Project description:Transcriptional profiling of small intestinal explants cultured in the absence or in the presence of Ibuprofen (100 µM). Two-condition experiment, control intestinal explants vs Ibuprofen intestinal explants
Project description:Ibuprofen is one of the most commonly detected pharmaceuticals in wastewater effluent; however the effects of ibuprofen on aquatic organisms are poorly understood. This study presents the transcriptome-wide response of the inland silverside, Menidia beryllina, to chronic 14 d exposures to ibuprofen.
Project description:Ibuprofen is one of the most commonly detected pharmaceuticals in wastewater effluent; however the effects of ibuprofen on aquatic organisms are poorly understood. This study presents the transcriptome-wide response of the inland silverside, Menidia beryllina, to chronic 14 d exposures to ibuprofen. Twenty-four samples were run on twenty-four arrays, there were six replicates for each of three ibuprofen exposure concentrations and a control group.
Project description:Here, we performed single cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) of human fetal ileum tissue samples from 3 individual biological specimens ages 11.4, 14.4, and 18.9 weeks post conception. The data set is composed of over 16,000 cells from diverse intestinal lineages.
Project description:Bulk RNA-seq show differential gene expression profile beween Wild type (WT) and Tet3 knockout (KO) in ileum. We identified genes involved in innate immune defense, anti-microbial response and growth signaling to be affected by TET3 deletion.
Project description:An anthropogenic chemical contaminant commonly identified in aquatic receiving environments is the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), ibuprofen(IBF). While the role of ibuprofen in target organisms is known, there exists a paucity of data on the impact of exposure to non-target wildlife species. In the case of frog species, normal development and environmental fitness involves the actions of the thyroid hormones (THs), particularly at key points in the life cycle. We investigated whether exposure of premetamorphic North American bullfrog (Rana catesbeiana) tadpoles to IBF altered their response to treatment with an exogenous dose of thyroid hormone (T3).

We investigated whether exposure of premetamorphic North American bullfrog (Rana catesbeiana) tadpoles to IBF altered their response to treatment with an exogenous dose of thyroid hormone (T3). Six animals randomly selected from each treatment were examined for the status of the hepatic transcriptome using MAGEX DNA array analysis.
Project description:Purpose: To investigate the involvement of Nfat5 in the regulation of an ibuprofen transporter Method: Reverse transfection with siRNA against Nfat5 was used to knockdown Nfat5 in MDCK I cells. The uptake of both radiolabelled taurine and ibuprofen was measured in MDCK I cells, first treated with siRNA against Nfat5 for 24 h and afterwards cultivated with raffinose-supplemented normal growth medium (500 mOsm) for 24 h. The knock down of NFat5 was investigated by qpCR and western blotting. A transcriptome analysis of MDCK I cells treated with siRNA against Nfat5 was performed. Validation of the transcriptome analysis was perform with qPCR and radiolabelled uptake of ibuprofen. Results: The siRNA transfection resulted in a knock down of Nfat5, and the uptake of both taurine and ibuprofen was significant decreased in the transfected MDCK I cells. The transcriptome analysis of MDCK I cells treated with siRNA against Nfat5 revealed genes regulated by Nfat5 during hyperosmotic exposure. qPCR and the transciptome analysis showed an involvement of Nfat5 in the hyperosmotic regulation of Tmem184 and uptake in Tmem184b-siRNA treated MDCK I cells showed that Tmem184b might be involved in uptake of ibuprofen. Conclusion: The regulation of Tmem184b was found regulated by Nfat5 and could be a potential possible candidate for the gene product responsible for the uptake of ibuprofen in MDCK I cells
