We aimed at finding differently expressed genes in whole blood cells of African children with asymptomatic Plasmodium falciparum infection (A), uncomplicated malaria (U), severe malarial anemia (A) and cerebral malaria (Ce) compared one to another and to healthy children (Co).

View SamplesMesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) are multipotent stem cells with potent immunosuppressive and trophic support functions. Although bone marrow is considered the golden standard to isolate classical MSCs (BM-MSC), MSC-like cells are currently also derived from other, more easily accessible extra-embryonic tissues such as the umbilical cord. In this study we compared the gene expression profile of human Wharton's jelly explant-derived MSC cultures with two adult MSC populations derived from bone marrow, namely BM-MSC and multipotent adult progenitor cells (MAPC).

View SamplesCell lines bearing MLL translocations (MV4-11 and MOLM-13) were treated with a potent, selective inhibitor of the DOT1L histone methyl transferase. Treatment of MLL-rearranged cell lines with the DOT1L inhibitor selectively inhibits H3K79 methylation and blocks expression of leukemogenic genes. Here we provide expression profiling data of cells treated with DOT1L inhibitor or vehicle control.

View SamplesSugars modulate expression of hundreds of genes in plants. Previous studies on sugar signaling, using intact plants or plant tissues, were hampered by tissue heterogeneity, uneven sugar transport and/or inter-conversions of the applied sugars. This, in turn, could obscure the identity of a specific sugar that acts as a signal affecting expression of given gene in a given tissue or cell-type. To bypass those biases, we have developed a novel biological system, based on stem-cell-like Arabidopsis suspension culture. The cells were grown in a hormone-free medium and were sustained on xylose as the only carbon source. The functional genomics approach was used to identify sugar responsive genes, which rapidly (within 1 h) respond specifically to low concentration (1 mM) of glucose, fructose and/or sucrose.

View SamplesWe used a modification of GINI analysis to identify genes containing premature translation termination codons (PTC) generated by nonsense or frameshift mutations in prostate cancer cell lines. The analysis was performed in two steps. In the first step nonsense mediated mRNA decay (NMD) was inhibited in prostate cancer cell lines using incubation with medium containing caffeine for 4 hours. Gene expression analysis of caffeine treated or untreated cells after this step detects mRNA accumulation that takes place for genes containing PTC and as well as for genes that show induction of transciption due to stress caused by NMD inhibition. In the second step either both transcription and NMD or transcription only are blocked by incubating cell in a medium containing either both actinomycin D and caffeine or actinomacin D only for 4 hours. Gene expression analysis after this second step detects mRNA degradation for genes containing PTC as well as for genes that show induction of transciption due to stress caused by NMD inhibition. The efficiency of mRNA degradation for genes containing PTC during this step depends on whether NMD is inhibited or not. The efficiency of mRNA degradation for stress response genes does not depend on whether NMD is inhibited or not.
