All the treatment last for 48 hours and each group have two replications.
Project description:ARPE-19 RPE cells obtained from the Type Culture Collection of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (Shanghai, China) were cultured in DMEM medium with 10% FBS (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, USA) at the incubator with 37 °C, 5% CO2 and 100% humidity. Final concentration of 15 μM curcumin (C7727, Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, USA) and 100 μM CoCl4 (10007216, Sinopharm Chemical Reagent, Shanghai, China) were added within serum-free medium for 24 h and 4 h respectively. RNA-seq was performed to investigate the transcriptome alteration.
Project description:Transcriptional profiling of human epidermoid carcinoma cell comparing control A431-P cells with highly invasive subline A431-III cells No treatmentt, A431-P cells vs. A431-III cells. A431-P cells are used as a reference to invstigate A431-III cells.
Project description:RNA sequencing of A431 cell line samples before and after gefitinib treatment, at 0, 2, 6 and 24 hours, was performed in order to characterize the cell line's early and late response to this drug, and to compare against proteomics (mass spectrometry) characterization of the cell line using the same setup. These data were used in Branca et al., HiRIEF LC-MS enables deep proteome coverage and unbiased proteogenomics., Nat Methods. 2014 Jan;11(1):59-62 (doi: 10.1038/nmeth.2732).
Project description:Background: The lack of obvious symptoms of early gastric cancer (GC) as well as the absence of sensitive and specific biomarkers results in poor clinical outcomes. Tubulin is currently emerging as important regulators of the microtubule cytoskeleton and thus have a strong potential to be implicated in a number of disorders, however, its mechanism of action in gastric cancer is still unclear. Tubulin alpha-1C(TUBA1C) is a subtype of α-tubulin, high TUBA1C expression has been shown to be closely related to a poor prognosis in in various cancers,this study, for the first time, revealed the mechanism of TUBA1C promotes malignant progression of gastric cancer in vitro and in vivo. Methods: The expression of lncRNA EGFR-AS1 was detected in human GC cell lines by qRT–PCR. Mass spectrometry experiments following RNA pulldown assays found that EGFR-AS1 directly binds to TUBA1C, the CCK8, EdU, transwell, wound-healing, cell cycle assays and animal experiments were conducted to investigate the function of TUBA1C in GC. Combined with bioinformatics analyses, reveal interaction between Ki-67, E2F1, PCNA and TUBA1C by western blot. Rescue experiments furtherly demonstrated the relationship of EGFR-AS1and TUBA1C. Results: TUBA1C was proved to be a direct target of EGFR-AS1, TUBA1C promotes gastric cancer proliferation, migration and invasion by accelerating the progression of the cell cycle from the G1 phase to the S phase and activating the expression of oncogenes: Ki-67,E2F1 and PCNA. Conclusions: TUBA1C is a new potential target of LncRNA EGFR-AS1 promotes gastric cancer progression and could be a novel biomarker and therapeutic target for GC.
Project description:Two cervicitis and four cervical squamous cell carcinoma (two I-IIa and two IIb-IV) were selected from the medical records of the Department of Gynecology of Yuhuangding Hospital from January to July 2017. These six samples were performed MeDIP and hMeDIP-seq to characterize the global pattern of 5mC and 5hmC.
Project description:Kallmann Syndrome (KS) is a rare human genetic disorder characterized by the hypogonadotropic hypogonadism with the reduction or absence of olfactory sense. The mutations on the multiple genes including Chemokine Prokineticin-2 (PROK2) were considered to contribute to the abnormal migration of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) neurons in embryonic stage. Here, we submit RNA-seq of the peripheral blood and the cell free miRNA-seq in the serum of one family, in which the KS patient has the same mutation of PROK2 (c.223-4C>A) with his mother, and the genetic phenotype of his father is normal. The sexual development and function of his parents are normal.
Project description:Avian leukosis virus (ALV) causes substantial economic losses from mortality and decreased performance in poultry industry. To characterize the response to ALV challenge, we developed a novel methodology that combines four datasets: mRNA expression and their associated regulatory factors of miRNA and lncRNA, and ALV gene expression. Specific Pathogen-Free (SPF) layer chickens were assigned to the ALV-infected or control group. Spleen samples (n=6) were collected at 40 days post injection (dpi), and sequenced. Comparing the infected and non-infected groups, 864 genes, 7 miRNAs and 17 lncRNAs were differentially expressed.
Project description:Long non-coding Rnas (lncRNAs) can act as oncogenes or tumor suppressors to regulate cancer development. We found that CYP1B1-AS1 was down-regulated in breast cancer tissues and correlated with the prognosis of patients. Lentiviral vectors were used to overexpress CYP1B1-AS1 in MCF7 cells, and the target proteins bound to CYP1B1-AS1 were detected by pulldown assay and mass spectrometry. The function of CYP1B1-AS1 is unknown. Our study revealed the molecular mechanism of CYP1B1-AS1 inhibiting breast cancer proliferation in breast cancer, and provided a new strategy for the treatment of breast cancer targeting lncRNA.
Project description:To better understand the epigenetic mechanism underlying pubertal onset, the hypothalamic genome-wide DNA methylation and hydroxymethylation patterns as well as the transcription profiles in mouse arcuate nucleus at early and late pubertal stages were explored. Female mice have been widely used in multiple studies on pubertal development as they present the similar molecular behaviors in HPG axis and stable cycles of menstrual calendar like human. Hypothalamic ARC underwent a huge epigenetic and genetic reprogramming to adapt to the response and feedback on sexual hormones during the stages of early pubertal (2-5-week of age) and late puberty (5-8-week of age) . We harvested 4- and 8-week hypothalamic ARC and employed RNA-seq, reduced representation bisulfite sequencing (RRBS) and hydroxymethylation profiling (RRHP) on a genome-wide scale. We identified a large number of differential expressed genes (DEGs) and differential 5(h)mC signals across the whole genome. We discovered novel connections between DNA (hydroxyl)methylated modification and gene expression, emphasizing the importance of epigenetic alterations in regulating transcription in puberty onset.
