Project description:We have used chromatin immune-precipitation with parallel sequencing (ChIP-Seq) technology to identify genome-wide p53 binding in human lymphoblastoid cell lines treated withionizing radiation ChIP-Seq analysis of p53 binding sites in human lymphoblastoid cells treated with ionizing radiation or vehicle
Project description:Thyroid gland is among the most sensitive organs to ionizing radiation. Whether low-dose radiation-induced papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) differs from sporadic PTC is yet unknown. We used microarrays to identify gene signature of radiation-induced papillary thyroid carcinomas
Project description:Low-dose radiation refers to exposure to ionizing radiation at levels that are generally considered safe and not expected to cause immediate health effects. However, the effects of low-dose radiation are still not fully understood and research in this area is ongoing. In this study, we investigated changes in gene expression in diabetic human aortic endothelial cells (T2D-HAECs) derived from type 2 diabetes patients. To this end, we used RNA-seq to profile the transcriptomes of cells exposed to varying doses of low-dose radiation (0.1Gy, 0.5Gy, and 2.0Gy) and compared them to a control group with no radiation exposure. Differentially expressed genes and enriched pathways were identified using the DESeq2 and gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) methods, respectively. The data generated in this study are publicly available through the gene expression omnibus (GEO) database. This study provides a valuable resource for studying the effects of low-dose radiation on T2D-HAECs and can contribute to a better understanding of the potential human health risks associated with low-dose radiation exposure.
Project description:Human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) present a novel platform for in vitro investigation of the early embryonic cellular response to ionizing radiation. Thus far, no study has analyzed the genome-wide transcriptional response to ionizing radiation in hESCs. In this study, we use Agilent microarrays to analyze the global gene expression changes in H9 hESCs after low (0.4 Gy), medium (2 Gy), and high (4 Gy) dose irradiation.
