Project description:We aimed to identify a reprogramming factor in mammalian oocytes. DJ-1 is one candidate gene of the factor. Inhibition of DJ-1 function in nuclear transfer embryos affected developmental abilities. The downstream effect of this DJ-1 inhibition was examined using microarrays. Nuclear transfer (NT) embryos (23-26 embryos per each sample) were collected at 28 h after nuclear transfer when many of the embryos had just reached the 2-cell stage. Total RNA was extracted and hybridized on the Affymetrix GeneChip Porcine Genome Array. Global transcripts were compared among NT embryos injected with anti-DJ1 antibody (αDJ1-NT_1), NT embryos injected with IgG (IgG-NT_1), non-injected NT embryos (NT_1) and donor cells (DonorCell_1). Biologically different samples of αDJ1-NT (αDJ1-NT_2) and IgG-NT (IgG-NT_2) were prepared and the microarray analysis was repeated. In both trials, NT embryos injected with IgG (IgG-NT_1 or IgG-NT_2) were used as controls.

Project description:We have derived hESC from biopsied blastomeres of cleavage stage embryos under virtually the same conditions we used for the derivation of hESC lines from inner cell mass of blastocyst stage embryos. Blastomere-derived hESC lines exhibited all the standard characteristics of hESC including undifferentiated proliferation, genomic stability, expression of pluripotency markers and the ability to differentiate into the cells of all three germ layers both in vitro and in vivo. To examine whether hESC lines derived from two developmental stages of the embryo differ in gene expression, we have subjected three blastomere-derived hESC lines and two ICM-derived hESC lines grown under identical culture conditions to transcriptome analysis using gene expression arrays. Unlike previously reported comparisons of hESC lines which demonstrated, apart from core hESC-associated pluripotency signature, significant variations in gene expression profiles of different lines, our data show that hESC lines derived and grown under well-controlled defined culture conditions adopt nearly identical gene expression profiles. Moreover, blastomere-derived and ICM-derived hESC exhibited very similar transcriptional profiles independent of the developmental stage of the embryo from which they originated. Furthermore, this profile was evident in very early passages of the cells and did not appear to be affected by extensive passaging. These results suggest that during derivation process cells which give rise to hESC acquire virtually identical stable phenotype and are not affected by the developmental stage of the starting cell population. we investigated whether human stem cell lines derived from late totipotent blastomeres of the cleavage stage embryo develop a more “primitive” phenotype than ICM-derived lines by profiling their respective gene expression, molecular regulation and signaling pathways. In this study, we examined whether the inherent differences in the development stage of the starting embryonic cell population are maintained in the derived hESC lines by evaluating the stemness, differentiation capacity and gene expression profiles of blastomere- and ICM-derived hESC lines.

Project description:In order to analyze the global changes in gene expression resulting from loss of Fra signaling, we performed a microarray experiment comparing Drosophila embryos containing a loss of function fra[3] mutation to age matched wildtype embryos. RNA extracted from fra[3] mutant vs. wildtype embryos were hybridized to the Affymetrix GeneChip Drosophila Genome 2.0 . We selected Drosophila embryos at stage 13, which marks the onset of Fra expression in the embryonic CNS and the early stages of commissural axon guidance in the ventral nerve cord. RNA was extracted from both fra[3] and wildtype embryos. Hybridization experiments were performed on Affymetrix Drosophila Genome 2.0 microarrays.

Project description:Homeobox genes of the Hox class are required for proper patterning of skeletal elements and play a role in cartilage differentiation. In transgenic mice with overexpression of Hoxc8 during cartilage development, we observed severe defects, namely physical instability of cartilage, accumulation of immature chondrocytes, and decreased maturation to hypertrophy. To define the molecular basis underlying these defects, we performed gene expression profiling using the Affymetrix microarray platform. Embryos were dissected from four different mouse litters at E18.5. Embryos from each litter were grouped according their genotype: TA=control; TR=transgenic.

Project description:Pax6 is a transcription factor with key functional roles in embryonic development. In order to identify downstream effectors of Pax6 in the developing cerebral cortex we performed microarray analysis. We compared gene expression profiles of cortical tissues isolated from wild type and Pax6-/- mouse embryos. In order to identify Pax6 downstream targets we carried out microarray analysis of Pax6-/- mutant mice. Pax6 is highly expressed in the mouse cerebral cortex at embryonic day E14.5, therefore we selected this tissue in order to compare gene expression profiles between wild type and Pax6-/- homozygous cortici. RNA samples were isolated from three mutant and three wild type embryos.

Project description:To further identify the transcriptional changes underlying congenital tracheal malformation in a1H knockout mice, the differential gene expression panel was examined by Affymetrix microarray. To investigate the roles of a1H-regulated genes in tracheal development, we characterize the unique transcriptional changes of early trachea in kockout mice, and compare the expression profiles of knock out trachea with those of wild type trachea. We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression underlying cellularisation and identified distinct classes of up or down-regulated genes during this process. Mouse embryos trachea were collected at embryo day 16 (E16) for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. We sought to obtain homozygous mouse embryos trachea in order to compare with gene expression profile of wild type mouse tracheal.

Project description:In the early zebrafish embryo, the developing genome profile can be interfered with by exposure to pentachlorophenol, and some specific sets of genes are up-regulated or down-regulated. We used microarrays to detail the global program of gene expression underlying cellularisation and identified distinct classes of up-regulated genes during this process. Zebrafish embryos were selected at successive stages of early development for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. We selected embryos exposed to 20 ug/L pentachlorophenol (C1), 50 ug/L pentachlorophenol (C2), and deionized water control (C3) at the gastrula stage (about 8hpf).

Project description:The root cap surrounds the root meristem, protecting it from harsh environments and facilitating root movement through soil. In Arabidopsis, new root cap cells produced in the meristem displace older cells toward the root periphery, where they undergo programmed cell death and are released from the root. This rapid cell turnover is a unique feature of the root cap and is modulated in part by the combined action of four NAC transcription factors, as well as cell wall modification enzymes. Here we show that the transcription factor NIN-LIKE PROTEIN 7 (NLP7) regulates root cap maturation in Arabidopsis by modulating expression of each of the NAC TFs as well as several cell wall modifying enzymes. NLP7 is a homolog of NIN, a transcription factor required for nodulation in Lotus japonicas, and is highly expressed in the columella root cap. Mutants have altered columella root cap development and decreased levels of homogalacturonan, a major component of pectin. Reverse genetic analysis of genes differentially expressed in nlp7 roots showed that two cell wall modifying enzymes, CELLULASE5 and XTH5, modulate root cap maturation likely downstream of NLP7. Plant cell wall modification is critical for nodulation, and we propose that this characteristic is also present in NLPs. We used microarrays to identify the differences in gene expression between whole roots of WT and nlp7-1 Arabidopsis plants Roots were cut at the root/hypocotyl junction and collected into RLT buffer in the RNeasy plant mini kit. Approximately 60 roots were collected per replicate, with two biological replicates. RNA was extracted using the RNeasy Micro Kit. Probes for array analysis were preparedfrom 1μg total RNA with the one-cycle amplification protocol by Affymetrix according to the manufacturer's instructions. Samples were submitted to Expression Analysis Inc. (Durham, NC) for hybridization to Arabidopsis Whole Genome ATH1 Affymetrix GeneChips.

Project description:We have found that the cell yield of oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs) are higher in 31.5 degC than in 37 degC not by suppression of apoptosis but by enhancement of proliferation. Here, we performed transcriptome analysis using Affymetrix GeneChip on the primary cultured oligodendrocyte precursor cells prepared from the brain of ICR mice. Oligodendrocyte precursor cells were prepared from primary mixed cell cultures of embryonic mouse cerebral hemispheres. The cerebral hemispheres from 15-day-old mouse embryos were enzymatically dissociated, seeded and cultured for 5 days in D-MEM containing 10% FBS. The cells were passaged to serum-free basal medium and cultured for further 48 hr at 37 degC and 31.5 degC.
