View SamplesHuman induced Pluripotent Stem cells (hiPSc) and their differentiated progeny have great potential for modelling disease. To realise this potential, robust protocols need to be developed for deriving authentic differentiated cell lineages and these lineages need to be rigorously characterised. We have generated hiPSc using retrovirus-mediated delivery of reprogramming factors, and have used them for characterising mid-brain dopaminergic neurons. hiPSc lines have been screened using SNP array to assess chromosomal stability, and validation of the pluripotency of the hiPSc lines is provided by Pluritest assessment of transcriptome datasets.

View SamplesIn order to identify genes with different overall transcript levels or differential exon levels (alternative processing) between the groups Control and Tat-SF1KD, we studied 11 hybridizations on the HumanExon10ST array using mixed model analysis of variance. 526 genes with significant transcript level differences between the groups and 1397 genes with significant differential exon levels were found, including 99 genes with both transcript and exon level differences (p<0.01).
Identification of Tat-SF1 cellular targets by exon array analysis reveals dual roles in transcription and splicing.

View SamplesIn a fluorescence polarization screen for MYC-MAX interaction, we have identified a novel small molecule inhibitor of MYC, KJ-Pyr-9, from a Kröhnke pyridine library. The Kd of KJ-Pyr-9 for MYC in vitro is 6.5 ± 1.0 nM as determined by backscattering interferometry; KJ-Pyr-9 also interferes with MYC-MAX complex formation in the cell as shown in a protein fragment complementation assay. KJ-Pyr-9 specifically inhibits MYC-induced oncogenic transformation in cell culture; it has no or only weak effects on the oncogenic activity of several unrelated oncoproteins. KJ-Pyr-9 preferentially interferes with the proliferation of MYC-overexpressing human and avian cells and specifically reduces the MYC-driven transcriptional signature. In vivo, KJ-Pyr-9 effectively blocks the growth of a xenotransplant of MYC-overexpressing human cancer cells. Overall design: 4 treatment groups analyzed in triplicate: no treatment(control), 20uM KJ-Pyr-9, 0.1ug/mL doxycycline and KJ-Pyr-9 in combination with doxycycline

View SamplesVolatiles of certain rhizobacteria can cause growth inhibitory effects on plants/ Arabidopsis thaliana. How these effects are initiated and which mechanisms are enrolled is not yet understood. Obviously the plant can survive/live with the bacteria in the soil, which suggest the existance of a regulatory mechanism/network that provide the possibility for coexistance with the bacteria. To shed light on this regulatory mechanism/network we performed a microarray anlaysis of Arabidopsis thaliana co-cultivated with two different rhizobacteria strains.
Volatiles of two growth-inhibiting rhizobacteria commonly engage AtWRKY18 function.

View SamplesCaryopses of barley (Hordeum vulgare), like all other cereal seeds, are complex sink organs optimized for storage starch accumulation and embryo development. Their development from early stages after pollination to late stages of seed ripening has been studied in great detail. However, information on the caryopses diurnal adaptation to changes in light, temperature and alterations in phloem-supplied carbon and nitrogen remained unknown.
Significance of light, sugar, and amino acid supply for diurnal gene regulation in developing barley caryopses.

View SamplesHigh temperature stress, like any abiotic stress, impairs the physiology and development of plants, including the stages of seed setting and ripening.

Chromatinized protein kinase C-θ directly regulates inducible genes in epithelial to mesenchymal transition and breast cancer stem cells.
Cell line, Treatment
View SamplesEpithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) is activated during cancer invasion and metastasis, enriches for cancer stem cells (CSCs), and contributes to therapeutic resistance and disease recurrence. The epithelial cell line MCF7, can be induced to undergo EMT with the induction of PKC by PMA. 5-10% of the resulting cells have a CSC phenotype. This study looks at the transcriptome of these cells and how it differs from cells with a non-CSC phenotype.
