Project description:Characterization of the genomic distribution of RAIN in thyroid cancer. RAIN was pulled-down using two sets of 3’ BiotinTEG probes (EVEN and ODD). Subsequently, the DNA bound by RAIN was sequenced to assess its biding genome wide.
Project description:Acid rain, as a worldwide environmental issue, can cause serious damage to plants. In this study, we provided the first case study on the systematic responses of arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) Heynh.) to simulated acid rain (SiAR) by transcriptome approach. In this dataset, we include the expression data obtained from Arabidopsis with simulated acid rain treatments for 68 hr, and contrasting with control group in the same time. Totally, 439 differetal expression genes were obtained in our stduy. Form them, 13 genes which dramatically changed their expression were found related to S metabolism.
Project description:The aim of this experiment was to identify the RUNX2- and RAIN-dependent transcriptional program in thyroid cancer. TPC1 and MDA-T41 cell line were infected with dCas9-KRAB and sgRNA targeting the gene of interest (RAIN or RUNX2 respectively) or a non-targeting (NT) sgRNA as control. RNA was collected 10 days after infection and changes in gene expression were evaluated by total RNA-seq.
Project description:The leaf transcriptome of the nickel hyperaccumulator Psychotria gabriellae (Rubiaceae) endemic from New Caledonia was compared to the closely related non-accumulator Psychotria semperflorens, living in sympatry with P. gabriellae in rain forest on serpentine soil, to identity differentially expressed genes potentially involved in Ni hyperaccumulation.
Project description:Pao extract is an herbal preparation of the bark of an amazonian rain forest tree,Pao Pereira (Geissospermum vellosii),which could inhibit Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).Characterizing the molecular alterations of BPH1 and WPMY-1 cells treated with PAO is important for understanding the molecular mechanisms of PAO inhibiting BPH. We used microarrays to detail the RNA expression.
Project description:Mitochondrial rRNAs play important roles in regulating mtDNA-encoded gene expression and energy metabolism subsequently. However, the proteins that regulate mitochondrial 16S rRNA processing remain poorly understood. Herein, we generated adipose-specific Wbscr16-/- mice and cells, both of which exhibited dramatic mitochondrial changes. Subsequently, WBSCR16 was identified as a 16S rRNA-binding protein essential for the cleavage of 16S rRNA-mt-tRNALeu, facilitating 16S rRNA processing and mitochondrial ribosome assembly. Additionally, WBSCR16 recruited RNase P subunit MRPP3 to nascent 16S rRNA and assisted in this specific cleavage. Furthermore, evidence showed that adipose-specific Wbscr16 ablation promotes energy wasting via lipid preference in brown adipose tissue, leading to excess energy expenditure and resistance to obesity. In contrast, overexpression of WBSCR16 upregulated 16S rRNA processing and induced a preference for glucose utilization in both transgenic mouse models and cultured cells. These findings suggest that WBSCR16 plays essential roles in mitochondrial 16S rRNA processing in mammals, and is the key mitochondrial protein to balance glucose and lipid metabolism.
Project description:Analysis of COVID-19 hospitalized patients, with different kind of symptoms, by human rectal swabs collection and 16S sequencing approach.
Project description:Analysis of breast cancer survivors' gut microbiota after lifestyle intervention, during the COVID-19 lockdown, by 16S sequencing of fecal samples.
