Project description:We profiled small RNAs obtained from B. cinerea-infected Arabidopsis rosette leaves at four different time points after inoculation. Examination of small RNA profiles of B. cinerea-infected Arabidopsis rosette leaves over a time course.
Project description:Oxidative stress, resulting from an imbalance in the accumulation and removal of reactive oxygen species such as hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), is a challenge faced by all aerobic organisms. In plants, exposure to various abiotic and biotic stresses results in accumulation of H2O2 and oxidative stress. Increasing evidence indicates that H2O2 functions as a stress signal in plants, mediating adaptive responses to various stresses. To analyze cellular responses to H2O2, we have undertaken a large-scale analysis of the Arabidopsis transcriptome during oxidative stress. Using cDNA microarray technology, we identified 175 non-redundant expressed sequence tags that are regulated by H2O2. Of these, 113 are induced and 62 are repressed by H2O2. A substantial proportion of these expressed sequence tags have predicted functions in cell rescue and defense processes. RNA-blot analyses of selected genes were used to verify the microarray data and extend them to demonstrate that other stresses such as wilting, UV irradiation, and elicitor challenge also induce the expression of many of these genes, both independently of, and, in some cases, via H2O2. replicate_design

Project description:rs04-10_oxydative--stress - time course h2o2 treatment - Effect of an hydrogen peroxide treatment on gene regulation in arabidopsis cells - Arabidopsis cells (5 days after subculturing) were cultured at 21degreeC, 8 h photoperiod under agitation. H2O2 2.5 uM was added to cells 5 days after subculturing and 2 hours after the beginning of the light period. Treated and control cells were collected 15 min, 1 h, 5 h and 12 h after treatment. Keywords: treated vs untreated comparison
Project description:Oxidative stress has long been postulated to play an essential role in aging mechanisms, and numerous forms of molecular damage associated with oxidative stress have been well documented. However, the extent to which changes in gene expression in direct response to oxidative stress are related to actual cellular aging, senescence, and age-related functional decline remains unclear. We used microarrays to detail H2O2-induced oxidative stress and resulting gene expression alterations in prostate epithelial cells in vitro. While a broad range of significant changes observed in the expression of non-coding transcripts implicated in senescence-related responses, we also note an overrepresentation of gene-splicing events among differentially expressed protein-coding genes induced by H2O2
Project description:Little is known about the global transcriptional program underlying T-cell activation and T-cell response to oxidative stress. Using DNA microarrays and Q-RT-PCR, we examined the transcriptional profile of human T-cell activation and T-cell response to H2O2 stress. The goal of this study was to identify genes involved in the various facets of human T-cell activation and T-cell response to H2O2 stress. Keywords: time course
Project description:We analyzed ~27nt small RNAs from Entamoeba histolytica trophozoites in basal conditions and after heat shock or oxidative stress E. histolytica trophozoites were treated with 1mM H2O2 for 1hr, or heat shocked at 42°C for 1hr and RNA was isolated and small RNA populations were compared to small RNA populations from untreated trophozoites
