To investigate the systemic molecular changes occurring as a result of Dhr96 knockdown or over-expression, a comparison between knockdown or overexpression lines and their genetic controls were performed. 0-3 day old adult males or females were reared on 3 separate batches of diet (this was the standard diet we used for culturing Drosophila melanogaster and was made up of 10L water, 100g agar (USP #7060 Bio-serve), 350g Brewers dried yeast (Sunshine Health), 300g black treacle (Lyles), 150g sucrose (Tate & Lyle), 300g Difco dextrose (Becton Dickinson), 150g cornmeal (#1151, Bioserve), 100g wheatgerm (#1659, Bioserve), 200g soya bean flour (#S9633 Sigma Aldrich), 10g methyl-4-hydroxybenzoate (#H3647 Sigma Aldrich) in 10ml ethanol, 50ml proprionic acid (#P5561 Sigma Aldrich)). Each of these 3 batches was considered to represent independent biological replication. The RNA samples were hybridized to the Affymetrix Drosophila GeneChip 2.

View SamplesTo test whether other genes were being silenced in the Cyp6g1 knockdown strain due to off-target RNAi effects, and whether other gene expression changes were contributing to the altered susceptibility to imidacloprid in these knockdown flies. A comparison between w;Act5C-GAL4/CyO; UAS:RNAi_Cyp6g1Hp2/TM3Sb and the genetic control w;Act-GAL4/CyO;+/TM3Sb was performed. Ten 2-3 day old adult males or females were transferred to sugar-agar plates and then collected at various time points (0, 2, 5, 8 hours). The RNA samples for up to three independent experiments per timepoint for each genotype were then pooled, in equal concentrations, before hybridisation to the Affymetrix Drosophila GeneChip 1.

View SamplesTrancript Based Cloning (TBC) uses standard Gene Expression techniques to quickly isolate genes of interest and begin to determine their function. Using a particular mutant phenotype, identified during a programme of mutagenesis and screning, and a wild-type control we can quickly determine a list of genes that is likely to contain the gene responsible for the phenotype. TBC is a general method for identifying and cloning important plant genes that is fast and may be applicable to almost any plant species Transcript abundance assays on the barley rar1-2 mutant and Sultan5 wild type were performed by using standard methods for the Affymetrix barley genome array (Affymetrix). For each genotype, two independent biological replicates were analyzed and pooled for analysis. Data were analyzed with DCHIP VERSION 1.3 (www.dchip.org),using data from only perfect-match oligonucleotides. Model-based analysis was performed by using perfect match-only analysis, compiling data from two biological replicates for each condition. Pairwise comparisons were analyzed for each condition, and a lower 90% confidence bound (LCB) and fold change were determined for each comparison. Gene expression changes were considered significant if the LCB was 1.4-fold or higher and if the intensities between the two conditions differed by >100. ****[PLEXdb(http://www.plexdb.org) has submitted this series at GEO on behalf of the original contributor, james hadfield.

View SamplesThe ovine Callipyge mutation causes postnatal muscle hypertrophy localized to the pelvic limbs and torso, as well as body leanness. The mechanism underpinning enhanced muscle mass is unclear, as is the systemic impact of the mutation. Using muscle fibre typing immunohistochemistry we confirmed muscle specific effects and demonstrated that affected muscles had greater prevalence and hypertrophy of type 2X fast twitch glycolytic fibres and decreased representation of types 1, 2C, 2A and/or 2AX fibres. To investigate potential systemic effects of the mutation, proton NMR spectra of plasma taken from lambs at 8 and 12 weeks of age were measured. Multivariate statistical analysis of plasma metabolite profiles demonstrated effects of development and genotype but not gender. Plasma from Callipyge lambs at 12 weeks of age, but not 8 weeks, was characterized by a metabolic profile consistent with contributions from the affected hypertrophic fast twitch glycolytic muscle fibres. Microarray analysis of the perirenal adipose tissue depot did not reveal a transcriptional effect of the mutation in this tissue. We conclude that there is an indirect systemic effect of the Callipyge mutation in skeletal muscle in the form of changes of blood metabolites, which may contribute to secondary phenotypes such as body leanness.

Since androgens and the AR are known to be important for prostate cancer cell proliferation and invasion we aimed to identify androgen receptor (AR) regulated genes by combining this detailed Illumina beadarray study of androgen regulated gene expression with AR ChIP-sequencing data.

View SamplesAnalysis of aldosterone-producing adenoma (APA) samples from patients with primary hyperaldosteronism. These APAs have a somatic mutation in either KCNJ5, CACNA1D, or ATP1A1. Results provide insight into the different mechanisms each mutation may cause leading to elevated aldosterone production in APA.
Somatic mutations in ATP1A1 and CACNA1D underlie a common subtype of adrenal hypertension.
