Project description:The two-stage cell transformation assay is an in vitro model cell culture system to identify the ability of chemicals to act as initiators or promoters of cell transforma- tion and also to study the cellular and molecular mechanisms of chemically induced morphological and neoplastic cell transformation. The global gene expression profiles of 3- methylcholanthrene (MCA)+12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13- acetate (TPA)-transformed C3H/10T1/2 cells are not known. Therefore, we have investigated the global transcriptional profile of MCA+TPA-transformed C3H10T1/2 cells using an 8×60 k probe microarray. The study revealed a differential regulation of pathways and gene expressions. Multifold dysregulation was seen in pathways of cancer, phagosomal activity, and tumor cell microenvironment information pro- cessing systems, notably the neuroactive ligand–receptor in- teraction, actin cytoskeleton regulation, tight junction, axon guidance, and cell adhesion molecules. The genes FGF1, EIF4E1B, MAGI1,and GRIA3 showed upregulation; these encoded the pluripotent fibroblast growth factor, the transla- tion initiation factor, the tight junction scaffolding protein, and the antiapoptotic as well as the enhancer of proliferation and migration, respectively. The genes CXCL7/CXCL5/CXCL12, H2DMB1,and HSPA1A showed downregulation; these encoded the chemotactic agent protein, the protein involved

One- color microarray processing was performed. Acceptable qual- ity of the total RNA sample was ascertained by its electropho- resis trace and integrity assay using a Bioanalyzer which profiled RNA by RIN interpretation. The T7 promoter-based linear amplification was used to generate labeled complemen- tary RNA to amplify target material and incorporate cyanine 3-labeled CTP using AgilentM-bM-^@M-^Ys low-input RNA linear amplifi- cation kit one color (cat no. 5188-5339). The fluorescence- labeled cRNA samples were hybridized onto a Genotypic- designed Custom Whole Genome Mouse 8x60k slide (AMADID no. 26986) in duplicate using AgilentM-bM-^@M-^Ysinsitu hybridization kit (no. 5184-3568). Hybridization was carried out in AgilentM-bM-^@M-^Ys Surehyb Chambers at 65M-BM-0C for 16 h. The hybridized slides were washed using Agilent Gene Expression wash buffers (part no. 5188-5327). Fluorescence data were collected using an Agilent Microarray Scanner (G2567AA) and analyzed with program Gene Spring GX, version 11.5 (Agilent Technologies, Bangalore, India). Significantly dysregulated genes were identified. Statistical t test p value was calculated based on volcano plot using Gene spring GX Software.

Project description:Growing evidence indicates that PPARγ agonists, such as rosiglitazone (RSG,), induce adipose mitochondrial biogenesis. Using microarrays, we systematically analyzed nucleus-encoded mitochondrial gene expression in two common murine adipocyte models, 3T3 L1 and C3H/10T1/2 adipocytes, and aimed to further establish the direct role of RSG, and capture the temporal changes in mitochondrial gene transcription during this process. Experiment Overall Design: Fully differentiated 3T3 L1 and C3H/10T1/2 adipocytes were treated with RSG, or DMSO vehicle for 1, 2, 4, 7, 24, and 48 hrs, and total RNA was extracted for microarray analysis.
Project description:In this study, we used C3H/10T1/2 cells, a well known model of myogenic conversion, to study the effect of Six4 knockdown on the expression of genes during fibroblasts to myocytes conversion induced by ectopic expression of MyoD We established C3H/10T1/2 cell line with stable Six4 knockdown by short hairpin RNA (shSix4) vs a control cell line (shLuc) and converted these cells into myogenic lineage by retroviral transduction of plasmid encoding Flag-MyoD-myc (pBABE-MyoD) or empty plasmid (pBABE). Cells were then induced to differentiate for 24 hours before RNA extraction.

Project description:Ribosomes have been suggested to directly control gene regulation, however regulatory roles for ribosomal RNA (rRNA) remain largely unexplored. Expansion segments (ESs) consist of multitudes of tentacle-like rRNA structures extending from the core ribosome in eukaryotes. ESs are remarkably variable in sequence and size across eukaryotic evolution with a largely unknown function. In characterizing ribosome binding to a regulatory element within a Homeobox (Hox) 5’ UTR, we unexpectedly identify a modular stem-loop within this element that binds to a single ES, ES9S. Here, we described the raw data of the relative quantification proteomic analysis using tandem mass tag mass spectrometry of the ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complexes enriched from affinity pulldown of the 4xS1m-aptamer fusion constructs with the lysate components of C3H/10T1/2 cells and mouse embryo. 4xS1m pulldown is performed by combining mouse Hoxa9 mRNA elements (P3 and P4) with C3H/10T1/2 cell lysates, and by combining a9 IRES180 and an unrelated viral IRES with E11.5 FVB mouse embryo lysates. The aptamer alone served as a negative control. RNPs in the eluate were released by RNAse A treatment and were subjected to TMT 6plex labelling.
Project description:Micro-samples of the middle cerebral artery (MCA) were collected from patients with MMD (n=11) and those with control (n=9). Using microarray techniques, transcriptome-wide analysis was performed. Comparison of the MCA gene expression between patients with MMD and control detected 62 and 26 genes whose expression was significantly (P<0.001, fold change>2) up- or down-regulated in the MCA of MMD. Gene set enrichment analysis of genes expressed in the MCA of MMD revealed positive correlations with genes involved in antigen processing and presentation, dendric cells pathway, cytokine pathway, and interleukin 12 pathway, whereas negative correlations with genes involved in oxidative phosphorylation and DNA repair. In addition, quantitative polymerase chain reaction analysis confirmed decreased gene expressions of tetraspanin 2 and ras homolog family member Q in MCA of MMD (P<0.05).
