Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is an anticancer approach utilizing a light-absorbing molecule and visible light irradiation to generate, in the presence of O(2), cytotoxic reactive oxygen species, which cause tumor ablation. Given that the photosensitizer hypericin is under consideration for PDT treatment of bladder cancer we used oligonucleotide microarrays in the T24 bladder cancer cell line to identify differentially expressed genes with therapeutic potential. This study reveals that the expressi ...[more]

Project description:AtGenExpress: A multinational coordinated effort to uncover the transcriptome of the multicellular model organism Arabidopsis thaliana (Hybridisations done at NASC). The activity of genes and their encoded products can be regulated in several ways, but transcription is the primary level, since all other modes of regulation (RNA splicing, RNA and protein stability, etc.) are dependent on a gene being transcribed in the first place. The importance of transcriptional regulation has been underscored by the recent flood of global expression analyses, which have confirmed that transcriptional co-regulation of genes that act together is the norm, not the exception. Moreover, many studies suggest that evolutionary change is driven in large part by modifications of transcriptional programs. An essential first step toward deciphering the transcriptional code is to determine the expression pattern of all genes. With this goal in mind, an international effort to develop a gene expression atlas of Arabidopsis has been underway since fall 2003. This project, dubbed AtGenExpress, is funded by the DFG, and will provide the Arabidopsis community with access to a large set of Affymetrix microarray data. As part of this collaboration, we have generated expression data from 80 biologicaly different samples in triplicate. Series 1: Growth conditions: Sterilized seeds will be stratified at 4degreeC for 3 days, exposed to white light for 2 h to induce germination, and grown on MS agar plates (0.9 % agar) without sugar in total darkness for 4 days at 22degreeC. Seedlings will then be transferred to the light conditions described for each slide below for 1 h (to identify early induced genes) and 4 hrs (maximum expression of the first initial light response of most target genes), respectively. All light treatments will be done in parallel to minimize the number of dark controls. All samples will be done in triplicate and only with shoots.

Project description:Ultraviolet (UV) wavebands in sunlight are immunomodulatory. About half the amount of UVA within a minimum erythemal dose of sunlight is systemically immunosuppressive, while higher doses protect from UVB immunosuppression in mice. We have previously shown that these responses to UVA are genetically restricted as they occur in C57BL/6 but not Balb/c mice. We used gene set enrichment analysis of microarray data and real-time RT-PCR confirmation to determine the molecular mechanisms associated with UVA immunomodulation. We found up-regulation of mRNA for the alternative complement pathway. The core-enriched genes complement component 3, properdin and complement factor B were all activated by the immunosuppressive dose of UVA only in UVA-responsive C57BL/6 but not unresponsive BALB/c mice. This therefore matched the genetic restriction and dose responsiveness of UVA immunosuppression. The immune-protective higher UVA dose prevented UVB from down regulating chemokine receptor 7 and IL-12B, and decreased IL-10, supporting previous identification of IL-12 and IL-10 in high dose UVA protection from UVB immunosuppression. Our study has identified activation of the alternative complement pathway as a trigger of UVA-induced systemic immunosuppression and suggests that this pathway is likely to be an important sensor of UVA-induced damage to the skin. 24 hours after UVA, UVB and ssUV irradiation, a 1 cm2 uniform section of skin was excised from the dorsal surface of irradiated and control mice. Total RNA was then extracted from the whole skin using TRIzol reagent (Gibco Invitrogen Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA, USA) according to the manufacturerâ??s instructions, purified, DNase treated and reverse transcribed into cDNA. For the microarray study a direct incorporation of Cyanine 3-dCTP and Cyanine 5-dCTP fluorescent dyes (Perkin Elmer Life Sciences, Inc. Boston, MA, USA) was used for cDNA synthesis. For each UV dose, a reference design was used to compare an unirradiated control against an irradiated sample. Microarray experiments used compugen 22k mouse oligonucleotide microarray slides (The Clive and Vera Ramaciotti Centre for Gene Function Analysis, Sydney Australia (http://www.ramaciotti.unsw.edu.au). Lower and higher UVA doses were used. C57BL/6 mice were irradiated with lower UVA, higher UVA, UVB, or ssUV; Balb/C mice were irradiated with lower or higher UVA. Experiments were replicated 6 times for each UV dose. A fluorescent dye swap was done for each alternate hybridisation to reduce systematic dye bias of incorporated fluorescent dyes.
