Project description:In this study, liquid chromatography-tandem spectrometry (LC–MS/MS) analysis was conducted to characterize the overall salivary protein composition from dissected salivary glands and secreted saliva in P. bambucicola, and to identify putative effector proteins important for aphid-plant interactions. This study promotes our understanding for the role of salivary glands in host specialization of P. bambucicola, and provide insight into its adaptation to unique feeding habit.
Project description:Investigating how the Wnt-driven Mll1 epigenome regulates salivary gland and head and neck cancer. We performed mRNA-seq and ChIP-seq of H3K4me1, me2 and me3 on mouse salivary gland cancer cells that are kept in two different growth conditions, adherent culture and non-adherent sphere culture. Mouse salivary gland cancer cells were isolated from salivary gland of transgenic mouse that harbor K14-Cre-induced Wnt/β-catenin gain-of-function and Bmpr1a loss-of-function mutations. Anti-H3K4me1 (C15410194), -me2 (C15410035) and -me3 (C15410003-50) antibodies were purchased from Diagenode. ChIP-seq was performed according to the protocols provided by Diagenode using the iDeal ChIP-seq kit for histones and the iDeal library preparation kit. For mRNA-seq, mRNA was extracted according to the standard TRIzol protocol (Invitrogen) and subjected to library preparation using the TruSeq stranded mRNA library preparation kit. Sequencing was performed with the TruSeq SBS Kit v3-HS (2 X 200 cycles) on an Illumina HiSeq 2000 sequencer.
