Project description:Analysis of differential expression between NPC and non-NPC tissues at miRNA expression level. We used a miRNA microarray platform to investigate the profile between NPC tissues and normal nasopharyngeal tissues to evaluate the relationship between miRNA expression and NPC. Recognition of the aberrant miRNAs and enrichment pathway analysis of predicted target gene may provide some clues to estimate the mechanism of miRNA effects on NPC carcinogenesis mediated by miRNA-mRNA regulation. Total RNA was extracted from 8 NPC tissues compared to 4 nasopharyngeal tissues. We peformed the Illumina miRNA microarray to identify the differentially expressed miRNA between NPC tissues and normal nasopharyngeal tissues.

Project description:Neurons and endocrine cells package peptides in secretory granules (large dense core vesicles; LDCVs) for storage and stimulated release. Studies of PAM, an essential secretory granule membrane enzyme, revealed a pathway that can relay information from secretory granules to the nucleus, resulting in alterations in gene expression. The cytosolic domain of PAM, a type 1 membrane enzyme essential for the production of amidated peptides, is basally phosphorylated by Uhmk1 and other Ser/Thr kinases. Proopiomelanocortin processing in AtT-20 corticotrope tumor cells was increased when Uhmk1 expression was reduced. Uhmk1 was concentrated in the nucleus, but cycled rapidly between nucleus and cytosol. Endoproteolytic cleavage of PAM releases a soluble cytosolic domain (CD) fragment that localizes to the nucleus. Localization of PAM-CD to the nucleus was decreased when PAM-CD with phosphomimetic mutations was examined and when active Uhmk1 was simultaneously over-expressed. Membrane-tethering Uhmk1 did not eliminate its ability to exclude PAM-CD from the nucleus, suggesting that cytosolic Uhmk1 could cause this response. Microarray analysis demonstrated the ability of PAM to increase expression of a small subset of genes, including aquaporin 1 (Aqp1) in AtT-20 cells. Aqp1 mRNA levels were higher in wildtype mice than in mice heterozygous for PAM, indicating that a similar relationship occurs in vivo. Expression of PAM-CD also increased Aqp1 levels while expression of Uhmk1 diminished Aqp1 expression. The outlines of a pathway that ties secretory granule metabolism to the transcriptome are thus apparent. Three separate clones of AtT-20 mouse corticotrope tumor cells stably transfected with doxycycline-inducible rat PAM-1 (clones 14, 6_1, 6_2) were treated with cotrol or doxycycline medium for 48 hours. Total mRNA was isolated and hybridized to an Illumina MouseWG-6 v 2.0 whole genome BeadChip.

Project description:Analysis of photodynamic therapy with hypericin of nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells CNE-2 in different time-points at gene expression level. The hypothesis tested in the present study was that HY-PDT could induce apoptosis on CNE-2 cells via intrinsic pathways. Results provide important information of the response of apoptosis, such as specific oxidative stress genes, mitochondrial related genes, cell cycle related genes, etc. Total RNAs were isolated from the cultured cells treatment with 20 μg/ml HY and irradiation then cultured in dark for 0, 2, 6, 12, 20 h respectively compared to cells treatment with 20 μg/ml HY only then cultured in dark for 20 h.

Project description:Genomic expression profiles of blood and placenta reveal significant immune-related pathways and categories in Chinese women with Gestational Diabetes Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a complex metabolic disease which occurs in pregnancy with high prevalence, and its pathogenesis remains elusive. Thus far, there has been no comprehensive gene expression profiling in Chinese women with GDM. In this study, we attempt to define the genes and/or pathways that are involved in GDM with Chinese ethnicity, by the Illumina microarray technique. We found 5,197 and 243 genes with significantly altered expression due to GDM in blood and placenta tissues, respectively. Previously known genes (such as TNF, IL1B, LEP, IFNG, and HLA-G) with altered gene expression in GDM were also validated here. In addition, we identified undescribed genes VAV3, PTPN6, CD48 and IL15, in which expression was related to GDM by microarray and Q-RT-PCR assays. To identify GDM-associated pathways, we used analyses with integrated functional annotation (i.e. KEGG) and extracted two significant pathways, which were Natural killer cell mediated cytotoxicity (hsa04650; FDR = 7.10E-09) in blood and Cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction (hsa04060; FDR = 1.07E-03) in placenta tissues. Immune system process (GO: 0002376) was identified by GO analysis with FDR P-value = 7.01E-60 in blood and FDR P-value = 3.57E-08 in placenta tissues, indicating the importance of immunological and inflammatory categories in GDM. Furthermore, despite differences in the quantity of gene expression, we observed a similar functional distribution between expression of blood and placenta tissues in GDM under the categories of immunity. These newly identified key genes and pathways may provide valuable information for the pathogenesis of GDM and advance disease diagnosis, prevention, medication design, and clinical treatment of the disease. One individual GDM blood tissue sample and one pooled GDM blood tissue sample were compared to one pooled healthy blood tissue sample. One pooled GDM placenta tissue sample was compared to one pooled healthy placenta tissue sample.

Project description:Mammary gland (MG) de novo lipogenesis contributes significantly to milk fat in animals but little is known in humans. We hypothesized that de novo lipogenesis, as reflected by incorporation of 13C carbons from [U-13C]glucose into fatty acids (FAs) and glycerol in triglycerides (TG), will be greater: a. in milk than plasma TG, b. during a high carbohydrate (H-CHO) diet than high fat (H-FAT) diet and c. during feeding than fasting. Healthy lactating women were studied on two isocaloric, isonitrogenous diets. On one occasion subjects received diets containing H-FAT or H-CHO diet for 1 week. Incorporation of 13C from infused [U-13C]glucose into FAs and glycerol was measured using GC/MS methodology and gene expression using RNA isolated from breast milk fat globule (MFG). Incorporation of 13C2 into milk FAs, increased with increased chain length of the FAs from C2:0 to C12:0 but progressively declined in C14:0 and C16:0 and was not detected in FAs >C16. During feeding, regardless of diets, enrichment of 13C2 in milk FA and 13C3 in milk glycerol were ~3 and ~7 fold higher compared to plasma FA and glycerol, respectively. Following an overnight fast during H-CHO and H-FAT diets study periods, 25% and 6%, respectively, of medium chain FAs (MCFAs, C6-C12) were derived from glucose but increased to 75% and 25% with feeding. The expression of genes involved in FA or glycerol synthesis pathways was unchanged regardless of diet or fast-fed conditions. Conclusions: The human MG is capable of de novo lipogenesis, of primarily MCFAs and glycerol, which is influenced by the macro-nutrient composition of the maternal diet. On day 7 of consumption of each of the two diets milk samples collected from 7 healthy, lean, exclusively breastfeeding women following an overnight fast and feeding conditions [7 x 2 x 2 = 28 samples] were processed for isotope enrichments and RNA isolation from the milk fat globules. The total RNA was utilized for microarray analyses.

Project description:One third of BRAF-mutant metastatic melanoma patients treated with combined BRAF and MEK inhibition progress within six months. Treatment options for these patients remain limited. Here we analyse twenty BRAFV600 mutant melanoma metastases derived from 10 patients treated with the combination of debrafenib and trametinib for resistance mechanisms and genetic correlates of response. Resistance mechanisms are identified in 9/11 progressing tumors and MAPK reactivation occurred in 9/10 tumors, commonly via BRAF amplification and mutations activating NRAS and MEK2. Our data confirming that MEK2C125S, but not the synonymous MEK1C121S protein confers resistance to combination therapy, highlight the functional differences between these kinases and the preponderance of MEK2 mutations in combination therapy-resistant melanomas. Exome sequencing did not identify additional progression-specific resistance candidates. Nevertheless, most melanomas carried additional oncogenic mutations at baseline (e.g. RCA1 and AKT3) that activate the MAPK and P13K pathways and are thus predicted to diminish response to MAPK inhibitors. Total RNA obtained from fresh frozen melanoma tumors treated with a combination of dabrafenib and trametinib
