Project description:Gene expression profiling by cDNA microarray of bone marrow stromal cells from three healthy donors treated as follows: vehicle control; or stimulated with 10 nM substance P. Hematopoiesis is tightly regulated by the bone marrow (BM) niche. The niche is robust, allowing for the return of hematopoietic homeostasis after insults such as infection. Hematopoiesis is partly regulated by soluble factors such as neuropeptides, substance P (SP) and neurokinin A (NK-A), which mediate hematopoietic stimulation and inhibition, respectively. The hematopoietic effects of SP and NK-A are mostly mediated via BM stroma. Array analyses with 2400 genes indicated distinct changes in SP-stimulated BM stroma.
Project description:We found that the bone marrow microenvironment of Crebbp+/- mice was unable to properly maintain the immature stem - and progenitor pools. Instead, it stimulates myeloid differentiation that progresses into a myeloproliferative-like disease. Since CREBBP is a transcriptional co-activator, we used gene expression analysis to globally assess functional deficiencies in Crebbp+/- bone marrow stroma cells at a molecular level. Ep300 encodes a protein which is highly similar in structure and function to CREBBP; nevertheless, Ep300+/- mice suffer neither excessive myeloid differentiation nor loss of HSCs. Therefore, to identify expression changes specifically related to Crebbp heterozygosity, we focused on genes that showed significant differences in expression levels between Crebbp+/- and wild-type bone marrow stroma but no difference between Ep300+/- and wild-type. Bone marrow stroma was established from wild-type, Crebbp+/- and Ep300+/- mice that were 3-4 months old for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. There are 4 biological replicates for each genotype used.

Project description:The transcriptome changes of breast cancer cell SUM1315, with or without co-culture with bone marrow stroma cells, upon cisplatin (CDDP) treatment.
Project description:Purpose: Investigate the neutrophils could exspress different mRNA de novo from PGE2 stimulation. Methods: Isolated bone marrow neutrophils with Percoll gradient are treated with 10 μM of PGE2 for 24 hours. Results: Qualified sequence reads per sample to the mouse genome (mm10) with Bowtie2 or STAR were processed with StringTie and identified genes. Conclusion : 1,359 genes were significantly different in PGE2 treated bone marrow neutrophils from vehicle treated ones.
