Project description:to explore the pro-carcinogenic property of high-fat diet in AOM/DSS induced CRC mice model and to fathom how berberine inhibits the formation of adenocarcinoma induced by high-fat diet.
Project description:Berberine shows protective effect against AAPH-damaged C17.2 neural stem cells. This study aims to determine the genes regulated by berberine and clarify the possible molecular mechanism underlying the action.
Project description:We had three goals to perform this study: compare normal mice and colitis mice,compare berberine effect in normal mice and compare berberine effect in colitis mice
Project description:Berberine, an isoquinoline alkaloid isolated from many medicinal herbs such as Coptis chinensis, has a wide range of pharmacological effects. Since xenobiotic drug-induced micoRNAs have recently emerged as key regulators in guiding their pharmacological effects and toxicity, we were interested in whether or not micoRNA expression was differentially altered by berberine treatment in liver. Here, we used miRNA microarray to analyze microRNA expression profiles of primary human hepatocytes after berberine chloride treatment or 0.08% DMSO as control. Comparing gene expression profiles of 40 ï?M berberine-treated primary human hepatocytes to those of control cells sampled after 2, 4, or 8 hours treatment. A 50 mM stock solution of Berberine chloride was prepared in DMSO. Cells were treated with 40 ï?M berberine chloride or 0.08% DMSO as control.

Project description:Transcriptional profiling of Candida albicans comparing fluconazole treated cells with fluconazole- and berberine-treated cells, as well untreated cells with berberine treated cells
Project description:Transcriptional profiling of Candida albicans comparing fluconazole treated cells with fluconazole- and berberine-treated cells, as well untreated cells with berberine treated cells Three different clinical FLC-resistant strains (0304103, 01010 and 632) were selected to carry out the expression profile microarray. Two-condition experiment, fluconazole-treated vs. fluconazole- and berberine-treated cells, and untreated cells vs. berberine-treated cells. Biological replicates: 3 control, 3 transfected, independently grown and harvested. One replicate per array.
