Project description:This SuperSeries is composed of the following subset Series: GSE36242: Transcriptomic response to benzo[a]pyrene treatment in HepG2 cells (RNA-Seq) GSE36243: Transcriptomic response to benzo[a]pyrene treatment in HepG2 cells (Affymetrix) Refer to individual Series
Project description:In order to evaluate the identification of genes and pathways, the global gene expression profiles were assessed in response to amorphous Silica nanoparticles on Human hepatoma (HepG2) cells. We performed whole genome DNA microarray experiments using HepG2 cells exposed to for 24h. We used whole genome microarrays to screen for global changed in HepG2 transcription profiles and with subsequent quantitative analysis conducted on selected genes. 24h SiO2-NP (100 mg/L) exposed HepG2 cells were used for total RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays.
Project description:In the exon array data set, gene level analysis was performed on HepG2 cells exposed to atorvastatin. No genes were found to be statistically significantly differentially expressed upon atorvastatin treatment. 3 control and 3 atorvastatin treated HepG2 samples were analysed. Genes with an FDRM-bM-^IM-$5% after Benjamini-Hochberg correction was considered as differentially expressed.
Project description:Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are membrane-enclosed nanoparticles containing specific repertoires of genetic material. In mammals, EVs can mediate the horizontal transfer of various cargos and signaling molecules, notably miRNA and mRNA species. Whether this form of intercellular communication prevails in other metazoans remains unclear. Here, we report the first parallel comparative morphologic and transcriptomic characterization of EVs from Drosophila and human cellular models. Electronic microscopy revealed that Drosophila, like human cells release exosome-like EVs with diameter ranging from 30 to 200 nm, which contain complex populations of transcripts. RNA-seq identified abundant ribosomal RNA pseudogenes and retrotransposons in human and Drosophila EVs. Vault RNAs and Y RNAs abounded in human samples, whereas small nucleolar RNAs involved in pseudouridylation were most prevalent in Drosophila EVs. Numerous mRNAs were identified, largely consisting of exonic sequences displaying full-length read coverage and enriched for translation and electronic transport chain functions. By analogy with human systems, these extensive similarities suggest that EVs could also enable RNA-mediated intercellular communication in Drosophila. We performed RNA-seq on extracellular vesicles purified from of human and Drosophila cell line cultures. S2R+ and D17 Drosophila EVs were analyzed, along with human A431 and HepG2 EVs. No ribosomal RNA depletion or polyA selection was performed on EV samples. For comparative analyses, we also analyzed total cellular RNA from Drosophila D17 and human HepG2. Ribodepletion was performed on cellular samples.
Project description:HepG2 cells (human liver hepatocarcinoma) were exposed for 6 different time points (6,12,18,24,36 and 48h) to Benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) in duplicate.
Project description:In order to evaluate the identification of genes and pathways, the global gene expression profiles were assessed in response to GO and rGO on Human hepatoma (HepG2) cells. We performed whole genome DNA microarray experiments using HepG2 cells exposed to GO and rGO for 24h. We used whole genome microarrays to screen for global changed in HepG2 transcription profiles and with subsequent quantitative analysis conducted on selected genes. 24h GO and rGO exposed HepG2 cells were used for total RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays.
Project description:HepG2 cells were exposed for 24 hours to the IC20 (72hr MTT) dose of various pesticides and related compounds selected from the EPA Toxcast phase 1 set. This is the first part of two batches of experiments, these experiments were used as a training set and the second batch as a validation set.
