ABSTRACT: The changes of mature microRNA expression levels after apigenin treatment on Huh7 cells were determined. Huh7 cells were treated with 10microM apigenin for 24hr and the changes of global mature microRNA expression levels were determined.
Project description:We used microarray to determine the miRNA whose expression was changed at 12 hours after Y27632 treatment Two-condition experiment; Huh7 control vs Huh7 treated with Y27632 for 12 hours
Project description:We compared the profile of miRNAs expressed in HEK293 and MRC5 cells that overexpressed KRASG12V to those expressed in parental cells that harbored wild-type KRAS. The results indicated that a subset of miRNAs was significantly down-regulated in KRASG12V transfected two cells. To address the functional relevance of miRNAs in KRAS mutant cancers, we transfected exogenous KRASG12V into HEK293 and MRC5 cells with wild type KRAS genes, and we comprehensively profiled the dysregulated miRNAs.
Project description:The objective of the present study is to investigate the role of processing glycosidase inhibition induced by processing glycosidase inhibitors, namely castanospermin as the processing glucosidases inhibitor, deoxymannojirimycin as the processing mannosidases inhibitor, and deoxyfuconojirimycin as the fucosidase inhibitor. Comparative gene expression analysis was performed in human cervical carcinoma HeLa cells, with non-inhibitor-treated cells as the negative control. Gene expression was analyzed using 3D-Gene® Human 25k oligonucleotide microarrays and computational gene expression analysis tools. Inhibition of processing glycosidases (glucosidases, mannosidases, and fucosidase) in human cervical carcinoma HeLa cells was performed by treating with a small molecule inhibitor and then culturing at 37°C. Total RNA samples were prepared from the cells. Gene expression was analyzed using 3D-Gene® Human 25k oligonucleotide microarrays. Sample preparation for array hybridization was carried out as described in the manufacturer's instructions.
Project description:Analysis of breast cancer MDA-MB-231 cells stably over-expressing SUV420H2, a histone H4K20 methyltransferase. Several genes were significantly up- or down-regulated. Results provide insight into the molecular mechanism by which H4K20me3 contributes to gene expression. SUV420H2 stably over-expressing MDA-MB-231 cells were cloned. Then total RNA was extracted from the SUV420H2 over-expressing cells and the parental MDA-MB-231 cells.
Project description:HeLa cells were transiently transfected with siRNA against SUV39H1, a histone H3K9 methyltransferase. Several genes were significantly up- or down-regulated. HeLa cells were transiently transfected with siRNA against SUV39H1 or negative control siRNA. Then total RNA was extracted.
Project description:To elucidate the aetiology of HEH, especially with regard to microRNA (miRNA) profiles, samples obtained from three different parts of both normal and tumour tissues were analysed . The details of RNA extraction have been described in our previous reports. Interestingly, 16 miRNAs were significantly up-regulated and 51 miRNAs were down-regulated in the tumour tissues compared to the normal tissues (Studentâ??s t-test, p<0.01). In addition, unsupervised hierarchical clustering analysis using a Pearsonâ??s correlation showed that the tumour tissues clustered separately from the normal tissues. microRNA samples obtained from three different parts of both normal and tumour tissues were analysed
Project description:The microRNAs expression was markedly altered with the MCD diet. Using a custom microarray platform, we analyzed the expression levels of 1135 mouse microRNA probes in liver tissue that were fed MCD diet.
Project description:Microarray was performed to comprehensively examine microRNA induction in murine small intestine after exposure to total body g-irradiation. Small intestines were collected from Tlr3+/+ and Tlr3-/- mice at 0 and 6 hr after exposure to 10 Gy of total body g-irradiation. Samples were pooled from 3 mice. Total RNA was extracted and subjected to microRNA microarray analysis.
Project description:In isolated glomeruli by beads-perfusion methods, microRNA (miRNA) expression was analyzed in healthy C57BL/6 and B6.MRLc1 glomerulonephritis mice. The expression of 1,135 miRNAs was examined, and up-regulated or down-regulated miRNA was determined. These results provide a basical information of molecular pathology in glomerulonephritis. The glomeruli were collected from female C57BL/6 (n=3, 9-month-old, healthy control) and female B6.MRLc1 (n=3, 14-month-old, early stage of glomerulonephritis; n=3, 9-month-old, late stage of glomerulonephritis). The total RNA sample was purified, and total 1,135 microRNA expression was compared among healthy, early stage, and late stage.
Project description:The microRNAs expression was altered with the treatment of metformin in vivo and several microRNAs induced by metformin also may contribute to suppressed of NASH. Using a custom microarray platform, we analyzed the expression levels of 1135 mouse microRNA probes in liver tissue in vivo that were treated with and without metformin.
