Rats overexpressing the human renin and angiotensinogen genes die after seven weeks of end organ damage. 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 SamplesMicroRNAs (miRNAs) have emerged as important gene regulators and are recognized as key players in tumorigenesis. miR-143 is reported to be down-regulated in several cancers, but knowledge of its targets in colon cancer remains limited. To investigate the role of miR-143 in colon cancer, we have employed a microarray based approach to identify miR-143 targets. Based on seed site enrichment analyses and unbiased word analyses, we found a significant enrichment of miRNA binding sites in the 3-untranslated regions (UTRs) of transcripts down-regulated upon miRNA overexpression. Here we identify Hexokinase 2 (HK2) as a direct target of miR-143 and show that re-introduction of miR-143 in the colon cancer cell line DLD-1 results in a decreased lactate secretion, indicating that miR-143 down-regulation of HK2 affects glucose metabolism in colon cancer cells.

View SamplesAn Hodgkin Lymphoma cell line have been treated with an LNA inhibitor for miR-9 or with a scramble LNA to identify miR-9 regulated pathways that could be important for Hodgkin Lymphoma pathogenesis.
Inhibition of miR-9 de-represses HuR and DICER1 and impairs Hodgkin lymphoma tumour outgrowth in vivo.

View SamplesDysferlin is expressed in skeletal and cardiac muscle. However, dysferlin deficiency, namely limb girdle muscular dystrophy 2B (LGMD2B) and Myoshi myopathy, results in skeletal muscle weakness and spares the heart. This dichotomy could be caused by differential regulation of protective mechanisms. Therefore, we compared intraindividual mRNA expression profiles between cardiac and skeletal muscle in dysferlin-deficient SJL/J mice and normal C57BL/6 mice.

View SamplesWe surveyed RNA-Seq data to identify those TEs that are transcriptionally active uniquely in human pluripotent cells. We identified one endogenous retrovirus (HERV-H) family, uniquely found in primates as being unusually abundant in the transcriptome. The microarray data provided is to support our human naive cell hypothesis.

View SamplesThe combined activation of Wnt/-catenin and MET/HGF is required for mammary cancer stem cell (MaCSC) maintenance. We generated mammospheres derived from tumors of mice harboring Wnt/Met signaling mutations on which we performed microarray analysis to evaluate gene expression signatures controlled by Wnt and MET pathways. We used the gene expression profiles to dissect the role and the functions of these pathways in MaCSCs.
Combined Wnt/β-catenin, Met, and CXCL12/CXCR4 signals characterize basal breast cancer and predict disease outcome.
