Project description:In the current study, we investigated the gene expression response of blood cells of mice that were injected with variable amounts of 137Cs We isolated total RNA from peripheral blood from mice with 0 (control), 158, 191, 215 and 259 uCi cesium source amount on days 2, 3, 5, 7 and 14 days after injection. Using Agilent Mouse Whole Genome microarrays, we identified x genes that were significantly differentially expressed across the 14-day time course of this study. We identified common biological functions affected that persisted across the 14-day study.
Project description:Cesium-137 is a radionuclide of concern in fallout from reactor accidents or nuclear detonations. When ingested or inhaled, it can expose the entire body for an extended period of time, potentially contributing to serious health consequences ranging from acute radiation syndrome to increased cancer risks. In order to identify changes in gene expression that may be informative for detecting such exposure, and to begin examining the molecular responses involved, we have profiled global gene expression in mice injected with 137CsCl. We extracted RNA from the blood of control or 137CsCl-injected mice at 2, 3, 5, 20 or 30 days after exposure. Gene expression was measured using Agilent Whole Mouse Genome Microarrays, and the data was analyzed using BRB-ArrayTools.

Gene expression was measured using Agilent Whole Mouse Genome Microarrays, and the data was analyzed using BRB-ArrayTools. Three-month old male C57Bl/6 mice were injected intraperitoneally with 8.0 M-BM-1 0.3 MBq 137CsCl solution in a volume of 50 M-NM-<L, or left as controls. Groups of treated and control mice were sacrificed at intervals during the first 2-30 days after exposure, and total blood was collected using cardiac puncture. RNA was extracted from the blood, globin-transcript reduced, and subjected to whole genome expression microarray analysis.
Project description:Recent genetic evidence has revealed microRNA-137 (miR-137) as a risk gene in schizophrenia and autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and the following cellular studies have demonstrated the importance of miR-137 in regulating neurogenesis. We have generated miR-137 knockout mice which display behaviors that resemble some symptoms of these two diseases. To investigate the underlying molecular mechanism, we performed comprehensive analyses of the entire RNA and protein molecules of the miR-137 mouse brains. The dataset uploaded here is the raw data of the mass spectrometry-based whole proteome analysis of the six miR-137 mouse brains: wild-type, heterozygous (miR-137+/–) and homozygous (miR-137–/–) from two different litters. The tandem mass tag (TMT) methodology was employed in this proteomics analysis for the quantitation. The sample channels are: 128C (miR-137+/+, litter 1), 129N (miR-137+/–, litter 1), 129C (miR-137–/–, litter 1), 130N (miR-137+/+, litter 2), 130C (miR-137+/–, litter 2), and 131N (miR-137–/–, litter 2).
Project description:We aimed to identify the gene network and pathway biology associated with response to vaccine administration by determining genome-wide alterations in host RNA in children Samples were obtained from children before and after vaccine administration. RNA was extracted from whole blood samples with PAXgene blood RNA reagent, followed by clean-up and DNase I treatment with QIAGEN PAXgene blood RNA kit in accordance with the prescribed protocol provided with the kit. Quality control was performed with Agilent Bioanalyser.
Project description:The experiment was a time course experiment on LNCaP C4-2 human prostate adenocarcinoma cells following irradiation to a dose of 10 Sv from a Cesium-137 gamma source. Total RNA was extracted from cells at 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 20 and 24 hours after irradiation. The untreated control sample, labeled 0, was collected concurrently with the cells extracted at 24 hr. After extraction, the samples were processed and hybridized to the Affymetrix (Santa Clara, CA, www.affymetrix.com) HG-U95Av2 chip, and then washed, stained and scanned according to Affymetrix's protocols contained in the GeneChip(R) Expression Analysis Manual. Transcript abundance data from the scans was processed initially with Affymetrix' Microarray Suite 5(R), then by Silicon Genetics' (Redwood City, CA, www.silicongenetics.com) GeneSpring(R).
Project description:To clarify the effect of miRNAs, we carried out a gene expression microarray analysis of SW780 cells transfected with a miR-137 precursor or a negative control. We found that 1,326 probe sets (1,016 unique genes) were downregulated (>2-fold) by ectopic miR-137 expression, including the previously reported miR-137 target genes CDK6, CDC42 and AURKA. Moreover, Gene Ontology analysis revealed that genes related to the cell cycle were significantly enriched among the affected genes.
Project description:Here, we present a whole-genome survey of the murine transcriptomic response to physiologically-relevant radiation doses, 2 and 8 Gy. There are 18 distinct biological samples here. Mice were exposed to ionizing radiation (Cesium-138 source) and whole blood was collected by cardiac puncture 6 hours post treatment. Doses were 0 (7 samples), 2 (5 samples), and 8 (6 samples) gy.
Project description:Using cross-species analysis, we have previously shown that the miR-137 and the miR-23b microRNA cluster are upregulated in the more aggressive and metastatic, mouse and human, primary tumors, designated as met-like primary (MLP). In order to identify miRNA target genes, we overexpressed the miRNAs in an inducible manner in the insulinoma-like ßTC3 cells and performed RNA-seq.
