Project description:Gene expression analysis identified 27 of these 744 p300 and pol II associated genes as significantly increased (p? 0.05) within the first hour following mitogen stimulation Experiment Overall Design: Total RNA was purified from Jurkat T-cells treated 0, 30, and 60 min with phorbol ester and ionomycin. Antisense biotin-labeled RNA (aRNA) suitable for application to the Affymetrix microarray platform was generated using the Ambion MessageAmp 2-Biotin Enhanced kit as suggested by the manufacturer (www.Ambion.com). Purified biotin-labeled aRNA was fragmented and hybridized to U133 plus 2 GenechipsTM (Affymetrix), as recommended by the manufacturer. All samples were hybridized as technical replicates. Affymetrix U133 plus 2 GenechipsTM contain probe-sets corresponding to over 56,000 targets.
Project description:This experiment was performed to determine which gene promoters mutant p53 binds and transcriptionally regulates in order to understand how mutant p53 accomplishes its gain of function phenotype.
Project description:Family with sequence similarity 20-member C (FAM20C) is a new molecule that is highly expressed in the mineralized tissues of mammals. Genetic studies showed that the loss-of-function mutations in FAM20C were associated with human lethal osteosclerotic bone dysplasia (Raine Syndrome), indicating that this molecule may act as an inhibitor in the formation of bone. However, the in vitro gain- and loss-of-function studies suggested that FAM20C promoted the differentiation and mineralization of mouse mesenchymal cells and odontoblasts. To study the roles of FAM20C, we generated Fam20C conditional knockout (cKO) mice in which Fam20C was ubiquitously inactivated. Microarray analyses were performed using total RNA extracted from the calvaria of 3-week-old mice.
Project description:The aim of this study was to identify chemoresistance-associated genes in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). cDNA microarray analysis was performed to compare the mRNA expression profiles of a human metastatic HCC cell line (named MHCC97Low) and its derived chemoresistant sublines including cisplatin resistant subline (named MHCC97L/CisR or C8) and doxorubicin resistant subline (named MHCC97L/DoxR or D5). Total RNAs were extracted from MHCC97Low (97Low as sample name), MHCC97L/CisR (C8 as sample name) and MHCC97L/DoxR (D5 as sample name), and hybridized on Affymetrix microarrays. We planed to identify differential genes between 97Low and C8 (cisplatin resistant genes) as well as to identify differential genes between 97Low and D5 (doxorubicin resistant genes).
Project description:On going efforts are directed at understanding the mutualism between the gut microbiota and the host in breast-fed versus formula-fed infants. Due to the lack of tissue biopsies, no investigators have performed a global transcriptional (gene expression) analysis of the developing human intestine in healthy infants. As a result, the crosstalk between the microbiome and the host transcriptome in the developing mucosal-commensal environment has not been determined. In this study, we examined the host intestinal mRNA gene expression and microbial DNA profiles in full term 3 month-old infants exclusively formula fed (FF) (n=6) or breast fed (BF) (n=6) from birth to 3 months. Host mRNA microarray measurements were performed using isolated intact sloughed epithelial cells in stool samples collected at 3 months. Microbial composition from the same stool samples was assessed by metagenomic pyrosequencing. Both the host mRNA expression and bacterial microbiome phylogenetic profiles provided strong feature sets that clearly classified the two groups of babies (FF and BF). To determine the relationship between host epithelial cell gene expression and the bacterial colony profiles, the host transcriptome and functionally profiled microbiome data were analyzed in a multivariate manner. From a functional perspective, analysis of the gut microbiota's metagenome revealed that characteristics associated with virulence differed between the FF and BF babies. Using canonical correlation analysis, evidence of multivariate structure relating eleven host immunity / mucosal defense-related genes and microbiome virulence characteristics was observed. These results, for the first time, provide insight into the integrated responses of the host and microbiome to dietary substrates in the early neonatal period. Our data suggest that systems biology and computational modeling approaches that integrate “-omic” information from the host and the microbiome can identify important mechanistic pathways of intestinal development affecting the gut microbiome in the first few months of life.

Project description:In order to uncover the biological processes affected in glial cells by aging, we analyzed microarray gene expression of the Schwann cell-rich mouse sciatic nerve at 17 time-points throughout life, from day of birth until senescence. In addition, we combined these data with the microarray gene expression data of myelin 56 day-old mouse mutants carrying deletions of either Pmp22, SCAP or Lpin1. Seven mice were dissected per developmental or aging time-point. Both sciatic nerves were isolated from each mouse and tissues were pooled per time-point to extract total RNA. For the mutants and their wild-type littermates, sciatic nerves were dissected from three mice per genotype. Tissues were not pooled, which generated triplicates per genotype. Total RNA was extracted, purified and quality-controlled. For each condition, 300 ng of total RNA was used to synthesize cRNA using the Illumina TotalPrep RNA amplification kit (Ambion). The cRNA was then quantified, quality controlled and hybridized to the MouseWG-6 v1 expression Beadchips (Illumina) according to the manufacturerM-^Rs instructions.

Project description:We have demonstrated that fish oil/pectin (FO/P) diets protect against colon cancer compared to corn oil/cellulose (CO/C) by upregulating apoptosis and suppressing proliferation. To elucidate the mechanisms whereby FO/P diets induce apoptosis and suppress proliferation during the tumorigenic process, we analyzed the temporal gene expression profiles from exfoliated rat colonocytes. KEYWORDS: Fish oil/pectin, pectin, exfoliated colonocytes, gene expression, apoptosis, colon cancer, chemoprevention Rats consumed diets containing FO/P or CO/C and were injected with azoxymethane (AOM, 2x, 15 mg/kg BW, s.c.). Feces collected at the initiation, aberrant crypt foci (ACF), and tumor stages of colon cancer (24 h (n=20), 7 wk (n=37), and 28 wk (n=28) after AOM injection, respectively) was used for poly A(+) RNA extraction. Gene expression signatures were determined using Codelink arrays.
