Project description:The human seminal plasma is a potential source of biomarkers for male reproductive disorders. A tissue-profiling analysis of the main organs participating in the secretion of this body fluid was conducted to identify tissue-specific genes along the male reproductive tract. Total RNA from non pathological Human seminal vesicles were extracted and hybridized on Affymetrix microarrays. Expression signals in seminal vesicles (present dataset), prostates (GEO; GSE7307), epidydimises (GEO; GSE7808) and testicular samples (Arrayexpress; E-TABM-130) were compared to identify genes that are detected in one of these organs only.

Project description:The bidirectional communication between bovine oocytes and CCs is vital for functioning and development of both cell types. We used microarray to identify genes which are differentially expressed between germinal vesicle (GV)- and metaphase II (MII)-stage oocytes and CCs and those differentially expressed when oocytes mature with or without the other. We also identified genes differentially expressed between CCs at GV and MII stages. Slaughterhouse ovaries were collected and GV-stage cumulus oocyte complexes (COCs) were aspirated. Different stages and types of oocytes and CCs were used for total RNA isolation and hybridisation on Affymetrix microarray.

Project description:The aberrant gene expression in the uterine endometrium and embryo has been the major causes of pregnancy failure in cattle. Therefore, selecting cows having adequate endometrial receptivity and embryos of better developmental competence based on the gene expression could increase the number of calves produced by in each cow during its productive life time. We used endometrial and embryo biopsy technology in conjunction with the pregnancy outcome information to establish a direct link between the pre-transfer endometrial or in vivo derived embryo gene expression and pregnancy outcome after embryo transfer. Endometrial samples were collected from Simmental heifers at day 7 and 14 of the estrous cycle, one cycle prior to embryo transfer. In the next cycle, embryo biopsies consisting of 60-70% of inner cell mass and trophectoderm were transferred to the recipients at day 7 of the estrous cycle. The remaining 30-40% parts of the embryos were retained for analysis.Pregnancy diagnosis was performed at days 28 and 42 by ultrasonography and at day 56 by rectal palpation. Those heifers returned to heat at day 21 were considered as non pregnant or non receptive endometrium (NP) while those heifers ended up with successful pregnancy and calf delivery was considered as the calf delivery group or receptive endometrium (CD). Following this, the endometrial samples collected during the pre-transfer period and the embryo biopsies retained during embryo transfer were categorized based on the pregnancy outcome. Those endometrial biopsies collected at days 7 and 14 of the estrous cycle from heifers resulted in successful calf delivery were designated as CDd7 and CDd14, respectively and endometrial biopsies taken at days 7 and 14 of the estrous cycle from those subsequently resulted in no pregnancy were designated as NPd7 and NPd14, respectively. Similarly, the embryo biopsies were classified as those embryo biopsies resulted in successful calf delivery and those resulted in no pregnancy

Project description:The mesenteric lymph nodes represent the immune response to eggs in schistosome infections,and the analysis of gene expression profiles of the mesenteric lymph nodes from the Vac-Cha (vaccinated with UV attenuated cercariae and challenged with normal cercariae)and Inf-Con (infected with normal cercariae) groups. We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression and identified distinct classes of up-regulated and down-regulated genes. The mesenteric lymph nodes surrounding the cecum from the Vac-Cha and Inf-Con groups were collected at week 8 post challenge and used to analyze the gene profile with Affymetrix microarrays. We sought to obtain the different genes expression profiles between the Vac-Cha group and Inf-Con group.The Vac-Cha group is three pigs vaccinated with UV attenuated Schistosoma japonicum cercariae and challenged with normal Schistosoma japonicum cercariae, and the Inf-Con group is three pigs infected with normal cercariae. Samples pooled per group. A list of differentially-regulated genes can be found in the supplementary file below.

Project description:Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the fifth most common malignancy of cancer-related deaths worldwide, and prognosis of patients with HCC still remain unsatisfactory. Therefore, more reliable biomarkers for predicting the disease and understanding the mechanisms underlying cancer development need to be found out urgently. In this study, we explored the clinical significance and role of ALDOB, G6PD in HCC pathogenesis. Here we show that low ALDOB expression with high G6PD expression lead to patients' poor survival and prognosis by remodeling metabolic pathway and increasing tumor proliferation and metastasis. Stat5a regulates ALDOB expression positively but negatively to G6PD expression in mRNA level, simultaneously, ALDOB inhibits G6PD enzymatic activity by protein-protein interaction and we have found one of their interaction sites in ALDOB. These data suggest that ALDOB and G6PD could be potential biomarkers for HCC. We analyzed tissues from 5 hepatocellular carcinoma patients using the GeneChip PrimeView Human Gene Expression Array. Affymetrix microarray assays were performed according to the manufacturer's directions on total RNA isolated from patients' tissues. Array data was processed by Affymetrix Exon Array Computational Tool. No techinical replicates were performed.

Project description:Shikonin is a active component isolated from the roots of the traditional Chinese herb Lithospermum erythrorhizon and exhibits multiple pharmacological properties, such as anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-tumor effects. Here, the effects of shikonin on the gene expression of human lymphoma U937 cells were investigated using an Affymetrix GeneChip system. The cells were treated with 100 nM shikonin, and followed by incubation for 3h at 37°C. Flow cytometry analysis with Annexin-V and propidium iodide demonstrated that no cell death was observed in the cells at 100 nM shikonin. Of approximately 47,000 probe sets analyzed, many genes that were differentially expressed by a factor 2.0 or greater were identified in the cells treated with the compound. U937 cells, a human lymphoma cell line, were treated with 100 nM shikonin and followed by incubation for 3h at 37°C. The cells treated with dimethyl sulfoxide were served as control. Total RNA samples were prepared from the cells. Gene expression was analyzed by an Affymetrix GeneChip® system with a Human Genome U133-plus 2.0 array for analysis of over 47,000 transcripts. Sample preparation for array hybridization was carried out as described in the manufacturerâs instructions.

Project description:Hyperthermia is widely used to treat patients with various cancers. The 42.5ËC is well known as inflection point of hyperthermia and generally up to 42ËC of hyperthermia is used in clinical case to combine with other therapy. Here, the effects of heat stress at 42 or 44ËC for 90 min on the gene expression in HSC-3 human oral squamous carcinoma cells were investigated using an Affymetrix GeneChip system. The cells were treated with heat stress (42 or 44°C for 90 min) and followed by incubation for 0, 6, or 12 h at 37°C. The percentage of cell death was 5.0 ± 1.5 (mean ± SD) at 42°C for 12 h and 17.4 ± 0.6 at 44°C for 12 h. Of approximately 47,000 probe sets analyzed, many genes that were differentially expressed by a factor 2.0 or greater were identified in the cells treated with heat stress at 42 and 44°C. HSC-3 human oral squamous carcinoma cells were treated with heat stress (42 or 44°C for 90 min) and followed by incubation for 0, 6, or 12 h at 37°C. Non-treated cells were served as control.

Project description:To identify gene expression changes associated with Crtc1 deficiency, we performed genome-wide transcriptome profile analyses by using mouse cDNA microarrays in the cortex of Crtc1â/â and WT female mice BACKGROUND: Recent studies involve the arginine-decarboxylation product agmatine in mood regulation. Agmatine has antidepressant properties in rodent models of depression, and agmatinase (Agmat), the agmatine-degrading enzyme, is upregulated in the brain of mood disorders patients. We showed that mice lacking CREB-regulated transcription coactivator 1 (CRTC1) associate neurobehavioral and molecular depressive-like endophenotypes, as well as blunted responses to classical antidepressants. METHODS: The molecular basis of the behavioral phenotype of Crtc1â/â mice was further examined using microarray analysis. We characterized Agmat expression in the prefrontal cortex (PFC) and hippocampus (HIP) by quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR), Western blot (WB) analysis, and confocal immunofluorescence microscopy. The antidepressant effect of agmatine was assessed by the forced swim test (FST). Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) levels and eukaryotic elongation factor 2 (eEF2) phosphorylation were measured by WB. RESULTS: Microarray, qPCR and WB analyses revealed an upregulation of Agmat in Crtc1â/â PFC and HIP, where immunofluorescence microscopy showed more Agmat-expressing cells, notably parvalbumin- and somatostatin-interneurons. Acute agmatine treatment efficiently improved depressive-like behavior of Crtc1â/â mice in the FST, suggesting that exogenous agmatine has a rapid antidepressant effect through the compensation of agmatine deficit induced by upregulated Agmat. In WT mice, agmatine rapidly increased BDNF levels and eEF2 dephosphorylation, indicating that it might be a fastâacting antidepressant with NMDA receptor antagonist properties. CONCLUSIONS: Collectively, these findings support the involvement of the agmatinergic system in the depressive-like phenotype of Crtc1â/â mice, and allow a better understanding of the agmatinergic system and its putative role in major depression. RNA from cortex of 5 WT and 5 KO mice was used

Project description:During pregnancy, the myometrium remains quiescent but at term, switches to a state capable of producing a series of coordinated contractions for the delivery of the fetus. Myometrial contractions of labour signify the normal physiological end-point of pregnancy but the biochemical onset of labour may occur at or before term via a series of changes in expression of labour associated genes that are responsible for controlling the activity of the uterus during pregnancy and parturition. There is increasing evidence that components of the cAMP-signalling pathway are up-regulated in the human myometrium during pregnancy to promote the relaxation of the myometrium until term. Our aim was to determine which cAMP-associated genes are important during pregnancy and parturition by exposing myometrial cells to forskolin and performing an a gene array. We then plan to study the trend of the cAMP-associated genes at different stages of gestation and during labour. In this study, we used microarrays to elucidate forskolin responsive genes in human myometrium. These data may provide a broader view of gene networks and cellular functions regulated by forskolin in human myometrial cells. In our future study, this will also help us understand the role of cAMP in human parturition. Primary cultures of human myometrial cells were grown from myometrial biopsies obtained at the time of elective caesarean section at term. Cells were exposed to forskolin (100 µM) for 48 hours, and then total RNA were extracted from each culture. Two comparisons were carried out including: 1. Control 2. Forksolin
