Human lung adenocarcinoma cell lines (CPA-Yang1, CPA-Yang2, CPA-Yang3, SPC-A-1) and human larger cell lung cancer cell line NCI-H460 were injected into left cardiac ventricle of nude mice for bone metastases clone, respectively. Bone metastatic lesions were detected by bone scintigraphy with 99mTc-methylene diphophonate and X ray. Removed bone metastatic lesions for cell primary culture, chromosome analysis for determine the bone metastatic cells have a characterization of unchanged humanization, in the anesthesia death mice. Through in vivo ~ in vitro selections, the bone-seeking clones 1st, 3th, 4th, 8th, 8th passage cells of CPA-Yang1, CPA-Yang2, CPA-Yang3, SPC-A-1, NCI-H460 and their parent cells were used for microarray analysis, respectively.

View SamplesEndothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) are a group of cells which can differentiate to mature endothelial cells in a certain culture condition, and were first isolated from adult human peripheral blood by Asahara et al. in 1997. EPCs have a critical role in the restoration of injured vessel endothelium and the neovascularization in the area of ischemia injury. Recently, the role of androgens in the proliferation, differentiation and adhesion of EPCs is more and more focused. Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is a kind of unmetabolizable androgen.

View SamplesThe renewing human epidermis constantly senses and adapts to a wide range of mechanical cues that are ubiquitous throughout life. The mechanisms of how mechanical forces are responded by interfollicular epidermal stem cells (IFESCs) and are transmitted directly into nucleus to modify gene expression remain incompletely defined. In vitro, human IFESCs were cultured on the collagen I coated silicon rubber membrane and then subjected to the mechanical stretched. Cyclic mechanical tension at 0.5 Hz sinusoidal curve at 10% elongation was applied using an FX-5000T Flexercell Tension Plus unit (Flexcell International Corporation). In mechanical unloading groups, cells were cultured on the same plates in the same incubator with the mechanical stretched groups but not subjected to stretch. Combining genome-wide microarray and functional analyses, we made transcriptome analysis of samples from the mechanical unstretched or stretched isolated human IFESCs.

View SamplesObesity is tightly associated with an increased risk of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). However, the molecular mechanisms of obesity-induced fatty liver remain largely unknown.In order to identify genes that are potentially involved in dysfunctional hepatic lipid homeostasis in obesity, we performed a clustering analysis of Affymetrix arrays,which revealed that a number of mRNAs were dys-regulated in the livers of mice fed a high-fat diet (HFD), compared with mice fed a normal chow diet (ND).

View SamplesHyperthyroidism is a kind of common autoimmune disease. It is widely accepted that B lymphocytes play a significant role in GD as they are the source of autoantibodies (TRAb) against the thyroid-stimulating hormone receptor (TSHR). We previously observed B cells infiltrated in the thyroid tissue from GD patients was significantly higher than that in healthy controls.In this study, our flow cytometry results indicated that the proportion of B cells in GD patients is much higher than that in control. To explore the underlying pathological function of B cells in GD, a microarray profiles was performed in these isolated B cells.

View Samples27 sample pairs were conducted exon microarrays and 25 sample pairs were retain for our further alternative splicing analysis. 260 genes showed differential expression in more than 50% of our samples and 21 genes among them were validated by real-time PCR. Six genes with splicing events, which were firstly found in gastric cancer, were confirmed by RT-PCR.
