View SamplesDifferent human adipose tissue depots may have functional differences. Subcutaneous human adipose tissue has been extensively studied, but less is known about other depots. Perithyroid (PT) adipose tissue contains not only white adipocytes but also brown adipocytes. The aim of this study was to compare the expression of brown adipocyte containing perithyroid adipose tissue with s.c. adipose tissue.role in the development of obesity. Expression profiling of adipose tissue may give insights into mechanisms contributing to obesity and obesity-related disorders.

View SamplesIntact living conduit vessels (umbilical veins) were exposed to normal or high intraluminal pressure, or low or high shear stress in combination with a physiological level of the other force. We used a unique vascular ex vivo perfusion system. After six hours of perfusion endothelial cells were isolated from the stimulated vessels and RNA was extracted. RNA from 16 experiments from each stimulation were pooled and analyzed in duplicate DNA microarrays.

View SamplesAffymetrix gene expression analysis was carried out to investigate the differences in gene profile of MBP89-101-reactive encephalitogenic T cells before and after co-culture with cerebellar granular neurons (CGNs). Co-culture of MBP89-101-reactive encephalitogenic T cells with CGNs leads to generation of T cells with regulatory T cells phenotype (CD4+CD25+membrane bound TGF-b+ T cells) or a new regulatory phenotype (CD4highPD-L1high T cells). CGN-induced CD4+CD25+membrane bound TGF-b+ T regulatory cells, CD4highPD-L1high T cells were purified by FACSAria. IFN-beta induced T lymphocytes (CD4highPD-L1high T cells) were also FACSAria purified. All these populations were compared to MBP89-101-reactive encephalitogenic T cells. Samples were prepared from biological triplicates for each FACSAria sorted population.

View SamplesWe used phytochemical profiling techniques to generate a list of compounds present in each of 13 Equisetum arvense samples sourced globally. We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression underlying the treatment of the model system Saccharomyces cerevisiae to a chosen number of these extracts. A thorough bioinformatic analysis was performed to identify the relationship between phytochemical and gene expression response profiles.

View SamplesObesity has considerable effects on morbidity and mortality, and the prevalence of obesity has been increasing rapidly worldwide during the past two decades. Even if obesity affects the entire individual, adipose tissue plays a central role in the development of obesity. Expression profiling of adipose tissue may give insights into the mechanisms contributing to obesity and obesity-related disorders.
