Project description:Transcriptional profiling of Arabidopsis rossette leaves comparing WT Col-0 with a transgenic lines overexpressing AhNF-YC gene from Amaranthus hypochondriacus in three different conditions.
Project description:To identify novel therapeutic opportunities for patients with acquired resistance to endocrine treatments in breast cancer, we applied high-throughput screening to explore currently marketed drugs. The Ec50 values were determined for MCF7 and LTED cell lines to identify the compounds showing higher inhibition of LTED cells. The best compound was YC-1 and gene microarray studies were done in vitro for mechanistic exploration. MCF7 and LTED cells were treated with YC-1 for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays.
Project description:The transplanted mature hepatocytes were found to dedifferentiate into hepatic progenitor cells (HPCs), which proliferate and then convert back to mature state at the completion of liver repopulation. The combination of two small molecules Y-27632 (Y, Rock inhibitor) and CHIR99021 (C, Wnt agonist) could convert mouse primary hepatocytes into HPCs, which could be passaged for more than 30 passages in vitro. Moreover, YC could stimulate the proliferation of transplanted hepatocytes in Fah-/- liver by promoting the conversion into HPCs. Netarsudil (N) and LY2090314 (L), two clinically used drugs which target the same pathways as YC, could also promote hepatocytes proliferation in vitro and in vivo, by facilitating HPC conversion.
Project description:Transcriptional profiling of Arabidopsis rossette leaves comparing WT Col-0 with a transgenic lines overexpressing AhNF-YC gene from Amaranthus hypochondriacus in three different conditions. Three-condition experiment WT vs AhNF-YC OE plant leaves. The analyzed conditions were: normal growth conditions, water stress for 5 days and 24 hrs of recovery after normal watering was reestablished to 8-day water stressed plants.
