Experiment: Establishment of expression profiles in a brain metastasis from a PTC (RNA processing and hybridization to Affymetrix microarray done twice to yield a technical replicate), in non-brain metastatic, stage III and IV PTCs, and primary brain tumors. Biostatistics analysis identified genes and biofunctions related to the brain metastatic PTC.

View SamplesExperiment: Establishment of expression profiles in HT, PTC with HT, PTC without HT, and mPTC in comparison to TN samples. TN samples were downloaded as CEL files from the repository of the microarray vendor. Biostatistical analysis focussed in first instance on identifying genes and biofunctions related to HT and PTC with HT.

They develop hypertension, heart hypertrophy and proteinuria.We compared terminal heart failure, these are indeed terminally ill to double transgenic animals suffering on hypertension, proteinuria and heart hypertrophy. In addition, Losartan-treated animals (10 mg/kg/d)showed similar physiological parameters (normotension, no proteinuria and no heart hypertrophy compared to control sprague dawley rats.

View SamplesExperiment: Expression profiling in breast cancer brain metastases (BC) compared to breast cancers (BC) and primary brain tumors (prBT). The objectives are to identify expression profiles that are specific to BCBM in order to identify new molecular biomarkers. The characterization of the BCBM samples included adjacent genetic techniques.

View SamplesCumulus cells are biologically distinct from other follicular cells and perform specialized roles, transmitting signals within the ovary and supporting oocyte maturation during follicular development. The bi-directional communication between the oocyte and the surrounding cumulus cells is crucial for the acquisition of oocyte competence. Using Illumina/deep-sequencing technology, we dissected the small RNAome of pooled human mature MII oocytes and cumulus cells. Overall design: Cumulus cells and MII mature oocytes small RNA profiles were generated by deep-sequencing, using Illumina 1G sequencer

View SamplesPlants respond to changes in the red:far red ratio (R:FR) of incident light. A reduction in this ratio (increase in FR) results in the Shade Avoidance Response (SAR) with associated changes in gene expression. The Phyotchrome-Interacting Factors (PIFs) are bHLH transcription factors known to be involved in the SAR. An analysis of changes in gene expression in WT and quadruple pif1pif3pif4pif5 (pifq; Leivar et al., 2008 (PMID 19920208)) mutant seedlings in response to an increase in FR should identify primary targets of PIF signaling.

View SamplesWe recently reported that carbon monoxide (CO) has bactericidal activity. To understand its mode of action we analysed the gene expression changes occurring when Escherichia coli, grown aerobically and anaerobically, is treated with the carbon monoxide releasing molecule, CORM-2. The E. coli microarray analysis shows that E. coli CORM-2 response is multifaceted with a high number of differentially regulated genes spread through several functional categories, namely genes involved in inorganic ion transport and metabolism, regulators, and genes implicated in posttranslational modification, such as chaperones. CORM-2 has higher impact in E. coli cells grown anaerobically, as judged by the existence of repressed genes belonging to eight functional classes which are absent in aerobically CORM-2 treated cells. In spite of the relatively stable nature of the CO molecule, our results show that CO is able to trigger a significant alteration in the transcriptome of E. coli which necessarily has effects in several key metabolic pathways.

View SamplesTo assess the effect of different forms of TL1A within different organs of the mouse we generated 2 different transgenic mouse lines where TL1A was expressed under the control of the CD2 promoter. 2 forms of TL1A was used. Either WT TL1A, which led to over expression of both membrane bound and soluble forms of TL1A (Refered to as Mem+Sol) or TL1A Delta 69-93 which only overexpressed membrane restricted TL1A (Refered to as Mem). Lungs and terminal ileums were taken from Either Mem, Mem+sol or WT litermate control mice at 12 weeks of age and the transcriptome assessed using RNAseq Through this we demonstrated enrichment of different transcripts and pathways both dependent on and independent of the form of TL1A and the site of action. This study is also the first to use RNASeq to assess the resualt of overexpression of TL1A within the mouse. Overall design: Poly-A purified mRNA profiles from the Ileum and Lung of Mem, Mem+Sol and WT mice generated using Illumina based RNASeq

View SamplesAn RNA-seq dataset obtained from neural fold-stage chicken (Gallus gallus, strain Special Black) embryos that were exposed to a pharmacologically-relevant alcohol concentration (52 mM for 90 min) or isotonic saline. The cranial headfolds were isolated 6 hours following the initial alcohol exposure. Following RNA isolation, cDNA synthesis, and quality assurance (20), paired-end reads (75 bp) were generated on an Illumina Genome Analyzer IIx (University of Wisconsin Biotechnology Center). Overall design: Paired end runs with 2 replicate ethanol exposed samples (pool of 23 individual neural folds) and 2 saline control samples (pool of 23 individual neural folds).
