Project description:These ChIP-seq analyses identified binding DNAs of ONEUCT2 in Neuro-2a (mouse neuroblastoma)cells. We overexpressed OC2ΔHOX (a gain-of-function mutant) in Neuro-2a cells, and infected the cells with HSV-1 at 40 hours post transfection. Samples infected for 5 hours were sequenced by ChIP for binding DNAs of the OC2 mutant in Neuro-2a cells.
Project description:This is a part of the study that shows that a host gene,ONECUT2( OC2), promotes herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) genome accessibility. These ATAC analyses are for viral and host genome accessibility in Neuro-2a cells. Neuro-2a cells were transfected with pOC2△HOX2 and pcDNA plasmids for 42 hours then infected with herpes simple virus1 for 2 hours.

These RNA-seq analyses viral genes transcription in Neuro-2a cells. Neuro-2a cells were transfected with pOC2△HOX2 and pcDNA plasmids for 42 hours then infected with herpes simple virus1 for 5 hours.
Project description:The poorly conserved N-terminal half of TATA binding protein (TBP) harbours a polyglutamine stretch of 29 to 42 in normal individuals. Expansion of this stretch leading to more than 42 is associated with a neurodegenerative disorder spinocerebellar ataxia 17 (SCA17). This study compares the espression profile of mouse neuro 2a cells expressing a vector control and TBP varient with 59 polyglutamines known to form intra nuclear aggregates. Keywords: Neuro 2a, SCA17, TBP, polyglutamine
Project description:Anandamide, or N-arachidonoylethanolamine (AEA), is a signaling lipid that modulates neurotransmitter release via activation of the cannabinoid receptor type 1 (CB1R) in the brain. Termination of anandamide signaling is thought to be mediated via a facilitated cellular reuptake process utilizing an unknown transporter protein. Recently, WOBE437 has been reported as a novel, natural product-based inhibitor of AEA reuptake that is active in cellular and in vivo models. To profile its target interaction landscape, we synthesized pac-WOBE, a photoactivatable probe derivative of WOBE437, and performed chemical proteomics in mouse neuroblastoma Neuro-2a cells. Surprisingly, WOBE437, but not OMDM-1, was found to increase AEA uptake in Neuro-2a cells. In line, WOBE437 reduced cellular levels of AEA and related N-acylethanolamines (NAEs). Using pac-WOBE, we identified saccharopine dehydrogenase-like oxidoreductase (SCCPDH), vesicle amine transport 1 (VAT1) and ferrochelatase (FECH) as WOBE437-interacting proteins in Neuro-2a cells
Project description:Circular RNAs (circRNAs) and microRNAs (miRNAs) participate in regulating many biological processes. However, their roles in PrV-II pathogenicity are largely unknown. Here, we analyzed the expression profile of circRNAs and miRNAs in the PrV-DX, a wild-type (WT) strain of PRV-II, and its attenuated gE-TK- PRV-DX infected cells by high-throughput sequencing.
Project description:This is a part of the study that shows that a host microRNA, miR-138, represses herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) gene expression through both viral and host targets. These PAR-CLIP analyses identified viral and host targets of miR-138 in Neuro-2a (mouse neuroblastoma) and 293T (human embryonic kidney) cells. We constructed two cell lines derived from Neuro-2a cells, one overexpressing miR-138 (N2A138) and one antagonizing miR-138 (N2Aanti138). We also constructed two cell lines derived from 293T cells, one overexpressing miR-138 (293T138) and one control cells (293Tcontrol). Uninfected N2A138 and N2Aanti138 were compared by PAR-CLIP for host targets in Neuro-2A cells. 293T138 and 293Tcontrol cells infected for 4 and 8 hours were compared by PAR-CLIP for HSV-1 targets in 293T cells. 293T138 and 293Tcontrol cells infected for 4 hours were also compared for host targets in 293T cells.
Project description:This project studies a compound, which induces potent neuronal differentiation, by using iTRAQ-based proteomic analysis in Neuro-2a progenitor cells.
Project description:Growth differentiation factor 11 (GDF11), is one of the members of transforming growth factor β (TGFβ) superfamily. We set out to unequivocally reveal the effect of endogenous GDF11 on biological process by adopting CRISPR/Cas9 gene knockout strategy to specifically delete GDF11 gene in Neuro-2a cells. We analyze mRNA profiles of differentially genes in wild type (WT) and GDF11 knockout (GDF11-/-) Neuro-2a cells by using RNA-seq technology. The RNA-seq data reported here provide a fundamental materials and evidence for investigations of biological function of GDF11.
