The objective was to study the time-course effects of interleukin-1 (IL-1) on equine articular cartilage, with the aim to identify genes of relevance for cartilage pathology in osteoarthritis. Changes in gene expression related to inflammation, extracellular matrix, and phenotypic alterations was studied.
Time-dependent changes in gene expression induced in vitro by interleukin-1β in equine articular cartilage.

View SamplesUrethra was partially ligated and the urinary bladder was removed 10 days or 6 weeks after obstruction. Sham operated rats were used as controls. An addtitonal group of rats were repoerated 6 weeks after surgery and the obstruction was removed. These rats were then sacrificed 10 days after deobstruction. The bladder (including the urothelium) was frozen and used for RNA extraction.

View SamplesBilateral freezing of the pelvic ganglia in female rats were performed to denervate the urinary bladder. Sham operated rats were used as controls. The rats were sacrificed 10 days after surgery. The urinary bladders (including the urothelium) were frozen and used for RNA extraction.

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 SamplesHypothesis: Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is characterized by a multitude of genetic aberrations with unknown clinical impact. In this study, we aimed to identify gene copy number changes that correlate with clinical outcome in NSCLC. To maximize the chance to identify clinically relevant events, we applied a strategy involving two prognostically extreme patient groups.

View SamplesBackground: Global gene expression profiling has been widely used in lung cancer research to identify clinically relevant molecular subtypes as well as to predict prognosis and therapy response. So far, the value of these multi-gene signatures in clinical practice is unclear and the biological importance of individual genes is difficult to assess as the published signatures virtually do not overlap.

View SamplesThe delicate interaction between cancer cells and the surrounding stroma plays an essential role in all stages of tumourigenesis. Despite the significance of this interplay, alterations in protein composition underlying tumour-stroma interactions are largely unknown. The aim of this study was to identify stromal proteins with clinical relevance in non-small cell lung cancer.
