Integrated epigenetics of human breast cancer: synoptic investigation of targeted genes, microRNAs and proteins upon demethylation treatment.
Treatment
View SamplesThe contribution of aberrant DNA methylation and the downstream effects in tumorogenesis through silencing of tumor suppressor genes (TSGs) and microRNAs has been investigated. Since these epigenetic alterations can be reversed, we investigated the effects of the epigenetic therapy in breast cancer cell lines.
Integrated epigenetics of human breast cancer: synoptic investigation of targeted genes, microRNAs and proteins upon demethylation treatment.
Treatment
View SamplesCaesarean-delivered preterm pigs were fed 3 d of parenteral nutrition followed by 2 d of enteral formula feeding. Antibiotics (n=11) or control saline (n=13) were given twice daily from birth to tissue collection at d 5. NEC-lesions and intestinal structure, function, microbiology and immunity markers were recorded.
Antibiotics modulate intestinal immunity and prevent necrotizing enterocolitis in preterm neonatal piglets.

View SamplesUsing anti-Argonaute (anti-AGO) antibody co-immunoprecipitation, followed by microarray analyses and downstream bioinformatics, RIP-Chip experiments enable direct analyses of miRNA targets. The analyses support four major findings: (i) RIP-Chip studies correlated with total input mRNA profiling provides more comprehensive information than using either RIP-Chip or total mRNA profiling alone after miRNA transfections; (ii) new data confirm that miR-107 paralogs target coding sequence (CDS) of mRNA; (iii) biochemical and computational studies indicate that the 3 portion of miRNAs plays a role in guiding miR-103/7 to the CDS of targets; and (iv) there are major sequence-specific targeting differences between miRNAs in terms of CDS versus 3-untranslated region targeting, and stable AGO association versus mRNA knockdown. For detailed protocol and for full discussion of the results please see Nelson PT et al, Nucleic Acids Res. 2011 Oct;39(18):8163-72.

View SamplesCellular RNA levels are determined by transcription and decay rates, which are fundamental in understanding gene expression regulation. Measurement of these two parameters is usually performed independently, complicating analysis and introducing methodological biases that hamper direct comparison. Here, we present a simple approach of concurrent sequencing of S. cerevisiae polyA+ and polyA- RNA 3' ends to simultaneously estimate total RNA levels, transcription and decay rates from the same RNA sample. The transcription data generated correlate well with reported estimates and also reveal local RNA polymerase stalling and termination sites with high precision. Although the method by design uses brief metabolic labeling of newly synthesized RNA with 4-thiouridine, the results demonstrate that transcription estimates can also be gained from unlabeled RNA samples. These findings underscore the potential of the approach, which should be generally applicable to study a range of biological questions in diverse organisms. Overall design: RNA 3' end seq of total and 2min 4-thiouracil (4tU) labelled RNA from S. cerevisiae cells. Aliquots of RNA were directly subjected to pA+ RNA 3' end sequencing (noPap samples). A second aliquot was in vitro polyadenylated using E. coli poly(A) polymerase and ribodepleted before library preparation (xPap samples).

View SamplesThe present study reports an unbiased analysis of the genetic profile and regulation of NKG2D expressing CD4 T-cells.An Affymetrix microarray analysis was used to explore the genetic profile of NKG2D+ versus NKG2D- CD4 T-cells. The genetic profile was studied by single gene analysis and gene set enrichment analysis. I found that several immune regulatory receptors was regulated differently in NKG2D+ versus NKG2D- CD4 T-cells. Futhermore, I found that NKG2D+ CD4 T-cells display a genetic profile of cytotoxic T-cells. The gene set enrichment analysis revealed a change in 19 processes, including ARF GTPase activator activity; RNA splicing; Signal transduction; Interspecies interaction between organisms; Regulation of ARF GTPase activity; Cell motility; Mitosis; Cell cycle; Anaphase-promoting complex-dependent proteasomal ubiquitin-dependent protein catabolic process; Induction of apoptosis by extracellular signals; Negative regulation of apoptosis; mRNA export from nucleus; Positive regulation of ubiquitin-protein ligase activity involved in mitotic cell cycle; Cell division; Protein polymerization; Spliceosome assembly; Microtubule-based movement; Immune response; mRNA processing.
