Project description:Global comparisons of gene expression profiles between species provide significant insight into gene regulation, evolutionary processes, and disease mechanisms. In this work, we describe a flexible and intuitive approach for global expression profiling of closely related species, using high-density exon arrays designed for a single reference genome. The high-density probe coverage of exon arrays allows us to select the identical set of perfect-match probes for measuring expression levels of orthologous genes. This eliminates a serious confounding factor in probe affinity effects of species-specific microarray probes, and enables direct comparisons of estimated expression indexes across species. Keywords: analysis of gene expression in tissues We conducted Human Exon 1.0 array profiling of RNAs from three chimpanzee cerebellums and three chimpanzee livers

Project description:In this study, mRNA expression profiles of 113 primary untreated human neuroblastoma samples were compared with the aim to identify prognostic exon and gene sets as well as parameters associated with alternative exon use. The primary neuroblastoma specimens were from tumor banks in Cologne or Essen, Germany, Ghent, Belgium and Valencia, Spain. All patients were diagnosed between 1998 and 2007 and treated according to the German Neuroblastoma trials NB97, NB 2004 or the SIOPEN protocol. This submission contains 87 exon array profiles and are used together with exon array data from 26 Samples in GSE21713 (see 'Relation' links below) to predict the outcome of patients with neuroblastoma. The resulting dataset, which is linked below as a supplementary file ('GSE32664_complete_RMA_data.txt'), was used for the subsequent analyses.
Project description:Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) are used to treat non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLC) driven by epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations in the tyrosine kinase domain (TKD). TKI responses vary across tumors driven by the heterogeneous group of exon 19 deletions and mutations, but the molecular basis for these differences is not understood. We characterized the dynamics of the selected EGFR exon 19 mutants by HDX-MS to study the molecular basis of TKI sensitivity and tolerance.

Project description:Effects of aldosterone on the transcriptome in distal colon. Expression of genes was studied in distal colon surface cells from aldosterone treated vs. vehicle treated rats.
Project description:Exon usage analysis in in vitro cultured fibroblast cells. To assay the genome-wide splicing changes during cellular senescence, we performed splicing analysis on young and old normal fibroblasts, and in fibroblasts +/- tert (telomerase protein subunit Tert immortalized). We analyzed primary fibroblasts from 5 healthy subjects at various passages and from 2 Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome (HGPS) patients using the Affymetrix Human Exon 1.0 ST platform. Two or three technical replicates were performed.
Project description:Characterization of 68 cell lines derived from human sarcoma and 5 normal counterpart cells, including drug sensitivity testing, gene expression profiling and microRNA expression profiling have been completed. Data and tools for searching these data will be made publicly available through the NCI Developmental Therapeutics Program. The raw data (.cel files ) are provided through the GEO website. Sarcoma represents a variety of cancers at arise from cells of mesenchymal origin and have seen limited treatment advances in the last decade. Drug sensitivity data coupled with the transcription and microRNA profiles of a cohort of sarcoma cell lines may help define novel treatment paradigms. For each cell line, exon expression was measured using Genechip Human Exon 1.0 ST arrays from Affymetrix, interrogating > 1 million exon clusters, to provide comprehensive coverage of the entire genome at the exon and gene expression level. Please note that there are 2 replicates included in the study: Arrays 1 (GSM1676295) and 49 (GSM1676338) are replicates of the A-204 cell line Arrays 9 (GSM1676369) and 50 (GSM1676340) are replicates of the ES-4 cell line The sample titles represent are the cell line names (e.g. A-204, EW8 etc.). The drug screening data and details are provided in the 'NCI-Sarcoma-median-log10-IC50.csv' and 'drug_screening_readme.txt', respectively.
Project description:Human ZRANB2 mRNA is alternatively spliced to give two variants with different 3M-bM-^@M-^Y ends. Both isoforms are present in the nucleus of human cells. ZRANB2 binds to mRNA, as well as the essential splicing factors U170K and U2AF35, and the novel splicing component SFRS17A (formerly known as XE7). It has been shown to alter splicing patterns of Tra2M-NM-21 minigene primary transcripts in a dose-dependent manner. It is still unclear what role ZRANB2 plays in the regulation of alternative splicing. To determine the endogenous transcripts that are targeted by ZRANB2 at the genome wide level, we decided to perform exon microarray studies and analyzed the suitability of this method to examine splicing differences in human cells overexpressing a splicing factor. GFP-ZRANB2 construct containing isoform 2 (short form, SF) of ZRANB2 was used. This construct includes exon 1 through to alternative exon 10. Isoform 2 was chosen since it has been shown previously to affect alternative splicing of a Tra2M-NM-21 minigene. HeLa cells were transfected with GFP-ZRANB2, control vector GFP or were left untransfected. RNA was extracted using a Qiagen RNA extraction kit. Experiments were run in 5 replicates.
