Project description:Transcriptional profiling of 3D-retinas differentiated from mouse iPS cells comparing vehicle control- with 4-OHT-treated. 4-OHT is an inverse agonist of estrogen-related receptor beta (ERRβ), a rod-enriched transcription factor responsible for maintenance of rod photoreceptor cells and the treatment induces photoreceptor specific cell death in the 3D-retinas. Goal was to understand the mechanism of 4-OHT-induced degeneration of photoreceptor cells in the 3D-retinas. 4-OHT-induced gene expression in the 3D-retinas was measured at DD 26 when the photoreceptor cells were degenerated. Two-condition experiment, vehicle control- vs. 5 µM 4-OHT-treated 3D-retinas. Biological replicates: each sample has 24 3D-retinas and 1 replicate.
Project description:Transcriptional profiling of 3D-retinas differentiated from mouse iPS cells comparing vehicle control with 4-OHT-treated w/o supplements. 4-OHT is an inverse agonist of estrogen-related receptor beta (ERRβ), a rod-enriched transcription factor responsible for maintenance of rod photoreceptor cells and the treatment induces photoreceptor specific cell death in the 3D-retinas. Goal was to understand the mechanism of protective effects of representative ophthalmic supplements for treating the photoreceptor degeneration. 4-OHT w/o supplements-induced gene expression in the 3D-retinas was measured at DD 25 when the photoreceptor cells started to be degenerated. Four-condition experiment, vehicle control- vs. 5 µM 4-OHT- vs. 5 µM 4-OHT with 400 µM vitamin E- vs. 5 µM 4-OHT with 200 nM lutein-treated 3D-retinas. Biological replicates: each sample has 24 3D-retinas and 1replicate.

Project description:Preclinical cancer drug discovery efforts have employed two-dimensional (2D)-cell-based assay models, which fail to forecast in vivo efficacy and contribute to a lower success rates of clinical approval. Three-dimensional (3D) cell culture models are recently expected to bridge the gap between 2D and in vivo models. We have developed novel 3D culture method that improves the growth of spheroid-forming cancer cells under anchorage-independent condition by leveraging a feature of FP001. Gene microarrays were used to observe the global gene expression in A549 cells cultured with normal adhesion plate (2D, control) or with low adhesion plate (+FP001) and identified distinct classes of up or down-regulated genes. A549 cells were cultured for 5 days in three different conditions as follows. (1) Normal attachment plates with normal medium (as control), (2) low-attachment plates with normal medium, (3) low-attachment plates with FP001 containing medium. Each sample was collected three times.
