Project description:To identify the changes in gene expression profile caused by mechanical stress in the ligamentum flavum, we performed resection of the L3-4 supraspinal muscle and L2-3, L4-5 posterolateral fusion with instrumentation to concentrate the mechanical stress with segmental instability at the L3-4 level. The control group underwent only surgical exposure as a sham operation. Both groups of rabbits were sacrificed at 16 weeks after surgery and total RNA were extracted from ligamentum flavum.

Project description:This microarray serie represents the complete gene expression study of bacteriophage BFK 20 during the infection of its host Brevibacterium flavum CCM 251. Keywords: time course
Project description:Purpose:The goals of this study are to MS (mechanical stress) how to change the cellular pathway of hLFSCs (human ligament flavum stem cells). Methods: Extract hLFSCs from the ligament flavum of patients.Treat the cells with and without (in control)MS.Total RNA was extracted from cells with Tripure Isolation Reagent.Subsequently, RNA was purified through rRNA depletion and then subjected to cDNA synthesis and RNA amplification. Next, random hexamer primer cDNA libraries were evaluated using an Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer (Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, CA, USA) and sequenced on Illumina Hiseq 4000 sequencing platform (Illumina, San Diego, California, USA) following the manufacturer’s instructions for paired-end 150 bp reads (Lifegenes, Shanghai, China).
Project description:Using 21K spruce microarray (that contains 21.8 thousand unique transcripts) we performed analysis of the transcriptome response of interior spruce (Picea glauca x engelmannii) inoculated with the spruce beetle (Dendroctonus rufipennis) vectored blue stain fungal pathogen Leptographium abietinum or treated with wounding. This microarray analysis revealed large transcriptome reorganization with close to 2000 transcripts (10% of the studied transcriptome) differentially expressed within two weeks of treatment, with the wounding response affecting close to 5% of the interior spruce transcriptome. RNA was isolated from the bark of interior spruce inoculated with Leptographium abietinum, treated with wounding, or untreated control for three time points (6h, 2days and 2 weeks). Three independent biological replicates were included for each treatment and each time point. Three hybridizations were performed for each comparison of different treatments (fungal, wounding, control) within each time point (6 hours, 2 days, 2 weeks) and one hybridization was performed for the comparison of the same treatments between time points (total 36 hybridizations/slides).
