Project description:The antitumour activity of a hit tioxanthone is associated with alterations in cholesterol localization We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression underlying treatment of lung cancer with TXA1.Hcl
Project description:Differentially expressed microRNAs (miRNAs) were detected to explore the molecular mechanisms of diapause termination. The total small RNA (sRNA) of diapause-destined silkworm eggs and HCl-treated eggs was extracted and then sequenced using HiSeq/MiSeq high-throughput method. 44 novel miRNAs were discovered. Compared to those in the diapause-destined eggs, 61 miRNAs showed significant changes in the acid-treated eggs, with 23 being up-regulated and 38 being down-regulated. The potential target genes of differentially expressed miRNAs were predicted by miRanda. Gene Ontology and KEGG pathway enrichment analysis of these potential target genes revealed that they were mainly located within cells and organelles, involved in cellular and metabolic processes, and participated in protein production, processing and transportation. Two differentially expressed genes, Bombyx mori SDH (BmSDH) and Bmo-miR-2761-3p, were further analyzed with qRT-PCR. BmSDH was significantly up-regulated in the HCl-treated eggs, while Bmo-miR-2761-3p was down-regulated. These results suggested that these two genes were well coordinated in silkworm eggs. Dual luciferase reporter (DLR) assay demonstrated that Bmo-miR-2761-3p inhibited the expression of BmSDH.
Project description:This study provides an evaluation of changes in gene expression associated with chlorpromazine HCl treatment of rat hepatocytes in vitro. Primary rat hepatocytes were treated for 24 and 48 hours with two doses (0.8 uM and 20 uM) of chlorpromazine HCl and 1% DMSO vehicle control. Five replicates of each treatment were performed. Cells were then extracted and RNA processed for microarray analysis.
Project description:In order to identify renal pathways regulated by activation of the calcium sensing receptor (CaSR) we performed a microarray on RNA isolated from kidneys of mice not treated or treated with conacalcet HCL
Project description:Gallic acid (also known as 3,4,5-trihydroxybenzoic acid, GA), a naturally occurring phenolic acid, is a major constituent of tea and red wine. It has been demonstrated that GA possess anti-cancer activities. We found the epigenetic effect of GA in tobacco-associated human cancer cell lines. In this dataset, we include the expression array data from human lung cancer H1299 cell line with or without the treatment of 5azaC or GA. These data were used to obtain genes upregulated in both 5azaC- orGA-treated H1299 cells.
