Project description:To search for potential genes and pathways regulated by DOC2-hDAB2 in nasopharyngeal carcinoma, we compared the expression profile of C666-1 cells overexpressing DOC2/hDAB2 to vector control-transfected cells.
Project description:The onset of an infection-specific transcriptional program precedes the clinical diagnosis in patients who developed Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP). Ventilator-associated tracheobronchitis (VAT) is another respiratory infection affecting<br><br>outcomes in intubated patients, but interactions between VAT and VAP remains unknown.
Project description:X-ray CT was used to determine the growth velocity of individual tubers. RNA was extracted from tubers growing at different velocities and used for microarray hybridisation.
Project description:The experiment followed transcriptional changes during potato tuber induction from a stolon tip to a tuber. Samples were taken at stage 1, stage 3, stage 4 and stage 5 according to Kloosterman et al., 2005
Project description:To identify genes and related pathways that are regulated by radiotherapy in acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) patients lymphocytes, we have employed whole genome microarray expression profiling as a discovery platform to identify genes associated with total body irradiation (TBI) therapy. Purified peripheral lymphocytes were sampled 24 h after each 4.5 Gray TBI treatment (total 9 Gray) from 4 adult patients receiving hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, and the results showed that 478 genes were differentially expressed with increasing TBI dose, and serial test of cluster (STC) analysis suggested three major patterns in these genes. Modulated genes were constructed to co-expression network and identified significant GO as follow: ubiquitin-dependent protein catabolic process, transcription, proteolysis and apoptosis et al. The reliability of the data obtained from the microarray was verified by performing quantitative real-time PCR on 12 representative genes. This study provides candidate genes associated with TBI sensitivity for further research.
Project description:Mice (n=85) were anaesthetised by ip injection (0.1 ml/10 g) of xylazine (5%) and ketamine (10%) diluted in sterile water. After placing animals in a stereotactic frame, the skull surface was exposed and holes were drilled at the appropriate sites to allow bilateral infusion of ibotenic acid (10 ï¾µg/ï¾µl in saline) with a glass capillary (40 ï¾µm external tip) glued to a 1 ï¾µl Hamilton syringe connected to stereotactic syringe pump (KDS 310, KD scientific). Antero-posterior (AP), lateral (L) and vertical (V) coordinates (in mm) for micro-infusions in the dorsal hippocampus, were taken relative to the bregma: (1) AP -1.7, L +/- 1, V -1.5; (2) (2) AP -2.2, L +/- 1.5, V -1.5; (3) AP -2.6, L+/- 2, V -1.5 (based on brain atlas by Paxinos and Franklin, 2004). The infused volume of ibotenic acid or PBS was 30 nl per injection site. The rate of infusion was 30 nl/min and the needle was left in situ for another 2 min, before being slowly retracted.
Project description:CD56brightCD16-, CD56dimNKG2A+ and CD56dimNKG2A- NK cells subsets were FACS sorted and their transcriptional profile were compared after whole genome microarray analysis.
Project description:Gene transcription was compared in brain between noninfected mice and infected mice after 6h of intraperitoneal infection by Neisseria meningitidis
Project description:Transcript profiling of wild type (cv. Solara) vs. At CKX 1 expressing potato tubers in an in vitro sprouting assay using gibberellic acid.
