Project description:Ponesimod is a slective S1PR1 antagonist and is approved for the treatment of Multiple Sclerosis by FDA. To determine how ponesimod controls neuroinflammatory responses in astrocytes, single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) was conducted in cytokine mixture-stimulated human primary astrocytes in the presence or absence of ponesimod.
Project description:Vasopressin, the antidiuretic hormone, acts on the renal collecting duct. In this experiment both vasopressin (AVP) and the V2R specific agonist dDAVP were infused into Aquaporin 1 knockout animals for 7 days. The aim of the experiment was to identify genes increased by vasopressin receptors in the renal medullary collecting ducts, in the absence of an increase in renal medullary osmolarity (the AQP1 knockouts are concentrating mechanism knockouts). All experiments used inner medulla tissue for the RNA isolation. Hybridizations were performed that compared kidney inner medulla total RNA from three control mice against kidney medulla total RNA from 3 mice infused with either arginine vasopressin (AVP) or des-amino-D-arginine vasopressin (dDAVP).
Project description:Purpose: Illumina next-generation sequencing (NGS) has been used to interrogate the transcriptome profiling (bulk RNA-seq) of primary human HSPCs in the presence and absence of RIOK2. Primary human hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) isolated from 3 different donors were genome edited to obtain knockdown (KD) and knockout (KO) of RIOK2. The genome edited HSPCs were then differentiated for 48 hours and their total RNA was isolated to perform cDNA synthesis and bulk RNA sequencing. The overall goal of this study was to investigate the global alterations in gene expressions with dose-dependent loss of RIOK2 in primary human HSPCs, that would expand our understanding of RIOK2-dependent transcriptomic changes involved in hematopoietic differentiation.
Project description:Targets of Retinoic Acid (RA) were identified in primary human epidermal keratinocytes grown in the presence or absence of all-trans retinoic acid for 1, 4, 24, 48 and 72 hours. Targets of Thyroid Hormone (T3) were identified in primary human epidermal keratinocytes grown in the presence or absence of the hormone; same controls as for RA.
Project description:Here, we developed a novel chromosome conformation capture (3C) method for capturing the 3D spatial contacts of endogenous genomic loci without a need for crosslinking. This method, i3C, was applied to multiple loci in two different human primary (ENCODE) cell lines, HUVEC and IMR90, and in the absence or presence of a proinflammatory stimulus (TNFalpha). Coupled to high throughput sequencing on an Illumina HiSeq200 platform, i3C generated aprrox. 8 million single-end reads per experiment.
Project description:This RNA-seq study in primary human forekin keratinocytes was to define genes that are differetially expressed in the presence or absence of HPV16 E7 or several HPV16 E7 variants. We also generated and conducted RNA-seq on primary human foreskin keratinocytes that were CRISPR-Cas9 edited with nontargeting sgRNA or sgRNA targeting PTPN14.
Project description:This RNA-seq study in primary human forekin keratinocytes was to define genes that are differetially expressed in the presence or absence of HPV18 E7 or the HPV18 E7 R84S variant.
Project description:This RNA-seq study in primary human forekin keratinocytes was to define genes that are differetially expressed in the presence or absence of HPV16 E7 or the HPV16 E7 E80A/D81A variant.
Project description:To investigate the transcriptome of endothelial cells undergoing endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition, transcription profiling was performed on primary human endothelial cells in the presence or absence of 40mM acetate following control or cytokine treatment for 4 days. We then performed gene expression profiling analysis using data obtained from RNA-seq of primary human endothelial cells.
