low RNA Input Linear Amplification Kit PLUS, Two-Color) at 65 ℃ for 10 min, then reversed transcribed at 40℃ for 2 h in the presence of 1ul MMLV-RT (Agilent), and 10 mM dNTP, and RNase OUT (Agilent) and labeled with either Cy3-dCTP or Cy5-dCTP. Equal amounts of the RNA from control sample were mixed, and the mixture was labeled with Cy5, while the RNA from each GBE treated HepG2 cells was labeled with Cy3. Hybridization protocol: After mixed with hybridization buffer(GE healthcare), samples were applied to microarray slide, cover the slip with care. Place the slide in a wet box.Incubate in a hybridization chamber at 42℃ for 16-18 hours, avoid light exposure. After hybridization, slides were washed sequentially with 1 SSC/0.2 SDS(50°C), 0.1 SSC/0.2%SDS(50°C) and 0.1 SSC(room temperature) before scanning. Scan protocol: Axon GenePix 4000B Description: Total RNA was prepared by using TRIzol reagent (Life Technologies, USA), further purified with an RNEasy column (Qiagen, Germany), and quantified by using gel electrophoresis and spectrophotometer followed by reverse transcription labeling. Each RNA sample was reverse-transcribed into cDNA primed with oligo(dT) and labeled with either Cy3-dCTP or Cy5-dCTP by using Superscript II reverse transcriptase (Life Technologies, USA). After hybridization under a standard protocol, data acquisition was performed by using a laser scanner (Agilent, USA), and the image data were analyzed using ImaGene 4.2 (Biodiscovery, Santa Monica, CA, USA).

Project description:Gene expression was analysed in 68 stage I ovarian cancers and 15 borderline samples using microarrays. Tumors were obtained directly at surgery and immediately frozen in liquid nitrogen until analysis. Glass arrays containing 16000 genes were used. Data was interpreted by unsupervised and supervised analysis. All tumors had a wild-type p53. Unsupervised analysis identified eight major clusters one of which was statistically associated to overall survival, grading and histotype (cluster C) and another with grading and histotype (cluster D). Supervised analysis showed a clear association between histotypes and gene expression profile and distinguished the four major histotypes (serous, clear cells, mucinous, endometrioid). The data also discriminated between the different grades of the tumors. The subset of 15 borderline tumors were undistinguishable from grade 1 tumors. When patients, relapsing or not, were analysed, a subset of genes able to differentiate them was identified. The genes identified in the major clusters belong to general classes of lipid biosynthesis, transport and metabolism, immunoglobulins (antigen presenting and processing) and genes acting as metal, ion and anion transporters including ATPase activity coupled with ion transport. Keywords: disease state analysis Gene expression for 83 ovarian tumor samples was evaluated: 68 from patiens presenting stage I carcinoma and 15 with borderline desease. A common reference design was applied and each samples was cohybridizated with a universal reference. Also a dye swap control has been done so that for the two technical replicates of each sample an expression profile of raw data was obtained. These data were independently processed and combiend to have a unique normalized profile for each sample.
