Project description:In vitro production (IVP) has been shown to affect embryonic gene expression and often result in large offspring syndrome (LOS) in cattle and sheep. To dissect the effects of in vitro maturation, fertilization and culture, we compared the expression profiles of single bovine blastocysts generated by: 1) in vitro maturation, fertilization and culture (IVF); 2) in vivo maturation, fertilization and in vitro culture (IVD); and 3) in vivo maturation, fertilization and development (AI). To conduct expression profiling, total RNA was isolated from individual embryos, linearly amplified and hybridized to a custom bovine cDNA microarray containing approximately 6,300 unique genes. There were 306, 367 and 200 genes differentially expressed between the AI and IVD, IVF and IVD and AI and IVF comparisons, respectively. Interestingly, 44 differentially expressed genes were identified between the AI embryos and both the IVF and IVD embryos, making these potential candidates for LOS. There were 60 genes differentially expressed between the IVF embryos and the AI and IVD embryos. The Gene Ontology category M-bM-^@M-^\RNA processingM-bM-^@M-^] was over-represented among the genes that were down-regulated in the IVF embryos, indicating an effect of in vitro oocyte maturation/fertilization on embryonic gene expression. A culture effect on the expression of genes involved in translation was also observed by the comparison of AI to IVD embryos. Reference design with dye swap. 43 individual embryos were analyzed.

Project description:Tissue from mammary, liver, and three adipose depots (mesenteric, omental, and subcutaneous) was collected at slaughter from a cow at peak lactation to examine gene expression profiles of 7872 sequences using a bovine cDNA microarray. RNA (20 ug) from tissues and a reference standard derived from a mixture of tissues were used to make aminoallyl-labeled cDNA followed by incorporation of Cy3-ester and Cy5-ester (Amersham, Piscataway, NJ). Each experimental sample was co-hybridized with the reference standard, which allowed the treatment of fluorescence ratios as measurements of relative expression across all samples and time points. Probes were hybridized to the array for 2 days at 42 C. All samples were hybridized to duplicate slides for a total of 4 spots per cDNA element. The microarray platform has already been described [Everts et al. (2005) Vet. Immunol. Immunopathol. 105:235-245]. Slides were scanned for both dye channels with a Scanarray 4000 (GSI-Lumonics, Billerica, MA) dual-laser confocal scanner and images were processed using GenePix 4.0 (Axon Instruments, Inc., CA).

Project description:Cows were selected from two groups of 12 cows enrolled in a large experiment to assess the effects of ad libitum or restricted intake of moderate-energy diets during the entire dry period on pre-partum metabolism and post-partum metabolism and performance. A corn silage-based diet (26% of diet dry matter) providing 1.59 Mcal/kg during the far-off dry period (first 5 wk of an 8-wk dry period) or providing 1.61 Mcal/kg during the close-up dry period (last 3 wk of the dry period) was fed for ad libitum or restricted intake. Four multiparous Holstein cows were randomly selected from the ad libitum and restricted intake groups. A 7,872-element cDNA microarray spotted in duplicate on amino silane-coated glass slides (Everts et al. 2005, Vet. Immunol. Immunopathol. 105:235-245) was used for transcript profiling. Annotation was based on similarity searches (January, 2005) using sequential BLASTN and TBLASTX against human and mouse UniGene databases and the human genome. The 7,872-element array represents more than 6,300 unique genes. Gene Ontology (GO) terms were parsed from LocusLink to functionally annotate cDNA sequences. RNA (20 ug) from liver tissue and a reference standard derived from a mixture of tissues not including liver were used to make aminoallyl-labeled cDNA followed by incorporation of Cy3-ester and Cy5-ester (Amersham, Piscataway, NJ). Each experimental sample was co-hybridized with the reference standard, which allowed the treatment of fluorescence ratios as measurements of relative expression across all samples and time points. Probes were hybridized to the array for 2 days at 42 C. All samples were hybridized to duplicate slides for a total of 4 spots per cDNA element. A total of 106 microarrays were run to complete the experiment. Slides were scanned for both dye channels with a Scanarray 4000 (GSI-Lumonics, Billerica, MA) dual-laser confocal scanner and images were processed using GenePix 4.0 (Axon Instruments, Inc., CA).

Project description:The Notch signaling is an evolutionarily conserved signal transduction cascade that plays essential roles in a variety of developmental processes. In this study, we examined the mib mutants for defects in pancreas development using in situ hybridization and GFP expression analysis of pancreas-specific GFP lines, and carried out the global gene expression profile analysis of three different mib mutantalleles. Global expression profile analysis showed that there is a significant difference in gene expression profile of wild type and three mib mutant alleles. There are 91 differentially expressed genes that are common to all three mib alleles. Through detailed analysis of microarray data we have identified several previously characterized genes and some putative Notch-responsive genes involved in pancreas development, and validated theirexpression profile using real-time PCR and in situ hybridization. We propose that this study provides a useful resource of global gene expressionprofile in mib mutants, which will be helpful in identifying the function of novel genes involved in Notch signaling and Notch-responsive genesinvolved in a variety of developmental processes. Keywords: comparison of global gene expression in mib mutant and wild type embryos All samples were analysed on Zebrafish microarray chips generated at the Genome Institute of Singapore

Project description:SF-1, a transcription factor belonging to the nuclear receptor superfamily, has a pivotal role for adrenogonadal development in humans and mice. A constant feature of childhood adrenocortical tumors (ACT) is SF-1 amplification and overexpression. Using an inducible cellular system, here we show that SF-1 overexpression increases human adrenocortical cell proliferation through opposing effects on cell cycle and apoptosis. SF-1 overexpression also selectively modulates steroidogenesis, reducing cortisol and aldosterone secretion. We identified a novel pro-apoptotic factor for adrenocortical cells, NOV/CCN3, whose levels are significantly reduced by SF-1 overexpression in human adrenocortical cells and are also reduced in primary adrenal tumors. Moreover, Sf-1 overexpression triggers adrenocortical hyperplasia and tumor formation in mice. These tumors express gonadal markers and activated Stat3. Our studies reveal the critical role of SF-1 gene dosage for adrenocortical tumorigenesis and constitute a rationale for the development of drugs targeting SF-1 transcriptional activity for ACT therapy. Keywords: differential expression, transcription factor Gene expression profiles were analyzed in two different H295R TR/SF-1 WT clones overexpressing SF-1 in a tetracycline-regulated fashion cultured in basal conditions or after three days of doxycycline treatment. For each condition, two biological replicates were examined.

Project description:Despite being one of the first eukaryotic transcriptional regulatory elements identified, the sequence of a native TATA box and its significance remain elusive. Applying criteria associated with TATA boxes we queried several Saccharomyces genomes and arrived at the consensus TATA(A/T)A(A/T)(A/G). Approximately 20% of yeast genes contain a TATA box. Strikingly, TATA box-containing genes are associated with responses to stress, are highly regulated, and preferentially utilize SAGA rather than TFIID when compared to TATA-less promoters. Transcriptional regulation in yeast appears to be mechanistically bipolar, possibly reflecting a need to balance inducible stress-related responses with constitutive housekeeping functions. A strain containing amino terminal HA-tagged TBP and its parental untagged counterpart BY4741 (Resgen) were grown at 23?C in CSM to OD600 = 0.8-1.0. Cultures were shifted to 37?C for 5 minutes (to mimic heat treatments used elsewhere (Huisinga and Pugh, 2004)), then crosslinked at 23?C with 1% formaldehyde. ChIP was performed as described previously (Strahl-Bolsinger et al., 1997) with the some modification. Following cell disruption with glass beads, the chromatin was partially purified by centrifugation (Kurdistani and Grunstein, 2003). HA-TBP was immunopurified with 12CA5 antibody. After elution and reversal of the crosslinks, samples were subjected to non-specific amplification, labeling, and array hybridization as described (Bohlander et al., 1992; Chitikila et al., 2002). The amplification procedure was modified as follows. Following 15 round B amplification cycles, DNA was purified via QIAquick PCR Purification kit. Ten cycles were used in round C. Intergenic microarrays were generated by PCR amplification of entire intergenic regions of all yeast genes, then spotted onto glass slides. Spot intensities were filtered to remove any signal that was less then one standard deviation above local background. Three replicates were performed and their log2 ratios (enriched/input) were averaged. Keywords = Chromatin Immunoprecipitation Keywords = genome-wide binding
