Project description:Transcriptional profiling of the preingression epiblast versus lateral epiblast, of preingression epiblast from control embryos treated with the DMSO carrier vehicle (0.5%) versus embryos treated with SU5402, U0126 or LY294002. Embryos were stages 5-6 at time of tissue isolation. The preingression epiblast (E2 region) is the region of epiblast just lateral to the primitive streak. Lateral epiblast is the E3 region. Two condition experiment. Samples for each condition isolated from at least 30 embryos.

Two condition experiment. Samples for each condition isolated from at least 30 embryos. The experiments used isolated preingression epiblast, which is defined as the region of epiblast adjacent to the primitive streak that will ingress through the primitive streak. Preingression epiblast was isolated by microdissection using tungsten needles from control embryos or embryos treated with SU5402, U0126 or LY294002.
Project description:Epiblast stem cells (EpiSCs) were derived from the epiblast or the ectoderm (epi/ect) of pre-gastrula stage to late-bud stage mouse embryos. To identify if the EpiSCs retain any original stage specific characteristics or which developmental stage of epi/ect they most closely related to, we performed microarray analysis to compare the gene expression profile of multiple EpiSC lines with that of epi/ect of 7 different stages.
Project description:We compared the transcriptomes of Amphioxus (Branchiostoma lanceolatum) control and SU5402 treated embryos to define putative FGF signalling pathway target genes during somitogenesis. Embryos were treated with 50µM of SU5402 from 5.5hpf to 8.5hpf, 11.5hpf, and 14.5hpf or from 15hpf to 18hpf, 21hpf, 24hpf. Total RNA was extracted from control and treated embryos.
Project description:Epiblast stem cells (EpiSCs) were derived from the epiblast or the ectoderm (epi/ect) of pre-gastrula stage to late-bud stage mouse embryos. To identify if the EpiSCs retain any original stage specific characteristics or which developmental stage of epi/ect they most closely related to, we performed microarray analysis to compare the gene expression profile of multiple EpiSC lines with that of epi/ect of 7 different stages. Eighteen EpiSC lines established from R1-129 embryos of different stages and 1 line (EpiSC9) imported were harvested in triplicate cultured separately for 3 days. The * marks the subline thawed at a different time and harvested but originated from the same embryo. EpiSC9_T is an RNA sample provided by Dr Tesar. ESCs, iPSCs and MEFs were prepared accordingly. For the epiblast samples, in order to avoid the averaging effect by pooling samples, we linearly amplified the RNA starting from a single epiblast or ectoderm.
Project description:The Del-Mar 14K chip was used to interrogate differential expression of transcripts in the white isthmus (WI) compared with the adjacent magnum (Mg) and uterine (Ut) segments of the hen oviduct. Differential expression of genes common to both comparisons (WI/Mg and WI/Ut) was detected for 204 annotated proteins. Of these, 58 genes were overexpressed in both WI/Mg and WI/Ut, and are therefore considered to be the most interesting candidates for WI - specific functions. Additionally, general analysis revealed 135 clones hybridizing to overexpressed transcripts (WI/Mg + WI/Ut), and corresponding to 102 NCBI annotatated non-redundant Gallus gallus gene ID~s. This combined analysis revealed that structural proteins highly over-expressed in white isthmus were collagen X (COL10A1), Fibrillin (FBN1) and Cysteine Rich Eggshell Membrane Protein (CREMP). In addition, genes encoding collagen-processing enzymes were over-expressed, as were proteins known to regulate disulfide cross-linking, suggesting that coordinated upregulation of gene networks in the white isthmus is associated with eggshell membrane fibre formation. IPA interactome analysis reinforces the key role of the estrogen receptor and SMAD3 in mediating gene regulation during eggshell membrane synthesis. These results will assist with development of selection strategies to improve eggshell quality and food safety of the table egg. Keywords: Laying hen, eggshell, oviduct, Isthmus expression, cDNA microarray, indirect cDNA labelling, Alexa Fluor dyes Keywords: Expression profiling by array A balanced block hybridization design (Dye switch) was used where half of the samples were labelled with AlexaM-BM-. 555 fluorescent dye and the other half with AlexaM-BM-. 647. A total of 16 microarray slides were used for hybridization to 32 samples that correspond to four tissue contrast (White isthmus versus magnum and uterus versus white isthmus).
Project description:We report the transcriptomes of 10 different chicken (Gallus gallus) cell/tissue types. The goal of this project was to determine similarities and differences between different cell/tissue types, with respect to protein coding genes, lncRNA, isoform counts, and differential gene expression. We provide raw data and bigWig files for UCSC visualization. The findings described here will be useful towards a complete annotation of chicken tissue and cellular transcriptomes.
