Project description:TDP-43 is an important RNA binding protein. To better understand its binding targets in human neurons, we performed TDP-43 iCLIP on SHSY5Y cells.
Project description:Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are a diverse category of transcripts with poor conservation and have expanded greatly in primates, particularly in their brain. We identified a lncRNA, which has acquired 16 microRNA response elements (MREs) for miR-143-3p in the Catarrhini branch of primates. This lncRNA termed LncND (neuro-development) gets expressed in neural progenitor cells and then declines in mature neurons. Binding and release of miR-143-3p, by LncND, can control the expression of Notch. Its expression is highest in radial glia cells in the ventricular and outer subventricular zones of human fetal brain. Down-regulation of LncND in neuroblastoma cells reduced cell proliferation and induced neuronal differentiation, an effect phenocopied by miR-143-3p over-expression and supported by RNA-seq analysis. These findings support a role for LncND in miRNA-mediated regulation of Notch signaling in the expansion of the neural progenitor pool of primates and hence contributing to the rapid growth of the cerebral cortex. SHSY5Y cells treated either with miR-143-3p mimic or 100 nM of siRNA specific for LncND were sequenced on NextSeq500 platform. Scrambled siRNA or miRNA sequences were used as a negative control.

Project description:The trace element manganese is essential for normal development for all the organisms. Overexposure of manganese may leads to multiple neuronal disorders such as Parkinson, manganism. To explore the molecular mechanism of manganese induced neurotoxicity, gene expression profiling was performed on human neuroblastoma SHSY-5Y cells. Cells were exposed to sub-lethal concentration of manganese (100 μM) for 24 hrs. Our result demonstrates that manganese alter multiple biological pathways including chromatin assembly, neurogenesis and apoptotic pathways.Cells grown in 75mm2 flask. three replicates for each sample SHSY5Y cells grown in MEM:F12 media (1:1) were treated with manganese and total RNA was isolated from cells after 24 hour exposure Three replicate were used for the experiment
Project description:Use of human whole blood for transcriptomic analysis has potential advantages over the use of isolated immune cells for studying the transcriptional response to pathogens and their products. Whole blood stimulation can be carried out in a laboratory without the expertise or equipment to isolate immune cells from blood, with the added advantage of being able to undertake experiments using very small volumes of blood. Toll like receptors (TLRs) are a family of pattern recognition receptors which recognise highly conserved microbial products. Using the TLR2 ligand (Pam3CSK4) and the TLR4 ligand (LPS) human whole blood was stimulated for 0, 1, 3, 6, 12 or 24 hours at which times mRNA was isolated and a comparative microarray was undertaken. A common NFκB transcriptional programme was identified following both TLR2 and TLR4 ligation which peaked at between 3 to 6 hours including upregulation of many of the NFκB family members. In contrast an interferon transcriptional response was observed following TLR4 but not TLR2 ligation as early as 1 hour post stimulation and peaking at 6 hours. These results recapitulate the findings observed in previously published studies using isolated murine and human myeloid cells indicating that in vitro stimulated human whole blood can be used to interrogate the transcriptional kinetics response of innate cells to TLR ligands. Our study demonstrates that with a systems biology approach analysis of mRNA isolated from human whole blood can delineate both the temporal response and the key transcriptional differences following TLR2 and TLR4 ligation. 6 healthy human volunteers. 1ml whole blood stimulated in vitro with either LPS (1ng/ml), Pam3CSK4 (200ng/ml) or media for 0, 1, 3, 6 12 or 24 hours.
Project description:The main scientific objective of the project was to investigate whether Lamin A/C could be involved in neuroblastoma differentiation. Moreover, taking into account the significance of differentiation stage in the neuroblastoma tumor progression we have also studied a possible role of Lamin A/C in the tumorigenesis of this neuronal cancer. As differentiating stimulus we used the all-trans retinoic acid (RA), the most effective compound which has been shown to induce differentiation in neuroblastoma cells. To get insight into the impairment of cell differentiation produced by the LMNA (Lamin A/C) silencing in SHSY5Y cells, we compared the gene expression profile of control and silenced cells both in Retinoic Acid treated and untreated samples, using the one-color Agilent microarray platform. Four condition experiment: cells infected with a mock vector (Mock cells), treated and untreated with retinoic acid (RA); cells infected with a silencing vector for LMNA (LMNA-KD cells), treated and untreated with retinoic acid.
Project description:Bovine purified protein derivative (bPPD) and avian purified protein derivative (aPPD) arewidely used forbovine tuberculosis diagnosis. However, little is known about their qualitative and quantitative characteristics, which makes their standardisation difficult. In addition, bPPDcan give false-positive tuberculosis results because of sequence homologybetween Mycobacterium bovis andM. avium proteins. Here we used proteomics to characterisebPPD, aPPD and an immunopurifiedsubcomplexfrombPPD called P22.
Project description:MicroRNAs are a group of non-coding small RNAs with lengths around 21~23nt and function as inhibitors to repress mRNA translation by targeting their 3' untranslated region. Recent research shows that microRNAs are involved in many biological processes such as cell growth, development and cancer, etc. Here, we introduce a novel artificial microRNA p-27-5p which can inhibit cell proliferation in breast cancer cell lines. This data shows the expression changes in breast cancer cell line T-47D with the effect of artificial miR-p-27-5p. 4 total samples were analyzed. We generated mimic/control paired samples with 2 repeats.
