Project description:Chronic glucagon receptor activation induced by a long-acting glucagon analogue causes thickening of the parietal layer of Bowman’s capsule, causes mesangial area expansion, and formation of albuminuria. To dissect the molecular mechanism underlying these effects, RNA sequencing of kidney biopsies from female mice treated for eight weeks with either the long-acting glucagon analogue, NNC9204-0043, or PBS were performed
Project description:Schizocommunin is a natural alkaloid produced from the Schizophyllum commune fungus. In 1994, the first case of allergic bronchopulmonary mycosis caused by the fungus was described. We sought to determine the effects of Schizocommunin treatment on the human transcriptome to identify mechanisms through which the pathogen may be causing the allergic response.
Project description:To better understand the mechanism by which CFZ impacts polyQ toxicity, we conducted a transcriptomic analysis in polyQ94-EGFP expressing U2OS (5μM, 8 days). Data from a transcriptomics experiment in polyQ94-U2OS cells treated with CFZ (5 μM, 8day) was compared to a DMSO-treated control.
Project description:[original title] LMP-420: a novel purine nucleoside analogue with potent cytotoxic effects for chronic lymphocytic leukemia cells and minimal toxicity for normal hematopoietic cells. LMP-420 induces cytotoxicity and apoptosis to CLL cells in vitro without any negative effects to normal immune cells. This gene expression experiment compares CLL cells treated with LMP-420 versus media alone to investigate the mechanism of action of LMP-420.
Project description:Spatial transcriptomics analysis was performed to detect differential gene expression in brain sections of of wild type, 5XFAD mice (model of Alzheimer's Disease), 5XFAD mice treated with either vehicle or human neural stem cells (hNSC)
Project description:Mitochondrial stress stimuli such as AA caused a transient suppression of auxin signaling and conversely, auxin treatment represses a part of the response to AA treatment. Expression data of Col:LUC Arabidopsis treated with antimycin A (AA) in the presence or absence of a synthetic auxin analogue
Project description:The effects of demycarosyl-3D-M-NM-2-D-digitoxosyl-mithramycin SK (DIG-MSK; EC-8042), a novel analogue of the antitumor antibiotic mithramycin A, on gene transcription were examined in human A2780 ovarian carcinoma cells. DIG-MSK down-regulated a different set of genes depending on the drug concentration. Moreover, several genes were significantly up-regulated. These results are rationalized in terms of DIG-MSK competition with Sp1 transcription factor for binding to consensus C/G-rich tracts encompassed in gene promoters. Human A2780 ovarian carcinoma cells were treated with either 8 nM or 80 nM DIG-MSK for 24 h, and RNA was extracted from treated cells as well as from untreated (control) cells.
