Project description:Transcriptional profiling of WT MEFs or IRE1α-/- MEFs treated with 1μM thapsigargin for 12hrs compared with their corresponding non-treated cells.
Project description:INS1-EGFP-L10a stable cell lines were induced with Doxycycline (Dox) for 24 hours, then either untreated or treated for 30 minutes with 1uM Thapsigargin to induce ER stress. Total RNA was purified with Trizol, and RIP RNA samples were extracted by immunoaffinity purification using an EGFP antibody We aimed to determine which genes are enriched under ER stress at the polyribosomal level. To do this we compared expression profiles of Total RNA with and without ER stress, and Immunoaffinity purified RNA (RIP) with and without ER stress. Microarray results of INS-1 EGFP-L10a cells either untreated or treated with 1uM Thapsigargin (Tg) in triplicate. Both Total RNA and RNA isolated from ribosomal Immunoprecipitation (RIP) When unfolded proteins accumulate to irremediably high levels within the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), intracellular signaling pathways called the unfolded protein response (UPR) become hyperactivated to cause programmed cell death. We discovered that thioredoxin-interacting protein (TXNIP) is a critical node in this M-bM-^@M-^\Terminal UPRM-bM-^@M-^]. TXNIP becomes rapidly induced by hyperactivated IRE1a, an ER bifunctional kinase/endoribonuclease (RNase). IRE1a controls TXNIP mRNA stability by reducing levels of a TXNIP destabilizing micro-RNA, miR-17. In turn, elevated TXNIP protein activates the NLRP3 inflammasome, causing Caspase-1 cleavage and interleukin 1b (IL-1b) secretion. Txnip gene deletion reduces pancreatic b-cell death during ER stress, and suppresses diabetes caused by proinsulin misfolding in the Akita mouse. Finally, small molecule IRE1a RNase inhibitors suppress TXNIP production to block IL-1b secretion. In summary, the IRE1a-TXNIP pathway is used in the terminal UPR to promote sterile inflammation and programmed cell death, and may be targeted to develop new treatments for degenerative diseases driven by ER stress. There are 12 samples total all in INS-1 EGFP L10a cells- 3 untreated total RNA (reference sample), 3 treated with 1uM Tg 30 min total RNA, 3 untreated RIP RNA (reference sample), 3 treated with 1uM for 30 min RIP RNA

Project description:Transcriptional profiling of Arabidopsis comparing 1μM 3OC6-HSL-treated Arabidopsis wild-type Col-0 with control untreated Col-0. A transcriptomic analysis for Arabidopsis responses to bacterial quorum sensing molecule N-3oxo-hexanoyl-homoserine lactone (3OC6-HSL).
Project description:The aim of the study was to gain mechanistic insights of the protective effect of forskolin on thapsigargin-induced podocyte death by assessing, analyzing and comparing the respective gene expression profiles.
Project description:Using RNA-seq to sequence the transcriptomes of β-cat lox(ex3) (Ctrl) and β-cat lox(ex3);Nex-Cre (β-cat Ovp) mice, we did not find significant change in the expression level of classical Wnt target genes.
Project description:GFP and Flpo MEFs are mixed at 1:1 ratio and cultured on the same dish. Cells are treated with 10nM Thapsigargin for 16hr. Cells were then trypsinized and sent for scRNA sequencing.
