Project description:Purpose: Determine the mechanism of H2O2-induced signaling in melanocytes. Method: Primary human epidermal melanocytes were treated with H2O2 (200 μM) and incubated for 24 h. Total RNA (500 ng) from melanocytes were extracted and subjected to library synthesis. Results: H2O2-treated melanocytes exhibited upregulation of cell death and type 1 interferon-related genes. Conclusion: H2O2-induced melanocyte signaling was well evaluated using RNA sequencing.
Project description:Adaptation to hydrogen peroxide in Saccharomyces cerevisiae is profiled with expression arrays. Adaptation describes the process in which a mild dose of toxin (in this case, hydrogen peroxide) is able to protect against a later acute dose. Here, we study two adaptive protocols (0.1 mM H2O2 and 0.1 + 0.4 mM H2O2) and one acute protocol (0.4 mM H2O2) to identify processes uniquely involved in adaptation. Predictions from these studies are validated in expression profiling of deletion mutants of the transcription factors Yap1, Mga2, and Rox1.
Project description:In this experiment we tested the transcriptome of transgenic Arabidopsis seedlings (5-day-old) constitutively expressing the zinc-finger protein Zat12 (At5g59820) under the control of the 35S-CaMV promoter (Zat12). The transcriptome of these seedlings was compared to that of wild type seedlings grown under the same conditions (WT) and to that of wild type seedlings grown under the same conditions and subjected to a hydrogen peroxide stress (WT+H2O2). Hydrogen peroxide treatment was performed by applying 20 mM hydrogen peroxide for 1 hour. In parallel to these experiments transgenic plants expressing Zat12 were subjected to a similar hydrogen peroxide stress (Zat12+H2O2). All treatments were performed with similar size and age seedlings grown in liquid culture (MS) and sampled at the same time as described by Davletova et al., 2005.

Project description:Oxidative stress caused by Menadione or Hydrogen peroxide in synchronized Saccharomyces cerevisiae cultures. Alpha factor synchronized cultures (0.2-0.4 OD), treated at the beginning of S phase (25 min after release from G1 arrest) with either 2 mM Menadione (MD) or 0.24 mM Hydrogen peroxide (HP), show cell cycle effects. Cells treated with MD arrested at G1. Cells treated with HP delayed at S and then, after removal of HP at 135 minutes , continued the cell cycle, only to arrest at G2/M. Growth was carried out in 30C with shaking (295 rpm). Two time course experiments were performed with each oxidative stress agent, designated as H2O2 and H2O2_II, MD and MD_II. Keywords = oxidative stress Keywords = menadione Keywords = hydrogen peroxide Keywords = time course Keywords = cell cycle Keywords = yeast Keywords: other
Project description:ChIP-on-chip tilling array comparing untreated human SW480 cells vs SW480 cells treated with 2mM H2O2 for 30min. Exposing cells to the reactive oxygen species, hydrogen peroxide, recruits DNA methyltransferase 1 (DNMT1) to damaged chromatin. DNMT1 becomes part of a complex(es) containing DNMT3B and members of Polycomb Repressive Complex 4. The goal was to determine the effect of hydrogen peroxide treatment on chromatin, including changes in histone modifications and binding patterns of chromatin-associated proteins.
Project description:Excessive levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) cause cellular stress through damage to all classes of macromolecules and result in cell death. However, ROS can also act as signaling molecules in various biological processes. In plants, ROS signaling has been documented in environmental stress perception, plant development and cell death amongst others. Knowledge on the regulatory events governing ROS signal transduction is however still scratching the surface. To further elucidate the transcriptional response and regulation upon ROS accumulation we supplemented Arabidopsis seedlings with a 10mM hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) solution to trigger oxidative stress. After growth of 7 days, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) was added to a final concentration of 10mM. Control plants were treated with the same volume of H2O. Seedlings were grown for 24h under the same controlled conditions. Design: 3 replicates x 2 conditions (7+1 day H2O or 7+1 day H2O2)
Project description:Green plants are more robust to hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) stress and contain high endogeneous H2O2 levels which is generated during photorespiration and photosynthesis. Therefore, exgeneous H2O2 application mostly impose oxidative stress. To reduce endogenous H2O2 background, we adopted a strategy which is to grow Arabidopsis seedlings in the dark to eliminate light-induced H2O2 production, thus to reduce the endogenous H2O2 level. Exogenous H2O2 was then applied to induce transcriptome changes. Global gene expression is studied and compared between samples collected under 7d dark, 7d H2O2 treatment under dark and 7d light conditions.
