Project description:The goal of this study was to investigate the impact of 10 Gy ionizing radiation (IR) and/or SRSF1 depletion on isoform switching in the triple-negative breast cancer cell line, MDA-MB-231.
Project description:The goal of the study is to identify differentially expressed isoforms in response to SRSF1 knockdown and/or ionizing radiation in HEK293T cells
Project description:RNA-seq was performed on H1299 cells that stably knocking down SRSF1 or control, as well as these cells that were treated with ionizing radiation, in order to profile the alternative splicing events that were regulated by SRSF1 upon ionizing radiation.
Project description:gDNA from patient samples with multiple basal cell carcinomas and possible exposure to ionizing radiation was hybridized Vs. GM12878 gDNA to assess CNAs. We aimed to find a possible common aberration pattern related to ionizing radiation or a rare metastasis.
Project description:Genome-wide expression analysis comparison with and without ionizing radiation in p53 mutant and wild type Drosophila larvae Genome-wide expression analysis comparison with and without ionizing radiation in p53 mutant (p53^5A-1-4) and wild type (y^1 w^1118) Drosophila third instar larvae. 4000R of X-rays used in IR-treated Drosophila. Analyzed 2hr and 18hr after exposure with age-matched larvae in non-treated controls.
Project description:This project explored the relationship between ionizing radiation and antigen presentation using both proteomic and immunopeptidomics methodologies. We investigated the radiation-specific changes which occur in the colorectal tumor cell proteome associated with changes in dose and time after irradiation. We used this data to observe the changes in key regulators and effector proteins of the antigen processing and presentation machinery. Furthermore, a parallel immunopeptidomics analysis enabled a peptide-level assessment of antigen presentation to correlate changes observed in the proteome thereby defining a radiation-specific peptide repertoire. A nuanced relationship between protein expression and antigen presentation was observed where radiation-induced changes in proteins do not always correlate with increased presentation of associated peptides. Furthermore, a neoantigen which increases in the context of radiation was characterised. This study provides new insights into how radiation enhances antigen processing and presentation that could be suitable for the development of combinatorial therapies.
Project description:The mammalian brain is especially sensitive to ionizing radiation during development, as shown by the increased occurrence of mental retardation and small head size in children who were in utero exposed to ionizing radiation after the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. These effects of prenatal irradiation can be mimicked by irradiation of mouse embryos during the organogenesis period. In order to better understand the early effects of ionizing radiation on the embryonic brain and immature neurons, we performed a microarray analysis on brains from mice irradiated with different doses at E11 and E14, as well as primary cortical neuron cultures after 14 h in vitro. RNA was extracted at either 2 h (brains) or 6 h (neurons) post-irradiation.
