Background: We hypothesized that spleen microarray gene expression profiles analyzed with contemporary pathway analysis software would provide molecular pathways of interest and target genes that might help explain the affect of bcl-2 on improving survival during sepsis.
Surviving sepsis: bcl-2 overexpression modulates splenocyte transcriptional responses in vivo.

View SamplesLymphocytes are adversely affected during sepsis. Some CD4+ splenocytes undergo apoptosis while others become Th2 polarized. The molecular determinants of these phenotypic changes are not known. Here we compare the transcriptional response of septic CD4 splenocytes to CD4 splenocytes from sham-manipulated animals 6h after sepsis and identify an early transcriptional component to the septic CD4+ splenocyte phenotype.
Splenic CD4+ T cells have a distinct transcriptional response six hours after the onset of sepsis.

View SamplesWe engineered HCT116 cells by transfecting a non targeting control hairpin or 2 different short hairpin against KSR1 to knockdown KSR1 and microarrays were performed on non-transfected controls, non-targeting shRNA controls, shRNA #1 targeting KSR1, and shRNA #2 targeting KSR1.

View SamplesMyocardial infarction (MI) often results in left ventricular (LV) remodeling followed by heart failure (HF). It is of great clinical importance to understand the molecular mechanisms that trigger transition from compensated LV injury to HF and to identify relevant diagnostic biomarkers. In this study, we performed transcriptional profiling of LVs in rats with a wide range of experimentally induced infarct sizes and of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) in animals that developed HF.

View Samples3 subtypes of cortical projection neurons were purified by fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) at 4 different stages of development from mouse cortex. A detailed description of the data set is described in Arlotta, P et al (2005) and Molyneaux, BJ et al (2009). The hybridization cocktails used here were originally applied to the Affymetrix mouse 430A arrays and submitted as GEO accession number GSE2039. The same hybridization cocktails were then applied to the Affymetrix mouse 430 2.0 arrays, and those data are contained in this series.

View SamplesA multitude of genes have been associated with bipolar disorder via SNP genotyping studies. However, many of these associated SNPs are found within intronic or intergenic regions of the human genome. We were interested in studying transcriptional profiles/splice variation of genes associated with bipolar disorder within the human striatum. Understanding how these associated genes are transcribed in the human brain may help to guide the development of therapeutic agents for the treatment of bipolar disorder and other neuropsychiatric illnesses. Overall design: NEBNext Ultra Directional RNAseq libraries were generated from putamen and caudate nucleus tissues from 4 healthy control individuals and 4 individuals with bipolar disorder. These libraries were then multiplexed and run on an Illumina HiSeq platform using single read 100bp chemistries.

View SamplesCognitive decline is a common occurrence of the natural aging process in animals, and studying age-related changes in gene expression in the brain might shed light on disrupted molecular pathways that play a role in this decline. The fruit fly is a useful neurobiological model for studying aging due to its short generational time and relatively small brain size. We investigated age-dependent changes in the Drosophila melanogaster whole-brain transcriptome by comparing 5-, 20-, 30- and 40-day-old flies of both sexes. We used RNA-Sequencing of dissected brain samples followed by differential expression, temporal clustering, co-expression network and gene ontology enrichment analyses. Our study provides the first transcriptome profile of aging brains from fruit flies of both sexes, and it will serve as an important resource for those who study aging and cognitive decline in this model. Overall design: 24 biological sample replicates (3 per age per sex), each consisting of pooled dissected whole-brains from 18 flies, were processed for total RNA extraction and sequencing. Age groups were 5, 20, 30 and 40 days old. One sample from the 30-day-old male group had to be removed from analysis due to sample contamination.
