Project description:The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans has evolutionarily conserved EV signaling pathways. In this study, we apply a recently published method for high specificity purification of EVs from C. elegans to carry out target-independent proteomic and RNA analysis of EVs from C. elegans. Our experiments uncovered diverse coding and non-coding RNA transcripts as well as protein cargo types commonly found in human EVs.
Project description:we used Caenorhabditis elegans as a model organism, to investigate the effect of mannose on the lifespan. Using nematode RNAi methods, RT-PCR, RNA-seq and other experimental method, we explored the possible mechanism for how mannose change the lifespan of Caenorhabditis elegans.
