Project description:Acid rain, as a worldwide environmental issue, can cause serious damage to plants. In this study, we provided the first case study on the systematic responses of arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) Heynh.) to simulated acid rain (SiAR) by transcriptome approach. In this dataset, we include the expression data obtained from Arabidopsis with simulated acid rain treatments for 68 hr, and contrasting with control group in the same time. Totally, 439 differetal expression genes were obtained in our stduy. Form them, 13 genes which dramatically changed their expression were found related to S metabolism.
Project description:Characterization of the genomic distribution of RAIN in thyroid cancer. RAIN was pulled-down using two sets of 3’ BiotinTEG probes (EVEN and ODD). Subsequently, the DNA bound by RAIN was sequenced to assess its biding genome wide.

Total RNA was extracted using the RNeasy Plant Mini Kit (Qiagen). Preparation of labeled target cRNA was carried out following the technical manual of Arabidopsis Genome GeneChip array (Affymetrix). Double-stranded cDNA was synthesized from 5 M-NM-<g of template total RNA using the One-Cycle cDNA Synthesis kit (Affymetrix), and biotin labeled cRNA was synthesized using the IVT Labeling kit (Affymetrix). The labeled cRNA was purified with GeneChip Sample Cleanup Module (Affymetrix). The quality and quantity of the cRNA was checked by conducting gel electrophoresis. Twenty micrograms of the purified cRNA of each sample was fragmented and hybridized to arrays for 16 h at 45M-BM-0C. All arrays were washed and stained automatically by using a fluidics Station 450 (Affymetrix) and scanned by GeneChipM-BM-. scanner 3000 (Affymetrix). All procedures were performed according to the manufacturerM-bM-^@M-^Ys protocols (Affymetrix). Normalization and expression estimate computation were calculated from the .CEL output files from the Affymetrix GCOS 1.1 software using RMA implemented in R language using standard settings. Statistical testing for differential expression was performed with logic-t analysis. Functional categories were assigned to genes using the AGI number to search the MIPS database (http://mips.gsf.de/cgi-bin/proj/thal/) and the Arabidopsis Information Resource website, TAIR (http://www.arabidopsis.org/).
Project description:The branched-chain amino acids (BCAA) are essential to animal growth and intramuscular fat deposition, and also metabolic health (circulating level elevated in obesity and diabetes). However, the molecular role and effect of valine on muscle growth and fat deposition were less explored. Valine supplementation significantly affected mouse muscle growth, increasing the abdominal fat but decreasing the back fat. In the leg muscle, the expression levels of genes related to autophagy and fat deposition were significantly disturbed. Furthermore, valine promotes lipid deposition in myoblasts in a dose-dependent manner, and co-treatment of valine and palmitic acid can act in concert to enhance lipid deposition in myoblast. Moreover, transcriptome sequencing on myoblasts revealed that the signaling pathways such as mTOR, PI3K-AKT and fatty acid metabolism were activated after valine treatment, and palmitic acid additionally stimulated signaling pathways related to lipid metabolism in myoblasts. Therefore, valine could independently activate the autophagy pathway, and the fatty acid metabolism pathway to enhance intramuscular fat deposition
Project description:The aim of this experiment was to identify the RUNX2- and RAIN-dependent transcriptional program in thyroid cancer. TPC1 and MDA-T41 cell line were infected with dCas9-KRAB and sgRNA targeting the gene of interest (RAIN or RUNX2 respectively) or a non-targeting (NT) sgRNA as control. RNA was collected 10 days after infection and changes in gene expression were evaluated by total RNA-seq.
Project description:The leaf transcriptome of the nickel hyperaccumulator Psychotria gabriellae (Rubiaceae) endemic from New Caledonia was compared to the closely related non-accumulator Psychotria semperflorens, living in sympatry with P. gabriellae in rain forest on serpentine soil, to identity differentially expressed genes potentially involved in Ni hyperaccumulation.
