Project description:Murine macrophages were isolated from the lungs of mice given a pulmonary challenge with C. neoformans strain H99. Mice were either given a protective (H99γ) or a mock (HKCn) immunization prior to C. neoformans H99 challenge, and macrophages were isolated from the lungs of mice 24 hours, 3 days, or 7 days post-challenge using anti-CD11b microbeads according to the Miltenyi cell sorting system. We used SA Biosciences Toll-like Receptor PCR assay panel to quantitate gene expression of signal transduction factors in total RNA isolated from macrophages derived from immunized mice compared to non-immunized. qPCR gene expression profiling. Macrophages from 5 mice per group were pooled and assayed as indicated in the summary. Each experiment was performed 3 times and the resulting Ct values of each group from each experiment averaged prior to data analysis. TIme points were analyzed separately

Project description:Male Sprague Dawley adult rats were subjected to a cervical hemisection at C2 (C2HS). Costal diaphragm (both ipsilesional and contralesional sides) were assessed under control conditions (sham surgery) and at 1 and 7 days post-C2HS. We used SA Biosciences Rat Skeletal Muscle Development and Disease RT2 Profiler PCR Array to quantitate gene expression of muscle atrophy and regeneration-relevant genes from the uninjured and injured tissues on the indicated sides and at the indicated timepoints post-lesion. qPCR gene expression profiling. Tissue was derived from the costal diaphragm from control animals, and from contralesional and ipsilesional sides at days 1 and 7 post-lesion. RNA was extracted from flash-frozen tissue (TRIzol reagent) and quantitated via spectrophotometry. Equal amount total RNA from each donor was pooled prior to gene expression analysis. N=3 or 4 rats per condition. Four genes in the array study appeared to undergo unphysiologic increases in expression following SCI: Mmp9, Leptin, activin A and alpha actinin. For these genes, expression levels in control tissue were detectable but extremely low, thus fold-increases following SCI are numerically exaggerated. Therefore, we cannot explicitly comment on the physiologic scale of this response

Project description:Balb/cJ mouse received control RNAi or RNAi to 8-oxoguanine DNA glycosylase (Ogg1) intranasally prior to the exposure for 1 h to a) glucose oxidase (1 mU) to induce OGG1-BER or b) OGG1-BER product 8-oxoguanine (1 M-NM-<M). We used SABiosciences Mouse Inflammatory Cytokines & Receptors PCR Array (PAMM-011A) to quantitate inflammatory gene expression dependent on OGG1 and its product 8-oxoguanine. After intranasal challenge with glucose oxidase or 8-oxoguanine, mice were sacrificed and lungs were collected and processed to obtain RNA. Total pooled (n=5) RNA (1 M-NM-<g) was reverse transcribed into cDNA using SuperscriptM-BM-. III First Strand Synthesis System (Invitrogen), mixed with equal amounts of 2X SYBR Green Supermix (Qiagen) and 20 M-NM-<l of reaction mixture was added to each well of the PAM-011A array. The reaction was evaluated using an ABI PRISMM-BM-. 7000 Sequence Detection System using recommended settings by SABiosciences.

Project description:We previously demonstrated that the osteopontin-c (OPNc) splice variant activates several aspects of the progression of prostate cancers. The goal of the present study was to develop cell line model to determine the impact of OPNc overexpression on main cancer signaling pathways and thus obtain insights into the mechanisms of OPNc pro-tumorigenic roles. Methods: PC-3 cells were stably transfected to overexpress OPNc. Transcriptomic profiling was performed on these cells and compared to controls, to identify OPNc overexpression-dependent changes in gene expression levels and pathways by qRT-PCR analyses; Results: Of 84 genes tested by using a multiplex real-time PCR Cancer Pathway Array approach, among then 16 were differentially expressed between PC-3 OPNc-overexpressing cells in relation to control clones. Differentially expressed genes are included in all main hallmarks of cancer, and several interacting proteins have been identified using an interactome network analysis. Conclusions: Overall, the present study elucidated transcriptional changes of prostate cancer cells in response to OPNc overexpression, which provides an assessment for predicting the molecular mechanisms by which this splice variant promotes tumor progression features. Cell Culture, OPN Plasmids and Transfection; As a model to examine the signaling pathways modulated by OPNc overexpression in prostate carcinoma, we used PC-3 cell line, which were provided by ATCC. The open reading frame of OPNc was cloned into the pCR3.1 mammalian expression vector as previously described [Tilli et al., 2012]. Transfections were performed using LipofectamineTM 2000 (Invitrogen, CA). Our previous data demonstrated that PC-3 stably transfected cells contain higher levels of protein and the mRNA OPNc splicing isoform in relation to their endogenous levels in empty vector-transfected cells. PC-3 transfected with empty vector (EV) were used as a negative control in these assays. Human Cancer Pathway Finder PCR Array The Human Cancer Pathway Finder SuperArray (PAHS-033A; Qiagen) was used to determine changes in the specific genes encoding proteins related to the main hallmarks of cancer in response to OPNc overexpression. The assay design criteria ensure that each qPCR reaction will generate single, gene-specific amplicons and prevent the co-amplification of non-specific products. The qPCR Assays used in PCR Arrays are optimized to work under standard conditions enabling a large number of genes to be assayed simultaneously. Their specificity is guaranteed by SABiosciences when RT2 SYBR Green qPCR Master Mixes are used as part of the complete PCR Array System protocol. Simultaneous gene expression analyses require similar qPCR efficiencies for accurate comparison among genes. RT2 qPCR Primer Assays are designed with an amplicon size ranging from 100 to 250 bp and with PCR efficiencies uniformly greater than 90%. Overall, more than 10 thermodynamic criteria are included in the design of each RT2 qPCR Primer Assay to ensure the most reliable and accurate results for pathway-based gene expression analysis in the PCR Array System. We analyzed mRNA levels of 84 genes related to cell cycle control, apoptosis and cell senescence, signal transduction molecules and transcription factors, adhesion, angiogenesis, invasion and metastasis; and also 5 housekeeping genes and genomic DNA contamination controls. The PCR plates were run using the CFX96 Real-Time System cycler (BioRad, Hercules, CA), following a superarray two-step cycling PCR protocol, in which each plate ran one cycle for 10 minutes at 95M-BM-0C, as well as 40 cycles of 95M-BM-0C for 15 seconds and 60M-BM-0C for 1 minute. After the superarray protocol was run for each plate, RT-PCR data analysis was performed using the website:http://www.SABiosciences.com/pcrarraydataanalysis.php, in order to compare gene expression of OPNc-overexpressing cells and empty vector transfected cells. Total RNA quality control, cDNA synthesis and the quantitative real-time RT-PCR (qRT-PCR) array were performed as recommended by the manufacturer (Qiagen). Data analysis of gene expression was performed using Excel-based PCR Array Data Analysis Software provided by manufacturer (Qiagen). Fold-changes in gene expression were calculated using the M-NM-^TM-NM-^TCT method, and five stably expressed housekeeping genes (M-NM-22 microglobulin, hypoxanthine phosphoribosyltransferase 1, ribosomal protein L13a, GAPDH and M-NM-2-actin) were used to normalize the level of expression. The statistical analysis was performed to compare the gene expression values for the OPNc-overexpressing cells and those transfected with empty vector. P<0.05 was considered statistically significant. Only genes showing a 1.5-fold or greater change were considered for further analysis.
