Project description:Mice with colonic tumors (chemically induced by AOM/DSS) were treated with Nutlin or control vehicle solution to analyze p53 target gene expression in vivo.
Project description:MOLM-13 acute myeloid leukemia cells were treated with 7 µM 5-Azacytidine (Cayman Chemical 11164), or 450 nM CB-5083 (Cayman Chemical 19311), or in combination, or 0.1% DMSO as control. Treatments were conducted for 48 hours.
Project description:In the present study, Marchantia polymorpha Mppcs loss of function mutants were generated through CRISPR/cas9 mediated genome-editing. To assess whether the knockout of MpPCS gene affects the transcription of M. polymorpha nuclear genes in unstressed condition, the Mppcs-2 knockout mutant and Cam2 wild-type transcriptomes were compared by RNA-Seq.
Project description:Silencing of DND1 in potato leads to resistance to late blight, powdery mildew and Botrytis cinerea. At the same time, however, it reduces plant growth and causes leaf necrosis. To get knowledge on the molecular events behind the pleiotropic effect of DND1 downregulation in potato transcriptome analysis were performed on three DND1 silenced lines in comparison with the potato cultivar ‘Désirée’ as a wild-type.
Project description:Chromatin immunoprecipitation was carried out using an anti-MYB antibody in PDX-derived ACCX11 adenoid cystic carcinoma cells. Input samples were extracted prior to the addition of antibody.
Project description:The non-tumourigenic breast cell line MCF10A was transduced using pINDUCER21-MYB vector to express MYB upon addition of doxyclyclin (DOX), and compared to an empty vector (EV) control (pINDUCER21 (ORF-EG)) with and without the addition of DOX
Project description:Although Lgr5+ intestinal stem cells have been expanded in vitro as organoids, homogeneous culture of these cells has not been possible so far. Here we show that two small molecules, CHIR99021 and valproic acid, synergistically maintain self-renewal of mouse Lgr5+ intestinal stem cells, resulting in nearly homogeneous cultures. The colony-forming efficiency of cells from these cultures is ~100-fold greater than that of cells cultured in the absence of CHIR99021 and valproic acid, and multilineage differentiation ability is preserved. We made use of these homogeneous cultures to identify conditions employing simultaneous modulation of Wnt and Notch signaling to direct lineage differentiation into mature enterocytes, goblet cells and Paneth cells. Expansion in these culture conditions may be feasible for Lgr5+ cells from the mouse stomach and colon and from the human small intestine. These methods provide new tools for the study and application of multiple intestinal epithelial cell types. Total RNA was isolated from two independently established wild-type mouse small intestinal organoid lines after culture for 6 days in control condition or in the presence of CHIR99021, Valproic Acid (VPA) or both compounds. cRNA was labeled with Cy5 and hybridized against Cy3 labeled cRNA from control organoids (as an internal reference) on 4X44K Agilent Whole Mouse Genome dual colour Microarrays (G4122F), resulting in eight individual arrays.
Project description:Cryptomonas sp. was grown under phototrophic conditions, glucose supplemented phototrophic conditions and 3 different dissolved organic carbon (DOC) concentrations: 1.5, 30 and 90 mg C l−1. The objective was to study the adaptations that make Cryptomonas sp. thrive under high DOC conditions.
Project description:In order to unravel the impact of intestinal smooth muscle tissue on the intestinal epithelium, we isolated clean smooth muscle, cultured it for 24h in DMEM-F12, and collected the supernatant (muscle-SN). This supernatant was used to treat small intestinal organoids (made of intestinal epithelium), compared to normal ENR treatment. After 5 days of muscle-SN exposure, we disrupted the organoids, and directly isolate the RNA. RNA-seq was performed in this sample to assess the genetic changes induced by muscle products.
