Project description:Transcriptional profiling comparing Escherichia coli simultaneously exposed to tellurite and CTX with untreated control cells; Tellurite with control; CTX with control Three-condition experiment, antibacterial (tellurite; CTX or tellurite/CTX) vs. Untreated control cells. Biological replicates: 3 control, 3 toxicants exposed cells, independently grown and harvested. One replicate per array.
Project description:To gain an insight into the changes between CTX-positive and -negative strain, apart from the CTX phage deletion, we carried out microarray analysis and whole genome sequencing of both strains

Project description:To gain further molecular insight into the observed astrocyte functions, we performed RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) analysis of the differentiated Ctx-NPCs (control), Ctx-astrocytes and VM-astrocytes used in the co-culture and CM experiments. The genes that are differentially expressed (DEGs) in Ctx-astrocytes compared to differentiated Ctx-NPCs (FPKM>1, log2>1) significantly overlapped with DEGs in VM-astrocytes compared to differentiated Ctx-NPCs
Project description:The transcriptome sequencing on muscle tissue from control group (CTX) and denervated group(CTX-DeN). The PI3K/Akt pathway is involved in denervation-aggravated muscle HO.
Project description:Identification of mutants under negative selection mediated by a non-lethal concentration of CTX Two condition experiment, transposon library exposed during 3 h to CTX vs. Non-exposed control transposon library (paralelly growing). Biological replicates: 3 control, 3 antibiotic exposed cells, independently grown and harvested. One replicate per array.
Project description:Ciguatoxins (CTX) are polyether neurotoxins responsible for ciguatera, the most common fish-borne food poisoning in humans. This study characterizes the global transcriptional response of mouse liver to a symptomatic dose (0.26 ng/g) of the highly potent Pacific ciguatoxin-1 (P-CTX-1). At 1 h post exposure 2.4% of features on a 44K whole genome array were differentially expressed (p ≤ 0.0001), increasing to 5.2% at 4 h and decreasing to 1.4% by 24 h post-CTX exposure. Early gene expression was likely influenced prominently by an acute 4 °C decline in core body temperature by 1 h, which resolved by 8 h following exposure. Cytochrome P450s were of particular interest due to their role in xenobiotic metabolism. Twenty-seven genes, mostly members of Cyp2 and Cyp4 families, showed significant changes in expression. Many Cyps underwent an initial down-regulation at 1 h but were quickly and strongly up-regulated at 4 and 24 h post exposure. In addition to Cyps, increases in several glutathione S-transferases were observed, an indication that both phase I and phase II metabolic reactions are involved in the hepatic response to CTX in mice.

Project description:Utilizing glycerol and cardiotoxin (CTX) injections in the tibialis anterior muscles of M. musculus provides models of skeletal muscle damages followed by skeletal muscle regeneration. In particular, glycerol-induced muscle regeneration is known to be associated with ectopic adipogenesis. We characterized genome-wide expression profiles of tibialis anterior muscles from wild-type mice injured by either glycerol or CTX injection. Our goal was to detect gene expression changes during the time course of glycerol-induced and CTX-induced muscle regeneration models, that can lead to ectopic adipocyte accumulation.

Our goal was to detect gene expression changes during the time course of glycerol-induced and CTX-induced muscle regeneration models, that can lead to ectopic adipocyte accumulation. Tibialis anterior muscle of 12 week old wildtype C57BL/6J male mice injected i.m with either glycerol or CTX were collected 3, 7, 14 or 21 days after injection. 6 biological replicates were used for each time points. Please note that a few replicate samples did not pass QC test, thus, were removed from the submission. Unchallenged tibialis anterior muscles from a group of 5 wildtype C57BL/6J mice were also as a control. Total RNA was extracted, QCed and hybridized to Affymetrix microarrays.
