Differential expression under hypoxia in zebrafish

ABSTRACT: The local background was subtracted from the fluorescent value of each spot. Feature intensities were extracted from scanned microarray images using GenePix Pro 5.1. (Axon Instruments). The images were visually inspected, and spots from low-quality areas of the array were flagged and excluded from further analysis. Spots were also excluded from analysis if both the combined fluorescent intensity for both channels was less than 1.4 times that of the local background and the pixel-by-pixel correlation coefficient of the spot was less than 0.4. The fluorescence ratios were normalized as previously described (Turton and Gant oncogene 2001website). A hierarchical clustering algorithm (M. Eisen Brown and Botstein PNAS 98 website) was applied to those genes that fulfilled all of the following conditions: they were not flagged; they were differentially expressed (equal or higher than 1.5 fold upregulated or equal or lower than 2 fold downregulated); they had p-values equal or less than 0.02; and they were consistent on at least 4 out of the 5 arrays.

Project description:The experiment was designed to enable validation of pre-processing and test algorithms. The in-house produced cDNA-array contains 44 clones: 19 clones from mice, 4 clones from Pine (involved in photosynthesis) and 21 artificial clones from the Lucidea Universal ScoreCard (Amersham Bioscienses), where each clone was printed 480 times in 48 identically designed sub-grids. The experiment contains eight arrays with identical experimental design. Total RNA from murine cell line was divided in two samples; the reference sample was labeled with the fluorophore Cy5 and spiked with the Lucidea Universal ScoreCard reference reaction, the test sample was labeled with Cy3 and spiked with the Lucidea Universal ScoreCard test reaction. The concentrations of the Lucidea reactions are known and consequently so are the true ratios between the reference and test channels. Approximately 40% of the artificial genes were differentially expressed. The particular design of the experiment makes the data suitable for validating algorithms for pre-processing and tests for identifying differentially expressed genes. - The 80.I.1 normalization algorithm : all spots flagged as not found during image analysis considered missing values (complete filtration). Print-tip MA-loess dye normalization based on the calibration clones was applied to the raw data and the B-statistic was calculated. - The 80.II.1 normalization algorithm : all spots flagged as not found during image analysis considered missing values (complete filtration). Local background correction was applied and all spots with negative values were excluded. Print-tip MA-loess dye normalization based on the calibration clones was applied to the background corrected data and the B-statistic was calculated. - The 80.II.64 normalization algorithm : all spots flagged as not found during image analysis considered missing values (complete filtration). Local background correction was applied, negative values were excluded and all spots with a value below 64 were set to 64 (censored). Print-tip MA-loess dye normalization based on the calibration clones was applied to the background corrected data and the B-statistic was calculated. - The 80.V.1 normalization algorithm : The intensities of all spots flagged not found were treated as missing values during normalization, but prior to calculating test-statistics the spot's log-ratios were set to zero. In the special case when all arrays generated not-found spots, the gene was removed from the experiment (Partial filtration). Local background correction was applied and all negative values were considered missing values. Print-tip MA-loess dye normalization based on the calibration clones was applied to the background corrected data and the B-statistic was calculated.

Project description:Berberine is a natural isoquinoline alkaloid found in Chinese medicinal herbs which is active against a variety of microbial infections. To examine the potential effects of berberine on Shigella flexneri, a whole-genome DNA microarray was constructed and transcriptome analysis of the cellular responses of S.flexneri when exposed to Berberine Chloride (BC) was performed. When cultures were grown to early exponential growth phase, drug was added. Meanwhile, DMSO solution without BC was added to control cultures to the same final concentration. At 30 min after treatment, samples were collected and washed twice with phosphate buffered saline at 25°C for subsequent RNA isolation. To prepare biological replicates for RNA isolation, each experiment was independently performed three times. After drug treatment, total RNA was extracted using SV RNA Isolation System (Promega). Reverse transcription of 20 ug RNA from each sample was performed with Superscript II system (Invitrogen) to prepare cDNA. According to the manufacturer's instructions, the cDNA was labeled with incorporation of fluorescent dyes (Amersham). Cy3-dCTP monofunctional dye was selected for control cDNA samples and Cy5-dCTP was used for drug-treated samples. Each pair of labeled cDNA was mixed and dried by vacuum centrifugation. The pairs of the labeled cDNA samples were hybridized to the DNA microarrays following the protocol available at http://www.ifr.ac.uk/safety/microarrays/. The slides were scanned by using a GenePix 4100A scanner. Fluorescent spots and local background intensities were quantified using GenePix Pro 6.0 software (Axon). Signal intensities were corrected by subtracting the local background value. The data set was filtered so that spots flagged as "not found," "bad," and "empty" were excluded from further analysis. Moreover, spots either with signal-to-noise ratio below the detection limit of 3 or containing less than 55% of pixels two standard deviations above background in both channels were discarded from the data set. Lowess normalization was performed with the fluorescent signal ratios (Cy5/Cy3) using MIDAS software (http://www.tigr.org/software/tm4) with a 0.33 smooth parameter.

Project description:We examined the antifungal activity of artemisinin against Aspergillus fumigatus (A. fumigatus), a pathogenic filamentous fungus responsible for allergic and invasive aspergillosis in humans and analyzed transcript profiles of the fungus on exposure to Artemisinin. A. fumigatus spores were cultured for 48 h and then treated with artemisinin (at MIC50 concentration) or solvent control (DMSO) for 3 h to study its transcriptomic profiles. Total RNA (7 M-BM-5g) from A. fumigatus treated with solvent control (DMSO) or artemisinin was reverse transcribed separately using fluorescein-labeled dCTP or biotin-labeled dCTP from Micromax TSA labeling kit (Cy3 or Cy5 dyes are differentially deposited to these labeled cDNAs, post-hybridization, using tyramide signal amplification (TSA) protocol). Labeled cDNAs from test and control sample were mixed in equal amount and hybridized to microarray slide(s). After hybridization, the slides were processed as per the protocol of the Micromax TSA labeling kit and scanned in both the Cy3 and the Cy5 channels with a model 4200 Axon Instruments scanner with a 10-M-BM-5m resolution. Each of the signals was converted into a resolution of 16 bits per pixel. A dye swap experiment with a biological replicate was performed to ensure the reproducibility of each gene expression pattern.TIFF images were analyzed using GenePix Pro 6.0 software. The signal intensity value of each spot was reduced by the local background level for each spot. Diagnosis and normalization of microarray data (DNMAD) program was used for print-tip loess normalization of microarray data and for merging the data from dye-swap experiments . M-values obtained from this program were converted to log ratio (test/reference) and fold modulation. Genes having less than 3 spots in 2 dye swap slides were discarded and only those having their all fold change values (from 3 or 4 replicates in 2 slides; as each target is spotted twice on the slide) within a coefficient of variation M-BM-1 0.5 were used for analysis. Gene expression ratios of M-bM-^IM-%2 (fold upregulation or downregulation) in both replicates (dye swap) were considered to be differentially expressed genes.
