Glioblastomas show heterogeneous histological features. These distinct phenotypic states are thought to be associated with the presence of glioma stem cells (GSCs), which are highly tumorigenic and self-renewing sub-population of tumor cells that have different functional characteristics. To investigate gene expression including lncRNA (long non-coding RNA) in GSC, we have performed high-throughput RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) experiment using Illumina GAIIx. Overall design: Profiles of gene expression including lncRNA in GSC were generated by RNA-seq using Illumina GAIIx.

View SamplesWe generated h-hepatocyte chimeric mice with livers that were predominantly repopulated with h-hepatocytes in a h-growth hormone (GH)-deficient state. Using microarray profiles, comparison between h-hepatocytes from h-GH-treated and untreated mice identified 14 GH-up-regulated and four GH-down-regulated genes, including IGF-1, SOCS2, NNMT, IGFLS, P4AH1, SLC16A1, and SRD5A1, and FADS1 and AKR1B10, respectively.

View SamplesScreening for genes regulated by Etv2 within Flk-1+/PDGFRa+ ES derived mesoderm.Microarray analysis performed to screen for the candidate genes regulated by Etv2. TT2 ES cells differentiated on OP9 feeder cells were sorted using Flk-1 and PDGFRa antibodies.Gene expressions from these two populations were compared.

View SamplesWe generated the cardiac-specific knockout of Trbp (Trbp-cKO) in mice. We profiled the transcriptome in both wild-type and Trbp-cKO hearts, and found numerous genes were deregulated by deletion of Trbp. We also profiled miRNA expression both wild-type and Trbp-cKO hearts, and found expression of a subset of miRNA species was altered in Trbp-cKO hearts. Overall design: Examine expression of mRNAs and miRNAs in wild-type and Trbp-cKO hearts
Trbp regulates heart function through microRNA-mediated Sox6 repression.

View SamplesDeregulated retinal angiogenesis directly cause vision loss in many ocular diseases, such as diabetic retinopathy and retinopathy of prematurity. To identify endothelial-specific genes expressed in angiogenic retinal vessels, we purified genetically labeled endothelial cells from Tie2-GFP transgenic mice and performed gene expression profiling using DNA microarray. To find out genes associated with angiogenesis, comparisons of microarray data were carried out between GFP-negative non-endothelial retinal cells and GFP-positive retinal endothelial cells in angiogenic P8 retina.

View SamplesTo analyse roles of HAI-1/Spint1 in intestinal tumorigenesis, we examined the effect of intestine-specific deletion of Spint1 gene on Apc(Min/+) mice. The loss of Hai-1/Spint1 significantly accelerated tumor formation in ApcMin/+ mice and shortened their survival periods.

View SamplesTo examine the role of hepatpcyte growth factor activator inhibitor type 1 (HAI-1) in cancer, we analyzed effect of HAI-1 silencing on gene expression profiles of human oral squamous cell carcinoma cell line, SAS. We used short hairpin RNA (shRNA) directed against HAI-1 mRNA. We constructed retroviral vectors which showed stable and significant silencing effects on HAI-1 genes of SAS.

View SamplesRNA sequencing was performed to examine differential gene expression profiles in the ring gland of PG-specific Séance RNAi animals versus control. Overall design: Drosophila larvae with PG-specific knockdown of Séance and control animals were carefully staged at the larval L2/L3 molt. Ring glands were dissected at 44 hours L3. RNA isolated from ring glands were subject to RNA sequencing. Differential gene expression profiles were compared between control and RNAi animals.

View SamplesWe investigated the molecular mechanisms for osteolytic bone metastasis by selecting human lung cancer cell line subpopulations with elevated metastatic activity and validating genes that are overexpressed in these cells. A bone-seeking squamous lung cancer cell line (HARA-B4) was established by sequentially injecting parental HARA cells into the left ventricle of male 5-week-old nude mice 4 times.
