Project description:Rauwolfia vomitoria extract is an herbal preparation of the root bark of a plant in the tropical forests of Africa, which could inhibit Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Characterizing the molecular alterations of BPH1 and WPMY-1 cells treated with RWF is important for understanding the molecular mechanisms of RWF inhibiting BPH. We used microarrays to detail the RNA expression.

Project description:Soil microbial community composition and diversity in tropical forests
Project description:A comparision of soil microbial functional genes of three types of subtropical broad-leaved forests Microbial functional structure was significantly different among SBFs (P < 0.05). Compared to the DBF and the EBF, the MBF had higher alpha-diversity of functional genes but lower beta-diversity, and showed more complex functional gene networks.

Project description:Ganoderma colossum (Fr.) Baker, a white rot fungus distributed in tropical and subtropical forests, is a rare Ganoderma mushroom belonging to the family Ganodermataceae. In Asia, the fruiting body of G. colossum has been used as tonics or as folk medicine for a variety of illnesses, including malignant diseases. Colossolactone H (colo H) as a new compound was isolated and studied for its anticancer mechanism in human lung cancer H1650 cells. We used microarrays to analyze the gene expression changes upon colo H treatment that helped underlying the molecular mechanism of colo H in H1650 lung cancer cells. The H1650 cells treated with colo H for 12 and 24 h for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays.
